real estate: Ormond Beach Florida-Living in Paradise!!
- 07/09/08 02:53 PM
Do you want to wake up every morning and be able to enjoy this, or maybe just a stroll on the beach? How about having your morning coffee on your balcony overlooking this view. Ormond Beach is a great place to live! Watch the sunrise over the Atlantic, and the sunset from one of many river front docks overlooking the Halifax River, part of the Inter Coastal waterway.
I think that this is one of the nicest areas, most beautiful areas in Florida. We are still a small town, but only a short drive to Daytona, and about an hour or … (0 comments)
real estate: Mortgages????????????
- 03/31/08 11:25 AM
Are you having a hard time getting your contracts to close? The mortgage industry has lost it's mind! Just kidding, they have just made our jobs a lot more difficult. Jeez, we have to earn our commissions, but first you have to understand the changes in mortgages. There have been so many changes in the last couple of months it is next to impossible for mortgage brokers to keep up. With that being the case imagine how hard it is for the rest of us. If you are selling real estate I honestly feel you have to get a grip on all the changes … (10 comments)
real estate: We're Almost at the End of January!!!
- 01/23/08 01:07 PM
2007 is over and we're almost at the end of January. I think this is going to be a very good year!!! I have started it off on the right foot, with the right attitude. How about you? I talk to so many realtors who are still hanging on last years business. They are still thinking it will come back if I sit in the office and wait. I think it is time to develop new skills, new attitudes, and new techniques for 2008. I really think last year was the time, but it is never too late. If you didn't make the … (6 comments)
real estate: It's Been a Long Time!
- 09/18/07 10:49 AM
I haven't written a blog in several months. I have many excuses, but none worth telling. I have to be honest I have been working very hard to make a living in this real estate market. I can't complain the year could have been a lot worse, and it could have been a lot better. I know there are a lot of agents who can't say the same. I have been very fortunate to have been able to keep my head above water, but it hasn't been easy. I hear a lot of complaining, and very negative things from fellow agents about … (10 comments)
real estate: Staying on Top
- 05/04/07 12:19 AM
The one thing that always stays the same in the real estate business is it's never dull or boring! Every transaction is different. I honestly learn something new everyday. You really have to stay on top of learning curve to make in this business. I don't think you can ever have enough education or experience in real estate. I am learning to be more organized (this has not been one of my strongest areas in the past). I am spending a lot more of my marketing dollars on education and organization. I know some people think this money shouldn't be called … (17 comments)
real estate: Do you think sales will get better?
- 02/23/07 12:27 PM
I think we are hearing mixed reviews on what the real estate market is going to do in the near future. I know there is talk that interest rates should hold steady at least until Fall and that the market should pick up this year and get even better in the Fall. I think here in Florida that may very well be true. What is going on in other parts of the country? How bad is it in certain state and how good is it in others. When we hear the news they give us a general over-all view as though … (0 comments)
real estate: Open houses, a good marketing tool or not?
- 02/21/07 11:13 AM
Open houses have become an issue with one of my listings. I have very mixed opinions about them, a couple of years ago I think the may have been a better tool than they are today, the reason I say that is, there weren't as many homes on the market (Ormond Beach Florida) and we had a lot of buyers. Now on an average weekend you can see as many as 20 or more open house signs all within a few blocks of each other. Sometimes there will be 2 or 3 on one corner. It begins to look and feel … (7 comments)
real estate: To all Furture Florida Home Buyers
- 02/12/07 12:43 PM
I really feel now is the time to buy!! There are so many homes on the market for several reasons; some need to move back home to family because of age or health, some are of retirement age and want to cash out for a smaller home, but whatever the reason home prices are down and there's still a lot of negotiating room. Florida real estate is bound to go back up in price. Just look at the winter you guys are having up North. Upstate New York has 11 feet (not inches) of snow. I have lived here too long I can hardly remember what a … (0 comments)
real estate: Century 21 Sundance Realty
- 02/07/07 12:38 PM
Want a friendly, easy to get along with, helpful place to do your real estate business? I have to say Sundance is a great company to be with. The agents and management work together, we don't cut each others throats for business and it works. We help each other, that may sound lame, but it's true. I couldn't work in an atmosphere were I had to constantly worry about what the guy at the next desk was doing. When you don't have an answer, need help, or training it is always available. We even have a wonderful in house trainer. If you are new … (1 comments)
