orlando real estate: Phew Im still active with Active Rain - 07/12/10 02:38 PM
I cant believe it's been almost 3 months since I have last blogged. I used to be such a religious blogger. I would write at the very least 1 blog per week sometimes 7, depending on the market and my mood. The past few months have been crazy. I have continued to solicit business with new banks and asset management companies, slowly trying to build my team so neither our buyers or my REO customers receive anything less then 100% service. However in this growth one thing has suffered. My blogging and my passion for it. Thanks to Brad I am … (6 comments)

orlando real estate: Orlando Real Estate Market this week in review - 07/27/09 09:46 AM
Orlando Real Estate Market in review for the week of July 19 -25, 2009. There is a portion of the Central Florida real estate market that is moving at a fast clip with properties flying off the shelf, then there are other segments of our market that are barely moving off the starting line.
Orlando's First Time Home buyers need to be educated and work with a buyers specialist dealing in their price segment. Properties under the $150,000 price point are almost in what's considered a normal market and no longer a sellers market. So lets she what has happened this … (1 comments)
