dade: Buying Short Sales or Foreclosures - what are the Differences for Miami-Dade Buyers? Let's compare... - 12/13/08 04:35 AM
Every buyer wants a "deal" right now and I don't blame them!  If you are buying in this wildly crazy market in Miami-Dade, you need to feel comfortable about your purchase.  Deals can most definitely be had, often in the form of a short sale purchase or a true foreclosure.

dade: How many acres are needed to keep a horse in Florida? - 03/13/08 01:36 PM
As an equestrian real estate specialist in Florida, I am often asked how many acres are needed to keep a horse. The answer is, unfortunately, not always easy. On the legal side, individual counties and even subdivisions may have varying zoning regulations and normally the more restrictive will supersede the less restrictive. I have seen
In evaluating your choices for horse happy real estate, make sure that the property you like is zoned to allow horses, don't assume that a property that currently has horses and/or a barn is LEGALLY Ok for them.
For practical horsekeeping, check with your local UF … (6 comments)

dade: Top 10 Weirdest Things about Winter in Miami (this if for the Northeners)!! - 02/14/08 12:50 AM
I was born in Wisconsin, grew up in Virginia and lived 5 years of my adult life in Germany.  I am a jeans and sweater wearing, snow loving, fire-place warming kinda' girl.  My birthday was always "snowed out" in January, I know what chapped lips are like from the cold, how the cold hurts your temples, what it is like to have to scrape ice off of your windshield and what black ice is.  That is me!  I love it, the smell of a wood burning fireplace, a snuggly sweater and a hot chocolate.  Send me to Maine, I'd be happy … (11 comments)

dade: my green dream house-barn - a delayed response to the Eco-Challenge - 12/31/07 03:30 AM
janeAnne and the Eco-All Stars help to keep us at the forefront of being good stewards of the land in thought, deed and mentorship. janeAnne challenged us to come up with our green dream home, "money being no object". I'm late to the party (the judging is complete), but here is my idea of a green dream home(barn).
First Element: I would combine my home and barn into one structure. Building materials would be reduced, energy efficiency improved, and utility costs reduced by combining them into one structure rather than two. There would be windows between the main living areas and the … (7 comments)
