daytona real estate: Should We Separate Business and Pleasure?
- 04/01/08 03:43 PM
My last post I am not getting it. Do you? was to some extent the result of confusion. I lashed at the agent's post which was not intended for my eyes, and it was in Spanish because it was, as I now understand, written for Guiliana's Spanish speaking customers on Localism.
There are two parts to our being on AR: pleasure and business. We exchange ideas, comment on blogs, visit friends... When I am in a business suit, then it is business, and it means posts to Localism: Listings, market snapshots, events, photos, etc.
One is for the peers, the other is for consumers only, … (4 comments)

daytona real estate: Oceanside Inn. Congratulations, James Dion!
- 03/29/08 08:34 AM
Actually, he is not really new for the area. James Dion, the new GM of one of the best and still affordable (wonderful combination, isn't it?) condo-hotels in the area is not a novice. Only 6 years in business, but he is rightfully considered one of the strongest GM.
I first met him when he came as GM to Fountain Beach Resort, where we have our office. He came in tumultous times, in the middle of the biggest Daytona event, when the previous management company took away the computers, all reservations, everything. And he kept his cool, within days everything was … (4 comments)

daytona real estate: Latest News And Rumors About Hawaiian Inn
- 02/16/08 04:40 AM
Hawaiian Inn - one of the most successful older condominium-hotels in Daytona Beach area is in the news.
The property was built in 1965, and time takes its toll. Some mechanical problems caused it to be closed for some time in 2007, and though the management was running it at very high occupancy, they still came a bit short of the previous year. I think they had the best occupancy on the beach in 2007.
The problem with collapsing coquina stone forced them to close their operations for several days in January, and the Management company decided to pull the plug.
New management company … (0 comments)

daytona real estate: Exporting Democracy. Do we have the Market?
- 02/15/08 06:13 PM
In a nutshell, American idea of the world is that of a sculptor, who takes a stone block and just chisels away the waste to open the beauty which is already there.
In a popular purely American perception of the world, the freedom and democracy are the beauties that are there and that would be cherished by every person and every nation. Why? Because Americans can't believe that there is a single person who would not embrace freedom and democracy. This is a very optimistic view but, unfortunately, overly optimistic. There is no substance hiddenn in the form, nothing to release.

daytona real estate: Can you play a Russian Roulette like Donald Trump?
- 12/31/07 01:20 PM
This is not about liking or disliking Donald Trump. This is about the success in America and our perception of it. And even though we love success stories, and success in general, Donald Trump is getting little credit and was noted for his arrogance.
We do not judge the success by personality traits, but we do judge people this way. And if the arrogance is the key word for a successful person, there is little love present.
It may be not fair, but life is not fair. But it obscures the success. Basically, we are dealing with a type of self-promotion and self … (6 comments)

daytona real estate: Do you want 241 comments on one blog?
- 11/17/07 03:48 PM
Brad Anderson's Who's Reading Blogs Anyway... 3 Ways To Find Out brought 241 comments (last checked Nov 17). I liked the blog, but caught myself for the first time on AR that I read 10-12 comments and then went straight down to leave my own comment.
Is there such thing as too many comments?
There are obvious pluses to the killer post.
it doesn't hurt the author, it is a sign of wisdom and power, it pushes you into celebrity status, You look good if the public see that (success is in numbers), we can't measure the quality, and we substitute is with quantity … (15 comments)

daytona real estate: To Help Digestion And To Prevent Choking
- 11/14/07 06:42 AM
I responded to anonymous e-mail request for the info on a particular Listing. This happens quite often. It puts me in a tough situation: I do not know anything about the person, who sent me the e-mail, so I understand that they do not want to open up. Fine, they are protecting their privacy, but at the same token I can only provide general information.
That's exactly what I did. I sent the list of 35 properties, which, in my mind, were the best deals in certain price range in that area. Next day I sent a follow up e-mail asking … (4 comments)

daytona real estate: Buyers waiting for a miracle, or they love running after the locmotive
- 11/13/07 01:46 PM
A few weeks ago I got an e-mail from a prospect in NC. He found me on the Internet, so I was already happy. I answered, he called and we discussed a lot of things. I forwarded him information, listings, wrote crazy long e-mails answering endless questions. I get e-mails quite often, send people information and usually never hear from them again but to my surprise, Mike sent me an e-mail on Friday and asked to plan showing him some condo-hotel units on Sunday. I already scheduled a business meeting with a bright young investor in Gainesville, who wanted to talk to us regarding … (9 comments)

daytona real estate: The media is crazy... Is it? The round is not finished yet.
- 11/10/07 06:10 AM
After posting yesterday the blog about the media (http://activerain.com/blogsview/268375/The-media-is-crazy), where I simply wanted to bring the attention to the fact that we are after the messenger, I have received several comments, that made me understand that I was not able to achieve it and that this is a bigger issue here. Kate Bourland in her comment has outlined it the best - thanks Kate. It is a very interesting comment, and I could not respond to it within the limits of a comment, hence this post
Though I understand that we all make mistakes, I can't agree that journalism for whatever … (5 comments)

My last post I am not getting it. Do you? was to some extent the result of confusion. I lashed at the agent's post which was not intended for my eyes, and it was in Spanish because it was, as I now understand, written for Guiliana's Spanish speaking customers on Localism.
