destin real estate: I've lost my MOJO - 11/29/11 01:57 AM

I have lost my MOJO. Not in real estate, but volunteerism. I have been a student and champion of my chosen field since 2003. I have fully dedicated myself to helping others, volunteering for projects, special events, fund raising, you name it. I am just tired. I can't remember how many times I have had to rearrange a client appointment just to make time for a meeting or other event. Well, my 2012 business plan has cut way back on these moments in my business that are not making me any money. I find that many don't even appreciate all that … (4 comments)

destin real estate: How I got my Life Back ! - 08/14/11 03:08 AM

I killed Facebook. I feel so liberated. I got my life back. I found I was spending as much as 2 hours a day of precious business time doing really silly stuff. Not only do I feel liberated, but I can now concentrate on more face to face activities to build my business.
It isn't easy killing off your Facebook account. You can easily deactivate it which is what I did. I don't feel like deleting every post and photo that I have ever posted. Can you imagine how time consuming that would be? So I am a deactivated user. Facebook … (8 comments)

destin real estate: Friends Make Lunch Taste Better - 01/08/09 12:01 PM

Yesterday was my birthday and I wanted to share with you some terrific friends who treated me to lunch and wine. I had a flight of wines at Chan's Wine World located in Destin. Best in flight was a 2006 Rustenberg Brampton Cabernet Sauvignon. Cassis, blackberries, cherries, cigar box and spice characteristics. Yummy.
Here are good friends who know me well, Bobbie Celano from Trustmark Bank and Vicki Hoover from H&S Title and Escrow in Destin, FL.

destin real estate: Black Friday Shoppers are out in Destin, FL - 11/28/08 07:01 AM

Are these people nuts? Not sure what you did last evening, but here in Destin, FL shoppers were lined up before midnight just waiting to get into the stores for the mad rush for shopping. I prefer to miss all of that and shop online. What did you do? Were you in the madness?
I drove by the Silver Sands Factory Outlet today on my way to lunch and there was not a parking space to be found. Looks like the economy at least here in Destin is flourishing.
Hope you had a nice holiday!

destin real estate: Walton County Sherrif gets Arrested for DUI - 11/25/08 02:33 AM

I just read a news article about a sherrif in Walton County, Florida who was arrested for a DUI going 80 mph in a 45 mph zone. He was arrested by another co-worker when he was pulled over and he refused to take the breathilizer test. I was out last night as well and had two glasses of wine and several glasses of water and two cups of coffee because I knew I had to drive home. This was over a period of about four hours with a full meal involved too. I know that the local police force has a … (1 comments)

destin real estate: Pets are new GREEN Heat - 11/19/08 12:38 AM

Aren't pets just wonderful? It got down in the 50s here at the beach last night. I do not run my heat because I have the two best heaters in the world. Meet Haley. She was a rescue from Goose Creek, SC. She is part character, part human, part Llaso Apso and part Dashound. She is so sweet and warm too!

Meet her sister Missy another rescue who is part human, part toy poodle, and part Shitzu.

I think more people should buy heaters like the two above. They give off wonderful heat in the evenings. They are warm … (6 comments)

destin real estate: Do you pick up pennies? - 11/17/08 10:45 PM

I am asking today, "Do you pick up pennies?". I find myself thrilled at the chance to pick up a lost penny. I always stop and pick them up. Do you? I worked with a customer of mine recently who laughed at me for pickiing up pennies. He told me that he hated pennies and frequently throws them out the window of his car. I told him how thrilled I was that he did that because I must be the one who keeps finding them. I find them everywhere. They even show up on the beach with sand encrusted on them … (4 comments)

destin real estate: Real Estate Becomes TOO HOT to Handle ~ Panama City Beach, FL - 11/17/08 12:55 AM

Okay, I work for RED HOT REALTY, but last night a real estate office in Panama City Beach belonging to Coldwell Banker burned down. What a shame for all of the Realtors out of this office. Records, contracts, possibly earnest money checks, everything gone up in a puff of smoke. This is a horrible shame and it made me think today about my own redundancy system that I use to protect my client's records. I use everything electronically via scanning and saving on my computer which is then backed up daily by a system I learned about in one of my … (2 comments)

destin real estate: Unemployment hitting local market ~ Destin, FL - 11/14/08 01:42 AM

I went recently to the liquidation sale at Linen n' Things and tried to get an ice cream cone at an already closed Brusters in Destin. I had not even tried the new Royal B Restaurant and it seems they came in as fast as they left the area. I heard that Wild Birds Unlimited and Dagwood's Sandwich Shop is closing their doors too. These are all local employers in our Destin market area.
It makes me wonder who will be next.
Hold on for more foreclosures in the upcoming months. It may be until early of 2010 before we see … (5 comments)

destin real estate: Destin Discussing Topless Bar - 11/13/08 12:19 AM

Oh boy, just what we need. Destin is discussing a topless bar and the location would be near churches, schools, and residential neighborhoods. This one is sure to become heated in more ways than one. The street is Mountain Drive. No pun intended here. This is serious. Destin has a permanent population of around 11,000 residents. Now come on now, do we really need this in our backyard? Yes, we are a beautiful spot to come to and yes in the summer months we swell (like my choice of words today?) to a population of over 1.3 million. However, we have … (5 comments)

destin real estate: Disrespectul Realtors - 11/12/08 09:18 AM

I presented an offer for clients of mine two days ago with an expiration date of 5 p.m. this evening. Do you think that the Realtor could even pick up the phone to let me know anything at all? Nothing after emailing, text messages, and calling. No answer whatsoever.....I find this to be totally unprofessional and disrespectful to everyone involved in the transaction, especially my client. Your thoughts?
I treat all of my clients, customers, and fellow Realtors with the respect that they deserve. I would have never done this to another in the business. There is just no excuse for rudeness.

destin real estate: Women Get Dolled Up for Night Out - 11/10/08 10:12 PM

Reporting from Orlando, the Women's Council of Realtors installed their 2009 President Becky Hill on Saturday night during one really big Installation Party and AfterHours Party. President Becky Hill is from Texas and Texas did not disappoint us with a party in a big way. The women at the party were all dressed up. Now this is an organization of about 16,000 members plus. We have 91% women in our organization, afterall it is a Women's Organization and then we have 9% men in the group who support our efforts of getting ahead with leadership skills. This is the best organization … (2 comments)

destin real estate: Family First - 11/08/08 02:38 AM

Today with all of the bad news in the marketplace and economy, I am reminded that life is all about family. My day included a call to my youngest sister about my 7 year old nephew Jared who is suffering from a fatal disease called INAD. INAD has no cure and only about one child every ten years is born with it. Slowly it is taking my nephew's body functions one part at a time. It is a horrific disease. Jared is in the hospital today slowly taking what could be his last breaths of air. His condition has gotten worse … (1 comments)

destin real estate: Housing after the Election - 11/06/08 11:30 PM

How are the recent elections affecting the market in Destin? They have had no impact yet. I say yet, because I do believe that after President Elect Barack Obama takes office that we will see some swift movement in the housing market. Changes to rates, programs, etc. to help the existing home buyers stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure and also lower home mortgage rates which are needed to spur the economy and home buying again. With the ease of credit in a free flowing market, things will get better. It is a great time to buy right now if … (0 comments)
