The town is full of locals and visitors alike who are here to see the Daytona 500 Race. We have a sold out crowd thanks to some last minute ticket price cuts. The economy and such has had an effect on everyone. This past weeks race crowds seemed almost non existent to this local. Traffic was sparse, stores were not full. Except, that is, for the supermarkets. Walmart and Publix were jammed with people who were eating in, hence the low turnout at local eateries. But today is a packed house, people spending money kind of day. Thanks to all of (1 comments)

In this market, buyers are scarce, we all know this. It pains me though when I send in an offer and the Listing agent's response is slow or non existent. I am aware that out of town sellers are hard to get a hold of or you have tickets to the opera.... But Realtors, should acknowledge the cutoff times with at the very least a phone call.

There are so many variations to the occupation of "self employed". People who work from home, Professionals with degrees, Licensed Professionals such as Realtors, etc....

Some self employed individuals have the flexibility of making their own schedules and actually scheduling appointments, other's depend on walk in traffic and marketing. Some have assistants (1 comments)

I met both sets of buyers the same week. They were interested in my listing of 5 acres in the country and wanted to live on a farm. However, they as individuals had nothing in common. One was a father of 5, former pro ball player and was presently self employed. The other, owner of 5+ rental homes wanted a place to relax and store equipment for her next business venture. Neither bought the home on 5 acres. They liked me well enough that they used my services to acquire their next property. I took father of 5 on about 56 (2 comments)
