I had a very interesting day today. I was called yesterday to come see Mr. So and So who had two very high end condos on Gulf Shore Drive in Naples he wanted to list.

In light of the tragic news coming out of Ohio this morning and the unfortunate fate of our fellow Realtors, may I ask..... What is your company's safety alert protocol that is currently in place and have you ever had to use it? Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those families.

One great piece of information that I've never heard of before was Scan Life.  What do these scans do for the R...

I walk every morning that I don't have clients. It is very unusual to see roses in Naples FL because of the heat and humidity. But, lo and behold, I saw a rose bush this morning and was admiring it. I just had to sneak in and get close enough to see if Florida roses smelled as wonderful as Pennsy...
