gulfport ms: Help find this adorable dog a home--Please! Pictures included - 02/06/11 03:14 AM
I met this sweet natured dog while visiting an apartment/mobile home complex bordering the Back Bay in Biloxi. You may greet him at 2600 Old Bay Road. The complex Manager, Diane says that a person in a big black truck just dropped him off and left. No one can adopt him there as he is too big, although he has stolen the hearts of many residents.

I cannot take him. We live in town without a fenced yard. Otherwise, I would certainly bend my "no dog" rule. When I first visited this area, he came near me--but did not bark, … (4 comments)

gulfport ms: A Bit of Humor in the Day|Original Photos - 04/21/09 11:23 AM
I was doing property rounds at Avondale, the CAL community just off North HWY 15, Biloxi. I stopped by one of the homes that an owner staged. (Ignore the bounce house, that was for an open house.) So, I'm getting things out of my car and leave the trunk open. Kicked off my shoes to walk barefoot in the grass around to the back door to put a Supra lock on. I forgot my gadget and walked back around front.
There I met 2 of Harrison County's finest. They thought it odd that a car was parked in the driveway with … (4 comments)

gulfport ms: Sky Walk Adventure|Photo Blog|Gulfport, MS 39501 - 01/13/09 02:40 PM

I drive Hwy 90 (also known as Beach Boulevard) frequently. Each time I drove under the Sky Walk of the Island View Casino, I would think..."I want to go up there and walk across". Well, its not like the Island View charges to walk across Highway 90 using their Sky Walk. It was just one more of those things on my mental list that I wanted to do but seemed to never get around to actually doing it.

Finally, one day when I was working on listing preparation for 3214 12th St, just a couple of blocks away--I decided … (5 comments)

gulfport ms: Relocating to Gulfport, MS?|Grateful for Gulfport Planning and Zoning - 12/30/08 04:00 PM
If you are relocating to Gulfport, MS --I encourage you to make a pit stop by Gulfport MS City Website .
Today I was reviewing the online zoning manual while coordinating different projects being done at 3214 12th St, Gulfport MS, Harrison County, Zip Code 39501, Area Code 228, Ward 2, Zoned T4L in preparation for the soon to come--Listing Launch.
It struck me that the City of Gulfport website is simply a great source for anything Gulfport.
...You might want to double check the zoning classification and flood rating of your property of interest. Especially with the recently Developed Smart … (1 comments)

gulfport ms: SE Gulfport MS, Harrison County *13 Closings in the last 90 Days* - 12/13/08 04:08 PM

gulfport ms: MLS Mini Review SW Gulfport, MS - 12/06/08 06:59 AM
 
SW Gulfport, MS  Zip Code 39501  Area Code 228
 
What a selection! Fixer Uppers to Perfection, small homes, large homes, quaint, vintage, stylish. Many Katrina damaged homes have now been renovated. There are many many single story, simple cottage and ranch styles.
I have a gut feeling (based on research I can't disclose --that there will be a positive flucuation in land sales and homes below the $130K down. That "gut level feeling" tells me that there are qualified prospective buyers that will simply have to make a decision. If you are in this group--I wish you the best!

gulfport ms: Whose Habits Have You Picked UP?|Multi-Subject, Multi-Photo Blob, I mean Blog - 04/08/08 08:28 AM
     I am privileged to attend a church pastored by a dynamic couple. I used to fall asleep in church.
NO more, Yeah!!! They are such dynamic teachers that I literally absorb a lot of teaching (sorry, Pastors I have not acquired the ability to speak the scriptures as you do...).
     Pastor Felix tends to end a spoken paragraph with a"hmph". Now I notice that when I am in a client meeting, at the end of a Real Estate train of thought, whether good or bad, I end with "hmph". The first time I heard myself do that it shocked me! Test … (11 comments)

gulfport ms: Harrison County, MS * MLS Update - 03/30/08 05:18 PM
Good news! The market is not stagnant. Weird maybe, but not stagnant. Please keep in mind that the figures below do not include: Condos, shouldn't include mobile homes, and should include the criteria listed below. Remember too, that only takes a couple of MLS listings with data incorrectly listed for the figures to be skewed. However, this is the best guideline we have and I am grateful for the opportunity to dive into stats from time to time. 
If you are potentially buying or selling property in the Gulf Coast MLS area and would like to see reports oriented around your more specific criteria, … (0 comments)

gulfport ms: Secret Breakthrough Via Spam - 01/29/08 06:12 AM
  The good thing about getting spam lottery winnings AND all the Beloved Nigerian emails is--for a moment we can allow ourselves to visualize i n s a n e wealth. This is a good thing, so bring it on Spam Artists!
Long before anyone made insane money on "the Secret", I wsas taught the Secret from my MOM. The REALity of the Law of Attraction is taught throughout the Bible and by many great authors too numerous too mention. (Besides, most of you know who they are already.) The Law of Attraction,  in the unseen--is so simple.
Yet, I struggle with it. I … (2 comments)

gulfport ms: *Photo Group* Cruisin the Coast - 10/08/07 02:43 PM
Driving Hwy 90/Beach Blvd this past week was fun, and a bit nostalgic. I couldn't help being a little wistful for the era of these cars (still a little ahead of my time for many:-). Do you remember the days of these cars? How about gas prices? Fast Food?
Showing my age, I remember hearing about gas wars at 28 cents a gallon, plus the attendent filled up your car, washed your windows and checked your oil and air pressure. I remember as a teenager fountain cokes were a dime.
Cruisin the Coast is an annual event. Book accomodations now if you plan to … (0 comments)

gulfport ms: Comparing Close Sale to Closed Sale of the Same Property - 10/03/07 05:33 PM
I found turnaround properties in an MLS comp search and thought I would share the findings with you.
The calculation of increase for turnaround properties has little value other than in a very general sense, to show people why buying instead of renting in most cases will show appreciation.
The variables that we don't know here are important and the reason why we cannot draw a picture of true appreciation. Mainly, we do not know what if any improvements were made and whether either of the 6 parties to transaction were under duress. 
In case my table doesn't make sense to you in the … (0 comments)

gulfport ms: Do You want to Have Some Fun? Calling all Associates... - 10/02/07 04:35 AM
Recently I have held the AR 1st place in Mississippi--off and on. Damion has been busy, so its been Jeff Fulgham and I playing cat and mouse. I am going to be busy as soon as I complete this post. I know I'll fall behind, I just hope not too much. (Oh, muse--where is the inspiration for a feature when I need it?) So, if you want to amuse yourself, stop by Mississippi for this good natured competition for the top place. I don't even know if it makes a difference in anything, I just want to hold 1st place for … (5 comments)
