Your Thoughts Regarding Advertising...Huntsville Alabama

As agents, it's our job to match location and available features requested by our clients to homes available on the market. Discrimination in advertising is simply not permitted, not ethical and unacceptable. Wording such as: number of children, adult community, no families, ethnic references, senior … (16 comments)

Tony's "Little Italy", Italian Restaurant, Village Of Providence, Huntsville Alabama
Recently an out-of-state client emailed me, asking about restaurants, and where they could get good pizza. My initial response was; "so you decided to move to Chicago"? Of course I knew they wanted info about restaurants here in Huntsville and Madison Alabama, but but as unfair as it may be, Chicago is the city that I tend to judge or measure all other cities restaurants by, including hot dog joints.
I emailed my client back a few names of restaurants and Tony's "Little Italy" was one of them. The fact … (8 comments)

Buying Foreclosure Properties And Rights Of Redemption
Rights of Redemption is a topic I've had to explain more often than not these days especially because of all the foreclosure properties on the market.

Generally, there are two established types of redemption rights and vary by state. Equitable right of redemption refers to the foreclosed individuals right to redeem his property before the foreclosure sale. In order to redeem the property the owner usually has to make up any … (5 comments)

Steve Martin, Just A Wild And Crazy Guy, Huntsville Alabama, Von Braun Center
Before all my friends and acquaintances nod in agreement, I'm not talking about myself (this time). I am, however, talking about the wild and crazy Steve Martin.
My first recollection of Steve Martin was when he wrote for the Smothers Brothers in the late sixties, but I think the world really sat up and took notice when Martin did guest appearances on Saturday Night Live. He actually was not a cast member as many thought because of the number of appearances he made on SNL. Steve Martin … (6 comments)

Grille 29 Restaurant in Huntsville Alabama is upscale dining yet with a casual atmosphere. Well known as a great steak and seafood restaurant offering Fillet's, Scallops and Lobster, be sure to save room for dessert because they are among the best I've had here in the Huntsville area. Their Chocolate Souffle' is a must and my favorite, but be sure to let your waiter know that you want it ahead of time as it takes 20-25 minutes to prepare.
