Here Comes Fay!

Tropical storm Fay is now forecast to hit this area about 44 hours from now. People are buying supplies, getting ready, but still calm. It seems that it will be a weak storm, barely a Cat 1.

This is the first weather threat since Wilma in 2005; that one ended veering south and travelling from Naples to Miami.

We havs supplies ready, car full of gas, etc. Our only major decision is whether to install our hurricane curtains...a HUGE undertaking. I think we'll take our chances unless Fay turns out to be forecase a Cat 3.

New Listing in Burnt Store Village

There's something thrilling about a new listing.

For me it's a combination of (1) meeting new people and learning about their plans (2) winning -- sometimes these are competitive and I love to win (3) trying to create great images of the property (3) adding another property to my listing inventory (4) the opportunity for the sellers to meet their objectives (5) the opportunity for me to get another sale and associated commission.

Today's new listing is a gem of a home in Burnt Store Village. It's small but stunning inside. Beautifully upgraded...a top-quality job. Check it out HERE. Be sure to look at the virtual tour.

Is this an ad? If so, I need to mention that I work for Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.

I never thought I would be doing this!

Well, whadda know!

I now have a blog....and what am I supposed to do? Write a journal, you say? OK, but would anyone care?

We'll see. But this is a two-way deal, right? So I will write some stuff about my adventures in real estate and YOU are invited to comment, ask questions, or whatever.
