What Should My Realtor Do The Day Before Closing?

Here is a video we shot the day before a closing on a Siesta Key Condominium.  We performed a walkthrough to ensure agreed up repairs were done and that all of the major systems were operable.  Now, off to closing......

Did John Ringling Build Dwarf Houses For The Little People That Worked For Him?

Welcome to Sarasota. New residents will often not notice all that John Ringling did for our city.  I've gone to his church (built with excess circus equipment).  Had closings at the bank he founded and frequently visit the barrier islands he developed.  We all do.  But it wasn't until recently that I saw the homes he reportedly built for the little people in his employ.

Before I moved to Florida full time, I loved to visit theme parks in the winter and enjoy the good weather.  I had literally never visited a beach in the entire state because, let's face it, everyone told me Florida was too hot int he Summer and I could never live there.  I laugh at this belief set now because, I watch the temperatures in Chicago and Boston in July and August now and realize it is often cooler here in the Summertime. So without further ado, let's go through my top 5 reasons to leave the state you are in and move to paradise. 1. WEATHER  This will always be number one!  Today it is a cold snap in January so we started the day at 54 degrees and things will top out at 70 this afternoon.  Perfect.  In Rockford Il, for example, there are snow storms starting in November, and record high temperature is 112 degrees.  ...
