Ocala's Beautiful Homes!

Home inspection reports have all kinds of potential, they can kill a deal, make a deal or open up a can of worms.   The question I often ask is: Repairs or credit, choose your poison?   On a recent inspection there were about 5 items that created a need for repair.  Some of them were minor and so...

I am so spoiled!  I don’t ever remember a February day when I lived in New York being so warm and beautiful.  Today was in the mid to upper 60’s.  We went to Rainbow Spring State Park in Dunnellon Florida  for a Cracker Weekend fair.  Cracker is an expression that has negative connotations in ot...

How many times have you heard that Realtors and car salespeople are the same?  Having bought many new cars I find that statement unfair and somewhat painful.  It is a hard stigma to overcome, but it’s not impossible.
