Eva Armstrong's (environmentalvisions) Blog

This is the third blog about my effforts to secure a house with some interesting challenges for a customer that fell in love with it the minute she walked in the door.  Due to some of those challenges, our first effort to buy the house failed, and we are now making our third attempt to find a hom...

I'm really amazed at how patient I can be with some things.  Definitely patience has been required to help my customer find a home.  You wouldn't think so in this market - plenty of homes to choose from - and at GREAT prices....  It's Mid December, and after the Dellview Drive fiasco, my customer...

                                                      I bet you read that title and thought no way, not all three at once - but yes it's true!  I've been working on this one house, for a customer who really loves it and has a vision for it.  But if you had asked me last October if I would still b...

                     I can't believe it's been 12 months since I joined the ranks of the Florida Real Estate Sales Professionals.  Wow, 12 months!!!

Ok - so I've been gone for a couple of weeks... I have a really good excuse ---I murdered my laptop !  Yes - you read it right--- murdered my laptop!!!!  Made a real mess of it to boot - not clean and totally bloodless like Dexter (for those of you who have read the books or watched the TV series...

We made it home, safe and sound though a bit tired after 9 days on the road.  I promised two things - a trip wrap up with pictures with which will come in the final blog (or tomorrow - I have to pick up my pictures), and my last reflections on the interesting differences in real estate activity I...

At a time when at least two of our fifty states are in dire straits from severe drought conditions - the worst droughts in their states' histories, what a wonderful time to consider a RAIN BARREL as a closing gift for your residential customers!!!  The ones in the picture to the right are actuall...

Oh, no....Pouring rain at 6:15 am....     Well, we get up at 7, and decide we'll take our time (right, my aunt is on a schedule, you can set your watch by it!).... And we hit the road at 9am as usual... We finished the first 50 miles in rain and fog, much differently from the way we started them....
