Speechless Sunday: Jaxson Deville   I lived in Fernandina Beach when Jacksonville was chosen to be home to one of the new NFL franchises, the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a picture of the mascot Jaxson Deville:                       I'm not sure who the other jaguar in the picture is.  I've been a loyal fan even when they had a terrible record.   08/10/2014

Nellie’s memory lives on at Marineland: Aquatic Park worth a visit A story in the St. Augustine Record appeared recently about the passing of Nellie, the longest-lived dolphin in human care. Her caretakers at Marineland Dolphin Adventure, an aquatic attraction located south of St. Augustine, said the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin was born Feb. 27, 1953 at Marineland. Nellie jumped through hoops and interacted with trainers at Marineland’s dolphin shows. During her lifetime, she gave birth to three calves: in June of 1967, June of 1978 and Jan. of 1984. “Nellie will be missed by many,” said the movers Jacksonville, Fl. “(Nellie) fostered a love of the ocean and promoted marine conservation to thousands throughout her lifetime,” the marine park said on its Facebook page, adding that her mem... 07/18/2014

Tim Tebow Buys New Home in Jacksonville, Florida Don't get excited Jaguar slash Florida Gators fans, Tim Tebow buying a home in Jacksonville probably has more to do with locating his residence back to his hometown than where he may land another NFL quarterback position. By the way, I'm taking this opportunity to share with the ActiveRain community my son's undying love for Tim Tebow. He has still hasn't gotten over Denver trading him away to the Jets. Sorry Tatem! Tim Tebow did in fact buy a new 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home in Jacksonville, Florida though. Tebow's new crib has over 6,500 square feet of living space, and overlooks the Glen Kernan Golf and Country Club, and cost him $1.4 million dollars. Not bad for a failed NFL prospect! I'm sure he won't have much time to enjoy the new ... 07/18/2014

  You may have heard a few little comments here and there about the upcoming improvements to Everbank Field, home to the Jacksonville Jaguars. I managed a sneak peek the other night, while at an event to kickoff the Everbank promotion offering a lucky homebuyer the chance to fly to London, England to watch an NFL game.  Of course, there were "no cameras, please" signs, but the event itself was quite nice. The event was a nice size: not too large to be a massive thing, but not so small that people were uncomfortable. The menu included: mini cottage pies, mini yorkshire puddings, mini beef wellingtons - it was fabulous! Here's a link to a recent article about the upgrades, since I was a law abiding citizen and didn't take any pictures:  http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/news/2013/0... 07/11/2014

Everyone has told you that a home inspection should be an important part of any Phyllis Frankel Realty Group transaction, and they are right! A professional home inspector is hired to thoroughly inspect a home to ensure it doesn’t have any major defects that could cause you problems down the road or could risk the health or wellbeing if your family.  A home inspector will check all major systems in the home you want to purchase, such as the heating and cooling systems, all interior plumbing, the home’s electrical system, the roof, the windows and doors, the home’s insulation, the walls, floors and ceilings and the foundation. Although a home inspector often comes with a price tag of a few hundred dollars, the money this service may save you can, and often does, exceed that amount many t... 07/03/2014

You may have heard the term “contingency” when talking to your Phyllis Frankel Realty Group agent.  Contingencies often play a big role when it comes to buying or selling a home or other type of property, and can make or break a real estate deal. Because of this, it is important to understand contingencies and how they can either help or hinder a real estate transaction. What is a contingency? A contingency when it comes to real estate is essentially anything that is included in the contract for which the sale of the property hinges on. Contingencies must be verified by both the buyer and the seller before a purchase transaction can take place. They may be written for nearly any topic that needs to be discussed further before the transaction can take place. A real estate contingency can... 07/03/2014

Fort Caroline is a suburban area of Jacksonville, FL. It's primarily thought of as older homes from the 70s and 80s, with a few new construction neighborhoods that have found space nearby. They have larger lots and are close to shopping. They are also easy communiting distance to the Naval Base or downtown. It can be frustrating when a home with so much going for it sits on the market empty and unsold. Yet this is the case for 2 recent staging projects. Let's look at the results. House #1, 12418 Ft Caroline Rd, Jacksonville, FLThis great house was a 4 bedroom, 3 bath home that was recently remodeled by a local investor. It has a large lot that overlooks the Hidden Hills Golf Course.  In this case, the house was not sitting empty, but it was actually staged by another stager. The furnitu... 06/19/2014

My customers got a great buy on a Jacksonville FL HUD home. We closed on 1119 Wycoff Ave just last week! Buyers and Realtors alike are normally a little leary of HUD homes due to the unknown but I love them and think that they are a breeze to work with. They can be quite challenging if you don't know how to properly navigate them.    Jacksonville FL HUD homes come with many advantages which include an appraisal that is already done. This is quite helpful when financing a HUD home because an appraisal could range between $350-475. The systems of the home are already tested and the results documented but you are still able to have your own home inspection done on a Jacksonville FL HUD home.                                              In addition to the great pricing on Jacksonville, FL H... 05/27/2014

As promised, I am going to discuss the Jacksonville H2H program or Headstart to Homeownership program. If you recall in my last post, I gave the information on the Florida Assist ( Florida Bond Money ) program which provides $10,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance. For more information on this program please visit my website. Now let's get back to the H2H program ( Headstart to Homeownership ).       This program is specifically for residents of Duval county, Jacksonville, FL and it provides up to $15,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance to credit eligible first time home buyers. The maximum gross income is a little less than the Florida Assist Program as you may only earn up to 80% of the Median income for Florida. For example; A family of four may not earn more ... 05/26/2014
