  Now before you start throwing out the kids or in-laws, let me explain. If you're trying to sell your Jacksonville home and you're preparing for a showing, you might want to consider getting rid of your pets. Not permanently, just during the showing. Pets can be very distracting to the buyer when they are viewing your home. Let me give you some examples: 1. I had a listing where the homeowners had 2 dogs, both were boxers. One was just a pup, the other one was pretty old. The pup was put into a cage, but the older one didn't do well in cages. Normally, there was someone there to take them out for a walk so the buyer could take a look around, but a few times they weren't there. Boxers are usually pretty good size and I have to admit, I've mistaken them for pit-bulls. In one case an agen... 01/21/2008

Does Transportation Indicate Jacksonville Real Estate Opportunities? Traffic in the United States is a growing predicament that some states have managed to tackle better than others.  New York is arguably the best example of a city that has managed to create truly capable citywide methods of transportation in comparison to other states like Florida where taking a bus simply isn’t a feasible alternative to driving the congested highways.  Jacksonville city officials are looking forward to rectifying this situation by investing more than $143 million dollars in a plan that will see the creation of a computerized traffic center and new bus and train stations. This lack of bus and train stations is largely what has been ailing and clogging the Jacksonville roadways and the ones across the ... 01/18/2008

Thinking of selling? Here are some time tested tips to get you started. Outside: 1. Clean or paint your front door. Simple, but makes a huge impact when a buyer is walking up to enter your home. If it's faded, or shows signs of needing repair, clean it, stain it, or paint it. While you're on a roll, do the same with the back door and garage door. 2. Make sure your front lawn looks neat and tidy to make the first impression favorable. Cut the grass and trim the hedges and shrubs. **EXTRA** If you have a dog, make sure you clean up their land mines, nothing worse than stepping on one of those during a showing. 3. Check your roof for shingles or flashing that needs replacing. Here in Florida. we get algaeand every few years needs to be cleaned off the roof or  it will make your roof look o... 01/16/2008

I found out something really interesting the other day. I holding an open house for Adams Homes on the Westside of Jacksonville last week when a couple wallked in looking for a new home. I asked if they were working with a Realtor already and the wife's comments were "no Realtor will be involved. I think some people may be aware of this but not all, people who work for builders are Real Estate Sales Associates, which what we all went to school for but being a Realtor sets us apart because of our membership and the right to advertise REALTOR on in the operation of our business. We are just held to a higher standard. I am thankful for this opportunity.   01/14/2008

Having just come back from the local new shopping center (St. John's Town Center, Jacksonville, FL), I have to share my thoughts with you. The holiday season is about giving, and being nice and thoughtful to each other, not about snagging the premier parking spot, or five seats at the bar when you are the only one there.Please allow the time to get to the shopping center, and take a deep breath when someone cuts you off, or gets "your" spot - we are all really trying to accomplish the same thing: peace and happiness.It's the holidays - let's be nice to each other!Happy Holidays to all! 12/20/2007

  Are you a renter, wanting to fire your landlord for good? Or a seller wanting to sell and perhaps, move up or down size? I bet, you've been listening to the media and you wonder if this is a good time to buy or should you just wait? No one has a crystal that will tell us what the future holds for real estate, so let's just take a look at how things are right now:  1. The rates are good, as long as you qualify. 2. Home prices are coming down. 3. Due to the higher inventory levels, you have more choices. 4. Due to the mortgage crisis, lenders have tighten their credit guidelines. A buyer who qualified for a mortgage two years ago or even a year ago, may not qualify now. Have the prices hit bottom yet? I don't think so. Should you wait to buy until they do? That depends on you and your ... 12/17/2007

  You've seen the ads...."Credit repair 100% guarantee" "We can remove charge offs, bankruptcies, foreclosure" The list goes on and on. If you are credit challenged and you want to buy a car or a house, you may wonder if those companies are for real.  They are real and they want to take your hard earned money. Don't get me wrong, there are legit credit repair companies that can help you, but if they tell you they can remove a bankruptcy when in fact that bankruptcy is completely accurate on your credit report, they are lying. Here is an excerpt from The Federal Trade Commission's website in regard to credit repair companies: "No one can legally remove accurate and timely negative information from a credit report. The law allows you to ask for an investigation of information in your file... 12/17/2007

Well, do I have a place for you! It's called Chamblin Bookmine and it is my absolutely favorite book store. I love any book store really, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble and the list goes on, but the difference with Chamblin's is, not only do they carry new books, they sell tons & tons of used books as well as hard to find. I just went there last week and I purchased a book that looked brand new. If purchased new, I would have paid $19.95, but I only paid $9.95! Now, that's a sweet deal.   If you would like to take a visit their address is: 4551 Roosevelt Blvd Jacksonville, FL 32210. Oh! I almost forgot, they also sell audio books and videos too! Happy book hunting!                     12/11/2007
