Reduce Wattering During the Dry Months

Florida winters bring cooler, more pleasant temperatures. We can turn off our air conditioners, open the windows and brag to our friends and family members up North about our tempature climate.
What Florida winters fail to bring, however, is abundant rainfall. Native vegetation can survive on the few inches of rain that falls between now and May or June. Other plants may need some supplemental watering.
But as the wether gets cooler, plants need less water. Florida lawns only need water once ever 10 to 14 days in the fall and winter. Just because it's no longer the lush green color we're accustomed to in the spring and summer doesn't mean the grass isn't healthy. Your lawn and landscaping will survive these dry spells with proper irrigation and care. more info...

Plenty of Programs for First Timers, Cash Poor

With the cooling of the housing market, first-time buyers need to be assertive in elbowing their way up front of the home-buying line -- now. The cooling, or normalizing, doesn't mean the market is tanking. It means just what it says -- it's going to be more normal. Housing will continue to appreciate, sellers will continue to sell and buyers will continue to buy. The question is whether buyers will take advantage of this leveling off and get a good deal while the sellers are forced to give up a few things. read more

Look How Technology is These Days

A fellow blogger John Mudd posted something today on his blog that I thought was wonderful! Buyers can now download our listings right onto their cell phones! No more pulling up to a house with an empty flyer box and calling the agent and not getting a response, because REAffinity, a real estate technology company, has launched a service that allows prospective home buyers to download information about for-sale homes to Internet-enabled cell phones and other handheld devices.
"Pictures of the interior of the home as well as basic listing information will provide home buyers with as much context as possible while sitting in front of a house," the company announced. "By making the listing process free to home sellers, we're able to provide this service free to the home buyer. "Home buyers can access the company's listings at http://mobile.reaffinity.com. (Phone carriers' airtime charges may apply).
Inman news says that home sellers and real estate agents can enter free property listing information at the company's Web site, and this information is formatted for viewing on cell phone and other PDAs.
Thanks to this great tip....I, as well am adding all of my listings to the site!

Give Your Home Heating System the Professional Once Over

Realty Times - Malfunctioning home heating systems increase the risk of carbon-monoxide (CO) poisoning and cause some 6,000 fires costing $47 million in property damage each year, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Experts advise that you hire a licensed professional to give your home heating and cooling systems the once over at least once a year.
When properly maintained, home heating systems are not only safer, but work more efficiently to help offset the rising costs of fuel. Clean, efficient systems also last longer.
There are certain tasks you can and should perform including changing or cleaning your filter as often as recommended in your heater's manual. Also keep heat registers and radiators free of dust, dirt and debris.
Older systems may also require blower-motor or water-pump lubrication. And you should replace batteries in related devices including digital thermostats, CO alarms and smoke alarms.
More than worth the cost, a professional inspection goes a lot further.

County Officials Sign Off On Shell Point Rezonings

TBO.com - County planning and growth management staff members have signed off on three controversial rezonings on Shell Point Road that will go before the zoning hearing master Tuesday night.
The rezonings are to allow construction of 427 residential units and to allow a land swap between the developer, Manatee Bay Associates, and the county. The developer will give 70 acres for a nature preserve in exchange for 13 acres of waterfront property near the development's marina.
The rezonings are "consistent and compatible with the area's residential development pattern," said Teresa Montalvo, case reviewer of the rezoning applications. She also said that although the area south of Shell Point Road, where up to 360 housing units are planned, is not subject to the Ruskin Community Plan, the developer has tried to comply with the intent of the plan.

Switch From House to Fuel Condo Boom

RIS Media - RISMEDIA, Jan. 16 — (KRT) — Tired of that long commute? Want to spend more time with family and friends? You could be living in a condominium soon.
The chances are 50/50 that you'll trade your single-family home for a condo in the coming years, a major Palm Beach County, Florida developer told the International Builders Show.
"Today's generation of workers are focused on family and social activities," said Jerry Starkey, president of WCI Communities, based in Bonita Springs. "In suburban communities, it's not uncommon to spend 1-1/2 hours each way commuting to work. That's destroying the quality of life."
To get out of that long commute, people are moving back to urban areas, Starkey said. Another multifamily expert agreed.

Buyer/Realtor Education 101

Here is something that happened to one of my agents:
Ok….this will irritate some fellow realtor’s on how some home buyer’s still perceive us, but I felt a need to share this story with you!
So this “gentleman” (I use that term loosely) calls me and proceeds to ask about a property I have listed. He tells me another Realtor in the same County I work in referred him to me since I was the listing agent. Ok, so I am thinking this is odd….why would another realtor pass along a potential buyer and take the chance of losing them? Well, I was soon to find out why!
So I tell him about the house and answer his questions, then proceed to ask (like I always do) if he was currently working with a realtor, and he proceeds to tell me “No, I’m not working with any one particular realtor, I work with a lot of realtors”. And he explains to me that whatever agent has the home for sale with his/her name on the sign is who he is going to call.
He told me he has been searching for a home since July of last year…..well gee I wonder why!
I explained to him that a realtor will be as loyal to him as he is to them. I explained to him that we earn a commission. We do not have a salary paycheck, or an expense for a car or any of those other luxuries. We work on commission only. So, if a Realtor doesn’t feel like you are going to be loyal to them, we are not going to waste very much time and effort in you since we are not confident it will result in a sale. So he then proceeds to tell me the following…..
“Well, the way I see it is Realtors sell homes for PLAY MONEY”. And when I have to bust my behind to earn a penny, I’m not wasting it on a Realtor.
SO…..by this point, I am quite irritated and told him, well you know the reason you probably are still looking for a house 6 months later is because no one wants to waste time and energy on someone that isn’t loyal to them and isn’t going to result in a sale. I do not do this for play money, this is my career! This is how I put food on the table and pay bills! So, by this time he is still going on and on about how he won’t be loyal to just one person. So, I tell him Good Luck with your house hunting process and hung up on him while he was still running away at the mouth!
So after I hung up, I'm thinking to myself. Why is it that alot of the buyer's out there still think we do this just for the heck of it? This is not a hobby! We don't wake up in the morning wondering, gee...what should I do today? Go play golf, go ride around on my yacht? Or, go sell Real Estate today! We live in the real world right along with you. The majority of us do not live in mansions or own a yacht. The majority of Realtors live in the same neighborhoods that you do. We go to work to earn a paycheck everyday the same as you do. Sometimes working for free if a deal falls apart. Because if a deal does not close.....WE DO NOT GET PAID! People....WAKE UP! This is our career. This isn't a flip of a coin to see what sounds better to do for the day. If we don't sell.....we don't get a paycheck! Plain and simple.
SO….potential home buyers…let this be a word to the wise…. While the one’s that choose not to be loyal to one particular Realtor will spend much more time, effort and gas (for the car and all that driving around you are going to do looking for a home), there are the one’s that are loyal who can sit in the comfort of their home’s and all the available homes that fit their criteria land in their email FREE OF CHARGE the same day they hit the MLS! No time, effort or wasted gas on their part to get them this way!! Just the willingness to be loyal to one Realtor.
After all……if I find out about a home that comes on the market…..who do you think will be the one I will contact to let them know about it first?
And some buyer’s wonder why they just can’t seem to get a heads up before anyone else does!
It doesn’t cost you anything to use one Realtor…..but it may cost you a lot if you use several! It will probably cost you the lose of numerous homes, and the chance to get a hold of those “Hot New Listings” we love to give our loyal buyers!
So.....do you see now, why he is still looking for a home 6 months later?

About Riverview Florida


Are you thinking of moving to or relocating from out of state to Riverview and are interested in the Community itself and what it has to offer? Well, let me help you out and provide you some helpful information about Riverview.
Riverview is a small community, centrally located in the heart of Florida. We are just southeast of Tampa and north of Sun City Center. And we are just a short commute to the big cities, but far enough away to keep our wonderful small town atmosphere.
The beautiful Alafia River runs quietly through our town and empties into Hillsborough Bay and Tampa Bay. Many of our residents enjoy all the activities a river can provide...boating, fishing, skiing, canoeing, jetskiing and sunbathing at the Riverview Civic Center. There are beautiful waterfront homes located along the Alafia River.
The southern part of Riverview is an up and coming beautiful area with new developments being added to make room for people looking to relocate here. This area is still one of the last affordable places to move to, yet still not have a long commute to Tampa, St.Petersburg or Bradenton. The communities that are currently here include: Summerfield, South Cove, South Fork, Panther Trace, Summer Springs, South Pointe, River Crest, River Walk, River Watch, River Woods and many more that are still in the building process.
If you've read anything at all Riverview, you probably know that Summerfield Crossings and Riverview in general is one of the faster growing areas in all of Hillsborough County. With an estimated 7000 additional homes slated to be built in the area, this community is rich with residential, family and social opportunities.
The second Summerfield Elementary School will soon be built. The new school will sit behind the Summerfield Crossings Community Center on 15 acres of land located on Fairway Meadow Drive. Plans are for the new school to open in August 2006.
This area has recently had the much awaited arrival of the Publix shopping plaza which opened in the Fall of 2005. Some of the stores in this plaza include: Publix, Hollywood Video, The UPS store, Dry Cleaners, Nail Salon, Urgent Care Clinic, Papa John' Pizza, Subway and more!
Along with the opening of Publix, 2 new banks have also recently opened in the area. Bank of America and Wachovia Bank.
As a Realtor living in the Summerfield Community in Riverview, I can say that I truly enjoy living here! It's a beautiful quiet community close to everything, yet far enough away from the loud noise and hussle and bussle of a large metropolitan city. Summerfield itself has a lot to offer. This is a Golf Course community that offers Single Family Homes, Townhomes and Villa's. This community also has a section established for 55 and over. You can visit my page of Virtual Tours here and see what Summerfield has to offer. This is something we have just started and will be adding more Communities to the page and hope to have a virtual tour for most of the large communities that are in Riverview soon.
If you are interested in learning more about Riverview, Riverview Real Estate, Riverview Homes for Sale or any other questions, please feel free to contact me as I'd be happy to assist you! If you own a home in Riverview and are interested in knowing the value of it. Feel free to contact me for a FREE Home Evaluation.
Some of the above information was collected from the Riverview Chamber of Commerce and SummerfieldCrossings.com. I hope you found this information to be helpful.

Those who rent, beware

This sounds very familiar. An agent in my office had a rental listing that
she advertised on Craig's List. She received a response from someone
purportedly relocating here from England. They sent her a check with
instructions to notify them once she had deposited it. (It was for several
thousand dollars more than the first month's rent.) She thought the check
looked funny and never deposited it and didn't hear anything else.
A few weeks later, she got an email message from a "medical student in
England transferring to the US." This exchange got a little more involved
up to the point that the person provided the agent with instructions as to
what to do with the extra funds. She was to deposit the check, then
*immediately* transfer the excess funds to his travel agent ... in Nigeria.
He even provided several locations near our office where she could go to do
the transfer. It was at this point that she told me what was going on.
I immediately recognized an "advance fee fraud" scam (there's a Fraud Alert
about this on the FBI web site:
http://www.fbi.gov/filelink.html?file=/majcases/fraud/fraud_alert.pdf). I
advised her to contact the FBI, which she did. They're so inundated with
these reports that they just told her to destroy the checks and forget about
the whole thing - they didn't even want the checks as evidence!
In their Fraud Alert, the FBI specifically cites Canada, England & Nigeria
as red flags where transferring of funds is involved.
