Follow through is an important aspect of being a Realtor. For example, if we make appointments to view properties, it's important to show up. If anything comes up preventing the showing, call (don't e-mail) the listing office. The phone, even if you leave a message, is the surest, quickest way to...

Once again, I'm reminding those of you with vacant listings to visit them and be certain they are ready for the freeze we're about to experience in the south.

Soon the Burpee seed catalogues will arrive in my mailbox. Each year I read through those catalogues, remembering the days when I planted gardens and enjoyed home grown produce. Now, I'm living in a condo with only container plants. Maybe this year I'll try a different kind of garden. First I YAM...

With temperatures nosediving in Florida, and around the country, don't forget to check on your vacant listings. A week or so ago, we were in the 80s here, and tonight we're expecting a low of 23. If listings are vacant, they may still be set on "cooling." I entered one vacant listing today, and i...
