Please help conserve water and spread the word! Highlands County is still under drought conditions despite the recent nice and needed rains. Water levels in our lakes are still well below normal. This is the sad view on Lake Olivia in Avon Park. Half of it is dried out.

If you read my last article about "Staycationing in Sebring" you probably wonder if swimming and tanning on the beaches of Lake Jackson is the only fun Highlands County has to offer. Not by far! We are one of the many lucky families that get to staycation in Sebring this summer. The $5,000 a week horseback riding camp just wasn't in our budget. Thanks to Granny living in Frostproof, our daughter got to spend time with 7 cute puppies, baked cookies, watched silly sitcoms from the 50's with Grampa and Grampa got to eat more ice cream because you gotta have ice cream around with an 11 year old visiting.  Heartland Horses & Handicapped offers weekly horseback riding sessions for a donation of $5. All proceeds support Heartland Horses & Handicapped's free riding program for children and adul...

A While ago my wifeposted about the arrival of the new Wal-Mart to Avon Park. She commented about how it is going to have an effect on our community. I agree that just the presence of a Wal-Mart in any community will have an effect on property prices. We always see the same businesses buying up property as close to Wal-Mart as possible. Many people I have talked to have also applied for employment with the big retailer. This Wal-Mart in particular has been dubbed as "The Wal-Mart that never opened" by my lovely wife. She says we will all see it on 60 minutes some day. As far back as three years ago, I remember my customers from my previous business commenting about their plans for employment or home sales or buying property when the mega mart opens. I can remember as many as three headl...

As a former business owner in Highlands, Polk and Okeechobee Counties, I serviced over 300 businesses and a thousand customers in the four years I was in business. Visiting these businesses week in and week out, I developed many relationships with many different people. I hope to be able to cultivate these relationships and the trust that I built with my customers for quality service to continue to advance my career in this area. I became a Realtor for many reasons, second only to being able to spend more time building a future with my loving wife Andrea, I really enjoy working with people and solving problems. I always prided myself on being able to find and deliver the products for my customers that my competition could or would not. Andrea concentrates her efforts in the residential ...

I recently "inherited" a listing from an agent that is no longer with my company. There were 4 weeks left on the listing agreement. After doing some research in the area I deemed it overpriced by at least $40,000. I contacted the sellers to arrange a meeting with them - to get to know each other and to discuss my marketing strategy, which included a price adjustment. They told me they were not going to renew the listing because they felt it wasn't the right time to sell. Later on they canceled the meeting with me and didn't return any phone calls to them thereafter. Because I really like the property (located on a golf course), I put my marketing strategy in print and dropped it off at their home (the listing itself is vacant). I believe I gave this listing my best shot, considering the...

I work FSBO's in my market and if i don't catch them at home, I leave them a letter explaining what I do etc. If I can, I leave my letter stuck in a coffee mug filled with candy and two pens. Note to self: check on prices for new pens and mugs!I got a call from an elderly couple last week. They had received my letter and the wife asked me to come over for a talk. I do not like being a salesperson but I like being a consultant. That's my mindset when I approach sellers. I will not talk them into something. I will listen and figure out what they want and if I believe I can get them what they want, I tell them.I didn't show up with a filled out listing agreement, I didn't even have my beloved black leather binder with me (I can's sleep if I don't have this thing within arm's reach). I spen...
