Dragon Point, Merritt Island, Florida was finally sold for $800,000 and the new owners plan to rebuild. The mansion deteriorated over the years and Annie, the iconic 20 ton dragon statue sculpted in 1971 by Miami “warlock” artist Lewis VanDercar, fell apart during a 2002 storm. Then the land was tied up in court for years because of ownership disputes and code enforcement violations.  The original mansion was 5700 sq. ft. with 600' of waterfront. "Annie" had a bar/lounge inside and every tourist (and even locals) took thousands of photos.  In 1982, VanDercar upgraded Annie by sculpting four dragon hatchlings alongside the concrete monster. Joy, Sunshine, Charity and Freedom. Expanding on that legend, Rojak was a fifth hatchling that Annie kept hidden underwater. We will have to see how ... 01/18/2015

I remember the day my tenant called, like it was yesterday.  She was frantic. She said she needed to talk right away.  So, I got in my car and headed right over.  'I've been afraid to tell you this because I knew you would think I am crazy!' I couldn't imagine what she had to say 'Well, she continued, 'your house is haunted.  You have ghosts here!'   I was sure that I hadn't heard her correctly.  "What?"  It was more than just a question. "Your house is haunted." She went on to say that the house had ghosts in it since December.  It started at Christmastime, with tree ornaments flying across the room.  Then, pictures would fly off the walls and across the room.  She heard voices in the back bedroom, a man, woman and a little boy named John. Her dog would walk down the hall and yelp, and... 10/29/2013

Today’s real estate market has specific challenges we didn’t have in the past. The financial crash produced many distressed properties. Banks foreclosed on homes when the mortgages were no longer being paid. Some owners have chosen to sell homes as short sales rather than losing them in foreclosure.  Credit damage is less severe if you can sell as a short sale VS. losing the home in a foreclosure.   In order to sell your home as a short sale, one of the conditions is that  the owner must have no liquid assets. If they have funds the short sale will not be approved by their lender.   Typically, a short sale has not been maintained well. If the prospective buyer applies for an FHA mortgage in order to put less money down, the buyer and the home has to qualify in order for the mortgage to ... 05/21/2012

38 Random Acts of Kindness - Balloons to Heaven !   This year, so many people that I hold dear to my heart, have taught me more than they could ever imagine, through their strength and their loved ones. So many have had to endure what no person ever should. From parents, grandparents, brothers, sister, aunts and uncles, losing a loved one, to friends who have lost their courageous fight to cancer and other illnesses.  Having lost many loved ones in my life, I know the hole and void it can leave in your heart. Although, I cannot ever imagine what some of my friends have gone through this past year, I wanted them to know that there is not a moment in the day that I don't think of them. no matter how busy life can get. That there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of the struggle... 11/26/2011

The Census Bureau has reported in the past year there has been an increase of 1.4 million households from homeownership to renting.  Some new to the rental market are owners that lost their homes to foreclosure, or sold them in a short sale (selling for less than today's market value).  With this surge of new tenants, rents are on the upswing, after several years of falling. We have seen a 5.17% annual increase in rents.  Some predictions indicate that rents will continue up in the next year. Statistics indicate that 20% to 40% of properties today are being purchased by investors.  Approximately 60% of these are considered new investors. Rental houses are a great way to create wealth over time. Tenants pay the rent, hopefully covering the principal, interest, taxes and insurance on a p... 10/31/2011

Treasure Lagoon is one of the most exclusive and elite gated communities on all of Merritt Island Florida.  It is located just miles from the Kennedy Space Center.  It is a wonderful waterfront community where the owners enjoy all types of watersports from fishing to windsurfing and even kayaking.  This neighborhood has a community boat ramp with direct access to the Intercoastal Waterway, where some of the best redfish fishing in the world can be found.  Treasure Lagoon is also just minutes from Port Canaveral and the Atlantic Ocean where Cocoa Beach is located.  Properties in Treasure Lagoon do not hit the market all that often so when one becomes available buyers should jump at the opportunity to live in one of the most desireable neighborhoods on the East Coast of Florida.

Tommy's Pizzeria has opened in Merritt Island in the same plaza that houses Exit Island & Beach Realty. The new owner of Tommy's came by our office the other day with one of his hand tossed cheese pizzas and I must tell you it was awesome! With only a handful of mom and pop pizzerias left on Merritt Island I look forward to having one so close to my work as well as my Catalina Isles subdivision neighborhood. Unfortunately the chains have taken over Merritt Island, but with the brave few non chains that are left I feel as if my pizza eating days are not over. Tony Giannotti is the owner/broker of Exit Island & Beach Realty in Merritt Island Florida. He has lived on Carrioca Ct in Catalina Isles in Merritt Island since 1999 and specializes in the area. He lists and sells many foreclosed p... 03/20/2011
