My good friend Stephanie came out this past week. We took an overnight trip to Tampa for a couple of days. On the first day we went to visit Winter the dolphin (of "A Dolphin Tale" fame) at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Winter and Hope (Winter's best buddy) were both rescued from Brevard county. Winter was tangled up in the line of a crab pot that required her to have her tail amputated. Hope was found at 2 months trying to nurse from her dead mother (poor little baby).On day 2 we went down to Gulfport and took a boat tour out to Egmont Key. The basic goal of the day was to see dolphins. We got to do just that. The clip below is from the boat tour company that took us out. It's pretty accurate as to what we saw.  All in all it was a good time, and while Tampa, Clearwater, St Petersbur...

Sun Ketch townhomes in Treasure Island Fl. As always, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but I personally like the Sun Ketch townhomes in Treasure Island Florida very much. The location is awesome, you are only a short walk away from the beach, restaurants, shopping and all kinds of other activities in Treasure Island. The Sun Ketch townhomes in Treasure Island were built in 3 phases   Sun Ketch I is the closest to Gulf Blvd and construction was finished in 1987. This phase consists of 98 townhouses. It is on the east side on 2nd Street E. and right before Rosselli park.

Home values and Real Estate market in Treasure Island Fl zip code 33706 There are a lot of statistics out there and a lot of articles in the paper of how great it is that our real estate market is showing all these good signs of recovery etc. I never paid much attention to the media when it comes to predicting the real estate market in Treasure Island.  I have been working in the Treasure Island area for many many years and my phone is the best indicator of where  the market is and what it is going to do in the near future.If it rings off the hook, we have a lot of interested buyer. If it doesn't ring, the demand is very low. That's how simply it is. Right now the phone is ringing off the hook BUT our inventory here in Treasure Island and zip code 33706 is extremely low.

Sunsets and Sunrise in Treasure Island Fl. Everybody is always talking about the pretty sunsets in Treasure Island (and I am one of them) Just love sunsets. Just take a walk on the beach or go to Caddy's Waterfront restaurant or Sloppy Joe's to have a drink and enjoy the Treasure Island sunsets. On Sundays we even have a huge Drum Circle in Treasure Island, right on the beach at Gulf Blvd and 104 Ave and it is the best sunset celebration ever. So, Sunsets it is, all these beautiful colors, all shades of  vibrant orange. Well, this morning I woke up waaaaaaaaaaaaay too early and instead of turning around an going back to sleep I decided to wait for the sunrise and enjoy it with a cup of coffee. It was awesome ! Time for me and other people to start talking about Treasure Island sunrises.

Drive a pretty car and collect commission | Realtor in Treasure Island. I love being a Realtor here in Treasure Island Fl. but sometimes I really wonder, do people really think " Driving a nice car and collecting commission is all we do? (it is pretty isn't it?) Well, I guess it is my own fault. 90% of the things I do for Real Estate my buyers and sellers don't see. They see a pretty flyer but have no idea that it took 3 hours to put it together. They see pretty pictures but don't know that it took a whole day to take the pictures, work on them, sort them out and post them. They get the condo docs but don't know that it took me 7 phone calls, 3 e mails and a not so friendly phone call to the listing agents broker to finally get them. I go open a door to show a property but my buyers do ...

Love to be a Realtor here in Treasure Island Fl. and got reminded of that yesterday. Usually our days are pretty hectic and long. Tons of e mails to answer, phone calls to make solving problems with home inspection, surreys, termite inspections, lenders, mortgage brokers, negotiating deals and renegotiating deals, hunting down condo docs and sending out applications etc. I would say in average 90% of a Realtor"s job ( and not just in Treasure Island) is solving problems and making sure things go ok so our buyers and sellers are happy and can go to closing. Well yesterday Manny came to the office around 10 am (after already working from home for 3 hours) it was a slow day, we had a lot of catching up to do but nothing that needed to be done ASAP. All of a sudden she looked at me and said...
