Treasure Island Short Sales | bought it is an investment but now it is just a money pit? In 2006 the real estate market started to lose its momentum here in Treasure Island Florida. Many people did not see it and it wasn’t until the end 2007 that the word got out. People who bought their Treasure Island property in 06 and 07 paid top dollar for it. If you are one of them, chances are that you’re upside down on the value, meaning to own more than the home or condo here in Treasure Island will sell for right now.

Treasure Island Short Sales | What will my neighbor think? “I have lived in Treasure Island for over 20 years and I know a lot of people and I am worried what my friends and neighbors might think if my home here in Treasure Island goes up for a Short Sale”  We hear things like that a lot when homeowners call us to inquiry about listing their property as a Short sale. We do understand the situation and we do understand the concerns but to be very blunt, your neighbors do not have to pay your mortgage, you do, they did not lose their job, you did and on it goes. In a Short Sale situation you have to think about yourself, your family and your future first, not your neighbors and friends.  You have a bunch of good reasons why you need to do a Short Sale and these reasons most likely are not... 02/09/2012

Why I love to live in Treasure Island Florida. The Tampabay area is just wonderful, I live in Treasure Island, used to live in Saint Pete Beach and my office is in Madeira beach just down the street from Redington and Indian Rocks.  It doesn’t matter in which one of these beach communities you live, they are all wonderful. We all get a beautiful sunrise every morning and we have the most spectacular sunsets every night.  The “South Beaches” of Pinellas and that is everything south of the Clearwater bridge to the Skyway bridge consist of little beach towns. I will list them from the north to the south. There is Belleair Beach and Belleair Shores followed by Indian Rocks beach and Indian Shores. South of that we have Redington Shores, North Redington Beach and Redington beach. Next is Mad... 12/19/2011

Treasure Island | Dinner at the Perl. What a treat.  It is this time of the year again where we have our annual office diner party .We try to go to a different place every year but I have the feeling that this has stopped as of last night. We had a fantastic time at the Perl here in Treasure Island. I just love everything about this place.  First of all, you can't beat the location, right in downtown Treasure Island next to a cigar bar and a dance bar (for the after dinner things) The Perl  has a really welcoming and  cozy atmosphere and you can feel this the moment you walk in. It is as if Karim ( the owner | chef) and his wonderful staff, invite you into their living room and you instantly feel at home and well taken care of.   Talking about the Staff, everybody at the Perl is very kn... 12/18/2011

 Lands End in Treasure Island Florida hat tolle Ferien Strandwohnung zu verkaufen. Wir haben gerade ueber Lands End in Treasure Island Florida berichtet. Dazu wollten wir gerne noch etwas hinzufuegen, da diese Fragen immer wieder auftauchen und nicht nur von Gutachtern. Wir moechten aber diese Fragen zum Anlass nehmen. Einige dieser Fragen waren: Wie viele Wohnungen sind vom Eigentuemer bewohnt, wie viele sind vermietet, wie viele von diesen Florida Wohnungen sind Zweitwohnsitze. Was wir dazu sagen koennen ist, dass Lands End Eigentumswohnungen sind, keine Hotel Wohnungen. Man kann diese Wohnungen vermieten mit einem minimum von 7 Tagen pro Vermietung. Es gibt keine Einschraenkungen fuer die Eigentuemer, dass man vermieten muss, oder wie lange man als Eigentuemer dort pro Jahr wohnen ka... 10/06/2011

Do I have to pay the property taxes for my new home in Treasure Island St. Petersburg at closing?No, here in Tampabay Pinellas county property taxes are paid in arears.     You will actually get money back at closing, it is a credit from the seller to the buyer for his unpaid portion of the yearly property taxes.     You will only have to pay something if the seller for whatever strange reason has already paid the taxes till the end of the year ( he gets his bill in November)     Now if he has already "prepaid" the taxes you would owe him for a month or two. If you have more real estate questions concerning buying or selling here in St. Petersburg, go to our local real estate website. 10/06/2011
