I had an internet request from someone named Wu Gregeory from Canada that wanted to buy one of my better listings in Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club in Venice FL and they wanted me to draft offer for them, $580,000 with $31,000 escrow close in 35 days and they wanted me to have home inspection done and added to HUD.  They emailed me the terms of the contract which seemed OK.  Mr. Gregory also wanted me to get an attorney to represent and close the transaction.  I was very skeptical but did have an open house and several people where there looking for their friends in Canada.  I Googled the name and it came up that he was a doctor so he did have the means to pay for the home (list price was $589,900).  I asked for proof of funds and he sent it to me and the bank checked out.  I still ...

Change In Attitude  Come and listen to a story of a Coach. The success was not there because he did not have a plan. He worked half hearted in every thing he did, and did not get respect not even from the kids.  So he went to England to take a sabbatical. When he came back from his journey, the change was radical. He now worked hard and put all in. The results showed too with a boat full of wins. The moral of the story if you want to win in life, is do your best in everything and you will have less strife.        Change In Attitude Kwee Huset Realty is your best source of information when it comes to  Venice, Sarasota  FL and the surrounding area.

Exercise.  I am not an athlete; I do not like to exercise. Many years ago my mother reminded me to do light exercise. I did some research, and yes my mother was right, it is recommended that most people get about 30 minutes of moderate activity a day, 5 days a week.   With a busy schedule, it is difficult to spare the time for any exercise. Later, I realized activity does not mean going to the gym. Housework, yard work even walking your dog qualifies. It increases our overall health and sense of well being, reduces anxiety and improves sleep.     Do any exercise you love and love any exercise you do. Let it be part of your healthy lifestyle.      The information is provided by Kwee Huset Realty, If you are planning a move to or from Venice and the surrounding area, I can hep.  Call, em...

Lantana is a perennial but is treated as an annual with colorful flowers that are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa.     They are easy and fast growing from seeds or cuttings, and need little attention once they are established. They are drought resistant, good for xeriscaping, hardy to cold, salt tolerant and like sun or partial shade. The hybrids are propagated by cutting.     They have rough and oval shape leaves; small flower clusters of one color like lavender (trailing or weeping lantana), yellow, white, or mixed colors of orange, pink, red and yellowish. The color may change as they mature resulting in inflorescences. They bloom year round, and are seldom attacked by pests or disease.
