A home in South Florida will sell if priced right and with the right energy behind it!       The owner had his house listed for almost a year with no offers, noshowings. His agent had told him what to price the house at. Well, it just sat and sat and sat! When it expired, we sent him our expired listing package. He loved it and called us. Nestor got the listing right over the phone. Of course we like to get to know our clients and get a feel for the house for our marketing plan so Nestor met him at the property to get a good look over. I wrote up a very compelling MLS public remarks section.   Nestor told him what he was going to need to price the house at which was less than what the seller originally paid for the house. Such is reality at this time. He was willing to accept reality. W... 08/01/2007

  Start your week and day out by writing down this affirmation and saying it daily: “The past is over and done. I release it now, with love. I am grateful for every person, place and experience in my life. I welcome the new.” To make room for the new we must let go of the old. That means everything about your life. If you want a new attitude you must dump the old attitude. If you want new things to come into your life you must clear out the cobwebs, the junk, the things you have not used, the clothes you have not worn in over a year and clutter that is collecting dust. Clutter is an energy drainer.   Ask yourself, “Do I really need it? Do I really love it?  How does this thing make my life better? How does this serve me?” Release what is not serving you.    Here is a quote from Esther ... 07/29/2007

 Look at those Coconuts! We have never seen so many coconuts on a tree before! This is our Coconut Tree that we planted 3 years ago in Wellington Florida in our front yard. So I realized that I don't even know when to pick the coconuts. When are they ready? I have been eating Young Asian Coconuts for a couple of years now. They are soft and the milk is very sweet and contains mega nutrients. I open it up, put all the milk in a blender, scoop out the soft meat and then I blend it all together. This is quite a refreshing drink and gives me a huge boost of energy. Coconut oil is rich in Lauric Acid which is known for its anti viral, anti- fungal and antibacterial properties. It also helps in losing weight which is hard for many people to believe since coconuts are high in fat. But it is a ... 07/25/2007

 I wrote a post last week about little things we can do to help live a greener and healthier lifestyle. I promised to post the recipes we use for cleaning in our home. Here are some of the recipes that we use for healthy and natural cleaning solutions. These are very inexpensive, will save you money, not harmful to children, pets or the earth and help to reduce the toxins that are being released into the atmosphere.   Don’t be fooled by all the commercials you see on TV that the cleaners are safe! If you can not drink it, it is not safe. The best disinfectant is white Vinegar. It is 5% acid and is very effective in killing bacteria.    One of the biggest problems we are facing today in our environment is the over use of germicides and anti- bacteria products. Do not use anti- bacteria ... 07/25/2007

Our local paper here in Wellington, Florida just printed an article about how they are now losing money because Real Estate Agents and Builders are not placing ads like they used to. And they are wondering why? Aaaah, like Duh! Here are just some of the reasons: How about the bad media coverage about how 'bad' the market is, how the prices are going to keep dropping and how buyers should not buy right now! How is that helping the market and why should I pay for ads when they are printing this doom and gloom? It is like shooting myself in my foot to spend money on a medium that is defeating the whole purpose of my ads! How about the fact that over 50% of the people in our area are no longer reading the newspaper and are getting their news online? Why should I spend good money on ads in m... 07/20/2007
