Come out on February 23rd to Give Blood & Save Lives!

February 18, 2010

IMG_5307I don’t think we as a community understand how important giving blood is until someone close to us needs it. Most of us are scared of needles, don’t want to take our time to do it, or have never even thought about giving blood. In reality, it really doesn’t hurt, it takes 20 minutes out of your day and we all need to be aware that giving blood saves lives.

Many of you know that my dad had a liver transplant on June 23rd, 2008, but it would not have been possible without 32 donations of blood. If the blood products are not there when the organ shows up, the transplant will not happen. Can you imagine having the qualified surgeons, nurses, recipient, and the recipient’s whole family waiting at the hospital, but not enough blood to do it? Read more

Great vision…hard knocks…tireless work…big risks…frustrating setbacks and huge wins are all part the compelling story about the development of World Golf Village. On February 25th as part of the Davidson Speaker Series, Jim Davidson, the original developer of World Golf Village, will present the amazing story of the community’s creation.  Jim recounts the ups and downs of 20 years work in developing one of the largest master-planned communities in Northeast Florida, and the development that spurred the growth and popularity of northwest St. Johns County that continues to this day. 

The Development of World Golf Village will be presented on Thursday, February 25 at 7:00 pm. The Davidson Speaker Series was started by Sherry Davidson, President, Davidson Realty, Inc. so that local professionals could share their expertise with the community.

Take Advantage of The Tax Credits Before April 30th!

Young couple planning their household expensesMy daughter just closed on her first home in January. She got a great deal on a short sale in St. Augustine. I helped her file her tax return last week and it is amazing that she will receive a check for $8,000 from the Internal Revenue Service due to the first-time homebuyer tax credit.

If you purchase a home by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010, you may qualify for one of the two available tax credits. The first-time homebuyer credit is for buyers who have not owned a home during the last 3 years. The other credit is for current homeowners who have used the home they are selling or vacating for 5 consecutive years within the last 8 years. The credit is 10% of the purchase price of the home up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and $6,500 for current homeowners.

There are only two other considerations:

1. The home you purchase must be $800,000 or less. Read more
