Realtor Puts Money Where Mouth Is!

March 18, 2010

Posted by in News, Rentals

So I was talking to a few Davidson Realtors the other day. They were telling me about how investors are starting to come back into the market. Of course, I asked why they thought this was happening. One of them explained that it is a combination of things. Obviously the prices of homes right now are ridiculously good. And the interest rates are good too. But I wasn’t aware that the number of rental properties is way down, but the demand is way up. (This must be why Davidson Property Management is currently looking for houses to rent!) If an investor has the ability to buy St. Augustine, FL homes right now, they may get a great home at a great price and potentially rent it out for a profit! I told them I wanted to write a blog on this and they told me to talk to one of Davidson’s other Realtors because he had a great case study for this.

The agent told me a story that I just love! He showed a home, originally purchased for $370,000, which was listed for $240,000. (I’m not kidding about there being incredible values out there right now!) The potential buyer said she couldn’t go higher than $204,000. The Realtor made the offer and the seller accepted. However, the buyer changed her mind. The Realtor explained to the buyer that this was an amazing opportunity and if she didn’t want to take advantage of it – he did! She still declined to sign the offer, so the Realtor made the same offer and it was accepted.

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
