Cleveland, OH

I have been reading various websites which states the House of Representatives voted today 403-12 to expand the federal housing tax credit and it "MAY" be signed by the President this Friday.

Here is link one of the many articles on it.

I hope some CPAs and Tax Attorneys jump in here in addition to real estate professionals.

Keller Williams Realty Greater Cleveland To Open Downtown Office

Keller Williams Realty Greater Cleveland plans to increase their market presence by opening up in downtown Cleveland. Plans call for Keller Williams Realty Greater Cleveland to open before the end of the year, possibly as early as December 1, 2009.

The new office, located in the historic Warehouse District in the Cloak Factory building at 635 W. Lakeside Ave, will open with over $30,000,000 in inventory and 17 agents, many of whom are some of the areas top producers. The office interior will have a look consistent to many historic offices in downtown Cleveland complete with hardwood floors and exposed beams.

While most local real estate agents don't service the downtown area, deciding to focus on the surrounding suburbs instead, the agents in this new office will be highly experienced with urban dwellings and be able to help consumers who are looking to buy and sell within the city of Cleveland in addition to outside of the area. The downtown Cleveland residential real estate market has relatively few agents and Keller Williams Realty Greater Cleveland is positioned to greatly increase their market share here.

While Keller Williams Realty International has over 80,000 agents and is the third largest real estate franchise operation in the nation, they have only been in the Cleveland area market for 7 years. However, during this time, they have grown from 9 agents in one office, to approximately 500 agents in 5 offices. In addition to the downtown office, 5 additional offices are planned in the near future.

Okay...hype was high last year for The Cleveland Cavaliers to win the NBA Championship. We won't go into details as any Cleveland Cavaliers basketball fan is painfully aware of how last season ended. Just one 3-point by Delonte could have tipped the scales to have gotten us to the finals, along with several other unfortunate twists of fate. I know...I know...shoulda...coulda...woulda. If we only had: _____________ and we would have won. Personally, I think we would have been sledgehammered by the LA Lakers, but that is pure speculation and irrelevant.

So...what's a Cav's fan to do? We could punt and hope Josh Cribbs returns it -- okay, we won't talk about the pitiful Browns this year, but next year's draft is starting to shape up nicely if you know what I mean.

Anyway, King James contract only has one more season, so if the Cavs don't win a championship this year, rumors are running wild that King James will bolt to greener pastures. I'm not sure how much greener it could get for him when he has a local and loyal fan base beyond compare of any major city, he has more dollars than he will ever know how to manage, and he has a smart organization dedicated to bringing the trophy back to Cleveland.

So...with the addition of THE SHAQ this year and he stays health, and if Delonte's weapon charges and bi-polar disorder don't interfere with the season, and Mo doesn't cave under the post-season pressure, and JJ lives up to the huge promise we know he can deliver, and Andy doesn't get knocked down one too many times in the lane and can't get back up, and Z-man's ankles and feet hold up, and the Boopster (aka. Daniel Gibson -- who by the way...my son attended his basketball camp two years ago (when he was 7) and his shoe was untied and Boobie Gibson was standing in front of him and my son asked him if he would tie his shoes, and he did. My daughter, who is in love with Boobie because of his incredible smile that would make Tom Cruise jealous and his handsome good looks, about fainted when he told her that Boobie tied his shoes.

If everyone can gel this year, and become a cohesive unit, I think we have a shot at the championship.

If not, well...if you are familiar with Greater Cleveland Professionals Sports, you know how to take defeat -- it's a concept we are way too familiar with.

The UrbanOhio.com website has an excellent relocation guide post, appropriately titled: Cleveland Relocation Guide. While it is primarily more relevant for the city center, it does showcase some other amenities in Greater Cleveland.

While there is much more to Greater Cleveland than what is contained in this post, this post does a good job of allowing someone who is thinking of relocating to Cleveland Ohio an opportunity to get a sense or feel for our fine area.

Enjoy.
