Since using "del.icio.us" I have collected links to the majority of real estate news headlines in the Gainesville Sun for April, 2008. For daily doses, check out my Squidoo page.
I spend part of each day reading the real estate section of several websites and recently discovered the social linking network, "del.icio.us". So, for a few weeks I have been adding links each day as I surf my usual news sites. Today, I am sharing my del.icio.us with you! Since I'm reading these sites anyway, at least I can save you the time of surfing around.
You'll notice that there are many tags on the right side to explore. One in particular that i added is the "vendors" tag group. If you would like me to add a link to your website, then just let me know with an email or comment.
I've also created a Squidoo page, which basically mirrors my del.icio.us page. I did it mostly out of curiosity, but maybe someone has a preference. My Squidoo page has a lot more ads with it, including some Ebay properties in Gainesville and random real estate related books selected by Amazon.com.
I just wanted to bring to your attention that Gainesville was featured in a USAToday article on April 1st. it's not every day that Gainesville makes the national news (although it's not exactly a secret anymore either). It just so happens that we're featured on April Fool's Day, but I'm sure it's not a joke.
I can't help question the headline though, "Housing Market Stable In Gainesville, Fla." Stable apparently means: "sales of existing homes have slipped lately", "agents are starting to receive more offers", "sections of the metro area saw double-digit price increases". But I suppose Gville really is stable when compared to places like Las Vegas or Phoenix.
This past weekend I was attracted to the annual Spring Promenade, which is a fundraiser for the Thomas Center gardens in Gainesville. The center sold tickets to tour six historic houses in the Duck Pond area. After seeing the first home and walking around at a snail's pace due to the crowd, I decided that it would be more fun to simply photograph some of my personal favorites in the neighborhood instead. Here are a few photos from my stroll:
How close can you guess: where in Alachua County is this property?
I have driven by this property a hundred times and thought to myself, "I wish I had my camera!" HINT: it is not on the side of some hidden dirt road. I was also amazed to discover that someone actually lives here. Just as well, it probably would have disintegrated if left vacant. I'd love to see a professional photographer get up close and take some black and white shots. This house seems very floridian, to me. I added a couple more pics of the opposite side of the road.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
My wife and I recently sold our home to Bullfrog Properties. We had the pleasure of dealing with Jeremy Butts throughout the transaction.
We found him to be professional, courteous and straightforward in all his dealings with us. All points negotiated with Mr. Butts were handled by him in timely manner, and he always kept us "in the loop" of information regarding financing, paperwork, etc.
We had called several other companies that advertise to "buy any home" and were frankly quite displeased when the promised phone calls were not returned. This made all the more impression when Mr. Butts called back promptly and went right to work on our deal. In the end, our home was resold by Bullfrog properties in about eight weeks, (and we received another payment) for our full price.
I recommend without hesitation doing business with Jeremy and Bullfrog Properties. He helped to make what can easily be daunting and difficult decision making progress much easier on us. We wish him and his company all the best of luck in the future.
Sincerely,
Jon U. Anderson

In real estate dealing with foreclosures can be a nightmare. Bullfrog Properties made the process very workable. Their diligence to continue to work on the process to get to closing was admirable. I appreciated all the effort Jeremy, with Bullfrog Properties, Inc. (did to) get the Seller as much money as possible from the sale. I would recommend Bullfrog properties, Inc. and look forward to another opportunity to work with Jeremy.
Sincerely,
Leslie Morgan, Pro Realty of Gainesville, Inc.
Thanks Bullfrog Properties!
To Whom it may concern,
When we were listed for over 5 months with a Realtor, we didn't have any luck. Bullfrog (Properties) came thru. Within a week we had a contract (and) within 30 days we closed. I would recommend them for anyone who needs to sell their home in a hurry to call them.
Thanks again,
Jimmie L. Hagan, 235 SW 5th Ave., High Springs FL 32643
