Shadow Wood Country Club buyout back on track...

Reported today is a new deal for the members of Shadow Wood to purchase the Shadow Wood Club and the Commons Club. On again, off again agreement appeared to be back on at this time.

The agreement calls for the members to purchase the assets of the two clubs at a reduced price from the original agreement. Combining the purchase of the two clubs helped get the deal back on track.

In addition to the purchase price, a big sticking point in the deal is the liabilities for the members' deposits. The new deal calls for Bonita Bay to keep the liabilities but to also collect new member joining fees to help offset the liability.

As of now, the new deal must be approved by a majority of the members.

Needless to say, this upheaval has put a damper on real estate sale in Shadow Wood and Tbe Brooks. I always maintained that it was the best time negotiate a deal because of the uncertainty that will be worked out. Any costs associated with the club could be covered in whole or in part in what you negotiate.

Stay tuned...

Need an excellent barber in the Bonita Springs, Florida area?

Someplace that provides outstanding results, is speedy, and is very economical?

Then you deserve to treat yourself to a haircut at ‘Makin the Cut" on Old 41 in Bonita Springs, Florida.

Antoinette & her partner opened their shop only a few months ago with outstanding results. Their shop is located in a new strip center named "The Shoppes at Hawthorne" which sits on the east side of Old 41 between the US Post Office and Buffalo Chips restaurant. Easy to find and more importantly, easy to access off of Old 41.

Antoinette has been cutting my hair for the past 5 years and has always done an outstand job. Very personable, enjoyable to talk to and does a fabulous job making sure you walk out of the shop looking like a ‘GQ". Their hours are very convenient ..... Mon - Fri from 8am to 5pm and Saturdays from 8am to 2pm.

Over the years, before finding Antoinette, I have had difficulty finding a quality barber. The old adage about haircuts has been ..."The difference between a bad haircut and a good haircut is two weeks", well, I've never had that problem in the past 5 years and I'm sure her partner is equally as qualified.

If you are in the Bonita Springs area and in need of a quality barber, then please stop by and ask for Antoinette. I guarantee you that she will do an excellent job cutting your hair.

Backyard wildlife ...

Hello folks,

Thought I would share some pics of the backyard wildlife I just had the pleasure of experiencing. Was sitting on my back lania which doubles as my office when I heard an odd noise. Looked up and it was the momma wildcat and right behind her was a baby. The wildcat was roughly 8 feet away from me and when the baby saw me she ran off into the brush.

Went and got my camera and followed them into the brush (barefooted by the way) and got a couple nice pictures. There were actually 2 babies with the momma.

Here is a pic of the momma. She is a bit bigger than the normal house cat.

Here is one of the babies. he decided to plop down in the shade and take it easy. I was about 12 feet away when taking picture.

Hope you've enjoyed the pictures.

Palmira Golf & Country Club Relives Black Tuesday, Celebrates

Black Tuesday is how members of Palmira Golf & Country Club (PGCC) refer to Tuesday, September 30, 2008, the day The Ronto Group (developer of PGCC) closed the doors of the club permanently due to financial conditions.

One year later, in a jovial manner with laughs, smiles and speeches, the members relived the day including crime scene tape stretched across the front doors. This is a bad situation turned good. A few months previous to Black Tuesday I sold a property in PGCC. I relayed the event to the seasonal resident and said not to worry, in time it will be fine. I just knew it would. In this case the members in this premium Bonita Springs community stepped up and purchased the club with 27 holes of golf and now have 320+ members which is nearly the peak membership of the past. The end result is much lower initiation fees and dues and PGCC is now one of the places to be in the area.

PGCC is not alone. Similar situations have taken their toll in other area golf courses. In the end, I believe that these too will be worked out. In as much as the housing market is in its early stages of recovery, it will drive the rejuvenation of golf clubs in these communities.

What could this mean to a home buyer? Good deals, of course. Just like a financially distressed property brings a lower price compared to market value, a distressed golf community can bring down prices or slow down sales leading to better deals.
