The Valencias Real Estate Market Report for January 2012 includes the Active Adult 55+ Communities of Valencia Falls, Valencia Lakes, Valencia Pointe, Valencia Palms,Valencia Reserve, Valencia Shores and Valencia Isles. These senior housing, active adult 55+ or baby boomer communities are located in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth, FL.

All information was obtained from the Multiple Listing Service and sold by various MLS participants. It is deemed accurate but not guaranteed or warranted. This report does not include any private sales.

In January there were 11 homes sold in the Valencias, 7 less than last month. Once again, there was a mix this month of an increase as well as decrease in the average closed sales in each of the communities.

In my opinion, the sales vary by community as well as the particular model home. For example, they may have sold a 1500 square foot home one month and a 2700 square foot home the following month, thereby accounting for the price differential. The Valencias remain one of our top luxury active adult communities. It is my opinion we are still in a price-driven market.

The Valencias are pet-friendly communities!

Here is the breakdown by community.

World Wetlands Day-February 2nd-Why It's Important You Care!

World Wetlands Day -February 2nd-Why It’s Important You Care!

Today, February 2nd is World Wetlands Day and has had that designation since 1971 when several countries came together in Ramsar, Iran and signed the Convention on Wetlands. Thankfully these leaders had the foresight 41 years ago to realize the importance of our natural wetlands areas in the sustained health of our planet.

Green cay


What are Wetlands? Basically they’re ground areas that are saturated seasonally or year round with water. The water can be fresh, salt or even brackish. They’re not just large puddles of water that collect after a heavy rainfall, but are distinguished by the vegetation that thrive in their area.

What’s important is that Wetlands act as :

Water purification systems
Flood control
Shoreline stability
Reservoirs of “biodiversity”

The United States has 30 designated Wetland area sites. If you’ve read any of my posts on Green Cay.. it is a man-made wetlands area. It’s primary purpose is water reclamation, where several million gallons of treated water are filtered each day. The attraction of the many varied wildlife and fauna are the icing on the cake!

Here are just a few interesting facts to hopefully get you interested:

In the developing world 1 in 5 people lack clean drinking water.
In Maryland there has been a 73% loss of wetlands since the 1700’s.
Ohio has lost 90% of its wetlands.
Virginia has a 42% loss since the 1700’s.
The Cypress swamps in Florida can remove 98% or the nitrogen and
97% of the phosphorous pollution preventing contamination
in the groundwater.

A Good Salesperson Is Friendly And Listens To Their Clients

A Good Salesperson Is Friendly And Listens To Their Clients


While attending school, I spent two years as a waiter at a high end restaurant in the Annapolis area. There, I learned a lot about the art of selling and customer service. After leaving that gig, I spent three years in another high end role in a resort type atmosphere. During this time, I was grasping what it means to think on your feet and how to respond to the needs and challenges of your customer.

These challenges are and will be met by the beginner in this field as they embark to learn the tricks of the trade. Dealing with multiple clients can be difficult, especially at peak times like winter here in South Florida. It is important to stay calm, listen, and identify the issues and offer the best solution at hand.

Some of us are born to be salespersons. We have a positive attitude 90% of the time, a pleasant demeanor, and very outgoing. Keep in mind though, the art of salesmanship can be learned through the art of development of interpersonal skills, listening and communication skills, and a lot of practice.

There are many laws that help or master this approach and the two biggest ones are as follows:

Winston Realty, Inc. A Good Salesman


No. 1 Don’t talk about yourself, unless you are giving them your name and the reason you are in front of them. Rambling on about oneself is a DEAL KILLER.

No. 2 Sell your products or services by engaging your prospects with questions, not answers. Focus on what your clients need is not how great your product is.

Master these two big steps and you will achieve far better production than 80% of the other salepersons.
