You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
Did you know that the Broward County Youth Fair is opened and hopping? Well if you didn't, you know now. So what are you waiting for? Get going and get to having fun. I know this year I will be making it out this year. The kids know and undersand fairs, so this will be extra fun!
Themed Catch a Ride, the 33rd annual fair runs through Nov. 30 at Fort Lauderdale Stadium. Along with traditional festival fare of corn dogs, cotton candy and funnel cake, organizers have added what could become a staple of the fair diet: chocolate-covered fruits.
So if you make it to the fair stop by and leave some pictures. Would love to see them! Have fun!!
What are you doing with people who have stated income?
How are you dealing with customers who have cash, however, they want a small mortgage with 2/3's cash and wish to mortgage a small portion of the purchase price with stated income?
I have a deal pending on a loan approval with a customer as above...Credit score is close to 700...It's been hit by several lenders ...used to be around 720....knocked down by a few lenders.
This person owns several properties that are rentals, small mortgages, great choices when they were purchased. Even in this market, they are holding their own.
This mortgage will be paid off after the sale of their condo (views below), which I have listed at $150K less ( @$525,000.00 )than recent sales and current listings. This is the model for the condo unit and has absolutely fabulous views, custom plaster work, coffered ceilings, crown mouldings, hardwood floors...marble in the 2 master suites, granite counters, and custom all around...a fantastic unit.
So, does anyone have lender's who will go stated in this market? If so who? If you know will you email me?
This place is marvelous...Inside an out! These are just the views from this fabulous model for the condo complex. Designer everything, kitchen with granite, hard wood floors, 2/2.5...with 1700 sq. ft.
Fantastic...
Want to exchange this for a town home...so he can have a puppy dog...and a motorcycle...
What is important in life, sometimes is so simple.

Located at 1 N. Ocean Blvd. in
Pompano Beach (at the Intersection of A1A & Atlantic Blvd.),
Oceanside Pompano Beach
is an Atlantic Oceanfront and Intracoastal Building (not a DIRECT
Oceanfront building since it's not located on the Sand),
located directly
across the street from the Beach, so many of the
units include fabulous Ocean views or Intracoastal
Waterway Views and some units include both views!
Currently, many Units
are being offered for sale at prices that are discounted 14% - 57% off
of the original Developer's prices, so if you're looking for South
Florida Waterfront Condo deals, Oceanside
Pompano Beach
is a great place to consider.
The
Residences range in size from ~ 1,443 sq. ft. - ~ 3,614 sq.
ft., including 2 Bedrooms - 3 Bedrooms and 2 Baths - 3.5 Baths. Their
current price range is $420,000 - $4,695,000. Closings and
occupancy started in April of 2008. Tax Records indicate
that, in the most recent Quarter, there have been 5 closings in the

When viewing the Tax
Records for Oceanside
Pompano Beach Condo Owners, I looked at their
mailing addresses. Of all of the Owners who have closed on
their Units, only 3 have local mailing addresses listed. The
remaining Owners have addresses located in New Jersey, California,
Maryland, Illinois, Louisiana, Ohio, and Virginia. This isn't
surprising as South Florida Waterfront Condos are purchased by large
numbers of vacation home owners who are located in other States and
Countries.

Homes®, Penthouse Estates®
and Loft Home® residences, the
first phase, named The Plaza, is a
17-story luxury tower with a unique contemporary structure. The

vibrant landscape of sumptuous restaurants, chic boutiques, walking

Oceanside Pompano Beach
is conveniently located close to many South Florida Sports, Music,
Casinos, other Entertainment Venues, and Restaurants. The

Beach offers fabulous Waterfront Homes and Condos and is bordered on

I have been absent from my blog these past few summer months. Many things have happened since my last post. The most important and consuming is that I got married on July 20th. As you might imagine I was a basket case for the few weeks prior to the big day. There was a lot of planning, coordinating, etc. to be taken care of, especially in the case of a destination wedding. My wife, Lindsey, and I were wed in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
A few days after the wedding we left for our Honeymoon in Thailand. Now I could dedicate a whole blog to that trip and the splendors of Thailand but I will not. Let's just say that it is a truly beautiful place. The sights, the people, and the food are all phenomenal. (The shopping is pretty good too!)
We got back in mid-August and promptly moved in together into a brand new apartment in Delray Beach. So before I could even get my bearings in the office, I was busily moving everything I owned from one place to another. Setting up TVs, buying new furniture, and doing all sorts of household chores that husbands are supposed to do.
Well, things are finally feeling like they are settling in. Our new bed was delivered this week and we've hung all the amazing art that we bought in Thailand. I am almost caught up with all my files on my desk. Almost...
Now it is time to get to work! I realize now that I am married and spent a small fortune on my nuptials and vacation in paradise that I NEED SOME SALES!
I have 3 or4 in the works, but my two largest sales both went sour and it is time to make up for them. My website, www.Palm-Aire.com is doing very nicely but not enough people are buying. So if you are a buyer and you are reading this right now, pick up your phone and call me at 888-658-1745. ;)
(However if you call on Saturday September 13th and I do not pick up it is because I am at a wedding in Boston, MA all day - I'll be back Monday)
Ok, that's it for the moment. I have a lot of things to do in the office still and the work day ends in 40 minutes. Of course, i'll be here til 7 or 8 as usual but people stop picking up their phone after 6pm.
Have a great weekend and I hope to hear from you soon.
