Here's why......
* It's a buyer's market. Price declines over the past year have made this the best time to buy.
*The inventory of homes for sale gives buyers incredible selection. The number of homes for sale is greater than it has been in 15 years.
* Real estate continues to be great financial investment. The average return on a five percent down-payment over 10 years is usually three to five times greater than the stock market returns.
*The current favorable market conditions won't last long. Research shows that prices are beginning to stabilize and price declines are over.
*Mortgage rates are at or near all time lows. Capturing these low rates now means your monthly payments are lower and much more affordable.
*Recent voter approval of Amendment 1 allows to transfer their "Save Our Homes" tax benefit from their old home to a newly purchased home. Up-sizing or downsizing, this is the best time to buy.
WHY WAIT ANY LONGER? Contact a REALTOR today! It's time to make your dreams a reality.
So has this past week been active for everyone? Has anyone else seen some change?
Wow, bring it on. This past week I got two offers accepted and one verbal waiting for the contract to come back. Please say this is the beginning some something good.
Is it the interest rates? Or are people just ready to finally do something because they've been waiting so long. Whatever it is please keep it coming. I love to be busy. I guess I was just hoping it happening all over and everyone is seeing some change for the better. I hope this continues for everyone. The way I see it if you all can get your sellers homes sold them they will make they"re way to there new destination and spread the wealth.

CDPE, Short Sale Specialist, 2010 ERA ADVANTAGE REALTY TOP PRODUCER IN SALES AND LISTINGS. 2009 REALTOR OF THE YEAR!! What an Honor for doing what you love. I Love
ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU. 
I am a licensed Florida Realtor serving Highlands County and many other areas of Florida. I not only work with local and out of town buyers and sellers but provide services and specialize in assisting Real Estate Investors find preconstruction opportunities, rental properties, vacant land, and much more!
I love what I do! I love the constant challenges I'm faced with daily. Every one of my clients is unique and that is exactly how I treat them. I'm proud to say that a high percentage of my business comes from past clients, people who choose my service time and time again.
I have over 20 years of business experience. Previous to Real Estate my husband and I owned a successful business in Palm Beach County for 16 years. I was a resident of South Florida for 36 years. I did most of my growing up years in Palm Beach County. My family (husband and children) have been coming to Highlands County since 1994. We fell in love with Lake Placid. In 1996 we purchased our first property here. We moved to Lake Placid permantaly in 2001 and couldn't be happier. In 2004 I was top 5 in Highlands County Board of Realtors in units sold. I sold 180 units in 2004. 2005 I was a Mulimillion dollar producer and recieved a Top Producer award from The Lake Placid Board of Realtors. 2006 I was a member of the awards commitee and the Banquete commitee. 2007 I was asked to be part of the Board of Directors for the Lake Placid borad of Realtor which I graciously accepted. I'm also the co chair for Lake Placid RPAC and continue to be on the Banquete committe, & The Awards committee. I also belong to Kiwanis, AQHA, APHA, and helped out for the Relay for life.
I specizle in Acreage, Residential, Waterfront, lots, whatever your needs are I'm there for you 150 percent. I know this county like the back of my hand. I rather educate you in what to look for and what you need stay away from. If I don't have the answers for you I'm more then willing to get them. This just gives me more knowledge.
I'm always getting: This is probably a stupid question. I don't feel any question is a stupid question. If you question something then its important to you and that deserves an answer.
I myself own waterfront, residential lots and acreage so when it comes to having the answers for you, I can say I've probably already questioned it or have researched the facts.
Hi Anita, I have been thinking of listing our Lake house property and you treated us so well I thought we would list it with you. I have too much property to pay for. Can you tell me what to list it for. We can sell it all furnished. Let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks for everything
