Today is one of those days where it seems as if I have a ton of things to do and nothing is going quite like I had planned. Here is a nice little inspirational adversity quote for you to think on.
If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. ~Robert Fulghum
Well, I didn't break my neck, I just ate lunch at the Cracker Barrel and I don't think my house is on fire. I guess my day is a little better than I thought!
I recently had the buyer for a house on 1566 Pier St., which is located in the Lakeview Pointe Subdivison in Clermont Florida. A couple days before closing, the title company called me and asked if I could find some information on the Home Owners Association. Since the house was bank owned, the listing agent had no information on the HOA.
Looking online, I found nothing. Frustrated by the lack of information online, I decided to walk the neighborhood and ask the homeowners if they knew anything about the HOA. Fortunately, I came across a very nice lady who pointed me in the right direction. So, for those people living in Lakeview Pointe or considering a move into the Lakeview Pointe Subdivison, here is where you can find all of the information on your HOA.
What can $200,000 get you in Clermont, Fl.? Well, let me show you the house that we found for our buyer that they closed on today!!
1566 Pier St. Clermont, Fl. 34711. Lakeview Pointe Subdivision. 2900 Sq. Ft. Pool. $162,500.
This was a Bank Owned home that we found a couple weeks ago. The buyers loved it, made an aggressive offer to the bank and we closed on it today.
One of the drawbacks of buying a bank owned home, is that sometimes the previous owner has taken all appliances. Still, they got a really good deal!
"If the chimney ain't smokin, we ain't open". This is the slogan that you will see when you come to Jack's BBQ in Minneola, Fl. The slogan that they should use is, "Best dadgum BBQ in South Lake County!". I guarantee they will never use my slogan, simply because of the word "dadgum". You see dadgum is a word that Florida State Seminole Head Football Coach Bobby Bowden always says. When you walk into Jack's BBQ, you will see that they aren't so much anti-Florida State as they are die hard Florida Gator fans. You see where their allegiance lies immediately. Right there beside the cooler that houses the best potato salad I have ever had is an autographed Tim Tebow football. Beside that is a Jeff Demps signed picture. If that doesn't tip you off, maybe all of the pictures and all of the Gator Blue and Orange will let you know. In fact, rumor has it that the first question on their application is "Are you a Florida Gator Fan?".
Personally, I am a Florida State fan, but they still serve me. I've gotten a little ribbing for my FSU fandom, but it's all good. The Blue and Orange is a little blah for me, but to get to eat this great BBQ...I can deal with a little Gator color.
Honestly, as for meat, the only thing I have had there is the turkey. It is THAT good. I go in there often now and think about getting some of that great smelling pork or beef, but I always lean toward the turkey. I'm weird like that...I find something I like and I stick with it. I also get the potato salad, which is a no-no if you are on the P90X Weight Loss Program. I'll run an extra mile...the potato salad is awesome!! I always thought my mom made the best potato salad, but mommas salad has just been kicked to the curb!!!
I took my dad in there the other day and of course I got the same ole, same ole. However, he mixed it up a little and ordered the potato salad and the baked beans. I tried the baked beans and left wondering if Jack's baked beans are indeed manna from heaven!! And the sweet tea...don't even get me talking about the sweet tea. I am southern born and raised and I KNOW SWEET TEA. This stuff is good.
To the staff at Jack's, keep up the great work and I'll see you at lunchtime...where I hope to try something different!!
For those reading, stop by Jack's and tell them I sent you (it won't get you a discount though!). As for their hours of operation, I'm not sure, but if the chimney ain't smokin, they ain't open!!

Working with Johnny Davis was such a pleasure.He listened to what we wanted and that's what he showed us. So nice to know someone is listening and not out just for the kill.Johnny answered all emails and phone calls in a timely fashion.The buying was PAINLESS due to Johnny.I highly recommend him to all in the housing market.

Johnny was very helpful during my house-buying experience. He took extra time and effort to educate me on how to find a house that suited me and my needs at a great price. I would recommend him to anybody I know in the market to buy or sell a house.

"When we decided to find a house to flip as an investment, we really didn't know where to start looking. Johnny searched out a particular area and started sending out flyers to people whose homes weren't listed on the MLS. To our surprise, we heard back from a man in Pennsylvania who wanted to sell us his home for around 61% of value."

Johnny listed our 2 story, 5 acre home in Clermont and had a buyer for us fairly quickly. We were pleased with his attention to detail and his marketing. This was the first time we had sold a "house" and the process went very smooth. We were even allowed to stay in our house for an extra month at no cost!!!

"Johnny has assisted me in finding multiple investment properties with great success. He was very professional and went the extra mile to get things accomplished. On one occasion we were going to look at a property when I saw another plot of land that was more appealing. Johnny located the owner, got her to sell it way below market, and flipped it for me in two weeks. If your looking to find a great deal then I recommend his services you won't be disappointed"
