I wrote these stats yesterday for Localism, however:
I thought I would put it out there to Realtors(r) as well, b/c people are still thinking, we are giving away property here in SE Florida for as low as $25,000. by the beach - I've never ever saw a property listed that low east of Federal Highway or US 1.
I can't even find anything that low in a SFH anywhere. There was one condo, which I had a customer offer on...it was up to $30K as a back-up.
We've sold a ton of inventory under $100K here in south Florida. From what I hear, the banks are getting rid of low priced inventory and hoping prices come up a little before they release the more expensive inventory.

Nopawleftbehind.org...a great place to adopt a pet, in SE Florida.
My friends daughter started this non-profit organization to enable pets left behind by owners who have passed away or owners who just didn't want to be bothered with a pet anymore.
The organization is in Deerfield Beach, FL.
Jacquelyn developed this organization due to her love of animals and her Grandmothers love of animals.
I just adopted "Molly" -
Molly took about 3 weeks to become a fantastic friend and she sits and works with me while I am listing and looking for properties for my customers.
This non-profit organization covers Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties in SE Florida.
If you are interested in a new pet, call me 954-464-4194 and I will connect you with the owner.
Nothing better than this.
When you want a new puppy, or even if you want an older animal (cats as well), they will be spayed or neutered, have all their shots, kennel cough included, and have their flee and tick treatments. She will not let any of her new found "children" out of her site unless they are in great shape!
I'm very happy...if you want to adopt an adorable pet in need of a home...call me.

How Excited was I to receive the Realtor.com's "Award of Excellence" from Max Pigman last Wednesday?
I was thrilled! When I was first invited to this seminar and told that I had been chosen to receive this award, I have to tell you...I didn't believe it. I talked to my office manager and asked her if anyone else had ever had a call like this before and she said, "Not to my knowledge", we just had a little laugh and I totally forgot about it.
Then last Monday night David from Realtor.com called me and said, "Are you going to make the seminar on Wednesday morning, you are going to receive an award." I thought, "Well, maybe this is real!" so I said, "Yes, I'll be there."
Well, to my surprise, it was a real award, and it was based on the fact that I add more pictures to my listings than is required, I make comments on the pictures, and I fill in as much of the data on the MLS sheets that goes through to their site as I possibly can.
So, here is what I received:

Now, I know it's hard to read, however, Max Pigman, VP of Realtor.com presented me with this award and I had my picture taken with him during the presentation and this will be part of their website.
It was a great seminar, and they had some great marketing ideas about new camera's that take better pictures, attachments that widen the view, lighting features, and they (as does Brad) advocate the use of the iPHONE vs the Blackberry because of the ability to open attachments.
Mr. Pigman didn't know that we here in south Florida were also able to access our MLS from our iPHONE's as well (thank you Brad - you told me I would thank you and you are so right!)
So, that being said, I had a fantastic week.
How was your week? We are really busy here in south east Florida. If you need any assistance, please feel free to let me know.

Signals, dropped calls, and the iPHONE...
At Brads suggestion (and if my phone worked it would be great), I purchased an iPHONE in July. Ever since I purchased the phone, I have not had good service in my home or office. I have constant dropped calls and people tell me they only hear every other word I say when I am using my phone.
That being said, YES, I have updated my phone, they have given me a new SIM card, I have done everything on earth to get this situation rectified.
Today, out of TOTAL FRUSTRATION, I took my phone back to BEST BUY and explained the situation. I bought my phone at BEST BUY, because they offer "insurance". When I bought the phone, I was told that if there were ever any issues with the phone, they would replace it. WELL - NOT!!!
When I went there today, they said that the policy had changed - mine was old (bought the phone in July - OLD???) and that they would have to send my phone back to APPLE, overnight, and that I would have a replacement in 3 days...DO THEY NOT KNOW WHAT 3 DAYS WITHOUT A PERSONAL PHONE MEANS TO A REALTOR(R)??? They offered to give me a totally different phone...not sure what it was, and offered to teach me how to use it...um...it took me 3 weeks to be comfortable with all the features of the iPHONE...AND, I have customers flying down to go see properties with me. I count on the GPS (and it works well for me) and also the features that I know can use without thinking.
So, with all the above, the sales "Assistant Manager" told me that there are many complaints about the same thing in my area. The server is AT&T...AT&T tells me I am in a high signal area and they are currently working on boosting it even further.
The "Assistant Sales manager" talked to the "Assistant store manager" and I talked to the Sales Manager of the phone department and they still would not honor my "old" (July) contract. What is the point of buying at BEST BUY, and purchasing their "insurance" if they won't honor the contract, saying that APPLE CHANGED THEIR POLICY. Was I notified of this change, NO.
What would you do???
