More Pictures of Clearwater Beach, Florida
While some parts of the country like my college town of Seattle, Washington received a dusting of snow yesterday, Clearwater Beach, Florida is sunny. As you can see in these pictures of Clearwater Beach, Florida.
What is unique about Clearwater Beach, Florida is access to public restrooms and adequate parking. I have been to numerous beaches in the states and some lack public restrooms which is a concern of many mothers with young children.
The sand goes for miles. So does the sunshine.
Just make sure you slather sunscreen on your skin before heading to the beach. I do that every morning irrelevant if I am heading to the beach or not. Our weather is typically sunny and the rays are very strong.
When I do head to Clearwater Beach, Florida it is usually on the weekends. If you do head out on the weekend, make sure you arrive before 10 a.m. for the best parking which is metered.
Clearwater Beach, Florida is a great place to relax. It's also a great place to live, work, and play.
Hope you enjoy these pictures of Clearwater Beach, Florida.

Real Estate Bloggers in Tampa Bay Florida
About 13 of us showed up with like-minded people at the Tarpon Turtle located in Tarpon Springs, Florida.
We met for lunch. I decided to opt for the mahimahi sandwich which was pleasantly surprisingly 'ono (delicious in Hawaiian.)
I am so glad I showed up. I had the chance to finally meet some of my favorite bloggers in person.
It did not surprise me that the group was a fun, focused, and nice one.
If you are considering blogging for your real estate business... give Active Rain a try. You will learn and earn and smile along the way.
One of the benefits is that Active Rain makes it easier for you to start blogging. I have read the Wordpress Codex so know that it can be an undaunting task to get a blog started. With Active Rain they set the foundation for you plus you can pick up a few things to integrate with your business.
As you acquire more knowledge then you can easily make the transition to Wordpress. I state this because I know how to use Wordpress which can be overwhelming for those who are starting to blog or who WANT to start a blog.

Free Home Market Analysis New Port Richey Florida
Today I sent approximately 836 of these postcards to a portion of my mailing lists:
I used "Happy Holidays" to be inclusive of all. I could have used Mele Kalikimaka but many people don't speak Hawaiian so that was out of the question :)
On the back it looks like this
I had it made by a company called Xpressdocs which is based out of Fort Worth, Texas. They do a great job and are a preferred supplier of Coldwell Banker in our area. Xpressdocs makes it easy. I like their postcards because it is reasonably priced and of high quality.
I also started using MyRealEstateTools.com but for other purposes.

Because every home matters.
Aloha kakou (Hello everyone):
Born and raised in Hawaii, I love living in sunny Tampa Bay Florida. Tampa Bay offers:
1) Warm weather; 2) Numerous fantastic beaches and parks:
3) the Pinellas Trail;
4) Great communities (both local and statewide;) 5) A high affordability factor; 6) Year-round vegetable gardening; 7) Fantastic thrift stores; 8) Some REALLY nice, awesome people; and 9) Many activities, amenities, and restaurants.
I LOVE it in Florida and enjoy helping others in the Tampa Bay area in the home buying and home selling process:

As a property owner in Florida, in Hawaii, and in Washington (Kirkland to be exact) I know what buyers and sellers experience because I have experienced it and wish to help others through the home buying and selling process.
Let my experience and education coupled with my high level of energy, dedication, knowledge, and persistence work for you.
Partly because I grew up as a socio-economically disadvantaged child, at each of my closings I am passionate about helping some less fortunate people in some way. A few organizations that I donate a portion of every transaction to are as follows:
- Coldwell Banker CARES Foundation, a non-profit organization in Florida that gives to those in need and enriches the community
- The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast a.k.a. Suncoast Hospice, a non-profit organization in Florida which provides a broad spectrum of services to anyone affected by end of life as well as community-at-large though their family of programs which include people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and much more
- 'Aha Punana Leo Hawaiian language immersion schools in Hawai'i, a non-profit organization in Hawai'i dedicated to serving the Hawaiian language community
- Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)
- and to the Salvation Army
One of my dogs, Bambam, who I adopted from the SPCA says "Hello!"
