As a Seminole County resident for more than 35+, I'd welcome the opportunity to share with you why Seminole County is the preferred County to live in Central Florida.
A few weeks back, I wrote a post about Eden, The Spa for Image Discovery, which is a spa in the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute in Orlando, Florida that specializes in providing services to cancer patients. If you didn't get a chance to read that post, you can here.
Thankfully, I was introduced to Eden by a friend & client who knew that this project would have special meaning to me.
As as result of her introduction, I joined the Awareness Committee with the sole purpose of helping the Florida Hospital Foundation share the story of Eden Spa with others in Central Florida. Our Committee of four decided to host an "Open House" last week and as part of the hospital's campaign, we had strands of pink hair added to our own locks.
At the event, the local television station was present and there have even been advertisements on the radio that promote the giving a $10 donation for a pink lock of your own...At last count, there were over 100 people in the city who have made a donation and have pink hair to show for it!
Just yesterday, I was having lunch with a client in Winter Park and a lady with her pink lock walked by. Right then, I knew she was a supporter of the cause to find a cure for cancer.
Each day since I've added my lock, I've had teachers at my son's school, co-workers at the office, clients, family, friends and complete strangers ask me about my pink hair. When they ask, I tell them about Eden Spa and encourage them to make a donation as well.
Not only has having pink hair been a great conversation starter, but even more important, it brings awareness to the need to find a cure for cancer.
If you live in the Florida area and would like to get your own pink lock or know someone that could benefit from the services offered at Eden, the Spa for Image Discovery, you can visit them on the ground floor of the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute at 2501 N. Orange Avenue, Suite 186, Orlando, Florida 32804.

This week was an exciting one for RE/MAX agents and their clients!
On Wednesday, it was announced that RE/MAX Central Realty (the brokerage firm I work for) and RE/MAX Realty Resources (the "other" RE/MAX firm in Lake Mary) have merged and are now operating as one new firm under the RE/MAX Central Realty name.
As a result of the merger, there will be more than 100 Top Producing RE/MAX agents all under a new roof! This is especially exciting for someone like me who likes to network with other agents, as I find that we all have benefits that we bring to the table. Some are known for their technology skills, while others are known for their marketing or negotiating skills...regardless of what we are "known" for, I see this as a time to forge new relationships and to learn from one another.
The Buyers and Sellers we represent are certain to benefit as well. With highly motivated and skilled professionals working within the same brokerage, there is bound to come a time when one of my customers is interested in buying a home represented by one of my co-workers...and if we have good "relations," it's to everyone's benefit!
By merging, we will now be seen as the biggest and best RE/MAX brokerage in the Central Florida area!
Effective October 18, 2008, the two Lake Mary RE/MAX offices will be combining and moving to a new location at 605 Crescent Executive Court, Suite 332, Lake Mary, FL 32746. The new phone number is (407) 333-4400. The existing phone lines for both of the current offices will roll over as well, but just in case, you've now got the new one too!
In the event you are looking for a RE/MAX agent to sell your home or to help you buy a home, I'd love the opportunity to earn your business! I've lived & worked in the Lake Mary area for more than 35 years and would welcome the opportunity to share with you why Lake Mary was voted the #4 City to live in according to Money Magazine!
Feel free to contact me at LaShawn@LaShawnNorden.com or at (321) 377-0157 for a private consultation to discuss your selling or buying needs!

Well, it's time to face my fears.
In just two days, I'll be face-to-face with 160+ Lake Mary High School alumni from the Class of 1988.
Yikes!! Do I have time to lose 15 pounds, workout so that my FLAB turns to "FAB" or better yet, how about a total body makeover? You know, the hair, the makeup, the clothes..you name it...I'd love it all right about now as my anxiety level is at an all time high knowing that I'll be seeing many of those classmates that I thought were "cooler" than I was or who were nominated "most likely to succeed" while I was in Spanish Club and on the newspaper staff...oh my...so many memories (worth forgetting) and now, I've actually PAID MONEY to have them all resurrected....what was I thinking???
Honestly, it's not like I didn't know this day was coming for the past 20 years...so I guess I'd better just suck it up and face the reality that I am 10 pounds heavier than I was in high school and that even though I wasn't nominated for any special awards, I have been greatly rewarded in my life since then!
Fortunately, I married a wonderful man, have had two incredible boys and am known in Seminole County as a successful REALTOR who is in the "know" when it comes to residential properties and the luxury home market.
As a result of living in Lake Mary for the past 30+ years, I have had the pleasure of remaining friends and working for many of my high school classmates...and this weekend...I hope to catch up with many more!
Now, just so that I know what to expect from those only remember me from my high school graduation picture...which is better??
........Remember, BIG hair was in!
or.....This one, which is one of my "professional" shots that was taken this past December???
All kidding aside, I really am looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting some new ones!
Go RAMS!

As a Real Estate agent for RE/MAX, I enjoy working with individuals and families who are interested in Buying or Selling property in Seminole County! I'm the only "Central Florida Native You'll Need!"
A Seminole County resident for more than 35 years, I can and do share my knowledge of each city and the neighborhoods within those cities with both Buyers and Sellers. Being a Central Florida Native, I spent my early childhood years as a resident of Orlando, Maitland and Altamonte Springs. When I was 10, my family moved to the city of Lake Mary, Florida where I went to school at Lake Mary Elementary, Lakeview Middle (which is now Millenium Middle School) and Lake Mary High School. After graduating from high school in the late 80's, I worked at the Central Florida YMCA in Lake Mary and for the Seminole County Regional Chamber of Commerce before starting my real estate career in 2002. As the Marketing Director for the YMCA and a Sales Consultant for the Chamber, I learned valuable methods of advertising and developed many beneficial relationships with area business owners and individual homeowners...all of which have been the reason for my growing success in Real Estate. It is my belief that Buyers and Sellers alike deserve an agent who will listen to their needs, understands and explains the process and is more concerned about building a relationship than in getting a sale. I pride myself on my response time, communcation skills and knowledge of the Central Florida marketplace and look forward to continuing to build lasting relationships for the next 25+ years! Fortunately, for the last five years, I have been ranked in the top 5% of agents in the Orlando marketplace and wish to continue to offer exceptional service to many more over the course of my career. We have four children: RJ, Nickolas, Konnor and Elvis (our Puggle)! We live in a Cambridge Home that my husband built in a small Sanford community in Seminole County near Lake Mary and Winter Springs.
My husband, Rick, is a residential building contractor who owns his own company, Priority One Homes. He specializes in home renovation projects such as bathroom remodels, room additions, painting, drywall, crown and trim work and general household improvements...which of course, means we talk a lot about homes and real estate in our household!
I am dedicated to my family and my clients and truly enjoy being an advisor to those I work with! I hope to have the opportunity one day to add you to my list of clients and friends as I want to be the only "Central Florida Native You'll Need!"
I have consciously made efforts to extend my knowledge and experience to all clients, regardless of their price range or level of experience. I have successfully represented first-time homebuyers as well as clients selling or buying million dollar homes and every price range in between!
Because I have lived and worked in Seminole County and Orange County for more than 35 years, the areas I feel can best service clients are:
Lake Mary, Longwood, Sanford, Winter Springs, Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Fern Park, Oviedo, College Park, Winter Park, Windermere, Winter Garden, Ocoee, Orlando and Apopka...all of which are in Central Florida!
Because I have school-aged children also, I particularily enjoy working with families with children. I am very knowledgable about the area schools, recreation opportunities, YMCA locations and other interests that families might have and can relate to those who have similar interests.
Although there are many directions one can take when having a real estate license, my areas of expertise are: Buyer representation & negotiation with new home construction; Buyer and Seller representation with their home, condo or townhome sale or purchase; Buyers and Seller representation with their luxury home & estate sale or purchase and Buyer representation for those seeking investment opportunities in the residential market.
For those interested in commerical property, property management, short and long term rentals, leasing, vacation homes and time share, I do not feel that I am the best agent to service your needs...but I am happy to refer you to an experienced and effective agent who does specialize in those areas.
I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, Florida Association of Realtors and the Orlando Regional Realtor Association.
I have advanced certifications as a Accredited Luxury Homes Specialist and as a Transnational Referral Certified agent.
