Fishing off Clearwater Florida in the intercoastal waterways during the month of February means that you are likely to hook Spanish Mackerel and that equals one tasty dinner! We were out on the boat yesterday and Ronnie did indeed catch a nice Spanish Mackerel. They need to be 12 inches to keep and this guy was 15, so he was headed for the dinner table. Clearwater Florida offers great fishing year round! It is also a fantastic place to live and play in the Florida sun! Perhaps that is why so many choose to call this area of the Sunshine State their home. If you are ready to begin your relocation plans, give me a call today.

Today is the start of the Chinese new year otherwise known as the lunar year. I am Chinese too. I state "too" because I am of mixed ethnicities. I am very proud of my Chinese heritage despite some blaming China thus the Chinese for the further devaluation of American currency. It is not our fault. Really. I was born with a Chinese surname. My grandfather's name is Lin Hau and my father's name is Man Fong. On my maternal side, I also have Chinese. My maternal grandmother's name was Ah Lan. I am very proud to be Chinese!In any case I wish for health and prosperity for all during this Year of the Horse. Video is courtesy of Youtube taken in Hawai'i where I was born and raised:May all of your dreams and hopes come true!

'How much to purchase an island?' was the question I received from a client from up in New Jersey. He was down here looking at homes and wanted to know about purchasing one of the islands in Clearwater's intercoastal waterway to build a home on. The problem is that those islands belong to the county and most of them are bird sanctuaries while others belong to the park system. So no islands for sale here. While it may sound like a cute idea, you have to also think about things like getting fresh water out there, disposing of waste water and trash and commuting to take the kids to school, get groceries, etc. As great an idea as it sounds at first, when you seriously think about it, who would want to live on an island unless you were retired and only needed to come to the mainland when YOU...

Clearwater Florida's intercoastal waterway is indeed beautiful! Perhaps that is why so many 'snow birds' travel down this way every winter. Rather than coming down for the winter, why not relocate to the state that is surrounded by water (since Florida is a peninsula) and there is NO state income tax!  Imagine, you can have all of your water toys down here and use them year round because our winters are always mild. The Clearwater Florida area has many lovely neighborhoods just waiting for you so give me a call today to discuss your relocation plans!

http://clearwaterbeachforsale.kwrealty.com/sell/Condos in the Sand Key-Clearwater Beach Florida area are in high demand! Many qualified buyers are looking for waterfront condos as second homes, but the low inventory of Clearwater condos is making it a challenge for buyers to find what they are looking for. We understand a lot of homeowners have not even considered selling their homes lately because of the drop in home values a few years ago, which has resulted in fewer choices for buyers. However you might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth today. Most communities in Clearwater Florida are now considered to be in a sellers' market, due to the supply and demand shift.If you have been thinking of selling your Sand Key-Clearwater Beach home, but aren't sure how much you can ...

The State of Florida real estate sales associates exam and the broker exam are extremely difficult. In both exams they ask you about signage that is required. According to Florida State Statute 475.22 Florida real estate brokers must maintain a sign on or about the entrance of her or his principal office and each branch office, which sign may be easily observed and read by any person about to enter such office. Each sign must contain the name of the broker, together with the trade name, if any. For a partnership or corporation, the sign must contain the name of the firm or corporation or trade name of the firm or corporation, together with the name of at least one of the brokers. At a minimum, the words “licensed real estate broker” or “lic. real estate broker” must appear on the office...

October flowers in Clearwater Florida is a reminder that there is always a splash of color everywhere you turn down here in the Sunshine State.

Give me a call today so we can discuss your plans to find that perfect home for you and your family here on the sparkling shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

Yes, this is how beautiful the October weather on the water is here off the coast of Clearwater Florida! We waited until past noon to go out since I had phone calls to make, appointments to set and another contract to write but once that was done, we took off. We switched the live well and the built in cooler with each other so there is more room for the fish. Ronnie uses a cast net and we had well over 60 fish in the live well......everything from green backs, small mullet and pin fish to grunts. They all make great bait for snook and redfish. I brought my iPhone and listened to a book on economics and the euro from Audible.de. I do this so I don't let my German knowledge decline. While I may be listening to a book, I am quick with the net to bring large fish into the boat when Ronnie ...
