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! 12/22/2013

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... 11/05/2013

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 ... 10/12/2013

Clearwater Florida's intercoastal waterway is a great destination for fishing at any time of year. As the northern states start feeling the season's change in October, we are still out on the boat enjoying the sunshine and catching fresh fish for dinner. Today Ronnie and I went out for a day of relaxation and he caught a 25" redfish which we are going to have for dinner tomorrow night! He also had several snook on the line but none made it to the boat today.  He cleaned the redfish at the boat ramp and had a line of pelican waiting for any scraps that he tossed their way. It was a wonderful day on the water and just one more reason why I love living down here in the Clearwater Florida area - the weather is always great and the fishing rocks! 10/09/2013

Florida does indeed offer sunshine, blue skies and fabulous beaches! Did you know that Clearwater was voted Florida's BEST beach town by USA Today in 2013! I think that says it all. Honeymoon Island State Park and Caladesi Island State Park have both been rated among the nation's best beaches over and over again due to the fact that these two barrier islands have pure white quartz crystal beaches and sparkling clear waters. Naturally, the fact that the sun almost always shines here in the Sunshine State makes those fabulous beaches even more appealing! Those who love the water find our peninsula state one of the best states in the nation since we are surrounded by water and here in Pinellas County, we are a peninsula on a peninsula! Our entire county is surrounded by water! It really do... 10/01/2013
