So this is the way it is today in Lake Worth! Raining and windy!!!! Just another day in the tropics at the end of hurricane season. Thank heaven hurricane season is over soon. Another year without a major storm hitting us is invaluable. Now if we can just get the financial sector to rebound.... It is pretty slow here in our office these days. Hopefully after the election this will change. I have been spending my time wondering how to combat the complacency and negativity I encounter every day by people in the industry and the public at large. Myself included! Many just can't see the forest for the trees. There are so many great buys out there right now. Most folks are focusing on all of the bad things plaguing our market. I find that there are plenty of things to be happy about. If you ... 10/24/2008

Living in Palm Beach County is paradise. In the summer the ocean is warm for swimming 80-85 degrees. You can drift around in the water on a noodle or floatie and never get cold. No need to bring a towel - when you leave the water the sun keeps you warm and you dry off quickly. Bring a beach umbrella and a cover ups and pleanty of sunblock. A large brimmed hat and you can float in the ocean all day. Try and do that in the northern ocean water. Up there, even in summer you can't stay in the water as long without turning blue. When you live here you can drive all along Ocean Blvd and we get to enjoy all the wonderful beaches, Boynton Beach at the Inlet, Manalapan, Delray Beach are very popular, as are, Lantana Beach, and Ocean Ridge. The beaches in Palm Beach proper are nice and I have a f... 08/28/2008

I have lived and sold homes in Lake Charleston for over 10 years.  Many of my customers in the past few years have wanted to purchase homes in Lake Charleston but could not afford it due to the high appreciation we have experienced.The current real estate market has presented opportunities for homebuyers.  People who previously could not afford homes in Lake Charleston, are now seeing homes more affordably priced.  With the high number of homes going into foreclosure an additonal opportunity is also available to buyers.  The trick is, to find these homes before they go into foreclosure.  In other words, find homes in PRE-FORECLOSURE.  Banks are doing everything they can to avoid foreclosing on homes.  The first thing you need is to find a real estate agent that is knowledgeable in this ... 11/06/2007
