Living the Florida Lifestyle at Christmas time is truly an experience that everyone should experience.  Those of us who live here year round in New Port Richey, may be looking to sell a home during the holidays.  Since we have a large community of seasonal renters I suggest leaving your home on the market during the holidays so the seasonal renters have the opportunity to view your home for sale while they are in town.   Seasonal renters are our winter friends who come back year after year for the winter.  Some of our winter friends are from New York, Michigan, Oregon and Canada just to name a few.

  It’s Baking Season And Kids Love To Bake-Think Safety First     I think all kids love to try baking and being part of the holiday prep, and what better way to teach them math and chemistry. If you are teaching the kids, make sure it is done safely.       Be sure that all hands are thoroughly washed before starting. If you hear a sneeze or cough, all bets are off and hand-washing starts again. Make sure that long hair is tied out of the way of food and mixers. Keep the sharp knives and tools in a safe place until one is needed. Don’t ever throw sharp implements in soapy water together. Keep them separate for safe washing. Always have hot pads and hot mitts available. Keep pot handles from sticking out where a child (or adult) can bump them. Do make it fun, no yelling. Stay involved in ...

  In the State of Florida there are many veterans who choose this state to reside.  It was nice to see so many people show their gratitude to veterans today. I remember in the 1970s while growing up they were not well-received during the time of the Vietnam War.Again... thank you for your service.

Trying to get a great "Deal" may cost you the home you want in our local New Port Richey market.  Working with both home sellers and home buyers, I get to hear and learn from both sides of the transaction.  Almost every home seller wants top dollar for their home and almost every buyer wants to get the home for less money or get a great "Deal". When buying a home, you may want to keep in mind that not every home is overpriced. Not every seller is unrealistic and when your Realtor® shares information with you, you may want to listen to what they are saying. Our New Port Richey Florida housing market is hot right now. We have far less homes for sale than we have buyers wanting to purchase a home. We are also seeing that over 90% of the homes sold have done so within 95-99% of the list pri...

  Living On My Wildlife Park in Timber Greens, New Port Richey, FL   My home is lovely and it’s located in a wonderful gated community but what I really love about it is that it’s like living in a wildlife park. There is always something new and exciting to photograph; or just watch.    Roseate Spoonbill We are on the golf course that has woods all around the back of it: the golfers are far, far away (Thank goodness).  I have taken pictures of deer, wild pigs, alligators, every kind of water bird, and every other bird especially hawks and hummingbirds, squirrels, raccoons, butterflies, lizards, toads and spiders. Oh My.    Deer I love my kitchen because I love to cook, and I love my location because we are on a loop and never have traffic going by. I love my huge windows that have a vie...
