Alex J. Goode Park is located at 1300 NE Bianca Drive in Palm Bay.  Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, Alex J. Goode Park is small with only 1 boat ramp and a mere 10 parking spots.  However, it does have restrooms and an absolutely beautiful water view.                                 There is no fee to use the boat ramp, and there are several docks that you can walk out on to see the abundant wildlife in the area.  When I was there with my mother, we spent quite a bit of time watching dolphins as they swam around the boat ramp, giving us a wonderful view of these magnificent marine mammals.       What makes Alex J. Goode Park so unusual is that it is know for it's aquatic visitors the manatee!  I have been told that at times the manatee population at Alex J. Goode Park i...

The Shack Seafood Restaurant is a little place that I have seen whenever I have driven up or down US1.  I noticed the sad looking little restaurant on the shores of the Indian River.  The exterior of The Shack Seafood Restaurant  was never a great big draw for me, but the "seafood" part always caught my attention. Well today I was out showing property to a couple from Miami.  Rick and Isabelle did not know what part of Brevard County they wanted to make their new home, so we were out driving doing our area tours.  As we drove past The Shack Seafood Restaurant, Isabelle immediately suggested lunch, which sounded like a great idea to me. We walked onto a lovely outdoor patio overlooking the Indian River and took chose a table.  We were promptly greeted by our waitress Jean, and given lunc...

Palm Bay and why I love it is an appropriate way to start this little travelogue.  It starts at the intersection of Palm Bay Road and Babcock Street and branches out from there.  Traveling west on Palm Bay Road we see proof of the vitality of this great city in the conversion of a defunct car dealership, to the expansion of Bass Pro Shops to the area, bringing with it 200 new jobs.  Just a little bit past that, we find Hammock Landing, which offers a variety of shopping and dining choices.  Turning to the south east of our original intersection, we find the Turkey Creek Sanctuary where you can stroll along their boardwalk enjoying unspoiled natural surroundings.  If you continue east to the Dixie Highway, you can dine overlooking the Indian River at establishments like The Shack Seafood...

  Life With Wee People: And the mischief continues... The thing about embracing the whole "Work Is The New Play" mantra is that you have to absorb an amazing amount of information to keep life fresh and fun. In my case, that means I am back in college full time taking accelerated classes in Healthcare Information Technology with a side of Certified Ethical Hacking (silly grin). Turns out I have been making very good use of my predilection for being anal retentive and computer literate, so my gal pals thought I should upgrade and validate the old knowledge skill set while continually hinting I should eventually become an attorney. I don't wanna, but I do love the mental chess of keeping up with my paralegal continuing education (and playing the pop quiz game with my snarky girlfriends).B...

Fight Like A GirlYeah... I know... the radio silence has been killing you guys. I promise to make it up to you later (evil grin).I've been working my bahookies off with manuscript re-writes, illustrating the graphic novel, doing the layouts for the children books and composing musical tracks when not entertaining my NYC gal pals and various relatives at the FL house. If you were a neighbor (or fly on the wall) in my garage and/or backyard you'd know that I've also been periodically choreographing kung fu sessions for an animation project that might come out next year (if I keep working 10 hour days on my computer and squeeze 2 to 4 hours of practice in).I've been kicking the crap out of my Muy Thai pads and missing my NYC crew. The girls think I should adopt a FL crew and I'm starting t...

            These graphs show the ratios of regular properties to short sales and bank owned properties in Palm Bay. The first graph indicates the properties that are currently available for sale. The second reflects the October 2011 sales in Palm Bay.  I find it very interesting that although the majority of the properties for sale are not short sales or bank owned properties, the combined majority of properties that have sold are those.  Currently there are more investors getting into our real estate market. Many are buying as long term investments. Rents are on the rise, and more people are shifting from being owner occupants to being renters.  And some investors are trying their hand at flipping properties.  While we are still seeing a large number of second home/vacation home buye...

I got a call last week from buyers that had looked at a house over a month before and decided they were now ready to buy it. They asked me to draw up an offer. I told them that since it had been awhile since we had seen it, we should head back out to check the condition of this vacant property.  I recommended we walk the perimeter and double check the inside before they proceeded ahead. I contacted the listing agent, asked several questions and made my appointment. When we pulled up to the property we were a bit taken aback at what we saw. The grass was several feet tall. This was definitely a city code violation, but the vacant house sitting next door, also for sale, had grass and weeds equally as high.  It was dusk and the front culvert was filled with water. The mosquitoes were terri...

      Lockmar Homeowners......First Impressions......The Exterior of Your House.....Get it right the 1st time      Did you know that a first impression can actually make or break the sale?  Its important to make sure that the first impression is a good one.  Choose some of these helpful pointers and it will give the exterior of your property "curb appeal". Make sure that the sidewalk and front walkway is swept and free of weeds.   Repair any broken or cracked areas of the walkway.   Remove any debris and make sure that there are no obstacles to your house. Cut the grass and trim the shrubs and keep it cut weekly.  Flowers can really make your home look cheery or place a few potted flowers out front.   In the fall, rake the yard free of leaves.   Hoses should be coiled up and out of the ...
