I have lived in Brevard all my life and watched the area grow from orange groves and mosquitoes to the Space Port of the Nation. I actually remember when the town of Viera was hundreds of acres of prime pasture land improved and owned by the Duda family.  Actually my first wife's family lived and work on the ranch and I was privileged to ride through the miles of pasture land and look at all the cows and Brahma bulls and wild game that is still abundant on the remaining pasture land today.  My father, Lawrence Fleckinger Sr., now 80 years old is still a small time cattle rancher (about 300 head of cows on the St. Johns River) and we purchased a few Brahma bulls and a horse or two from the Dudas' back in the day. Speaking of the St. Johns river, not many people know that the Duda propert... 12/07/2011

We usually identify the market as a "Buyers" Market or a "Sellers" Market, but is it possible to have Both? Yes, and in some areas we are witnessing just that! In Brevard County, Florida, housing was hit very hard, getting clipped over 60% from the peak of 2005. the low inventory levels have hit levels we have not witnessed in several years. This type of reduction has reduced the time a home spends on the market (If the home is priced according to demand). In some areas throughout Brevard the inventory is so low, buyers are finding fewer homes to chose from, so they are having to expand their search.

That's a bizarre question! No, its not some new formula, it has always been there, many just do not recognize it! I am talking about how does 1 client turn into 10! So, how does 1 equal 10? How can we turn 1 client into 10? Well, after you acquire a new client (which is a challenge in itself) The 1st place to start is providing a consistent Service that is "Above and Beyond" expectations! Most of us all know the importance of past client referrals, but many agents I talk with just don't keep ino touch long term after closing a sale with that client. Whether your a Buyers Agent or a Listing Agent, we Agents are Service Providers. When we go above and beyond to provide a service that offers a Value to your client, you can bet your client will tell at least 3 Other Friends or Neighbors, If... 09/25/2011

Sound Familiar? Buyers are all over the map these days, even as the market has been beaten down, it seems to have made the buyers cover all basis, and in some cases, start out in one direction only to do a complete 180 in the other, including many different Realtors... It amazes me how many prospective buyers sift through the Internet, speak to Realtors, then through neighborhoods, call off the for sale signs, open houses, speaking with several Realtors to help them, setting them up on a home finder campaign. Where do they go? What really bothers us most, is this lack of loyalty that we receive from this group of individuals. I have even worked with some that end up saying they would not buy a pool home, even after sending them some they told me not to include pool homes in the search, ... 09/21/2011

Short Sale Activity in Viera Suntree and Rockledge Florida–September 2011 Less than 19% of all active single family home listings in Brevard County, Florida's Viera, Suntree and Rockledge, areas are short sale listings.  To hear some folks talk you would think the entire market is distressed which is far from the truth! Of all the residential units currently under contract 58% are short sales however many have been under contract for some time.   The reason, of course, is the short sale approval process can be so long - months! The short sales closed in August 2011 in Viera, Suntree and Rockledge (18) represent just over 20% of the closings.   Another 8% of the closings were foreclosures.   Put another way - almost three of four closings are standard sales.  Viera East area includes Sun... 09/17/2011
