Everyone is speculating whether or not the recession is grinding to a halt and brighter days are on the horizon. It’s a question I get asked very often, but it’s very hard to gauge. With every tiny movement being scrutinized by figures and possible outcomes extrapolated it’s hard to know what the truth really is […]
A National Association of Realtors study estimated that foreigners and immigrants who’ve lived in the U.S. less than two years spent $82.5 billion on U.S. homes in the 12 months ended March 31. That’s about 9% of the total paid for all U.S. housing purchases during the period.

The face of luxury residential properties is changing. For many years it was an in ground pool and a magnificent gazebo that made a home the most desirable in the neighborhood. Then came the golf community home. People would swoon at the opulence of a group of affluent homes with perfectly manicured lawns huddling round […]

Life has a way of throwing you curve balls out of the blue. One day you’re riding high and the next you’re biting the dust of a human stampede watching everyone else pass the finish line. Life is like that, and no more so than the life of a realtor. Successful realtors have an amazing […]
Getting a house ready for sale is a huge task. A large number of people clean their homes and are surprised when prospective buyers are unimpressed with the décor and it’s finer points or the size of the garage. It takes effort to present any home for sale, but when you have a property designed […]
Buying any property is a big decision, but when you buy a property with your beloved horses in mind … it becomes a HUGE decision. There is much more to consider when you have barns, feeders and paddocks in mind – and ‘any old house’ just will not do. Does that mean buying a house […]
