 Please click on the words virtual tour to see the virtual tour.  I made this because I see this playground almost every day going from Fort Myers Beach through Bonita Beach.  The Lovers Key Playground is reletively new and I brought my son there a few times.  The slide was fun for him, and there is much equipment to be playeyed with there at the playground.  There are also benches and grills for barbecues and you are not for from Bonita Springs Dog Beach.  This location also lets you see much of Florida's wildlife.  You can get to this playground from Fort Myers or Estero by driving down 41 south to Bonita Beach Road and making a right.  Keep going and going until you see an open stretch of road with no homes.  That is Lovers Key.   View Virtual tour of Lovers Key Playground.  http://w...

For anyone listening to the news, it's like a crazy mixture of fairy tales - Chicken Little's sky is falling and the big Bad wolf is huffing and puffing, ready to blow the housing market away. The sad fact of the matter is that fear sells. More than that, as with any commodity, fear in the marketplace is a self fulfilling prophecy. Those who fear they will not be able to cash in on their home panic an put it on the market in the hopes that it will go, and those who were planning on buying, get panicked into waiting for prices to plummet so they can make a killing, but end up realizing too late that the prices aren't plummeting and sometimes wind up paying more for what they wanted to buy in the first place!It's been said that a silver lining can be found in almost any situation. The cur...

  There's nothing better than a pretty picture!  In spite of the media's incessant coverage of the down market, the savvy buyers and real estate investors are out there buying.  This is a one year graph for the Bonita Springs and Estero Florida areas.  There are really some great deals due to inventory excess - depending upon the neighborhood.  My single family home pick for a great neighborhood deal is:  Village Walk of Bonita Springs, a Divosta Homes Community.  There are exception deals in Grandezzain the neighborhood of Sabal Palm. A fellow REALTOR has had a price reduction to $260,000 on a turnkey furnished condo!  It's a heck of a deal!  The single family homes in Savona aren't too shabby either.

 Follow up post to: Susan G. Komen - Race for the Cure® - Coconut Point Mall, Bonita Springs, Florida  Well, it's over.  The fat lady sang, so to speak, and the old lady's limpin'.  I ended up running the race without the rest of the Keller Williams Running and Limping Club!This was the inaugural race for the Susan B. Komen foundation in SW Florida at Coconut Point Mall.  The turnout was huge.  Mammoth.  I couldn't find the rest of the runners and limpers that I knew.  I ended up running until I caught one of them with about 1K to go.The race is organized by the Fort Myers Track Club.  They do a great job.  I took a look at some of the times for previous races.  There was a 76 year old man that ran a 5K under 23 minutes!  Holy mole!  I have some work to do.  I am a little disappointed. ...

Today I attended an appraisal of one of my listings.  It was that little cutie in Bonita Fairways.  The condo complex is really called Rosewood Pointe, but it is next to and confused with another condo complex called Bermuda Links.  People think they're one and the same, even me at first.  I met the appraiser at the home today we spoke a bit about how the Bonita Springs real estate market was.  You know, the usual chit chat.  She has actually been busy.  It's not a deluge, but consistant.  I shared with her that I had activity, too.  She then explained to me that she has a lot of directory listings and a website and most of her work is attributed to those sources.  Then I volunteered that I have a fair amount of web presence and I'm busier than most.  We both agreed we were busy and hea...

Caution: Shameless beach promotion.  In an effort to quit taking our beautiful beach for granted I made the trek, a whopping 3 miles to the beach to catch the sunset last night.  It's the height of tourist season, so it wasn't as easy as it sounds.  There's only one road to Bonita Beach and I wasn't the only one with this brilliant idea.  My beach of choice is at the south end of Barefoot Beach, the state park with the toroise preserve.  It's a great park with restroom and shower facitilites, a snack bar, kayak and canoe rentals and of course the gopher tortoises are everywhere.  It's a gopher tortoise preserve.  This park is handicap accessible, also, so it's easy to also drag a wagon, stroller and various beach equipment to water's edge.More information about  Bonita Springs beach par...

 This morning I stopped by to take a few photos at the Relay For Life®.  It was held at the Bonita Springs YMCA on East Terry Street.  For the record, I actually had customers to work with this morning so I did not participate with the Bonita Springs Association of Realtors.  My daughter, Jennafer, was participating with her fellow members of the National Honor Society of Estero High School.  Her camera malfunction and she begged me to stop by and take pictures.  (I think she knows I always have my camera for blogging.)  So I swung by and snapped a few photos - two birds, one stone - and posted a blog to share the Bonita Springs Relay with everyone. The turn out looked great.  There were a lot of volunteers and a lot of SURVIVORS in attendance!  Unfortunately, there are still too many m...
