Much Ado About Mulch: Everything Property Owners Need To Know in South Florida Mulch was nature’s idea way before it became man’s. Fallen leaves, pine needles, rotting wood and vegetation, rotting flowers, ripe fruit, rocks rising towards the surface of the earth – the ecosystem organically produces and disperses “mulch,” incorporating a protective coating towards the ground. Learning the different types of mulch and understanding how well to use them will enable you to assist Mother Nature and effortlessly beautify your lawn and garden. Why Should You Mulch? Mulching your soil could just be the most significant thing you can do for your property – not only for the planet itself, but also for anything growing there. When used correctly, mulch offers a multitude of benefits to homeowners... 05/20/2015

Tenant or Owner? With rental rates rising, a lot more tenants in Fort Lauderdale are likely to be wondering whether they should be taking a new look at their residence situation.   Conceptually, paying your own mortgage has always seemed more appealing than paying a landlord’s mortgage every month.   Especially this time of year, when tax time puts the whole year’s finances out there on one piece of paper, seeing how thousands of dollars have slipped away for another year can be a little frustrating.  Not surprisingly, then, this is a time of year when, as a buyer’s agent, I begin hear the phone ring a little more often!   Seen from the long term perspective, dollars put toward a home you are buying go toward building a future -- something rent dollars cannot do. But there are more int... 03/09/2015
