The first gas station ever was just approved for the Acreage in Palm Beach County Florida. This has been a long time coming. In fact, since I moved here to Southern Florida in 1995 there were residents who wanted a gas station in the Acreage. This gas station will be built in the Publix shopping plaza on the corner of Orange Blvd and Seminole Pratt Whitney Road in the Acreage. It is going to be a small gas station with only 4 pumping stations, 2 pump hoses on each side. Publix will be installing a generator at the gas station for after a hurricane hits and power is lost. One of the biggest concerns voiced by the residents of the Acreage in the western section of the unincorporated part of Palm Beach county was that after the hurricanes residents could not get gas without traveling for 1... 10/15/2008

Not Everything that counts can be counted...'                                 ---Einstein In the real estate business, or in life, we measure success by what what we have brought in numbers wise.  How much did you earn...what do you have? But, in reality no number is possible without the actions and behaviors that produce the relationships, the environment, and the personal balance that comes with living in those moments and time that make a true difference. From a practical point of view, look at it this way.  We celebrate at the end of the year how much a person closes, right?  But, consider this: What would they close with out listings and buyers? What listings and buyers would they have without marketing and networking? What marking and networking would be possible without a databas... 09/21/2008

The South Florida Science Museum announces they now have Free WIFI so that when you are there working while your kids are exploring you can open your laptop like I do and get some work done. They also added this really cool infrared lighting system in the aquariums so that you can see the sea life in both the day and the night. The science museum offers great homeschool workshops for children of all grade levels. Our son loves these workshops and had so much going to them last year. He studied magnets, rocks and minerals, solids and gas and other exciting learning explorations. The classes last about 2 hours so if you want to drop your children off you can or you can stay in the class. I like to stay because I love to learn and there is so much to learn.

Still having fun here. It helps to have good, solid relationships with all the players who could help with a possible real estate transaction.  The City's Historic Preservation Planner is working with me - and can't wait to see the property I saw and wrote about yesterday herself. You see, if someone wants to go through the designation process for this home as an individual site in West Palm Beach then they can take advantage of the City of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County ad valorem tax exemption (10 years of not being taxed on the value of the improvements to the property). That's huge! And to still find a little gem of something special and different...it makes it more valuable on the market. I'm also working to update and get current my personal historical site: www.floridahist... 07/21/2008

How much fun can a girl have in real estate?  It's not just about the potential income.  Not for me!  Because I'm the local history nut...... it's about helping to buy or sell a historic home - usually in a historic district in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida. So here's the fun part for me.  A potential Seller calls me and is in town and wants to talk about the prospects of selling a family home she owns.  She makes some reference that I, initially, write off as "yeah, sure" about the home having been a church. And it's not in a current historic district. Here I am this afternoon creeping around through the vines and vegetation enthralled.  Moreso, when I entered the structure.  We went in through the back door and saw the plaster falling off the lath, assessing the moisture... 07/20/2008

Hello All, My name is Martin L. Berze (Licensed Real Estate Agent For 10 years) and I would like to chat a little about the foreclosure market. We are entering into a time in the Real Estate Market that I believe no one has ever experienced. I personally have seen two downturn markets yet never one like this. No one person can say exactly where we are heading, no one has a crystal ball and can determine what is going to happen for sure! I would like to share a positive note to this heartbreaking housing market. "In the near future" when no one knows for sure, the foreclosure market will be hotter than a firecracker on fourth of July. There will be for sure a tremendous amount of homes people can buy for a fraction of what they were selling for in late 2005. This should have a major two ... 07/18/2008
