WATERFRONT HOME IN ARIPEKA, FLORIDA

Come home to old Florida - Aripeka.  This 3/2/ home with garages high enough for your RV and lots of room for storage and a workshop located on a canal where you can sit on your deck and watch the manatees and dolphins play.

Laminate floors, spacious bedrooms with two decks- 1 off the kitchen and 1 off the living room.  There is a boat ramp at the General Store where you can launch for $5.00.  The adjoining lot is also for sale which would give you approximately another 70 ft. of waterfront.

Home is located in Pasco County.

The home has been lovingly maintained.  Located near U.S. 19 with easy access to restaurants, shopping and the tollway to Tampa.  

                                                 WHAT TO BLOG ABOUT!

I took a class on blogging!  Thought this was going to open up a new world for me - one in which I would prose profusely online.  People would find my blog and want more.

The instructor said write something informative and interesting.  Hmmm I sell real estate in Spring Hill, Florida.  Our average sale price is around $120,000 on a good day:)  We do have higher priced homes here but so many of the homes selling now are under $150,000.

Our area does not have a strong job market.  We do have some companies in our industrial park.  They are smaller and while they do hire, it is mainly people already living here.

We have three (3) hospitals.  They are hiring, I would think.  People are always getting sick and getting hurt.  They have to have somewhere to go.  In fact, I would think there are more walk in clinics or doctor's offices for all kinds of ailments than there are gas stations.

So until I can write more interesting blogs, I will do some more reading and looking around to see what folks might like to read.  Something interesting and informative.

Great Deals on Florida Homes

Things in Florida real estate are HOT - HOT - HOT!! You would be amazed at some of the fantastic home values I can find for you in the Tampa Bay area - specifically Hernando County! I know a lot of people think that there are just a bunch of short sales available and that means having to wait forever to possibly get a house. That really isn't the case. Yes, there are numerous short sales to choose from - many are already listed at approved prices - many are not. There are also foreclosures or bank owned properties that won't take "forever" to close on. Then there are the gems!!! Houses that are being sold by the owner - no short sale - just a standard sale!

Vacation homes, income property, or a relocation to Florida.....now is the time to work with a professional Realtor. That's what I'm here for - YOU! Tell me what your needs are in a home and let my team do the leg work for you.....

Spring Hill, Florida

Spring is in the air! We are back to the reason people move to Florida - the weather!! I am talking about gorgeous blue-sky, sunny, high of 80 degrees, no humidity, and a light breeze. It doesn't get much better than this!

A lot of people have heard about the Weeki Wachee River and the infamous Mermaid show :) at the park. However, some may not know about some of the amazing things you can experience jusst West of the park. Heading out towards Pine Island from US 19, and hang a left onto Shoal Line Blvd. and you will see a number of kayak and canoe rental places. There is one directly across the river from Rogers Park (a small county park with a bit of beach front). You can rent a kayak or canoe for $15 (for an hour) and set of in either direction on the river. You can head towards the Gulf of Mexico or inland towards the spring fed waters.

The water, for the most part, is crystal clear, and the different types of fish you can see is simply breathtaking! During the cooler months you are almost certain to see manatee if you head towards the springs (water stays at 72 degrees year round). There are birds, small critters, beautiful plants, flowers, and trees surrounding you on both sides of the river. Everyone on the water is friendly and out there to enjoy themselves. You will find lots of parents with young children and can see the look of amazement in the eyes of a child as they see a fish swim by. Priceless.

In this economy it is nice to know that you can get out of the house and do something and experience new things without breaking the bank or using a tank of gas....because we all know we can't afford that these days!

Give our team a call today and see what great values we can find for you in the area. Now is a great time to purchase that second home - maybe even one on the Weeki Wachee River!!

Renting a home

Many people are finding great values in renting hoses these days....however as a renter you need to do your homework and not get taken advantage of. Even the most "aware"people can be taken for a ride. I don't want to see that happen and would like to get the word out!

The first step in protecting yourself is to contact a licensed Realtor in your area. It will not cost you (the renter) anything to use a professional - that cost is covered by the home owner. A Realtor that takes a listing for a rental is going to do their job and make certain that the person renting their home is actually the home owner. Unfortunately, with so many homes being left vacant due to foreclosure there are people taking advantage. They will break into these homes, change the locks, and then advertise them as being available for rent and "act" as a property management company. As a renter you would not know otherwise and can then be evicted by the rightful owners / bank, etc..

If you do answer an ad that is not through a legitimate Realtor (which you can verify with each State - most on-line) please take the time to verify everything that is on the contract you are signing. Make sure the person you are dealing with is the owner of the property or that they are legally representing the owner. If they are legitimate they should not have a problem with you contacting the owners. The owners of record can always be found on the local property appraiser's / records website. Make sure that is the owner listed on any contract you are signing.

Just do your homework....take your time...and if you don't feel 100% comfortable, look into it a little further or walk away :) As always feel free to call our office with ANY of your real estate needs.

Hernando Autism Walk

We are fortunate to have some very active parents in our community when it comes to children with disabilities. One organization, Parent Partners in Education, (formerly Special Students of Hernando) leads the rest in their efforts. Each year they organize and put on an Autism Awareness walk in the community to raise awareness for Autism and related disabilities. It is not a fundraiser but any money that is raised this group turns around and uses to benefit the local community. This year, any money raised will be used to host a workshop for parents and educators. The workshop will be tied in to Special Education.

So, if you aren't busy on Saturday March 26th between 9am and 1pm stop by Central High School and check out this annual event. It is a free, family friendly, fun filled day!
The website with all of the details is Hernando Autism Walk
Hope to see you there!
