Real Estate

santi — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:15:50 +0000

With the foreclosure rate rising and more and more people unable to make mortgage payments now seems to be the time to get my feet into the real estate business, homes will be selling for cents on the dollar in this area with a little help I could pick up a couple of very nice properties. I have found a new website to search the mls, Scottsdale Fine Properties has a lot of fine properties in Arizona and this is a place I love, I lived there for 10 years and would like to retire there someday, so buying real estate there is a smart move.

Mexico vacation

In August, every year before school starts back in session, we take a huge family vacation, mainly to let the kids have some fun before school starts. This year we are loading up and heading south to Rocky Point Mexico, this has been a vacation spot that I have wanted to go to since I was in school, many years ago.

This Rocky Point vacation is going to be one that we remember for a long time. We booked our travel with a great web site, Oceano Rentals has a vast selection of rentals on the beach and I was very excited with the price it was outstanding. They have everything from rentals to properties that the owners are trying to sell.

We will be staying at Casa de Dolphin Azul it is a beautiful brand new property that has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. It will fit our family of eight in it nicely. The trip will be one that the entire family will enjoy and the entire family has worked hard this summer and they deserve a nice trip before school starts. I think we will try and make this trip to Rocky Point Mexico a yearly trip for the family, it is so very nice to get away for a couple of weeks to a nice place that is right on the ocean.

New lighting

Our old house is in dire need of some new lights to brighten it up and after searching a lot of web sites, we have decided to go on the up side of lighting fixtures to add to the resale value of our home and to make it more enjoyable to us now.

Fine art lamps are the thing we are looking to add to our home decor, we found a great selection on Farreys web site and wanted to share them with you. Their web site has a wonderful selection of very nice lighting fixtures, everything from fine art to serviceable utility lamps.

Among the lighting manufacturers that Ferrey’s has on their web site are Ambience, Maxim Lighting, Murray Feiss, Flos, George Kovacs, Hinkley Lighting, Fontana Arte, Kichler Lighting, Minka Lavery, Quoizel, and Sea Gull Lighting. I can not wait to get started installing this fine lighting and make our home shine again.

Renting houses

Several years ago we bought three houses to rent out and it is terribly frustrating to try and keep up with all the tax and paper work associated with keeping rentals. I have found a great property management software that I have begun to use. Buildium puts the software out and it is so very easy to use and has all the information you need to manage any of your properties including condos or your professional lease management operations.

Check out the web site for this great property management software at http://www.buildium.com, see if it fills your needs to manage your properties.

On the move again

My gypsy mother is on the move again, she is selling her beach home and moving to New York City to be near her sister. I know she is having fun in her retirement and I am glad she is happy. I know searching for Manhattan real estate can be a nightmare. She will need the very best agent in the city to help her on this journey.

The agent she is using, Prudential Douglas Elliman is New York’s Largest Real Estate Company, and have 60 offices in the New York area. I have faith that they will be able to assist my mother in her new home search. 1 out of every 5 household does business with Prudential and I am happy to have that level of service for my mom.

My youngest sister has gotten herself a job in Dallas Texas and will be moving there as soon as she can get a home. She has enlisted the help of the Dallas Realtor Directory Website @ http://realestate.clicksmart.com. This great listing has all the Dallas Realtors for her to choose the one to help her find her new home. She has been very smart in using a Clicksmart Certified Expert to help her in this very important new home search. The Clicksmart Certified Experts sell 3 times more house on average than the normal Realtor. My sister has put this experience to work to find her new home.
