JABBERS Bring Smiles to Deserving Children
From Team JAB 
We want to thank you again and update you on the adorable children from United Way of Miami-Dade's Center for Excellence in Early Education whom you generously helped during the holidays. Through our JustAsk charitable campaign, you JABBERS rallied to provide toys to make the season bright for numerous children who live at or below the poverty line. The children were incredibly thankful and they continue to enjoy their gifts. The Garotalo family said, "We are truly grateful for the gifts. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart." Thanks again, JABBERS!

To Rent or To Buy? By Ashley Cusack, EWM Realtors: REPLY  Have you ever wondered if in today's market it makes more sense for you to buy a house or condo than it does to rent that same place? Given today's rising rental rates, in some cases (depending upon if you have the money to put down or not) it makes more sense to buy a property than it does to rent a property. When you figure out all of your monthly costs associated with paying your mortgage, insurance, taxes, etc, it could turn out to be less money than what you'd pay on that same property in rent. The New York Times has a handy calculator that you can use to help determine if you should buy or rent - click HERE to give it a try!
