Happy Birthday, Boo Zamek!
From Team JAB Boo Zamek jan 4
It's fitting that Boo's birthday falls on the first day of our warmest and sunniest season! Boo certainly has a lot to celebrate, including a growing community of more than 30,000 JABBERS who are committed to helping their friends and neighbors! Boo's talent for connecting people and her passion for her community intersected when she launched JustAskBoo five years ago. Today, Boo is widely considered an entrepreneur, philanthropist and community leader who created South Florida's premier online resource that connects in-the-know readers across four local markets.  To us, her ever-growing Team JAB, she is an amazing leader who inspires everyday. To her friends, Boo is fiercely loyal, kind and fun - she always puts a smile on everyone's face. And to her family, Boo is a beautiful person who is devoted to her two adorable daughters, Caroline and Aly, and her husband, Paul. We wish Boo a very happy birthday and a year full of love, happiness and success.

Don't Miss Out on Your "Grown Up" Time!
From Sharon Radell:  REPLY
As a working mother of two children, I know the challenge of finding quality childcare. Starting with newborn assistance and continuing through ongoing babysitting, last-minute sick care and scheduled nanny support, I wanted nurturing and loving care for my children. I built TLC so that families could have access to professionally screened caregivers. I personally interview and screen nannies so that you have people you can trust and count on - even on short notice. My A-list roster of screened nannies and sitters are here to help with newborns, toddlers, school-aged and special needs children. Click HERE for more information.*

How Hurricanes Can Affect Real Estate Closings

From Ashley Cusack, EWM Realtor:  REPLY

It's that time of year again! Hurricane season is here and we've already had two named storms. My fingers are crossed that we will be spared anything major this year but I always keep an eye on the weather because of the effect hurricanes and tropical storms can have on real estate deals. The rules have gotten much stricter and if there is a tropical storm or hurricane watch or warning issued by the NHC anywhere in the state of Florida, insurance companies cease binding policies completely until it has passed. So if a buyer and seller were ready to close but the buyer hadn't yet secured insurance and a tropical storm warning gets issued in Jacksonville, the closing would be delayed until that warning gets lifted and insurance gets bound. Insurance policies can be written and bound up to 30 days in advance of a closing, so don't delay! Visit my website HERE to learn more.*
