Paying it Forward
From Marlyne Padilla: REPLY My mom is a breast cancer survivor and in anticipation of her losing her hair during chemotherapy, our family pitched in and bought her a really nice wig.

If you know of anyone, please let us know! |

He has the skills, patience and sense of humor to work with children and teach them not only how to swim but to enjoy the water. We can hardly wait for our ten-month-old to start classes with him this summer," says Iris K. Call Tall Thom at 772.618.3599 or email HERE.* |

The Evolving Home Search
 From Ashley Cusack: REPLY
We are having to get creative in today's real estate market more than ever before. With such low inventory and so many buyers out there, you have to think outside the box! Many of my friends have told me about receiving letters in the mail from agents or buyers interested in their properties. I have sent similar type letters out for my clients, and in a few instances, these letter writing campaigns have resulted in sales. We continually reach out to agents asking if they have new listings coming up or have heard of people considering selling. You have to beat the market in a sense - once a listing is on the MLS, it's almost too late! As I've said before, if you are considering selling, I encourage you to contact me. I have a handful of buyers ready to go - we are just waiting for the right property to come along! To learn more, visit my website HERE.* |
