Hard to believe Thanksgiving is here again. It seems the years are just flying by. I just love Thanksgiving and all the trimmings. My personal traditions include watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on TV (and dreaming I could see it in person one year), yelling like a kid when I see Santa and eating great food all day that my sister in law cooks. She is the best Southern cook anywhere! Of course, I am always thankful for my blessings and this year I am especially grateful for the support of my husband (big thank you!), family and friends while I work this crazy market. I am also grateful for all of my customers and what I learned from them this year. Here are a few things my customers have taught me this year:  1. Real Estate is not about you and your needs.  I knew this already... 11/25/2008

No...it's now a Wal Mart special....it's actually true....residents of Fernandina Beach will be able to "get a break" from our ever increasing property taxes. See article: www.fbnewsleader.com July 27, 2007 ("City Sets Rollback..." & "County Residents To Save On Taxes" ) "The value of local property has increased this year, so the millage rate is "rolled back" to keep property tax money from increasing in city accounts."  Property owners were certainly pleased that the "Fernandina Beach Commissioners voted unanimously to set a "rollback" millage rate for the fiscal year starting Oct 1, meaning its share of local property taxes will stay the same as last year." Some residents are concerned if this will effect the budget and services. However, everyone seems to be working hard in the city... 07/31/2007
