Phewwww!  And good riddance!! I always get a little tingle in my step on November 30ths.   A busy season quantity wise, but luckily for us most of the storms had little, if no, direct impact on us this year. So, I guess it's time to stop humming my favorite Jimmy Buffet song, Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season (check out the nice video I found on YouTube), put the generator in storage and use all my batteries for Holiday presents. Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada I get asked quite a bit by Buyers about the effects of Hurricanes on our market here in the Keys.  My response is...they are a fact of life here. They are wound into the very DNA of Keys Living.  From the storms that ravaged to Spanish Fleet in the 1700's to the tragic Labor Day Storm of 1935 to recent tempests such a Wilma...

The buyer needed to sign Wednesday to keep their lock. The Seller signed Thursday morning at 9:30 AM in Miami. We asked that the person presenting the papers bring my check. They said they couldn't fund until the afternoon. Has anyone this happen? It used to be we would get a check at closing. Is this just laziness on the part of Miami Attorney's? The Seller had their money on Thursday…. Avoid  Fowler - White - Burnett , 1395 Brickell Ave Ste 1400 Miami, Fl 33131 “Olga” said she sent my check out Friday, I only takes a day for mail to get here from Miami. If it was funded on Thursday, why didn’t my check go out then?  No check Saturday, no check today. Be sure to avoid these people for your closings.

  112 Captains Court, Plantation Key, Islamorada-It's October, the winds begin to change direction, blowing more from the North, the tides pick up. The days get shorter. The air is... crisper with the scent of salt. The water...is magnificent. Hues from a palate that only Nature could create. The Kingfish and Mackerel start rolling back in. The Climate is Sublime. It's Fall in The Keys, and there is nowhere else that I would rather be!While folks up North are breaking out their cold weather attire, we are still sporting floral shirts and relishing the start of Stone Crab Season!If this cold weather season is anything like last year's. I believe that we will have even more interest in owning property here in The Keys!  Which leads us to Today's Deal.  A Fantastic waterfront coup by the l...

I have received a comment on just about every post I ever made this morning, which is really jamming my e-mail. Has any one else had this happen? Is there a way to stop it? Is some nasty person trying to sabotage Active Rain?
