Refinancing Refinancing your home can be an excellent way to bring down your monthly mortgage payment, raise cash, or consolidate debts with high interest rates. However, you need to do your homework before deciding to refinance. One important factor is the difference between current interest rates and the rate of your original loan. You also need to take into account the amount of time it will take to recoup the costs of refinancing. When should you refinance? Some common reasons homeowners refinance include: Lower monthly mortgage payments Convert an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage Raise funds for family expenses (i.e. college tuition) Pay off high-interest loans Home improvements The old rule of thumb is that you should refinance your home if interest rates fa... 10/12/2009

For those who haven't visited recently, Punta Gorda's downtown really has a new look and feel. Recently, we celebrated the 5-year anniversary of Hurricane Charley and it caused many of us to look back on the last five years and reflect on all of the changes that have happened in a relatively short amount of time. As difficult as it was in the days immediately following the hurricane, it is hard to believe how far we've come. Punta Gorda has seen two, new luxury waterfront hotels pop up in the historic downtown area plus a multitude of new restaurants, each with their own unique appeal. In many ways, Punta Gorda is more charming and beautiful than ever. The Saint Petersburg Times ran an article that highlighted the amazing revitalization that has occurred in Punta Gorda. I highly recomme... 08/31/2009

Properties are moving!! And some are moving at an unbelievable rate. I won't be the one to say that we're going to see a steady uptick, however -- today is fabulous and that is fantastic. Congratulations, SW Florida!! 05/07/2009

I spend a lot of time out and about in Deep Creek. It's a fairly small area and I feel I know it fairly well. But the other day, while out in deep Deep Creek I had an epiphany. Deep Creek is actually several neighborhoods rolled into one. Earth-shattering you might say (with tongue firmly in cheek!). Bear with me. It's true though! Take the most southerly area. It's a very mature neighborhood. Homes have been here since at least the early eighties. That means they're approaching 30! Not such a young new neighborhood as us Deep Creekers are apt to boast. I do admit that is a thoroughly civilized part of Florida with many lakes and the few trees left that made it through Hurricane Charley. The easterly area, just off rampart Boulevard is an area of fairly new development, mainly condos an... 02/12/2009

  Today was a great start to the new year! I got good news and opportunity in every avenue I ventured. I accepted a job that I have security in for weeks to come and I am very excited about it! Its only a couple days into the new year and things are already picking up. I feel great! How about you? 01/05/2009

Sometimes we do things that we dont think about and jump into something we dont want. Its crazy how we make the same mistakes over and over again. It sucks when we see that we have fallen for the same thing over and over. What can we do about it? Lets try in 2009 to make better decisions about what we do and take responsibilty for what we have done. Trust me life will be better if you try this...... 12/27/2008

It's been a long while since I took to the keyboard to pontifiicate on Southwest Florida Real Estate goings-on! If anything the outlook has deteriorated since my last post of well over a year ago. The economy has soured. Bank bailouts, auto bailouts, mortgage meltdowns and credit cruches. Sounds like a breakfast cereal. Despite all the bad news, there is a glimmer of hope out there! Seems like a bunch of far-sighted individuals are starting to see some value in the market. And what's not to like if you're a Value Investor. It is indeed 'kid in a candy-store' time for those who can see the value - and have some cash! Also there is a glimmer of hope emanating from our friends in the mortgage biz. Seems like refinancings are going through a mini-boom of sorts. Well we're still a longway fr... 12/25/2008

My family back in southern New Hampshire has been without power and with cold winter temp's since last week's severe ice storm. I feel for them, I really do. This is the time of year they want to be here. I don't blame them. That is why I moved here almost fifteen years ago. I could no longer take the long, cold winters in northern Vermont. What is interesting is Florida has four seasons too, although much more subtle than most areas of the country. I love all the seaons here. Summer is a favorite. Yes it get's hot July through September, but the afternoon showers cool it down to a comfortable range by late afternoon, early evening. In fact I find it hotter up north in the summer, because the haze tends to hold in the warm air. Many of those residents still don't have central AC. The ai... 12/17/2008

As I was going out for my early morning jog the other day I reflected on life in my hometown of Deep Creek, Florida. This is a particulrly nice time to be in Florida, particularly if you're a runner. It's crisp and clear and the temperature can range from frigid (by Florida standards) to toasty (by Minnesota standards). Nevertheless it was a pleasant morning. Running down Nuremberg Boulevard I see the faces I see every day. The little old ladies taking their dogs for 'walkies', the elementary school kids waiting for the bus along with their bleary-eyed parents. The traffic is fairly light this time of morning - which is one of the reasons I like to run at this hour. I keep my eye out for my favorite encounter of the morning - the two kids (probably high school) who blow their loud and o... 12/13/2008

Straddling Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, Florida, nestled in between the beautiful Peace River and popular Kings Highway is Deep Creek - a gorgeous deed restricted community.  I have had clients who, having just moved to this area, didn't know that Deep Creek was anything more than a creek!  The truth is that it's so much more... Deep Creek is bordered by the Deep Creek Preserve, which is a 2000-acre park with miles of trails that wind through the beautiful forest.  Plans for the future include horse trails and campsites to be enjoyed in Deep Creek Preserve.  Deep Creek has wide open spaces and direct access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands.  While Deep Creek is known for its natural beauty and freshwater lakes, don't forget about the golf course!  Designed by Mark McCumber, a... 07/21/2008

All was not well in Paradise. Burnt Store Marina is the crown jewel of the Burnt Store corridor. This beautiful gated community contains the largest deep water marina in Southwest Florida, a waterside restaurant, a 27 hole executive golf course, a fitness center, tennis courts, walking and biking trails and more. Its residents enjoy a quality of life that is hard to find anywhere else. The community had successfully recovered from the spate of Hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 but it looked unlikely that it would be able to overcome the even greater devistation in 2006 when their beloved 27 hole executive golf course was unexpectedly closed.  The owner of the Amenities had decided to close the 27 hole executive golf course at Burnt Store Marina without notice. There were several parcels that ... 07/10/2008
