In Dallas, Texas, on October 26, a wonderful  thing happened.  In the heat and excitement of a real estate auction where hundreds of foreclosures were being auctioned off, a true modern day heroine bid on a house that saved another person's future.  The grief stricken owner sat crying as her home was being auctioned and a woman, Marilyn Mock, saw her tears and bid and won the house and turned around and gave it to the former owner as a...Continue Reading!

I  think it is important to be focused on the conditions in our immediate market and not let the dramatic news on TV and radio and the web affect our optimism that real estate both being bought and sold will continue in some form every day no matter what the news. Real Estate prices are lower than they have been for five years.  Excellent values abound and cash is king.  Many buyers coming in from South American, Brazil, in particular have...Continue Reading!

The grand scale development on the Gulfstream land in Hallandale is very ambitious with restaurants, casinos, apartments and entertainment.  It will add a very needed resort and fun feeling to the area which is sorely missed.  All the vacation fun and glamour of years long gone by never was replaced in the northern part of Dade County.
