Life post - Bestman!

So in the last week I have been so busy and have neglected the blog a bit!  Well what better way to make it alive again than with the announcement that I am now Best Man at David's wedding this October!!!  In a matter of days I went from wedding guest, to groomsman, to best man!  I'm pretty excited and to David - I love you buddy so thanks for giving it to me!

Of course now I have to think up a speech and soooooo many things have already come to mind, I'll keep it wedding appropriate ;)  While on the topic of David's wedding I am almost positive we have nailed down a lodging situation and I think it's going to be amazing. 

I think one of the best parts of real estate is getting to create my own schedule and hours.  I also love my office and knowing there is a great team of agents available to show a property for me while I'm gone puts my mind at ease.  Of course there is a little incentive :)

I should be holding an open house this Saturday in Live Oak Reserve.  Once I get the details I'll post them up, but Live Oak is a very pretty and sought after subdivision so check it out!

And as always, if you or anyone you know is looking to sell, buy or invest send them my way!

The seller's market

Over the last several weeks I have completed our new agent program titled "Ignite."  It was basically real estate boot camp and provides models and examples of everything in real estate.  Feeling comfortable with paperwork, the processes, and my role in a transaction I have set out to get some listings!

Well, Orlando right now is in a seller's market, meaning the inventory of houses on the market is low and properties are receiving multiple offers.  Mortgage rates are low and prices are affordable, many properties are selling at or above listing price.

Here is my call to action for you:

If you know someone whether it be family, friend, or coworker that is interested in selling (or buying!) share my information with them.  I work in a professional manner and consultation is free.

Here is a video reflecting housing trends from June 2012, still awaiting July results.
