I feel like I could write a book about my experience in the past four months. On July 7, 2009 I received a phone call that changed my life, and for the good which my seem strange to some. The call was from my Doctor giving my pathology results showing I had neck cancer. The ride from that day until now has been eye opening, inspiring, and a lesson in giving. I can’t thank my family enough for their support and loving care. Thank you to my friends for their selfless giving my family experienced. As you can see on my Blog my daughter Liv is a new addition God so graciously gave my wife and I April this year. She and my wife were instrumental in my healing and getting back on my feet so quickly. I also want to give thanks to the Doctors and care givers who helped get through the treatments. I am back to work and very happy to help any persons looking to buy or sell Real Estate in South West Florida. I promise if you don’t watch the news everyday life is better than they make it out to be. Housing inventories are on the decline in Sarasota County and that is one of the best indicators you can point at showing the market in heading in the right direction. The foreclosure market is cyclical. What does that mean? It won’t last forever. God Bless and Thank You for reading my Blog.

Venice Florida and surrounding areas still have a market with active buyers and plenty of sellers adjusting their price to produce a sale. The month of November was very productive for me and my fellow associates. I wanted to bring this good news to my web traffic so they can accurately speak about the market. I run into the general public and agents for that matter that make strong statements like the following.

Nothing is selling, this market is horrible; did you see the news today.

To them I reply. Let me be the first to give positive news, there is activity in the Real Estate market and during a recession people do not stop buying and selling. I am not candy coating the present market situation, but I have found that wearing your blinders and focusing on the positive is a lot better that affirming that the market is bad. Do your self a giant favor, if your thoughts are less than cheery about the market.

STOP WATCHING THE NEWS EVERYDAY!

The market will not change over night. Do you need to hear about it 24 hours a day? What goes up must come down and vise versa. There is money to be made in this market!

Any property located on salt water with access to the Gulf of Mexico provides fishing opportunities from the backyard and everywhere in between out to the Gulf. I’m posting a photo with this message from my last fishing adventure just outside Stump Pass in Englewood. Anyone interested in fishing my Real Estate Territory needs only ask and the trip is on the schedule. It’s really the best way to see what South West Florida is all about. Any time of year there is a species to target in our local waters. Remember a bad day fishing is always better than a good day at work ;)

Let me know how I can help.
