Clearwater Beach Realtors Lifestyle photos

Clearwater Florida is a great place to live. Especially this time of year my friends up north tell me that it’s “not fair that you get to sell Clearwater Beach real estate!” It’s a rough life but someones got to do it - and the fact that their are currently more and more bargains due to motivated sellers along with properties that are bank owned, pre-foreclosures and short sales means now is a great time to buy your resort vacation home (grin:-D).

I enjoy the fact that I get to spend most of my time sharing information about buying Sand Key or Clearwater Beach Condos that are for sale or what’s happening in our best neighborhoods like Grovewood where these Clearwater home owners are busy painting their new wall (spring fever is catching on).

Today I have been experimenting with ways to share my favorite photos (you know I have a lot of them) especially of Clearwater Beach Florida. I don’t know how many of you have ever used Flickr, it’s a free photo sharing service now owned by Yahoo. In addition several people have written tools to make your photos more shareable. I used on Flickr Album Maker and it also offers the option to create a Flckr Slide Show.

Clearwater Florida Election Results are In - Real Estate a Big Winner!

Vote Yes on Florida Tax Amendment 1Wow what a day - the great news is regardless of the results Pinellas County is reporting a 37% voter turnout - which tops even the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Primaries. I am an avid supporter of the the right and responsibility to Vote and have your voice be heard. 

So for all that voted - thank you for being part of our democratic process!! Amendment 1 did pass so for many of my clients looking to buy a second home or condo in Clearwater - they’ll be happy to know that the 10% per year tax cap passed for all non-homestead owners!

Many of us think it should have been 5% but our thought is half a loaf is better than no loaf - especially in this market! We’re making progress and the journey’s not over but I believe it’s moving in the right direction.  I’ve included full detail how to calculate your new Save Our Homes Tax Equity and Portability.

Clearwater Florida Real Estate Investors and Home Owners Could be Winners Tomorrow

Vote Yes on Florida Tax Amendment 1Tomorrow is more than just Super Tuesday in the Presidential Primary Election and local elections here in Clearwater Florida and the Beaches.

In the state of Florida we have another big issue that will get decided on by Tampa Bay residents - it is Florida Constitutional Amendment 1 that has 4 components that will affect our future property taxes if it passes with 60% of the voters voting YES!
Provision #3 is the one most of my real estate investors and second home owners are watching since it will provide much needed help to our non-homestead Clearwater Beach property owners.

Remember when you vote it’s ALL or NOTHING! If the Amendment passes it will be retroactive to January 1, 2008. So I will give you an overview of the four Provisions Amendment 1 covers:
