Would You Like To Live On ‘Happy Street’?

I was at “Books and Books” last weekend and lucky for me owner Mitch Kaplan was there too (which puts a whole different spin on reading and book buying). We got into a conversation about some mutual friends and their children, and Mitch said he calls the street the friends […]

Will You Please Watch This Video and Ask 2 People To Do The Same?

http://www.millionjobsproject.us Did you know that in buying one additional American-made item in every 20, or so, products you purchase it will result in 1 million jobs for Americans?

Supermoon at Matheson Hammock!

[space]I went to Matheson Hammock Sunday night to see ‘Supermoon’ 2013 and found myself at a spontaneous full moon party in the parking lot.

Are Your Patio And Pool Ready For Summer?

It is unofficially summer! School’s out, HEAT’S up (pun intended!), and don’t those outdoor patios in Frontgate, Grandinroad, Pottery Barn, & Restoration Hardware look divine? I renovated my pool and patio last year and enjoy them SO much more. I just finished the Lease for a great outdoor […]

I WANT TO DANCE WITH DWAYNE WADE TOO!

Dwayne Wade Surprises Miami Senior at Prom I would also like Nicole Muxo to consider joining my real estate team in about 5 years – with that kind of tenacity and out-of-the-box thinking she will be a super star in real estate. College first, Nicole! It would be a shame […]
