Aguazeros

Or "Water Zeros" as we like to call them in the 305.

If you have not been hanging out in the Magic City the last couple of weeks, well you have missed some serious "Palmetto Pounders" as it has Rained like hell.

Last night in Coconut Grove it was brutal with even the Frogs looking for shelter.

Marry Christmas park looked like the Everglades (saw egrets and maybe even an Alligator in there...)

Unfortunately the heavy rains also brought out all the roofers in their living glory, so along with the normal weekday traffic we got a lot of pick ups with 20ft ladders in back; let the claims begin!

Rain, Rain go away.......please.

Coconut Grove Farm!

Ok, not really a farm but a Super Garden from the best third grade class ever!!!!

The kids at Coconut Grove Elementary really have a green thumb (and probably lots of other colors as they do a lot of finger painting), can't wait to taste the bounty of our (their) labor.....

Found One!

On your left is our new weekly "menu" board.

After an extensive search of about 2 minutes (hey I'm a busy Dude) on the internets, I was able to download it, manipulate it and post it. (I'm sure Microsoft will be calling soon)

As explained on a previous post, each week we will look a section of Miami (The Magic City) and update that area/section with real Real Estate info....or at least what I think is real.

If you follow my site/blog you should have realized by now that I think Real Estate is pretty much about Location and the Folks who Buy / Sell it and not about the product that they buy and sell.

Product is the same everywhere, some pretty, some not but at the end of the day it's concrete/wood and lots of shiny stuff....and apples to apples all that stuff cost the same.

So enjoy the Stats (they mean nothing) and pretty pictures and rest assured that if you like the Home you are purchasing you are pretty much over paying......it's just the way it is.

It never fails

We Super Realtors who have loads of Listings invite other Realtors to visit our Listings every Wednesday in a tradition know as "Feed me or I will not show up" Open House....

No really it's called "Broker Opens" and if you are from the olden days before the Inter nets/web, it was called "Caravaning".

Any hoo, it never fails that you plan for these opens, get some food, send out fliers and as soon as you hang the Open sign and unlock the door.........this guy shows up to clean the pool!

Dig the socks.....

Oh and you can also count on the gardeners showing up and using one of those obnoxisous gas powered leaf blowers to blow leaves/dust/small rodents all over the place.

Lunch anyone?

October 16th....

And I see this at the local hardware store......

WTF?

We have yet to dress like a Slutty Nurse/Doctor/Police Officer/Maid/Pirate/ETC for Halloween, we have yet to Fry/Bake/Brine/Saute our Thanksgiving day Turkey....

AND They have already set up Christmas?

This is just wrong in so many ways........Bah Humbug.

Talk about.....

I want to SELL!

Last night I was out with a Client showing properties and came to a Sale by Owner (FSBO) but listed on the MLS by some site no ones ever heard of and the Seller has to do the showing (I actually know the seller very well) and She had the best sales technique that I have ever seen in Real Estate.

While showing, She followed us around with a 'PACKED" suitcase!

Now THAT is a motivated Seller!
