The 3 Essentials for selling your home

The Holidays are quickly approaching...I still can't believe Thanksgiving is a few days away. Here are some tips for selling your home and how to amp up your homes presence on the market during the Holiday Season.

Don't be discouraged..buyers looking at properties right now are serious buyers, so capitalize on that and make your home stand out. Will they remember your home after they have looked at 10 others in the same day (which I strongly suggest you NOT do). Check out my previous Blog posts on some quick and cheap tips you can do to get your home ready to sell.

3 essentials to selling your home:


1) Price
2) Shows well
3) Marketing - Find a great Agent and find out their marketing plan for your home.

Get all three of these and I guarantee you success. A great Agent is honest, so you might not like what they have to say, but their job is to sell your home, so trust in them.

Good luck!

Video of new Waterfront in Downtown West Palm Beach at the Green Market

Hi everyone...

Well, I wasn't able to get to all the great events in Palm Beach County that I mentioned in my last blog post because I worked a lot, but I was able to make it to the Green Market. I haven't been since it moved to the new Waterfront in downtown, West Palm Beach, so was very excited to check it out.   I shot some video so everyone can see how beautiful it is.  Such a great turnout with a lot more vendors than ever before.  What I love about the new location is that you can grab a croissant and a cup of coffee and relax in the grass area to watch the boats or just people watch while you enjoy the beautiful weather.  You can also bring the boat, the boat docs are FREE!  It's so good seeing downtown West Palm Beach alive with energy again.  Loved the cooler weather too, it gave me a chance to wear my new boots.  Don't laugh..when you live in South Florida, you don't know when you will have the chance to wear the sweater and the boots!!

Tips From A Local Girl - Fun Things To Do In Palm Beach County This Weekend

Hi everyone,  Very excited for all the happenings in Palm Beach County this weekend.  One of the things I love about Palm Beach County is that there's always something going on.  So, since I'm a Florida Native, I would give you some good ideas and a few tips as well.

This weekend on Nov 5th, 6th and 7th is the Feast of Little Italy in Abacoa in Jupiter, Florida.    One of the best festivals in Palm Beach County, in my opinion, and with the great weather we are expecting this weekend, it will be the perfect time to get outside to enjoy the great food and beverages.

Another thing I LOVE to do on the weekends is the Green Market in downtown West Palm Beach.  It's located on the new Waterfront.  You can get farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, baked breads, pastries, plants and gorgeous flowers.  It's on Saturday morning between 8:00-1:00 AM and it runs from October 16th thru April 23rd.   TIP - Parking is FREE in the Banyan and Evernia parking garages.  No need to spend more than you have to.  Another TIP - DON'T GO EARLY.  You can usually bargain down the items at the end of the market hours due to vendors wanting to get rid of what they have left.  Also, it's pet friendly, so brig the poochie, I do and he loves it.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you check this out. 


Also something I'm really excited about this weekend is the FREE 1st Annual Palm Beach Art & Music Festival in Downtown West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday from 4-11PM, November 6th.  It will have local musicians, entertainers, and artists! This FREE event (no admittance fee) presented by Art Nouveau Events and the Downtown Development Authority will feature a showcase of art, crafts, food and beverage vendors, kids activity center, VIP area, live music & entertainment, fire dancers, and more according to their website. 

With all the great musicians, art and food, you can't go wrong.


















So, get out there and enjoy all the great festivals and markets this weekend and in return support your community and local artists.   Plus with a few of my tips, you can keep a few more dollars in the wallet.
