give well

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Gift baskets have long-been considered an edible gift. Think about it: when you think of gift baskets, don’t you think of fruit, or snacks? Generally, a gift basket has been thought of as little treats that loved ones can eat. But it doesn’t have to stop there. Why not give a flower basket as a gift?

            Flowers are a fantastic gift, and always have been. They beautify a room, serve as a lovely centerpiece on a table, and add subtle aromas to the air. So add these great elements to your next gift basket! Send a fruit basket complemented by a dazzling array of flowers. Nestle that bottle of wine in a basket filled with a lovely bouquet. Adding flowers to a gift basket arrangement adds class, beauty, and elegance to an already great gift.

            You can even combine the two further: order a flower basket! A flower basket can remind recipients of the innocence of flower picking in days gone by. It’s a simple change, but it can affect the entire appearance of an arrangement.

            Combining a flower arrangement with a gift basket can create the perfect gift for many special occasions. Think about including flowers the next time you order a basket!

Best Real Estate Broker in Charleston?

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Whether you’re buying or selling a home, whom you choose as your real estate broker or real estate brokerage makes all the difference in the world – whether in a buyer’s market or seller’s market, bubble or bust. It is important that they be a licensed realtor. This means they will have an understanding of how to value luxury, historical, or other specialized properties. In Charleston, real estate agent Lee Keadle gets my vote for the best. He has helped me buy and sell four homes, and each time I have sold for more than I asked and paid less than was asked for each home – truly a midas touch.

One trend in the recent slip in median home prices is easily seen in Charleston. Luxury real estate prices seem to have been untouched by recent declines, as the few “haves” continue to try outbid one another for choice properties. Beachfront, waterfront, near the college, or near the hotels, luxury real estate across the board in Charleston is the bubble that keeps growing. When will it burst? If the past is any indication of the future, the answer is that it probably won’t.

Florida homes

Monday, May 19th, 2008

As far as real estate goes, the news in southern Florida these days revolves around Palm Beach, Miami, and Jacksonville. But little sub-suburbs if you will are sneaking under the radar. Take Boca Raton, Jupiter, and Ponte Vedra, FL. Real estate prices in these affluent communities have stayed about flat or even risen while the bigger centers which they surround have seen fast downward spirals in prices. Be it beachfront property, a condo, apartment, single-family home or small business, the best real estate agents will get you more in places like Ponte Vedra or Atlantic Beach than they’ll be able to fetch in, say, Palm Beach.

Jacksonville Real Estate

Monday, May 19th, 2008

While half-built condos in Palm Beach, Del Ray, Boca, and Miami have seen drops in asking price of over 30% in many cases, one area where condo prices have held up nicely is Jacksonville. Florida Real Estate is not necessarily all connected, one broker explained to me. The biggest factors in determining prices on new condos are supply and demand, sure, but one the big driver is not the supply built by new builders but the demand shifts caused by demographic changes. In Jacksonville, the economy has grown tremendously as a function of college graduates not wanting to move from this relative young person’s paradise. That translates into a cheap work force, which brings in more employers, which creates a greater demand for decent condo-style housing. This, and not a lack of supply, has been the driver of prices in Jacksonville, and that is why condo prices there will continue to increase.
