Holidays in the Florida Keys

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are gearing up for Christmas.  The locals are enjoying their last few weeks of calmness before the tourists arrive.  You know it is the off season when you can pull out onto the highway in less that 30 seconds.  The two weeks over the Christmas Holiday will be very busy down here.  The Northerner's are escaping the cold weather to come and enjoy our 80 degree days.  Our winter has been fantastic so far, 80 degree days, sunny, light breeze and NO humidity or bugs!!  Last night, I was sitting on my deck enjoying the full moon.

If you have any interesting or memorable Keys experience, please feel free to share them.

Winter has arrived!

Our first cold front has come through putting out temperatures in the 60's!  It is absolutely gorgeous here - we suffer all summer to enjoy these perfect winters.  Typical winter days are in the 80's, no humidity and sunny.  Now is a great time to open the windows and let your house air out, do some winter cleaning and get rid of the treasure's you have not used in a year.  Especially if you have going to sell, clearing your clutter is a must. 

With the Holidays fast approaching, the bustling is beginning.  We have many fantastic events that will take place over the next couple of months.  One of them is that it will snow in Islamorada on November 30th at Founder's Park.  There will be a snow mountain, as well as a Christmas shooting snow from it's branches.  The Islamorada Chamber of Commerce will be hosting this magical event.

Until next time!

Seller's need to take control

We are seeing more fraudulent real estate activity infiltrating into our Keys.  Seller's need to be aware and get control of the transaction.  One way to do so, is by paying for the Title Insurance.  Typically in the Upper Keys the buyer pays for their own Title Insurance.  With the Seller paying for the Title Insurance, they could stipulate where the escrow monies are held.  We have seen scenario's where out of state Title Companies are supposedly holding escrow but they actually do not have it and never did.  Having local companies hold the escrow will ensure the funds are actually there.  Monies held in escrow, are a Seller's recourse if the Buyer defaults on the contract.  Escrow monies could also be held at an attorney's office or a real estate brokerage.
