Surf Fishing in Brevard County
Sunday, January 29th, 2012 at 10:46am. 287 Views, 0 Comments.
Well folks, its the end of January and the fish are jumping more than ever in Brevard County. The Whiting fish are out as well as Pompano and Blues. Cast a line or two or three and set it in a pole holder and watch your line bobble up and down! When you see movement other than the movement of the tide, reel it in. Most likely and without you feeling it, you will have something at the other end. Probably a Pompano at this time of the year or Whiting. You never know, could be a big Blue Crab or Salt Water Catfish.
If your looking for more of an active fishing experience put a silver spoon on and cast until you catch a blue.
Some people like casting out, sitting back, relaxing and waiting for that catch. Others, as I do, prefer the continuous casting out…
Something to consider: Utilities on or off?
Friday, December 2nd, 2011 at 2:37am. 561 Views, 0 Comments.
So I have a been working with a client that is from out of country and I have shown over a dozen homes to in the Melbourne area. At first she was convinced that it was a short sale she was looking for. A nice home for a nice price. Wow, that would be terrific! It wasn't until about the third house that she was shocked with the condition of most of them and she quickly learned the difference of short sales and regular homes on the market.
One question she kept asking was "are the utilities on"? "How can I tell if there is a leak anywhere if I can not have the water on"? Ahh. Bingo. Brings to mind a question. Should homeowners leave the utilities on while trying to sell the home?
Of course every situation is different and is on a case-by-case basis…

Well, Beth Glover with National Realty of Brevard, Inc, has a plant nursery where she grows native and tropical plants and opens her gardens to the public once a year to show her customers what can be done with the “right plants in the right space”.
Why plant native plants in your yard? With a good landscape design, they should reduce cooling and heating costs, conserve water, use fewer fertilizers and improve the appearance and usefulness of the landscape. They provide a screen for privacy, shade for comfort, and provide cover for the wildlife.
Did you know that how you care for your yard affects our local water bodies and water quality? When it rains and the water runs through your yard and down the storm drain, it may ultimately end up in the Indian…

Call your lender immediately to see if they can offer a solution. Next, start a to-do list so that you will be ready to answer any questions your lender may ask.
Start a file for records relating to your property. Keep very detailed notes of all the contacts you make, including the date you called and what resulted from the conversation. Collect your proof of income, photocopy at least 2 weeks of pay stubs, 2 years of taxes, and 2 years of bank statements or other benefits you receive. Having good records readily available is very important.

Fishing In Brevard County
Thursday, July 14th, 2011 at 7:01am. 1360 Views, 1 Comments.
For sometime now, friends and family have been asking me to go fishing with them. They would go day or night, weekday or weekend, from dusk to dawn it didn't matter. Being the "sterotypical" woman I was hesitant for a long time until I heard about the fun they were having and what they were catching. They had been shrimping and fishing in the Banana River as well as the Indian River both located on the East Coast of Florida. Did you know that you can catch shrimp in these rivers by traps and in the hundreds sometimes in just a few hours? These shrimp are no little guys either, they are jumbo shrimp and delicious! I didn't know until I tasted them at a friends house and "WOW" they were delicious.
You might be thinking to yourself "I'm not eatting…
