For the most part a lot of us have used Property Managers. It does not matter if you own or rent, they are there to make life easier for the owners and renters, as well.
A happy customer is one of the most powerful signs that a Property Manager does a good job with their services.
My criteria for a good property manager is that he or she should have strong communication and organizational skills.
Everything that goes wrong is the problem of the Property Manager and, again, he or she will have the most client contact when disasters occur. You have to agree with that. The Property Manager needs to perform well in crisis situations. Maybe even foresee the future. See when that hurricane is hitting the coast, or, closer to the mid-Atlantic states when will the next nor’ easter strike.
Having that in mind, I really would like to thank my latest advertiser, Beach House Management, LLC. This company is located at 777 E. Atlantic Ave., Suite Z-307, Delray Beach, FL 33483. Tel. 561-414-4329 or toll free 866-414-4329. Website is http://mybeachouses.com. E-mail is beachhousemgmt@aol.com. You can just visit their website by clicking on the banner located on the right hand side of this blog.
I have used this company for about 6 years. Believe me when I tell you that I have used every service they offer and even some that might not be advertised. I cannot say enough about Michael Keegan because not being able to be there to take care of the properties myself, he is the person that I totally trust. From hurricane shutters, mailing of boxes, car inspections, yard, plumbing, internet, cable, air condition, leaks, replacing doors, concierge services like the bistro service they offer, pick up at the airport, help after being locked out, and the list can keep on going. He knows who to call and get them there fast.
They can manage properties from Ocean Ridge to Highland Beach. So if you are thinking about a Property Manager and have a property that needs taken care of in those areas, please give Michael a call. I can assure you that you will not be dissapointed.
In the Delaware Beaches, you will find another great Property Manager. Her name is Debbie Dyer and she owns Coastal Home Services. The address is P.O. Box 3, Bethany Beach, DE 19930. Tel. 302-236-5065. The website is www.coastal-home-services.com and the e-mail address is info@coastal-home-services.com.
I also know personally this Property Manager. Debbie has that personal touch that makes you feel like you know her from the moment you meet her. She is very professional and will be able to handle your year-round property management requirements. The Delaware Beaches are very busy during the summer months. Renters come every week, so if you are renting your property, you need someone like her to be on top of things. You don’t rent your property but use it for your own enjoyment? She can arrange for private chefs, spa appointments, summer classes for your children, etc. But, if you visit her website, you will be able to find this info. and much more. And, if you have questions, give her a call. I am sure she would love to hear from you.
Property Managers give you peace of mind.
Talk to you later….

I am sure you have heard the kind of storm we have been having in the Northeast. Last night I had to go to BWI, which is the airport in Baltimore. The plane was delayed for an hour so it was arriving at 12:15 a.m.
I knew what kind of forecast was about to descend on us and I was hoping I would be ahead of the storm. I left Rehoboth Beach at 9:30 p.m. and did not get back until 5:00 a.m. today, Saturday. Needless, to say, no post was written on my blog.
But, what better oppotunity, at this time, to thank my newest Advertiser, Tauriello & Company. Tauriello is located on 900 East Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach, Florida 33483. The Tel. is 561-278-5570 and the toll free number is 877-509-8300. The website is www.tauriello.com.
One of the newest member of the Tauriello team is John Merryman, IV. He is bringing to the company a vibrant, pro-active approach to the market. He will work relentlessly to bring buyers and sellers together and live up to Tauriello’s motto of “Matching People with Properties”. He is specializing in east Delray and the beach area and belives that this is an excellent time to buy.
So, if you are looking to sell and would like a comparative market analysis regarding the value of your property, please call him at 561-573-8500. And, definitely, if you are looking for that warm property in the Florida sun, please talk to him, as well.
Thinking about the weather, leads me to show you the following pictures. Even though the winter ones look pretty now, the ocean and the beautiful palm trees look pretty enticing, don’t you think?
See you later….

September 17th, 2009
When I started this blog style website, my idea was to wait for a certain amount of weeks so people could read the style and direction I wanted the blog to take.
I think you can pretty much see where I am going. Therefore, I have decided to offer advertising on my site.
It is interesting to write, from a “local’s” point of view and from experience, but, don’t get me wrong, I am discovering new places as I go along. They also might have been here all along, but I just had not visited them. It is great to talk about them and by doing so you might want to come and visit us, here, in one of my beach towns.
The possibilites for promoting your business are endless on the internet. It is another way to reach a potential customer.
The ads on my site are stationary. No pay-per-click advertising or cost-per-clicks here. Just take a look right now at www.aboutmybeaches.com, and your ad will be the size of the ad you see there on the right. You will own it for the duration of the contract. People visiting my site will be able to go directly into your website.
Don’t have a website? Then, my webmaster will be able to put your business card right there, as well.
It really is not that expensive, think about it.
Prepaid Advertising Costs:
$300 for 180 days (6 months).
$500 for 365 days (1 year).
If you do not have a website and would like to advertise with your business card the cost will be:
$175 for 365 days (1 year)
