FishHawk Ranch Becomes First Green Community in Tampa Bay Area

 

Congratulations to the residents of FishHawk Ranch, on becoming the first green certified community in Hillsborough County and the largest in the Tampa Bay area.

With nature being one of this community’s cornerstones, and with 25 miles of trails weaving through the community and 1,300 acres of preserved open space, they are proud to say that FishHawk Ranch has always been green. Now it’s official. The Florida Green Building Coalition* has certified FishHawk Ranch as the first green community in Hillsborough County and the largest in the Tampa Bay area. The residents take great pride in living in a green community, and they’ve been inspired to actively do their part to help keep it beautiful.W Read the rest of this entry »

Twitter as an Investment?

Those of you that are enamored with Twitter and those of you who like a good stock investment tip every once in awhile, take note.

On paper, it seemed like a match made in heaven: A partnership between social networking giant Facebook, in whom Microsoft (MSFT) owns a 1.6% stake, and micro blogging platform Twitter was in the works. Then Evan Williams took over as Twitter’s chief executive in October 2008, and tempting as it was, rebuffed a $500 million offer from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Williams had his reasons. The brains behind an earlier web 2.0 darling called Blogger — which allows average Joes to share at will and was sold to Google (GOOG) in 2003. Williams stated that he didn’t think Twitter was ready to be bought out, too much unfinished business.

Twitter and or Facebook may bare watching as an investment; no doubt some big fish, i.e. Microsoft or Google and other huge web related companies are circling. I have always been a believer in investing in companies that produce goods or services that the investor is familiar in. Many of us on ActiveRain are becoming more and more familiar with Twitter and can attest to its potential value, not only as a social networking tool and a micro blogging platform, but also as a potential investment.

The Palmetto Club at FishHawk Ranch – Lithia Florida

Palmrtto Club Verandah

FishHawk Ranch, an award-winning, master-planned community in southeast Hillsborough County, has a reception hall perfect for weddings, anniversary parties, company functions and special events. The facility features a 5,200 square foot ballroom that can be divided into three smaller rooms for more intimate gatherings. Spacious outdoor veranda and garden areas, a conference room, pre-function area, and catering kitchen all add to the versatility of the club. The facility is located conveniently, right in the heart of the community.

I have attended two functions at the Palmetto Club and they have both been awesome and first class in every way. If you have a wedding, reception or other function coming up, check this place out. I think you will like it.

The Palmetto Club is located at 17004 Dorman Road Lithia, FL 33547 and can be reached at 813-657-0062

Is your Brandon Area home getting ready to expire in the MLS?

If your home has been listed in the MLS, and it is getting ready to expire, I would like to make a few suggestions…

  • Get a new agent… May I suggest me…
  • Set up the new listing to begin the day after the current listing expires…
  • Go on a nice vacation for a few days…
  • Don’t forward your home phone to your cell phone… and you might consider NOT sending it to voice mail…

Why you ask?

Because it is going to get ugly. Read the rest of this entry »
