Six Excellent Reasons To Get An Appraisal
August 12th, 2009 Categories: Brandon, Tampa, Valrico
Every year, countless people in the United States buy, sell or refinance their own slice of the American Dream. Most, if not all, of these transactions include a simple line item for an appraisal. It has become an understood and accepted part of a real estate transaction. “Let’s bring in the expert and make sure we’re not spending too much on this property.”
But is this the only reason to get an appraisal? Are there other times when the services of a certified, licensed, independent real estate professional might come in handy? You bet.
PURCHASE OF A HOME- One of the most important issues involved in purchasing a property is developing an opinion of what it’s worth so that you can make an informed offer to purchase. A professional appraisal report performed by a qualified, state-licensed appraiser can provide you with an objective, third party opinion of a property’s current Market Value. And for the small price of this service, you can give yourself “peace of mind” prior to making an offer to purchase that you’re offering a fair price for the property. Read the rest of this entry »

Foreclosure in Valrico FL 2200 Square Feet $137,500
April 6th, 2009 Categories: Foreclosures/ Bank Owned, Real Estate Investment, Valrico
As a new service provided here at Diamond Dwellings in Brandon, we are already seeing ways to change our service. First we will be inlcuding the date posted in the body of the blog. Foreclosures are selling quickly right now. For example our previous post still on our site has a contract pending. We are looking at ways to update the video to show that the property is not longer available.
Feedback has been positive on our rating system of “A Real Gem, A Diamond in the Rough and A Lump of Coal” and we will continue to give them a rating, but remember the value of a diamond is in the eye of the beholder.
Today’s property has been on the market, but has been drastically reduced by the lender and that is what caught our eye. This listing began at $169,000 was quickly reduced to $147,000 and now sits at $137,500. For a tour of this home, please take a look at this 6 minute video.
As of this posting 4/6/2009 the following property is still actively listed.

Sweetbay Supermarkets closing 3 stores in East Hillsborough
January 19th, 2009 Categories: Brandon, Valrico
Sweetbay Supermarkets opened its first store in Largo, Florida in November 2004. Today there are 107 stores as far South as Naples and North to Gainesville.
Tampa-based Sweetbay Supermarket will close seven underperforming grocery stores, including three in Hillsborough County, advised a company spokesman for Belgian parent, Delhaize Group. The remaining four stores targeted for closing are in Fort Myers, Sarasota and Charlotte County.
The three Hillsborough stores are located at 1247 Kingsway Road in Brandon, 1101 Bloomingdale Ave. in Valrico, and 789 Cortaro Drive in Wimauma near Sun City.
Sweetbay plans to open three new area stores in 2009. One is in Hillsborough on Bruce B Downs, another is in Tarpon Springs and the third is in Clermont, a western suburb of Orlando. Sweetbay employs about 8,500, and currently operates 108 stores, including 47 in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, with another six in Pasco.
Sorry to see you go, I liked the store on Bloomingdale, but the store in FishHawk Ranch is still open.

A Special Valrico Florida Listing!
January 7th, 2009 Categories: Brandon, Valrico
Valrico Beauty, Now Available
Even in this market where there are plenty of houses for sale, every now and then we come across a listing that is special. And this listing happens to be with us!
What makes it special? Not just the price! This house is immaculate. A Chinese proverb claims “A picture is worth 10,000 words,” but a picture could never properly describe this house.
But, we are going to try, so take a look at our digital flyer and be sure to look at the pictures and the pricing information.

Twitter as an Investment?
December 14th, 2008 Categories: Apollo Beach, Bloomingdale, Brandon, FishHawk, Real Estate Investment, Riverhills, Riverview, Valrico
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.
