It comes as no surprise to Tampa residents, but Forbes has recently named Tampa the best city to live in Florida.
Forbes noted Tampa Bay's pristine beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, major sports teams (Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Buccaneers, Tampa Lightning, and Tampa Bay Rowdies), history museums, platforms promoting the arts, and impressive public transportation options.
We are sure Tampanians like the recognition the region has been getting in recent years, as this hidden secret gem becomes no longer a secret.

You've just past your state real estate exam, or perhaps you are thinking about getting your real estate license. Let us help set your expectations, or at least point you in the right direction for your real estate career by busting a couple of myths about being a REALTOR.
This sounds great in theory, but we would argue you probably have at least two bosses overseeing the work you are doing. First, you customer or client. If they don't approve of your work, you will get fired, and they will find someone else. Sure you can choose not to work with the client as well, but it's generally harder to find a new client early in the business that's looking to buy or sell a home in the near future than it is for them to find another…

It's national taco day, so it seemed only appropriate to talk about some of our favorite taco destinations around town.
Having spent the majority of my 20's traveling around North, Central, and South America...I inherently learned to take tacos seriously! I experienced firsthand that often the best tacos do not come from fancy restaurants, as it's the ultimate street food. For purposes of this list, there will be no chain restaurants mentioned. I generally judge tacos on their tortillas, salsa (bonus for good salsa verde), and either carne asada, or fish. Sorry, if you make the most amazing vegan or chicken tacos, I just haven't experienced them.

As a REALTOR, we have our own language that we use every day, but for the general consumer that isn't buying or selling real estate often, the terminology can get a little confusing especially when other areas of the country may have a different process or vocabulary. Hopefully, this helps!
Escrow Deposit (aka Good Faith Deposit, Earnest Money Deposit or Escrow Money Deposit, EMD)
An escrow deposit is a sum of money you put down to demonstrate your seriousness about buying a home. It is typically held by a 3rd party, such as a Title Company, Attorney, or Real Estate Brokerage. It can be held at a different location than the Closing Agent (agents please understand this). The time to place escrow is negotiated between Buyer and Seller and is noted…

Writing this neighborhood spotlight is special for me. Harbour Island is the reason I moved to Tampa in 2007. At the time, I could live anywhere as I was playing professional racquetball and resided in Naples, FL. Naples was great, but I was craving something more of city life, and I started looking to move but wasn't sure where. The east coast of Florida wasn't quite my vibe and happened to be invited to conduct a racquetball clinic at Harbour Island during my off-season. I drove up to Tampa, and instantly fell in love with the city, people, and atmosphere. The setup was perfect for me. I could walk to Harbour Island Athletic Club, Tampa International Airport was 15 minutes away with more direct flight options than the other cities I had lived in, and I…
