Thanks for the keyword tip Dan.Hi Dave, I like to have my properties no more than 10 minutes drive from my home.

Down here an ocean view can mean a lot more money, so it's well worth it to us.Aside from all the useful stuff, they're cool to operate.

If you called my office, I have 238 agents, but I would have 2 names at the tip of my tongue, because I know who does what types of business.You should have several referrals with a half hour of calls.

Appreciate all yr tips and comments :)

That sounds pretty cool.
