When you’re looking to buy a home, there is a lot of advice out there.  Some great and some not so great.  One thing that you can count on that is good advice is to have an inspection done on the property.  So what does this mean and who will do it?

We sat down with Bob Rains, Owner of Rains Property Inspections, to get answers to the seven most common questions buyers ask about a home inspection, details on how they are done and, most importantly, what value they hold in their home purchase.

What is a Home Inspection? 
Well, a home inspection is generally defined as a limited, non-invasive examination condition of the home.  Usually this is done during the sale of a property and conducted by a licensed, trained, and Certified Home Inspector.  A…

I just realized that I haven’t thought about the foods I miss from New York until I had to think about the foods New York is best known for. As a New York girl turned Floridian in 1991, I’ve officially been a southern girl longer than I was a New Yorker, however, you can take the girl out of NY, but you can’t take NY out of the girl. Whenever I think about New York, I immediately get a different accent in my head. Any other NY transplants do that?

There’s a lot I miss about New York and National New York Day (which I have no idea what that really means) is a great day to just reminisce on all things New York and point everyone in the right direction to find all the best NY foods right here in Jacksonville and The Beaches.

It took 762 days from land purchase to move-in. 762 days. That sounds like a long time - and it IS a long time! In those 762 days.....

  • We sold our home of 15+ years (which we loved) saying goodbye to the best neighbors ever
  • Moved into a less-than-optimal rental situation
  • I went back to work
  • We experienced a global pandemic
  • And, most devastating of all, we lost a family member far too young to cancer

To say these past two years have been stressful would be a gross understatement, but we made it. There were times I felt like my whole family hated me since taking on this project was all really my grand idea; the kids were miserable in the rental, we seemed to hemorrhage cash with every decision. I was busier than…

Buying a home can be an entire mix of emotions from excitement straight through to sheer panic, that's why it's always best to have a REALTOR by your side. A REALTOR will point you in the right direction every step of the way and stay by your side through to closing. Homebuyers, especially first time homebuyers, can feel overwhelmed in the process especially if they don't know what to expect. The REALTOR is your advocate, your concierge, your advisor, your 'manager' and sometimes even your therapist. Once you find the right agent, they will also connect to you a few of their most trusted lenders who can tell you everything you need to know about a home mortgage and what it takes to get…

So let’s get one thing straight, insurance is not boring! Says the insurance guy who loves talking about insurance and was asked to write a blog about it. Now let’s get real – it is boring – BUT it is important to know what you’re buying and what may not be covered and included on your policy. 

For guys like me who read through the entire insurance packet, I’m intrigued by the fine print. Because it matters. Reading this blog will allow you to bypass reading through that fine print and learn some interesting things you did not know! Keep in mind, the insurance industry is rapidly changing, so don’t use this as an excuse to not ask your agent questions.

Let's face it, our dogs ARE family and there's nothing more comforting than coming home after a long day and "Man's Best Friend" is there wagging his tail and showing us all the love, affection and loyalty that makes us forget about our wretched day.

I'll be completely honest, the best part of lockdown in 2020 was being home with my dog! Then suddenly I was faced with having to return to the office and looking into those sad eyes as I grabbed my keys and headed out for the day. Anyone else remember this or is it just me? It was the worst feeling ever! And somehow the days seemed even longer as I wondered what Joker (yes, that's my dog's name) was doing while I had ventured outside without him. I somehow knew he was sadly sitting on…
