Here I Come...Fun in the Sun!!!

Vacation home Orlando here I come! Did you know that today Orlando's population is around 185,000 and Metro-Orlando is over 1.5 million!! It is by far the fastest growing communities in Florida...if not the entire US. And a large part of the business is geared towards tourism - giving Orland billions of dollars to the areas economy- offering many job opportunities to the people who live there. But Orland is a nice place just to live - it has a wonderful environment to enjoy and is a perfect place to raise a family. There are 7 counties in Central Florida and all offer a broad range of different life styles for any and all ages. You have the gated neighborhoods, gold course communities, rural communities, old-fashioned towns and many areas with great schools If you want the urban area - than head down to downtown Orlando. It has a mix of historic homes and luxurious condos with fabulous veiws of the city. It's seen growth too - with 19 new and conversion condo. There are also vintage homes in the historic part of town like Thorton Park, Lake Lawsona, Lake CHerokee, Lake Eola Heights and Lake Copeland. The downtown is really trdny with it's retailers, bars, discos and resturauns all within walking distance. And because you are so close to Lake Eola you can enjoy many festivals, gondola rids, and concerts. There is also a nice sports complets, theater and opera in the nieghborhood If you are looking for a family area - try Balkwin Park - a nice area with architecture touchs of the pre-40's. The Buyers Broker of Florida is always there to help and represent the homebuyer but not the seller. They understand house values, negotiations, creative stuff, option and all that that goes along with buying and selling a home.

If you are to move to Orlando - you will find that they do their best to negotiate the best terms for you -the buyer - they are not like a real estate offices that also list seller properties for sale and thus can not always represent buyers. They are friendly and helpful...brokers you can trust.
