Rita's Water Ice

I admit it. I'm addicted. Being from Pennsylvania has allowed me the pleasure of knowing how good Rita's Water Ice is. Blueberry is our favorite. Whole blueberries floating in a purple ice filled with flavor, sweetness and goodness. If you are a purist, the ice is the way to go. For a taste sensation, you can get a Gelati where the ice is swirled with a rich custard.
Rita's has hit Central Florida with a storm. They have locations in Metrowest, Hunters Creek, Apopka, South Orlando with more on tap. You can even check out their website to see what each store's flavor of the day are. Go for the blueberry!

When you hear the word, "Agent", what comes to mind?
Hollywood Agent - Helping the stars get work
Insurance Agent - Helping people have security
Real Estate Agent - Helping people find their dream home
The point is that just the word Agent isn't enough. We need to be vigilant in getting our industry into the front of everyone's mind. We need to ensure that when someone hears the word agent, they think of us.

Every city has it's own version of the MLS. The better an agent is with this program, the more they can claim to be their own version of Inspector Clouseau.

Are you Truly Saving Money?

We have met many homeowners who look to rentals as a way to cover some of the costs of owning a home. Usually they have an investment property, a vacation home or have moved on to a new home. Renting is a great option however it does come with some challenges.
Owners must follow all of the Fair Housing Laws when it comes to finding a tenant. Screening for credit, criminal background as well as allowing "strangers" to enter your home could be risky.
Real Living Real Estate Solutions has a full service Property Management department where we take all of the responsibility for advertising and finding the right tenant for you. Licensed Real Estate Agents show the home at all times making your rental experience a good one. Real Living serves as a Liaison between…

People either love or hate sushi. Just ask your friends. At Real Living, we have the luxury of being just a few doors away from a true sushi experience. Mikado Japanese Cuisine with locations in Metrowest and Hunters Creek has a lunch special that can't be beat!
It's called a bento Box and for about 10 dollars you have 8 different choices of entree, 2 pieces of crunch rool, 1 piece of a spring roll, 2 pieces of Gyoza dumpling and a heaping portion of fried rice. As Rachel Ray would say..."Yummo!"
Sushi is an art form and Mikado takes this seriously with every presentation looking too good to eat. For you low carbers out there, their sashimi is also fantastic.
Stop by and get some sushi and bring it with you when searching for your dream home. We'll provide…
