- Property Listings - For Sale
- Property Listings - For Rent
- Large Land Parcels For Sale
- Hot Condo Conversion Deals

We hope this email finds you and yours well. It's been a little
while since our last broadcast, but we wanted to bring you up to
speed with various happenings, including some major tax cuts here in
Florida.

First, we are no longer with Coldwell Banker, but now are both
Brokers in our own firm - Aqualand Realty, Inc. Second, we now have
a total of 9 agents and 3 brokers in our firm. Third, Branon is also
a licensed Mortgage Broker. And Lastly, we have a new Blog!

Needless to say, these are all very positive changes. We still
provide the same property marketing services we have in the past,
but now we have expanded to include a variety of new services as
well. Simply put, we're not aware of another real estate firm in
Florida that offers the marketing reach that we do now with our own
company.

Check out our marketing guarantee page:
http://www.InvestFloridaRealty.com/guarantee.htm

Aqualand Realty is an established firm with our partner, Betty
Twigg, also at the helm as a qualifying broker. Aqualand has its
home office in Saint James City on Pine Island (near Cape Coral/Fort
Myers), but we still live and work in Hollywood. We have agents on
BOTH Florida coasts and plan to open our East Coast offices before
the end of the year.

Jelena and I still focus on real estate in Broward and Miami-Dade
Counties, and we feel that having the West Coast connection is a
tremendous benefit for our customers. In addition, several of our
agents are multi-lingual so we can assist customers whose primary
language is other than English, plus expand our marketing into
additional areas like Latin America. Our agents speak English,
Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Our website remains the same:

Aqualand Realty also has its own site:

PROPERTY TAX CUTS IN FLORIDA - LARGEST TAX CUT IN FLORIDA HISTORY

There has been a lot of buzz here in Florida over the last few weeks
and specifically the last few days about property tax cuts, and for
good reason. There has also been much speculation as to how the
state legislators plan to provide some property tax relief to
Florida property owners, but the proof is in the pudding.

The Florida State Legislature passed the largest property tax cut in
state history on Thursday, which will apparently result over $31
Billion in tax cuts and saving the average taxpayer about 7% on
their property taxes this year. Before we start jumping for joy,
it's important to note that there's an amendment to the State's
constitution involved, which won't happen until 2008.

In the area of immediate tax relief, cities and counties will be
required to reduce their tax rates based on past history. This
varies from municipality to municipality and is a bit much to
explain in detail except that it should result in over $15 Billion
in tax cuts over five years for all property types, including
commercial and non-homestead properties. In short, cities and
counties that increased their taxes dramatically between 2001 and
2006 will have to make the most dramatic cuts. The higher their
increases during these periods, the more they're required to cut.

IMMEDIATE TAX RESULTS
This provision starts immediately by making 2007-2008 taxes equal to
the 2006-2007 rates, except for new construction. Future tax rate
increases will be tied to the annual growth of Florida personal
income so that rates maintain some semblance of fairness and logic.

The proposed $16 Billion constitutional amendment should be set
before voters in January 2008. The amendment essentially does away
with 'Save Our Homes' and replaces it with a 'super homestead
exemption'. This SuperExemption apparently will exempt 75% of the
first $200,000 of homestead value and 15% of the next $300,000 with
everyone getting at least a $50,000 exemption. Folks who are
currently protected by 'Save Our Homes' will apparently be given the
option of keeping their current status or changing to the
SuperExemption. Provisions for affordable housing, low-income
seniors, and working waterfronts are also provided. Scroll down for
a link to an easy-to-read chart of changes.

Property tax cuts are fantastic news for Florida property owners and
may be just the impetus Florida's real estate market needs to kick-
start the housing market once again.

We have already been receiving emails left and right from various
real estate experts over the last few days about the positive impact
these property tax cuts will have. Still other investment groups are
compiling their cash in an effort to 'stock up' on the great deals
that are presently on the market.

Many first time home buyers and the thousands of folks moving to
Florida each week area also on a buying spree in trying to take
advantage of the unusual opportunities being offered by the market.
Foreclosures, bankruptcies, rising adjustable mortgages, and
motivated sellers continue to provide a wealth of deals for those
who want them.

Suffice it to say, we're all pretty excited about the possibilities
for future growth and expansion for our economy. Of course, there
are concerns about where the tax cuts will impact Floridians most
including education and services like fire-rescue, but we'll see
these things shake out in coming months. We'll continue to post
information as it becomes available.
