REPORT SAYS ALLOWING PETS IN CONDOS HAS POSITIVE RAMIFICATION ON PRICES

California enacted a law effective January 2001 that permits each owner in common interest developments, such as condos and mobile home parks, to keep at least one pet, subject to reasonable rules of the homeowners' association. Efforts are under way in Florida to adopt similar legislation, led by a group called Citizens for Pets in Condos. On their site you can sign a petition to allow pets in condos. Their Mission Statement: Citizens for Pets in Condos, Inc. educates the public on the health benefits of animal companionship and about responsible pet ownership in order to increase acceptance of companion animals in common interest ownership communities. We believe that association rules should concentrate on irresponsible pet owners, allowing a win-win situation for responsible animal guardians and animals who would otherwise be needlessly euthanized.

The idea is that pets generally provide emotional support for homeowners. A recent report co-authored by Charles Carter, Ph.D., specialist in real estate analysis with many years of experience as a professor, real estate lawyer and appraiser and Tim Allen, professor and director of the Real Estate Center at the College of Charleston, which found allowing pets in condos has a positive effect on condominium prices in the South Florida condo market.

A NEW THOUGHT?

It's early morning, you just had coffee. Step onto the patio and swim for a half hour. Then sit in the sun a while.

Head over to the beach and ocean, and sit and watch the waves and boats go by. Then to Max's Grille in Mizner Park to meet friends for lunch. Afterwards,walk along and stop to shop in your favorite boutique. Check out the exibits at the Boca Museum.

Come home to a wonderful dinner that you will cook poolside, with friends over to swim and enjoy.

A GREAT LIFESTYLE! To check out properties call Marilyn at 561-302-3388 or email marilynfjacobs@gmail.com.

UNDER CONTRACT IN 17 DAYS in LINTON WOODS, 2/2, furnished, updated, walk to beach, dine, shop

http://animoto.com/play/BMvGdZddAwf5nl1NLPwg0A I recently listed this fully updated turnkey condo in a very up and coming Delray Beach location. It was under contract after 17 days, with multiple offers. The previous sale, the year before, had been 25% lower. My client wrote this recommendation. "This letter serves to recommend Marilyn Jacobs for her dedication, sales knowledge and her communication, along with her people skills, which are excellent. She has some very innovative ideas for selling and listing real estate. She is very skilled at sales, great at managing her time and incredibly organized. She is persistent without being annoying, and above all she gets results. She has proven herself to be an honest, hard-working woman who loves the business of being a Realtor . I trust her. She is genuine and convincing as a sales person . Her management style is such that she is very well-liked by all she comes in contact with, yet she is amazingly effective. It was always a pleasure to work with her. She is a friendly, high-energy individual with a great sense of humor. When it comes to real estate sales, Marilyn is a rare breed.
