June and the weather is still glorious!  Few afternoon storms and the heat and humidity are still not too oppressive.  It is easy to get tee and court time, no traffic and the full timers are enjoying a slower pace.

We never like to feel it necessary to reprint our Hurricane Preparedness information, but it is essential to be informed.  Please read how to prepare your property, protect your valuables and remediate any damage. 

And of course, keep up with Real Estate Trends and property news from BallenIsles sales overview and Featured Property section..  

Have fun you all!

Hurricane Preparedness  
Preparation Advise
 
Conducting a Home Inventory
Conducting a home inventory is one of the best ways to recover from hurricane damage.  It allows you to keep a record of what you own which will simplify the process of sorting through damaged items should you need to file a claim.
   
Ways to Conduct Your Home Inventory 
Move from room to room recording the value of each of your possessions.  It is also helpful to keep track of model numbers and stores where you purchased each item.  Here are methods you can use.
  • Notepad and camera - as you take photographs, write down the details of   each item.
  • Video camera - this is an easy method because you can narrate the details of each item while videotaping.
  • Personal computer - personal finance software packages often include a home inventory program.
Tips on Conducting Your Own Home Inventory  
  • Make sure you record the contents of closets, drawers and cabinets.  The value of little things can add up quickly
  • Store all lists, photographs and videotapes in a safe place off the premises.  It is a good idea to keep back-ups as well.
  • Update your home inventory.  After making a significant purchase, be sure to add the information to your home inventory while it is still fresh in your mind.
  • Keep all receipts, especially for big items such as jewelry, artwork and collectibles.  Also keep in mind that valuable items may need separate itemized insurance coverage.  Check with your agent.

REAL ESTATE TRENDS BI moongate

Stong performance generates demand!  As the BallenIsles Real Estate market nears the end of its peak selling season, it is easy to be confident in our community's vitality with 45 closed sales thru the end of May.  However, Inventory is incredibly low at just 59 properties for sale. That said, we feel bullish that with the renovated Clubhouse opening in the Fall and the end of the slow summer season, we will have a banner return to the South Florida market.  2018 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for Sales.  BallenIsles boasts a luxurious lifestyle and first class amenities catering to all interests.  It is a winning combination! 
Call us!  We can make your Real Estate dreams a reality.
