Fiona Stuart knows this first-hand: "Divorce is one of those funny things—you know about it and know people who have gone through it, but you don’t really understand until it is at your door. At your emotional lowest, it requires you to make decisions that will have far-reaching consequences. It’s designed to dissolve your current union so you can get on with your life." Based on her own "brutal" divorce, Fiona has created programs and a business to help others avoid a similar experience. She will discuss: The ONLY Road to Success: The 4-Part Divorce; Consider All Your Legal Options; Heartbreak, Closure, and Other BS; and Managing Conflict.

"Money-first retirement planning is leaving retirees feeling fearful about money and discouraged about their life direction." Why? We've been told that if we save our money and invest right, retirement will be a breeze. But many retirees aren’t ready for these challenges: regretting failures and reliving past successes; fear of losing identity and purpose when they stop working; difficulty creating new daily routines; a bucket list designed for leisure but without a balance of purposeful activities. Andy will address it all. Info: www.encorecurve.com

Right now is a great time to be on the market to either buy or sell a home in the Ft. Lauderdale market. Allow me to explain why.Buying a home? Click here to perform a full home searchSelling a home? Click here for a FREE Home Price EvaluationToday I wanted to give you a quick look at some of the most important stats from the Ft. Lauderdale market and what they mean to you.If you're selling a home, you're in a strong position at this time because we only have three months of inventory, and we have a lot of buyers out there attempting to buy a home while interest rates are low. Since inventory has stayed low in the Ft. Lauderdale area for several months, prices have slowly increased. It's simply a matter of supply and demand.If you're a seller thinking of upgrading into a new home, January and February are excellent months to be on the market. If you wait for spring, inventory will likely increase, and buyers will have more properties to choose from.According to expert real estate analysts, interest rates will rise in 2017. At this time, however, we're unsure of the impact this will have. Why? We've had historically low interest rates for years. In my opinion, it won't significantly impact buyers or sellers. It's a great time to become a homeowner while rates are still near historic lows. In short, it's a great time for you to list your home as a seller because of low inventory. As for anyone looking to become a homeowner, now is the time to jump off the fence and buy while rates are still near historic lows. If you have any questions about our market or you're thinking of buying or selling a home, give me a call or send me an email soon. I'd be happy to help!
