It’s official: the world’s number one golfer, Tiger Woods, will design his first American golf course at The Cliffs at High Carolina , the eighth community in The Cliffs’ collection of private, master-planned residential developments and the second project for the recently-formed Tiger Woods Design. Also announced today were Woods’ intentions to take an active role with the development of the master plan for The Cliffs at High Carolina.
“My goal is to design a handful of very unique courses around the world, and The Cliffs is a perfect fit for my first American design,” Tiger Woods said. “Seeing what they’ve created with some of the world’s best designers is very inspiring, and I’m looking forward to adding my own style into the mix.”
Woods continued, “I chose The Cliffs at High Carolina because of the great people and the amazing location. I’m really looking forward to making it a premier destination to share with my friends and family.”

The city of Naples, located in Collier County Florida is one of Florida's
most beautiful inner coastal cities. Situated on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples
features an amazing coastline of Florida's famous white sand beaches that
stretches for miles. Naples is widely known as "The Golf Capital Of The World."
The Naples area features more than 80 championship level courses and is home to
the perfect climate for the game. Sun and outdoor recreation are the name of the
game in Naples. Its one of those areas that is so nice that its a real shame to
spend time indoors.
Saying that there is a thriving real estate industry in Naples would be like
saying "well, sometimes its sunny in Florida." There is such an eclectic array
of homes and properties in Naples, ranging anywhere from average single family
dwellings to sprawling beach front mansions to quaint beach homes to modern loft
spaces and condos and golf course communities. It really matters not what kind
of home you desire because you will be able to find it in this scenic seaside
community. Read

Texas Real Estate
Overall, the good news is Texas real
estate is very reasonably priced. The average home price in Dallas is $260,000,
while Austin comes in around $200,000. A single family home in Houston will set
you back $150,000 on average, while $220,000 will do the job in San Antonio.
The bad news with Texas real estate involves appreciation. Texas has the
lowest real estate appreciation rate from September 2004 to October 2005. With
an appreciation rate of a little over 5 percent, not everything is big in Texas.
Still, this may be an opportunity to get in on the ground floor, particularly
for a great town like Austin.
One would think Texas is a take it or leave it state, but it simply isn’t
true. The cities are all unique and a lack of a state income tax makes the low
real estate appreciation rates easier to swallow. Read

Whether you're ready to sell your home or link
up with someone to show you your dream home, the choice can be tough. How do
you choose the right realtor? How do you find the realtor who understands your
needs and goals? You absolutely need to feel that this is someone you trust,
but ultimately, it comes down to a business choice. Who will best assist you in
making the best deal in what is probably your biggest investment - your home?
Is finding a realtor like dating? Sort of. You need to go through the
awkwardness of friends' recommendations, the interviews and being in an
uncomfortable position when rejecting them, but that's a necessary part of the
process. What should guide your decision? Are you able to talk to them, and
most importantly, do you feel that they are really listening to what you have
to say? If they can't clearly explain their plans for you, will you be
comfortable entrusting a big chunk of your wealth to them? There must be a good
gut feeling about this person, or things won't go well. Being nice and friendly
may just not cut it - you need to be on the lookout for a trustworthy realtor
who can squeeze just a bit extra out of your home's value, or gain the upper
hand in negotiating a purchase.
When interviewing realtors to list your house, take note of whether they are
excited about your home, or focused on the negatives of trying to sell it? If
they say they have clients lined up to buy your home, be sure that you're
confident that they'll be bringing these folks through your front door as soon
as the ink dries on the listing contract. Any house can be sold if priced
right. Make sure that their assessment of your home's value is realistic and
based upon comparable homes on the market, not what price gives you a desired
profit. Just because you've put your heart and soul into renovations, doesn't
mean you'll recoup that investment. A good realtor will explain what enhances
or depreciates the value of your home in a way that you can accept. Another
surefire way to find the right realtor is to talk to neighbors and look at the
real estate ads. See who is really active, knows your area and has had success
in selling homes there. When you find a realtor who seems to fit, go beyond
personality and style and ask some critical questions. Talk to them about their
marketing plan. Do they have a user-friendly Web site so you can easily see
what other homes are for sale in your neighborhood? Do they plan to hold open
houses on a regular basis? Do they have clients already interested in homes
like yours? Are they a member of the Multiple Listing Service? If not, why?
It's important that the realtor stay on top of details, so ask if he or she has
a support staff to make the essential follow-up phone calls to prospective
buyers after a showing. No news is never good news, but you deserve to get the
feedback. A good realtor will use it to modify a marketing plan or suggest a
price change.
Communication is the key to a good buying experience. Your expectations and
time frame are big considerations when choosing a buyer's agent. Again, you
need to assess who really understands the market and can pinpoint homes that
fit your criteria. Know what you can afford, where you want to buy and what
details your dream home should have! If you are someone who needs to move
quickly, make sure you find a realtor who can jump right in. Nothing can be
more frustrating that waiting for a phone to ring and for appointments to be
set when you're in a hurry. If someone doesn't return your phone call in a
timely manner, move on and find someone else. On the other hand, you may just
be starting out on a home buying quest and only interested in getting a general
feel for what's available. Share that with the realtor and see if they'd still
like to work on your behalf under those circumstances.
The average person will only purchase or sell real estate a few times in their
lives. Because your home may be your biggest investment, it pays to do the
research and take the time to find the right realtor to represent you on this
great financial adventure.
