St. Joseph Will Help Sell Your Port Orange FL Home!
May 14th, 2008 Categories: Daytona Beach Real Estate News, How To & Tips, Port Orange Real Estate
Are you looking for a little divine intervention in selling your Port Orange FL home?
Marty and I heard of the traditon of burying ST. Joseph in the ground so we purchased a St. Joseph gave it a try.
It is believed that burying the statue in the lawn of a for-sale property, upside down and facing the home, will result in a closed deal.
So, we have had two of our personal investment properties on the market for well over 18 months with little or no luck of selling in a down market.
We ordered two statues on 01/05/2008 and received them a few days later and then placed one at each property
and said the prayer.
On Feb 7, 2008 we received an acceptable offer on one property and went to closing on Feb.22, 2008.
On Feb.18, 2008 we received an acceptable offer on the other property we had listed for over 18 months and
closed April 2, 2008.
After the sales, we placed the statues on the living room mantel to show our appreciation.
Thanks again St. Joseph.

Answer To Volusia County Residents Who Need A Dental and Health Benefits Plan! | Port Orange Real Estate
February 16th, 2008 Categories: Daytona Beach Real Estate News, How To & Tips, Port Orange Real Estate
Volusia County residents are looking for an alternative to costly insurance. Let me go over the two programs that AmeriPlan® offers to help those uninsured or underinsured.
AmeriPlan® is over a 15 year-old company with almost 2 million members and currently over 400 thousand providers all over the US. They save their members over a half a billion dollars ¦ thats billion with a B. The company has an excellent rating with The Better Business Bureau and Dunn & Bradstreet.
They have no waiting period ¦ its immediate coverage. There are no deductibles, no limits, no claim forms, no co-pays, no age limits and, like I mentioned before, they DO cover all pre-existing conditions. 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Does that sound like a health benefits package that will fit your situation?
** First of all, Ameriplan offers a Dental program that includes everything a Dentist is licensed to do, including fillings, cleanings,root canal crowns and braces, etc. at discounts up to 80%.
** It comes with a FREE Vision program that saves you up to 60% off frames, contact lenses, etc. at companies like JC Penneys, Sears, Pearle Vision and many others.
** It also comes with a FREE program that provides discounts on Prescriptions at a nice discount of 20% - 75% at over 50,000 pharmacies. And¦its much, much simpler than the new Medicare Prescription Plan. The vision program also includes Lasik surgery and opthamology exams.
** They also include unlimited Chiropractic services at 30% - 50% off¦including massage if theres a masseuse in their office.
Here is one plan covers either an individual or everyone in the household¦and thats everyone under the roof, related or not. There are no age restrictions, no limits on usage and no pre-existing conditions for only $19.95 per month for the entire household. Pretty good deal isnt it?
Our other exciting program is taking the country like wildfire! Its called AmeriPlan Health®.
It includes the 4 Dental, Vision, Prescription and Chiropractic benefits that I just told you about¦plus weve added a Physicians plan, a Hospital advocacy program and an Ancillary benefit program. Ancillary benefits are things like lab work, MRIs, etc.
Here are some more things about our AmeriPlan Health® program¦
