TRANSPORTATION/AIRPORTS

Getting around the Keys:  Everyone travels by automobile up and down the islands on the famed Overseas Highway, which stretches from Key Largo to Key West.  Travelers also have the option to sit back and let Ambiance Sun's Big Purple Buses luxury coaches carry them to and from Marathon airport and Key West.

Getting to the Keys by ground:  Greyhound Lines has scheduled stops between Miami International Airport and many locations on the Keys. The Keys Shuttle travels between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami International Airport to various towns on the islands.

Air Travel to the Keys: Several major air carriers schedule regular service to both Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon Airport. These include US Airways and Delta, and American Eagle Airlines.  Many flights are routed through the Miami International Airport, although some smaller airlines, such as Cape Air and private charters, schedule direct flights from many major cities in Florida, such as Ft. Meyers, Ft. Lauderdale, Naples, and the Bahamas. International flights must connect to one of these airlines in Miami.

Marathon Airport began as a World War II airstrip and now is a convenient destination for both commercial and private planes.  Located in the middle of the island chain Marathon Airport is an hour away from either Key West (south) or Key Largo (north), making it a popular travel choice for travelers.

Traveling by water:  The Key West Express provides passenger ferry service from Ft. Myers Beach and Marco Island on Florida's southwest coast to the Key West Bight Ferry Terminal.  It’s about 3.5 hours of refreshing breezes and sun.  For private boaters be sure to reserve your space in the numerous marinas that dot the coastal inlands.

Real Estate Tips
First Time Buyers >Structural Contingency

If you have a house for sale your buyers will probably include a structural inspection contingency in the contract. This allows them to have an expert check out the house, the major systems and the appliances.

A professional structural inspector can help buyers to "know" the house and to feel comfortable with it, but the inspection does not result in a pass or fail grade. The buyers will learn important facts about the house, such as where the water cutoff valve is located, in case of an emergency. The inspection may also help buyers set up a budget for repairs and determine if they want to invest in cost-effective measures to increase energy efficiency.

Buyers rarely back out of a sale after a structural inspection. Even if there are problems, you have the opportunity to negotiate a compromise and to avoid any obstacles that could seriously threaten the sale.

My purpose is to help buyers and sellers Making Their Dream a Reality! To Live and Work in a prosperous environment in The Heart of Florida Keys and Key West that encourages productivity, to that we may improve the service we render to our family, friends, company, our community, our nation and, ultimately, the World. By the way, why is that immigrants to the United States succeed and become self-made millionaires at four times the rate of native-born Americans on a per-capita basis? and the simplest reason of all, aside from the fact that they had to have more ambition to leave their home to come here, is that they come here with a blank slate...is they come here, and they say, "Now, I'm starting all over from nothing." Many of them come here penniless, with no friends, no contacts, no ability to speak English. They have no education. They have no background. they start with nothing but a blank slate. and what they do is they say, "Now, I'm in the land of dreams. What is my dream?" (Brian Tracy). Does this resonate with you? it does with me! Now what is your dream? Thank You. Lela p.s. People don't mind trading information for good value. Please feel free to leave your email and phone number where I can communicate with you effectively.
