Florida Keys Real Estate! Why Live-in-Florida-Keys Robert and April Phillips 3/9/2011 "Lela Ashkarian (MA) – Buyer Comment “Lela was the most professional and thorough sales person in Real Estate I have ever dealt with. We have purchased over 15 homes in the past 20 years and this was by far the best experience we have ever had.” RAP GMCCadillac Dealer in Florida Hi Lela, Date 2/28/11 We just want to again tell you how appreciative we are on your selling of our house. Your professional conduct made it possible in such a quick time. From the time we first met you through the closing you were extremely responsive and kept us up to date every minute. Your positive outlook made us feel very comfortable with you handling the process. We would be more than happy to enthusiastically recommend you to anyone. Thank you again for all did for us, Eileen Batistich (Seller) 1792 109th Street Direct Gulf Front House SOLD in two days Sight no Seen, Virtual tour and YouTube. 1/21/2011 To Lela's Broker Brian, I am writing today to personally tell you how pleased I am doing business with your company and with Lela in particular. She has worked so very diligently on my last 2 transactions and they were both very difficult and time consuming to put together so they could be closed. Lela has the utmost in professionalism and follows through implicitly on everything we discuss. She knows what the market is and is very realistic in her comments and advice. As a former business owner I can tell you how fortunate your company is to have an associate of her calibur working for you but I'm sure you already know that. She is very efficient and we have a mutual respect for each other's time. I have worked with other agents in the past and there is no comparison....She is THE BEST! I'm sure she will continue to earn my business in the future. I also want to express my sincere thanks to the Coldwell Banker Foundation that was so helpful in making my last move a plesant experience and made it possible for me to move my belongings from 12th St. on time. Lela and the other volunteers working there did a supurb job. I thank you so very much for your kindness and friendship Brian. With Best Regards, David Carew (Seller) "Lela takes her time to read, takes consideration of the big picture, understands the customer's/client's needs and considers their preferences and practices. She Makes the effort to educate agents and buyers and help them understand the REO/Short Sale process when trying to purchase and REO or Short Sale property. She is available, timely and responsive. Great agent and she is proud of it. Works hard and is willing to do the hard work.". J.H.F, Ohio
“Jamie Engel has a great website. Since I was interested in Marathon, she passed me to Lela who was extremely responsive and helpful. Lela got my information, showed me what I wanted to see and some things I was not aware of. Very efficient, friendly and helpful. I sincerely appreciate Lela’s help.”
-Jeffrey B "It is rare to locate a professional person in whom you will surely have some faith. In the world today, nobody definitely cares about showing others the solution in this issue. How fortunate I am to have definitely found a really wonderful blog as this. It’s people like you exactly who make a true difference nowadays through the thoughts they discuss."
6/12/2011 Lela has been a close associate in the publishing industry and is tireless in her efforts to close the deal. As a published writer, I offered advice regarding aspects of the book she wrote and we collaborated on the vicissitudes of the industry. As a realtor, she is outstanding and goes to any length to ensure that professionalism and integrity are uncompromising which makes doing business with her less arduous and more fun. If you look up the past few years of top realtors in sales in the Florida Keys, you will be sure to find her name close to the top. I recommend without qualification. J.H 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?  "Lela is an outstanding asset to your agency, she made this transaction effortless, She is "Awesome", Dr David Wilcher and Rita Wilcher. Lela's website is a walk-through for all the real estate information you wanted and didn't know who to ask. Look here, and you'll definitely find it. B. Ocasio Comment: I just couldnt leave your site before singing you that we really enjoyed the useful knowledge you offering to your visitors… Mango. O She means it when she says "The process of my sales approach, strategy, structure is driven by my philosophy. My Sales Philosophy is: 1. I give value first. 2. I help other people. 3. I strive to do my best at what I love. 4. I establish long-term relationships with everyone. 5. I have fun -- and I have fun every day." Have the rest of your life the best of your life.    | | Thanks so much you are a role model and inspiration....I believe we have it WAY TOO good here that we do not value and appreciate all our abundance and gifts. We limit ourselves by blame and complain. J.A. WI The Crossing | | | I met Lela through clients of hers I ran into at Costco. Her diligence and hard work are amazing.

Real Estate Tips
Buying Land and New Construction >Testing the Soil
Are you building a custom-designed home on hand picked acreage? An essential step is testing the soil, which will determine the composition of the ground that must provide a stable foundation for your new home.
The soil could have a combination of various conditions and characteristics. It might be fine, silt-laden soil that collapses when it absorbs excessive water, or soil with a high clay content that sucks up water and then expands under a building, causing it to buckle or shift. Such soil is easy to excavate but unstable to build on. It must be replaced in compacted layers until it achieves suitable density to provide a stable foundation for the house.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, your land might sit on a layer of hard rock, which is wonderfully stable, but extremely hard to penetrate. Excavation costs will be higher if your builder has to bring in heavy equipment to dig out the rock.
A professional soil report will help your builder determine the best approach to engineering your site.
