Remember landlines and answering machines?  They’ve gone the way of Betamax and the dodo, but lots of listing agents cling to them like life buoys  adrift in a sea of 21^st century technology.

These days, just as many deals are closed on the darker side of 9-5, and “office hours” is now an irrelevant phrase.  The mobile office … open all day and all night. Your listing agent should open 24/7/365… and always with a fresh pot of coffee on.

After all, selling your house is the biggest transaction you’re likely to ever make. You need a listing agent you can rely on. Like a doctor, always on call. And now that these calls come in so many different ways, make sure your listing agent has a website with clear contact info, including email address and mobile phone/pager/Blackberry number.

And… of course… a blog. 

Because the real estate market in Jupiter is ready to bust loose. Top down, wind in its hair, bugs in its teeth. Make sure you have a Jupiter listing agent who won’t be asleep at the wheel when the deal’s ready to break.

The U.S. News & World Report offers  “7 Ways to Avoid a Crummy Real Estate Agent.”  Read it, ingest it, follow it… because I couldn’t have said it better myself.

So when you want the best… choose your gadget.  Just don’t try telepathy… Even I’m not quite there yet!

You’re about to experience that “aha!” moment…that frozen moment in time when you just know you’ve absolutely made the right choice.

This San Palermo townhouse has everything – including a very affordable $289K price tag that puts you front and center in the Abacoa lifestyle without breaking the bank.     And for that price?  You get a one-of-a-kind exclusive, one of the few townhomes facing the sparkling lake with gorgeous Valencia on the other side.

The quality is superb and how could it not be – it’s built with DiVosta Homes’ legendary attention to quality “built-solid” construction and detail and it’s rich with all the amenities you’d expect from this wildly popular builder.

One moment, this home your relaxing sanctuary, a great full-time home or staycation – with a spacious open-air balcony off the master bedroom to catch the tropical breezes from the lake.  The bright sunlight streams through the bedroom windows including a fourth lake-facing bedroom – there are four lavish bedrooms and 3 full baths in all.

The next moment, everything bursts into life in the Great Room with its high ceilings and the spacious dining area – great to entertain family and friends.  Add in a fully-appointed kitchen, a spacious back patio leading to your own full two-car garage and lush landscaping, and you’ve found yourself a place to call “home.”

With a location that’s close to glistening beaches, outstanding schools and I-95, the only thing missing from this home is the hustle-and-bustle aggravation of the locale you’ve left behind.

So go ahead, don’t hold out – take your place at 145 Rivinia Drive – where you know you belong.
