Lights – Camera – Action!

As a result of the efforts by Tallahassee economic development leaders, the film, music, and related arts industry now provides a sizable economic and employment opportunity for the citizens of Tallahassee and greater Leon County. These efforts will be formally recognized with a three-day festival celebrating professional and emerging talent in the film, music and related arts industries. This event is scheduled for May 15-17, 2008.

A Topography of Variety

Noted for its hilly terrain, Tallahassee is located on one of the highest hills in the county. The local topography varies from near sea level to just over 200 feet in places. One gets a sense the flora and fauna is more reflective of that typically found in the mid-south and low country regions of South Carolina and North Carolina. While the state is known for its share of palm trees, hardwood trees dominant the landscape as the Southern Live Oak is more emblematic of the city rather than the state tree, the Sabal Palmetto. Pines, magnolias and a variety of oaks also dot the cityscape.

Joe Wrote The Book On How To Sell A Home Today

WARNING: The Internet & digital marketing systems have changed the way sellers need to market a home for sale. It's not about getting a home sold anymore, it's about getting a home sold and netting the most money from the sale.

To do this, a seller needs to hit the digital market hard in a coordinated effort that alerts ready-buyers (all at the same time) to ensure buyers understand they are competing for the right to buy the home.

While it only takes ONE buyer to sell a home, it takes MULTIPLE BUYERS for the seller to bid the property up to its highest value in today's market. You see our full explanation about how to sell a house here, or you can buy the book and really get into the nuts and bolts of selling a home in the digital age.

Get the book that explains it all, in a manner that is understanding to all, even technology neophytes. It's available on Amazon, a trusted source for consumers.
