Josh Nugent Attends Prudential Real Estate Convention as Featured Speaker

From March 6 - 9, 2010, I had the opportunity of attending Prudential Real Estate Associates' Convention in Austin, Texas. There were many great events, opportunities for education and networking. I was honored to be invited to speak on a panel discussing how to grow business even in a tough market.

Of course, this being Texas, there were also some opportunities for letting off steam, such as when I rode the mechanical bull!

It started out slowly:
Then got faster, crazier...

... and more fun!

The entire convention was a great experience.

Rare Opportunity: Bank Owned Home in Avondale

It's been a busy time for me since the last time I posted. I had the opportunity to attend Prudential Real Estate Affiliates national convention in Austin, Texas, where I was honored to be part of a panel of up and coming agents. More on this later...

For now I could not wait to share this listing on Avondale Avenue.



For a while there all anyone was talking about was the "crisis" in real estate. And it certainly has been a tumultuous time. Nevertheless Avondale has been partially shielded from the devastation in other markets. Certainly values have declined but the caché of a historic district is inarguable. "They just aren't building any more 100-year-old homes," I've heard it said. Even though Avondale's true growth spurt was in the 1920s and 1930s, the point is made. For lovers of historic architecture in a neighborhood with mature trees, Avondale is hard to beat in Jacksonville.

Since Avondale has been spared somewhat, it is rare for a great bargain buying opportunity to show up like this bank-owned 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home at 1277 Avondale Avenue.



Directions: Take the Edgewood Ave South exit off US-17/Roosevelt Blvd. Make a left onto Randall St, then your first right onto Challen. Veer left onto Avondale Ave and the home is on your left.

This great deal in a great location has everything you would expect in a 1931 brick Tudor home: hardwood floors, fireplace, built-ins, character galore.

Call me, Josh Nugent, for a chance to own this beautiful bargain in Jacksonville's historic Avondale.

Goings On in 5 Points, Jacksonville's best walkable neighborhood

A few weeks ago I told you about taking part in the sale of all remaining units at the Chelsea Lofts in Riverside. My client is now offering those units for rent and the info you need is all at the Chelsea Lofts website -- tell them Josh Nugent sent you, or just give me a call.

Five Points living is so pleasant and rewarding, I have also put together special pages showing the specific buying opportunities at condos in the area:
