    To be successful in real estate, you must always and consistently put your clients' best interests first. When you do, your personal needs will be realized beyond your greatest expectations.

  • From Our Real estate to Yours

Here’s Where the Trump Family Is Shopping for Homes Right Now-and Why

Donald and Melania Trump have officially left the White House. So where will they live next?  And what about family members who have followed the former president to Washington, DC?

Apparently, the Trump clan is moving en masse to Florida.

Reports have circulated that Trump is looking to buy property in Palm Beach to augment his private country club estate, Mar-A-Lago.

Meanwhile, his eldest son, Donald Trump, Jr. has reportedly bought a house in Jupiter, while his newly engaged younger daughter, Tiffany Trump, is checking out properties in Miami.

Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, have already purchased a plot of land on Florida’s Indian Creek Island.


So why are so many Trumps looking to live in the Sunshine State?

“Florida has no state income tax, which has huge appeal,” says Cara Ameer, a bicoastal real estate agent in Florida and California with

Home Builder Confidence Falls Amid Rising COVID-19 Cases, Higher Prices for Materials

The numbers: The construction industry’s outlook worsened to start the New Year, according to research from a trade group released Wednesday.

The National Association of Home Builders’ monthly confidence index dropped three points to a reading of 83 in January, the trade group said Wednesday. It was the second consecutive month that the index has dropped, though the reading still remains strong.

Index readings over 50 are a sign of improving confidence. Back in April and May, the index dropped below 50 as pandemic concerns mounted, but months later the index hit a series of record highs.

What happened: The index that measures sentiment regarding current sales conditions fell two points to 90, while the index of expectations for future sales over the next six months declined by that same amount to 83. The gauge regarding prospective buyers slipped five points to 68.

On a regional basis, the index

Let’s say you’re in the market for a new pillow.

Maybe you don’t follow politics and aren’t much of a news consumer, but you’ve heard of the ultra-popular MyPillow and are considering trying it out.

Log on to Amazon, and the reviews there might leave you scratching your head. Here’s a few examples:

“Horrible product, just like it’s CEO.”

“It is okay not soft ! But Mike Lindell wants to declare martial law in America, he won’t be getting my business! Stick to pillows pal.”

Even the recent positive reviews might be confusing, such as one reading, “Would be a full 5 star review but from the product listing I was expecting a box with this – was hoping to eventually get this autograph by Mike who was a key Trump advisor and now is a famous celebrity.”

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Can Keep Future Earnings, per Agreement Between Treasury and Regulators

The Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Treasury Department have reached an agreement that will allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to keep their earnings for the foreseeable future.

The FHFA and Treasury agreed to amend the preferred stock purchase agreements for the shares in the two enterprises that the federal government continues to hold following the Great Recession. The amendments will let Fannie and Freddie retain all earnings until they have reached the requirements set by FHFA’s new capital rule issued late last year. Under that rule, the two mortgage giants would have been required to hold $283 billion in unadjusted total capital as of June 30, 2020, based on their assets at the time.

In 2019, the two agencies reached an agreement to let the mortgage giants retain up to a combined $45 billion in earnings — $25 billion for Fannie Mae and $20 billion for Freddie
