Experience Matters – Hire Bob Ashworth to Sell Your Home!
Let the SWFL Real Estate Expert Help you Sell Your Home!
Listening to a radio ad by John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan Law Offices reminded me that I work in a very similar way as Morgan & Morgan.
This particular ad focused on helping people with legal problem while shouldering all the expenses along the way. All of the legal filings, depositions, investigatory work etc. Mr. Morgan claims that he will do all the work necessary to reach successful conclusion to your case, or you owe him nothing!
This is the exact same offer that I pose to everyone of my sellers. I will use my knowledge, skills and experience to market your home. Guide you in contract negotiations, then manage the myriad of items necessary to reach a successful closing on your home, or you owe me nothing!
If you are thinking about selling your home, call me to discuss how my Unique Home Selling System will ensure that you get the most amount of money from your sale in the least amount of time that the market will bear.
If on the other hand you are planning to make a home, land, condo or new home construction purchase you’re in luck. As in virtually all cases, you can take advantage of my experience, tap my knowledge and in general have me help you make the right choice for you and your budget, and the seller or builder / developer, as the case may be, will pay my commission. Why would anyone you pass that up?
The bottom line is there is good experienced professional help available. If you buy or sell a 1/2 dozen homes a year, you may be able to go it alone. If you’re like most people who buy or sell a 1/2 dozen homes in a lifetime, call me to help you. On average I’m helping either a buyer or seller close on a Southwest Florida property 2 or 3 times a month, and have been for over 10 years. Experience matters! Put it to work for you.

Today we want to introduce you to one of our favorite, brand new – Barefoot Feet Footwear . If you’re looking for the perfect solution for the awesome barefoot feeling while protecting your feet check out their wonderful carefree relaxed BFF footwear!
One of the best things about the warm summer weather is to be able to leave the house and leave the shoes behind when you go out for that stroll around the neighborhood. We have designed the perfect solution for the awesome barefoot feeling while protecting your feet with our carefree relaxed BFF footwear!
We felt the need to develop a piece of footwear that will enable you to keep that barefoot feel but supply you with the protection you need against situations like bee stings in the grass, glass fragments on the sidewalk, splinters on the boardwalk, sharp shells on the beach, burning hot sand at the beach and hot sidewalks, asphalt streets and parking lots.
We have designed an attractive fashionable piece of footwear ranging in many different patterns and colors for you to choose from. We have covered the vulnerable areas of the foot that need the protection while leaving your toes free for that barefoot feel. Our wear pads are comprised of material that is non-slip. Provides traction on wet ceramic tile or composite material. It doesn’t leave skid marks on boat decks, paddle boards, long boards or surf boards.
We are seeking professional independent sales reps from around the country to sell our unique and chic footwear to retail shops. Generous commission plus residuals. If interested, please contact us for more information. If you are interested in purchasing wholesale amounts please contact us and will email you access to the wholesale shopping page.
Our Barefoot Feet are constructed of a stretchy, light-weight, closed cell neoprene fabric which can be worn into the water. They wash easily and dry quickly. Proudly MADE IN THE USA!

If you’re looking to purchase a lot to build on, please give me a call at 239-425-2503 and let’s talk about how I can help!
Builders’ bonus: Weak competition from ‘newer’ homes
WASHINGTON – May 27, 2014 – A burst of new-home sales during the previous housing boom stirred up competition among U.S. home builders. After the bubble burst, there was a surplus of fairly new resale homes, which exacerbated builders’ problems: They not only faced lower buyer demand thanks to the recession, but still-interested buyers could get an almost-new home at a bargain foreclosure price.
These nearly new homes boasted modern design, landscaping and interior upgrades, low maintenance requirements, and lower prices – factors that posed formidable competitive challenges for builders.
Now, however, the new home market appears to be swinging in the opposite direction. Almost-new homes – one that would have been built during the height of the recession – are in short supply.
Buyers longing for new homes now must rely on builders since fewer enter the resale market.
The change, in some areas, has put home builders back in the driver’s seat in satisfying new buyer demand.
