What the Hero Deserves at the End of the Journey

Written by Posted On Monday, 09 March 2020 12:58

What could be worse than walking on a beach in nice, balmy weather.

If you've said that before, you probably need to lighten up. Or move to Antarctica.

The sheer matter of fact is that there is a reason Florida is known for its easy living and its attractiveness to those who are ready to kick back a little.

If this isn't you, you should probably look into New York City or Chicago or Los Angeles. Someplace with a lot of exhaust fumes and cement and honking.

For the rest of us, let us look down the long road of our lives, across those trees of transformation and past the dark little caves wherein lie the great beasts of our greatest life lessons.

At the end of that long, rough road, you should see a beach.

If you see something else, stop it.

A beach. With nice, temperate waters and a constant lush breeze that cools you when it's hot and, strangely, warms you when you're a little cool.

This is home. This is where you want to be when all those tough roads are climbed and all those caves cleared of mobs and monsters.

If you haven't had a chance to shop around yet, you'll be pleased to know that inland you have a few phenomenal options, places where the cost of living is low and the effort of living is lower.

There's almost nowhere that you can land where you don't have a clear pathway to those sandy beaches.

Alternatively, if you have the means and the will, beachfront property is neither rare or particularly restrictive in terms of cost. Sure, you'll pay more to live by the beach. That's a fact of life.

But there comes a time in a body's life where it must decide how far it really wants to walk to get to the places and things that it loves.

If we all walked a little more often, we wouldn't be the poorer for it.

But take a long look at your assets, at your body, at your situation and your life. Do you want to commute to the easy life, or would you rather just walk there?

If you want to walk, and particularly if you want to walk the dog, take advantage of the pet friendly gated communities in Delray Beach FL (has condos, gated communities and 55+ communities) or the sprawling and gargantuan estates that range the oceanside.

Remember, though, that your possessions and your space don't define you, my friend. One beautiful thing about living the Florida life is that you get to leave pretense behind.

It's not the place you go to combat the Joneses with a big, rich lawn manicured by hired help. It's not a land where the nicest car turns heads.

It's a place where you get to put on your bathing suit and be yourself. Even without the suit--some rules and restrictions naturally apply here.

Shed the social anxiety and the need for stuff, and walk over the threshold and into that beautiful space, only so big as you need, relax into yourself. When you can do this, then you have officially (and finally) arrived home.

When you’re moving to Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or Highland Beach with furry family members, you need to work with an experienced, caring and committed REALTOR® who understands the challenges you face as a pet parent. You need Elyse Berman. After growing up in New York and working as a Court Reporter in a fast-paced judicial system, Elyse moved to Boca Raton in 1994. Her goal: to be close to the beach. With three kids and two dogs, her family settled in a pet-friendly gated community – but when the kids grew up and moved out, she decided it was time to live like she was on vacation every day in a place right on the beach. However, Elyse quickly learned that not all beachfront properties in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach are pet friendly. Some have confusing pet rules that change frequently – and some claim to be pet friendly but only allow birds and fish. Elyse’s addiction to research, fueled by her love of real estate, the law and her dogs, helped her discover her passion for helping people find pet-friendly homes in Boca Raton and the surrounding communities. (You can learn more about how and why Elyse became Boca Raton’s premier pet-friendly REALTOR here.) With an ever-evolving list of which condominiums and communities are pet friendly (as well as what restrictions they currently impose on buyers), Elyse is ready to help you find the perfect place to live in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or Highland Beach. Her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market dates back to 1994; she’s seen new communities spring up, watched old communities become revitalized, and kept an eye on all the complexes, neighborhoods and subdivisions in the area for years. Call Elyse (561) 716-7824 Email Elyse Elyse@ElyseBerman.com She’s with you every step of the way, from your first tour of a home to closing (and beyond.) In fact, she stays in touch with many of the people whose homes she helped find – and she’s even sold those same homes decades later. She truly wants her clients to be happy, so she answers her phone and will never pass you off to a team member. Having made a cross-country move herself with a husband, three kids, two dogs and a business to run, Elyse knows all about the challenges you’re facing – and she can help you find a pet-friendly gated community in Boca Raton, a pet-friendly condo, a pet-friendly 55+ active adult community or anything else you’re looking for. Elyse loves dogs (well, all pets, actually) – and she makes it her business to keep up with the communities that accept furry family members. She personally wouldn’t move anywhere that wouldn’t allow her pets, and she won’t expect you to, either. She’ll never ask you to get rid of a pet or waste your time; she really understands what it’s like to have to find a place that’s suitable for all members of the family. No pets? No problem – Elyse also understands people who want to live in pet-free condos and neighborhoods. She can help you pinpoint all the best places to live. Elyse currently volunteers her time on the Professional Standards Committee (after having served on the Grievance Committee) for the Board of Realtors®, where she continues to learn. Serving on these committees is a lot like court reporting, which is why she loves it. Additionally, in order to better serve her clients, Elyse has attained the following designations along with membership in the following organizations: CRS – Council of Residential Specialists ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative GRI – Graduate Realtor’s Institute E-Pro – Internet Certified – Technology Certification Program C2EX – REALTORS® Commitment to Excellence Member National Association of REALTORS® Member Florida Realtors® Member Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors® 2018 – 2020 – Grievance Committee – Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors® 2021 – Present – Professional Standards – Broward, Palm Beach & St. Lucie Realtors®
