Disney Proposes Luxury Development
If you’d like to live in a luxury house next door to Mickey Mouse, Florida’s Disney World is about to make your dream come true.

The proposed property will be built on the banks of Walt Disney World canals. The project could encompass as many as 373 single-family homes, 200 multifamily homes, and 60 time-share units.

A Four-Seasons Hotel is expected to anchor the resort. Marilyn Waters, spokeswoman for Walt Disney Imagineering, the Disney office that handles real-estate development, compared this proposed resort to the Four Seasons-anchored Aviara community in San Diego, a high-end vacation community for people rich enough to have multimillion-dollar second or third homes.

“This is in essence the coming together of the Disney brand and the Four Seasons brand,” she says.

Disney won’t discuss the issue, but speculation is that given the current state of the U.S. real estate market, the luxury homes will be snapped up by wealthy foreign buyers.

Oakland Park

In keeping with our commitment to blending in and feeling like a natural part of the area, the architecture of Oakland Park draws great inspiration from historic homes in Oakland and Winter Garden. This vision mandates original designs and a 360-degree approach to detail, not merely facing the home with historically appropriate trappings. Homes are oriented toward the street with the interiors given an outward-facing perspective. Homes are serviced by a rear alley or garage, contributing to the aesthetic and pedestrian-friendly nature of Oakland Park. Generous front porches allow ample opportunity for interaction with neighbors and a feeling of emotional investment in - and connection to - this small-town community. As towns evolved and grew in the 1800s and early 1900s, different types of residences would be added to existing streets as the need arose. Following that precedent, we've chosen to combine attached and detached residences along the same thoroughfare to capture the welcoming aura found on residential streets of that era. Exceptional attention to detail and authenticity of design are an integral part of the vision to recreate in Oakland Park now what the original settlement might have been like.

The community of Oakland Park encompasses approximately 258 acres of land stretching from the shores of Lake Apopka south to Oakland Avenue. Much of what makes Oakland Park feel like a naturally occurring community is a steadfast commitment to preserving and enhancing the beautiful Old Florida feel of the land. As would have been the case over a century ago, earthmoving has been kept to a minimum. The community follows the natural grade of the land, which slopes up from the shoreline of Lake Apopka, providing lake views for many of the homes near the lake. Magnificent live oaks have been preserved throughout the community.

Architecture

New Urbanism:

The Oakland Park community incorporates the principals of New Urbanism, or traditional neighborhood development (TND). This development pattern is in contrast to conventional suburban sprawl so prevalent over the past fifty years. Through the diversity of its architecture, the inherent walkability of the community, the abundance of open civic spaces and public trails, and the integration of an accessible neighborhood center, Oakland Park promises a small-town feel.

40+ Mile Long Bike Trail - I have rolled many a mile over the last 12 years on this trail, this is beautiful country. See you on the trail.

Will my home be listed on the Multiple Listing Service?

Yes, you agree to compensate Buyers Agents or Cooperating Brokers 3% thru the MLS

How do you get compensated if you selling my home for 0% on your side?

Glad you asked, we get paid when you buy your new home through us...

1. Can you buy a new home from a builder or have a new home built? Yes!

a. We constantly get updated information from all Central Florida Builders

2. Can you buy a home listed on the MLS? Yes!

a. We are members of the Mid-Florida Multiple Listing Service

3. Can you buy a...

a. Condo? Yes!

b. Townhome? Yes!

Multiple Listing Service (MLS), we are members of the Mid Florida Regional.

Counties:

· Seminole

· Orange

· Polk

· Lake

· Volusia

· Osceola

· Lakeland

Do you have someone on staff to help with my home buying needs?

Yes, we believe in a proactive approach, our Buyers Agents stand ready and have the knowledge and tools to help you find the home of your dreams

· Their first step is to define your families future home criteria.

· Next they will set you up on auto-emails sending all the homes that match your criteria.

· Also they will search out new homes offered by builders that match your criteria.

· Along the way they will with your input hone your future home criteria

Why do all this if my home hasn't sold?

By starting the search early you become educated to what homes are on the market and their prices. Again this gives you the ability to refine your search criteria helping to make your next home the right home, after all your home could sell quickly with Two4One® of Orlando.

But are you really full service... after all you’re doing it for half the price of a traditional real estate firm.

Yes... Consumers are always looking for ways to save money, and paying real estate commissions can amount to tens of thousands of dollars these days, not an insignificant sum to most people.

I’ve heard about companies offering special discount deals, they say their in-house contracts are one sided.

Not so with Two4One of Orlando, to help protect your investment we use contracts, disclaimers and addendum forms produced by the Florida Association of Realtors and the Florida Bar Association.

Also when we list your home on the MLS we request all offers be presented on a FarBar Contract for Sale and Purchase, again to protect you.

But I’m just selling and not buying.

No Problem!

· We offer a $2495.00 flat fee for full service on homes up to $380,000.

· For homes over $380,000 our fee for service is 1% on our side of the listing contract

· For both the $2495.00 and 1% you also agree to offer up to 3% compensation in the MLS

A brief snapshot prior to starting Two4One of Orlando...

· 2005 – Team placed 9th in a company of 160 agents.

· Team placed in the top 13% of Coldwell Banker agents in the country.

· Received Coldwell Banker Diamond Award 2006.

· 2006 - Team placed 5th in same company increasing sales volume while most real estate agents stagnated or dropped.
