Two Home Tours in February

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Every community has its own personality, fostered by those who live and work there.

Join us for home tours in Orange Beach, Alabama (Feb. 9) and Perdido Key, Florida (Feb. 23).

Meyer Real Estate is sharing a special public opportunity to get a more intimate feel for local communities by walking into a handful of houses and condos. During February, you are invited to tour select properties in Orange Beach, Alabama and in Perdido Key, Florida.

Highlighted on these tours are condos and houses for sale as well as those available for vacation rentals.

You might be surprised to learn that you can afford a gulf-front or near-beach home. Even if you are not ready to buy at this time, it may help you decide on an eventual second home or retirement location.

Vacation rentals are not typically open for inspection, so these open houses are a rare live glimpse into popular rental properties. Admire the scenery from each room, picture your family or friends sharing a condo or home, and imagine the many fond memories that will be created from each visit.

The public is welcome to attend these free walk-throughs that are open between 1:00 and 5:00. For the Orange Beach, Alabama tour, maps are available beginning Saturday, February 6, while the tour itself is scheduled for Tuesday, February 9. The Perdido Key, Florida tour is scheduled for Tuesday, February 23; maps will be available beginning on Saturday, February 20.

To participate in either of the Tour of Homes events, simply stop by one of the Meyer Real Estate offices (Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan or Perdido Key) to pick up a map. Although the tour is self-guided, you will find friendly, knowledgeable real estate and rental agents at each location.

Whether you are interested in real estate sales, vacation rentals, or long-term rental of personal or commercial property, Meyer Real Estate can be of service. Learn more at our blog, or view our website.

Snowbird immigration is a common phenomenon here in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Fort Morgan (AL) and Perdido Key (FL). Join us for a month or more during the winter and you, too, will be an official snowbird!

We are especially excited to welcome our winter visitors this year by offering amazing specials of up to 50% off some of our monthly beach house and condo rentals.

This is the year to leave your parka and snow scraper in storage and head to the beach. We will love having you here, and you’ll be glad you made the decision to enjoy a mild winter in our beautiful location.

Paying Homage to Our Veterans

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Please remember our veterans on their special day: Wednesday, November 11, 2009.

Please remember our veterans on their special day: Wednesday, November 11, 2009.

We will soon be celebrating Veteran’s Day. Wednesday, November 11, in fact. Just about everyone knows someone who is a veteran of military service. But do you know how Veteran’s Day came to be, and the original intention behind the designated day?

Initially called Armistice Day, it was to commemorate the temporary cease-fire between the Allies and Germany, which occurred on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of November in 1918. This eventually became a permanent truce at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, officially ending World War I.

To pay homage to those who served and those who gave their lives to keep us safe and secure our freedoms, President Wilson called to cease all business for two minutes at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1919. He also encouraged the public to participate in parades and public meetings.

Eventually the recognized annual holiday was moved to Mondays, but more recently it was returned to its true day of significance, making November 11 the official holiday.

We encourage you to learn more about the history of Veteran’s Day by visiting any of the following links:

To show our appreciation to those who have served in our military branches, Meyer Real Estate is inviting all veterans to relax at or near the beach between November 6 and November 15, 2009, while enjoying a $50 discount in addition to our already-reduced prices. The $50 discount is also applicable any time of year when no other special is being redeemed.

For anyone who wishes to join us in Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan, Orange Beach (Alabama) or Perdido Key (Florida) for Veteran’s Day or anytime through December 30, 2009, let us entice you with 50% savings on condos and 25% savings on houses at or near the Alabama/Florida beaches.
