Florida Keys Real Estate! Why Live-in-Florida-Keys 

A happily content Customer Writes to Lela
"A customer who once sold his house called me a few days ago and revealed something very remarkable to me: "Lela, after I allowed myself all these wonderful feelings that my house finally had found the best new owner I could imagine here I realize why I have been reluctant along the way to finally let go with ease. 

A house can be like a child, you make experiences with it, feel certain feelings when you look at it and these feelings became memories that held me back. 

Understanding that a child you love very much and you care about has grown over the years and a certain kind of unfolding of situations has occured that promise a deep within residing desired feeling of peace by letting the child go now with happiness can be a very liberating feeling that expands easily. 

You know even my brain understood that letting go is not about loosing or experiencing pain, its about closure and the deep staying relief of trading resistance that made me tense inside for allowing positive and desired feelings to take place inside my soul. 

I apologize Lela, that it took me so long to come to that point doing my child something good by letting it go its own way and after I make that decision here I shortly after had been paid back more than 2 million times. 

I am an artist and suddenly I realized before I felt that tension leaving now that its of no use anymore to paint a painting 75% and holding it because I have invested so much feelings and joy into it. That way I would never be able to sell it and I want to to feel happy and make others happy as well - so after having made the experience and rightfully trusting you my ability to create peace of mind deep within by unfolding peaceful closures ...letting go the finished painting, feeling the joy of the child there was something way more important. 

After I had sold it to my fullest satisfaction thanks to your patience, help and expertise I gained the insight that I did not loose anything because all memories and feelings that are helpful as closure carries me smoothly during the next wonderful times of my existence here remain shining in my heart positively staying with me for the rest of my excellent life here. 

To paint my new experiences from now on with the new ability to unfold positive closures with relief, allowance and peace of mind is a much more bigger gain than the million dollars I receeived from the sale soon. 

Thank you so much again!"

Yesterday I talked with a long term satisfied customer. He told me:“Do you know Lela, what was the most impressive experience having made the right decision in choosing you?!“ 

You also like me very much might know what increasing curiosity means. I refer to that certain feeling in the body where you need to know more and more until you feel fine here soon. 

„Please tell me“, I nearly couldn´t wait any longer. 

„Well you know some realtors I met instantly had the $ sign in their eyes and considered me to be a comission on two feet and you Lela beginning from the first sentences during our first phone call I knew that only my best interest and long lasting happiness was your concern and this made it very easy for me to buy that house I always wanted! I was completely convinced that it was the right decision and boy how massively have I been right! Thank you so much"

Brian,
I am writing today to personally tell you how pleased I am doing business with your company and with Lela in particular. She has worked so very diligently on my last 2 transactions and they were both very difficult and time consuming to put together so they could be closed.
Lela has the utmost in professionalism and follows through implicitly on everything we discuss. She knows what the market is and is very realistic in her comments and advice.
As a former business owner I can tell you how fortunate your company is to have an associate of her calibur working for you but I'm sure you already know that. She is very efficient and we have a mutual respect for each other's time. I have worked with other agents in the past and there is no comparison....She is THE BEST! I'm sure she will continue to earn my business in the future.
I also want to express my sincere thanks to the Coldwell Banker Foundation that was so helpful in making my last move a plesant experience and made it possible for me to move my belongings from 12th St. on time. Lela and the other volunteers working there did a supurb job. I thank you so very much for your kindness and friendship Brian.
With Best Regards,
David Carew (Seller)

Lela has been a close associate in the publishing industry and is tireless in her efforts to close the deal. As a published writer, I offered advice regarding aspects of the book she wrote and we collaborated on the vicissitudes of the industry.
As a realtor, she is outstanding and goes to any length to ensure that professionalism and integrity are uncompromising which makes doing business with her less arduous and more fun. If you look up the past few years of top realtors in sales in the Florida Keys, you will be sure to find her name close to the top. I recommend without qualification. J.H 

By the way, why is that immigrants to the United States succeed and become self-made millionaires at four times the rate of native-born Americans on a per-capita basis? and the simplest reason of all, aside from the fact that they had to have more ambition to leave their home to come here, is that they come here with a blank slate...is they come here, and they say, "Now, I'm starting all over from nothing." Many of them come here penniless, with no friends, no contacts, no ability to speak English. They have no education. They have no background. they start with nothing but a blank slate. and what they do is they say, "Now, I'm in the land of dreams. What is my dream?" (Brian Tracy). Does this resonate with you? it does with me! Now what is your dream?
