Sunset Beach in Tarpon Springs is an 11-acre park on a peninsula that extends into the inshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The park has a playground, beach on 3 sides, restroom facilities, picnic shelters with grills, a boat ramp, and a little free library. The park has hosted concerts and other city activities. It's also a popular spot for kite surfing in the winter months when cold fronts bring adequate breezes for the kite surfers. Sunset Beach is a free park located at 1800 Gulf Road. In this video I'm trying something a little different, a more cinematic take. There's no talking but I have set the slow pans of the park to calm music and kept most of the ambient sounds of birds, waves, and wind. Thank you so much for watching!

Today we're exploring Lake Chautauqua Park in Clearwater. It's not well-known outside of the neighbors but is a great little park for walking, jogging, viewing nature, or even to bring your horses and explore the equestrian trails. All told, it has nearly 3 miles of trails, paved and unpaved, plus a viewing pier over the lake. And plenty of wildlife. Sorry about the awful videography, guys! I filmed this before I learned more about things like planning, scripts, and other techniques that make videos more pleasant to watch. Hope you enjoy it nonetheless. --------- Get my app to power your home search: app.realtorcrisintampa.com Get more real estate information on my website: www.realtorcrisintampa.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/realtorcrisintampa Instagram: www.instagram.com/realtorcris_in_tampa Twitter: www.twitter.com/realtorcris --------- License information: Cristina Vanthul SL3070672 Broker: Keller Williams Gulfside Realty

Crystal Beach is a charming coastal community near Tampa. It is golf cart friendly and has a wonderful seaside park called Gulf Shores Park which was always intended to be a place where community members could gather to socialize and watch the sunset. Beside the park, a community center and close-knit community make Crystal Beach an ideal place to call home if you desire a laid back and friendly area.

If you're a homebuyer in most price ranges (and cities) in Florida, you know it's really tough to find a house right now. With demand outpacing supply, many home buyers find themselves in multiple offer situations.

Are foreclosures on the the rise in 2020? It's a question thousands of people are asking right now. Will foreclosures go up? Are foreclosures increasing? Is the housing market going to crash, again? Cue the panic. Then there are all those sensationalist click-bait videos and articles adding fuel to the housing fire. Stop watching and reading those!! The short answer is, yes, foreclosures will likely increase into 2021. HOWEVER, this is not 2008. The market isn't the same. Mortgages are not the same. The profile of a typical homeowner isn't the same. There's no need to panic. In this video I explain why experts are not concerned about foreclosures, and why you shouldn't be either. I explore how the current is in a much better place than in 2008. ---------- Get my app to power your home search: app.realtorcrisintampa.com Get more real estate information on my website: www.realtorcrisintampa.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/realtorcrisintampa Instagram: www.instagram.com/realtorcris_in_tampa Twitter: www.twitter.com/realtorcris --------- License information: Cristina Vanthul SL3070672 Broker: Keller Williams Gulfside Realty

The Florida real estate market was crazy in August in North Pinellas County! We saw double digit changes from the same time last year in our Five Towns as well as ridiculously low inventory.

This is my favorite Dunedin, Florida produce market, though technically it's not in Dunedin. I've been shopping at Steve's in Palm Harbor for years and love that the produce is fresh, there's a large selection, and they even sell meat and dried goods. In fact, I normally buy most of my fresh groceries there and head to the grocery store only for the items I can't find at Steve's Produce. If you're looking for an all-around great produce market and a small business to support, go to Steve's. Want to try it for yourself?

You've probably heard about Florida's afternoon thunderstorms. You might even know that Clearwater (just south of Dunedin) is considered the Lightning Capital of the US. So, what is one of these storms really like? In short, a brief period of intense wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Here's a quick look, though this one is relatively mild compared to others we've had this summer. Thanks so much for watching!

I don't know about you, but I like to know about the people I'm going to work with. It's fun to get to know about other people and to see if you have anything in common. So...to get this channel started (almost) here's a little about me. After I finished editing this, I realized there was so much more I could have told you. These are the basics though.
