Baby Boomers love to grill

According to a poll completed by Harris 3 in5 baby boomers and generation Xers are likely to grill out more than once a month.

Half of Baby Boomers who grill (49%) say they do so all year long.

What do they like to grill?

  • Beef 56%
  • Hamburger 47%
  • Chicken 38%
  • Hot dogs 16%
  • Sausage 12%
  • Vegetables 10%
  • Fish 6%

Here at the Staker home, we like chicken and corn on the cob.

If you would like to find a home with a built in grill or a backyard large enough to enjoy grilling your favorite food item, give me a call.

Positioning ourselves for real estate success in the years ahead

People are retiring and retiring people move to Florida. Maybe not as many as predicted in years past but it would be foolish to think that the retiring baby boom generation will still not consider Florida as a great place to spend their golden years.

Our real estate agents are counting on this migration effect to increase their business in the years to come. As an agent and a Company we must have marketing and prospecting solutions that help us be the 1st contact point for these migrating homebuyers. Once the consumer arrives in Florida and has an opportunity to pick up a Watson Showcase print Magazine or the Orlando Sentinel to scan for homes available, chances are good they have already made 1st contact with a Realtor through their searches online.

Watson Realty’s involvement with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, the creation of a new user friendly website, our award winning Relocation department and our individual agents efforts to understand the value and importance of online marketing, are all positive efforts that should help propel us to the front lines of capturing this new business.

Our goals are to continue strengthening our online position, capture more leads without relying totally on lead generating companies. By our accomplishing this coupled with our already strong proven marketing programs, training and management, we will ensure that the future for Central Florida and Watson Realty will be a bright one.
