Orlando FL was recently ranked #4 - most popular cities to live by the Pew Research Center Publication for 2009.
The national survey by Pew Research Center’s Social & Demographic Trends project finds that nearly half (46%) of the public would rather live in a different type of community from the one they’re living in now — a sentiment that is most prevalent among city dwellers. When asked about specific metropolitan areas where they would like to live, respondents ranked Denver, San Diego, Seattle and Orlando at the top of a list of 30 cities, and Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati at the bottom.

Orlando Business Journal Recognizes Karen Arbutine’s Record-Breaking Deal
Residential and commercial real estate in Central Florida slowed considerably in 2008, as the effects of the credit crunch and sour economy trickled down to developers, contractors and those wishing to buy or sell real estate. Through these tough times Karen Arbutine with RE/MAX Central Realty was able to pull through and succeed.
In 2008, Karen Arbutine sold the most expensive home in Seminole County. This high profile transaction was touted as the best deal for the buyer, a professional athlete who Karen Arbutine represented.
In the February 2009 issue of the Orlando Business Journal, Karen Arbutine’s deal was named as the “Best Single-Family Residential Deal: Dwight Howard”.
The article went on to say that, “Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard broke the record for the largest single-family home buy in Seminole County with his October purchase.”
“Howard bought the 11,000-square-foot home dubbed Chateau d’Usse, for $7.8 million - the highest home sale in the area this year. The home was the largest one featured in the 2008 Street of Dreams luxury home show in Lake Club.”

As a business person in my sales and management career in the past years I have always found my secret to success quite simple. It is a basic philosophy I have used in business through out the years which is quite simple. I put my clients best interests first! I treat my clients and give them advice as I would with a family member. Honesty, integrity and sincerity is how I treat all of my valued clients. When I take this approach everything else falls into place as it should.
A few associates in my business question my approach by saying ” You have to look out for yourself”. I disagree strongly and attribute taking care of my clients first to be my true passion in the real estate field. Simple gestures such as helping clients make their mortgage payments, lending them money for home repairs, giving them closing gifts, making myself available for their calls and returning them quickly are just a few examples where I manage to help my clients.
In a nutshell ” Always Do The Right Thing When Nobody Is Watching”. If you practice this business will continue to thrive under any circumstances.
