Getting to Know Me!

Okay - So I was originally born in Western New York - The frigid city of Buffalo.  I've been in Florida for about 7 years and have a degree in Accounting and Financial Management from Florida Southern College (Lakeland, FL). 

To that end I have a TAX and Accounting business called - Advanced Accounting & Tax!  (863)686-4466 We can help you with your taxes and information on your real estate transactions or bookkeeping and payroll services for your business anywhere in Florida, or even Farther!

As if that is not enough (Especially during March and April) I started Franklin Bell Realty, LLC.  I wanted something, a concept, that would change the industry.  We're doing it - one deal at a time.  Franklin Bell is an awesome concept that believes in enabling Sellers, Buyers, and Real Estate Agents. 

To top it all off, and ensure I go gray by the time I am 35, I decided to go to Law School!  I currently attend Stetson University College of Law (Gulfport, FL).  I want to specialize in Property Law, while also maintaining a background in business and corporate governance.  I am dual enrolled in the Masters In Business Administation program as well!  (Sick I know)

I serve on the Executive Leadership Development Committee for the Stetson University College of Law and appreciate any opportunity to gain what I would consider to be valuable Leadership Experience.  Part of my responsibilities on the committee include contributing to the discussion of new leadership topics for the leadership development programs for students and taking on other responsibilities neccessary to the advancement of the program!

I also volunteer as a Guardian Ad Litem for the 10th Judicial Circuit - though my service to this organization has waivered because of my seemingly endless committments to my education, career, and business development. 

Last but certainly not least I am engaged to my beautiful Fiance!  Planning on Getting Married May 2009, followed up by a lovely semester of summer classes!

My Business

Franklin Bell Realty, LLC - Started in October 2007. Franklin Bell uses the concept of empowerment to grow by giving Buyers, Sellers, and Agents the ability to gain more from each transaction they do. 

Franklin Bell Buyer Rebate Program:  Http://rebate.franklinbell.com
Using Franklin Bell Realty allows buyers to get a rebate between 50-75% of the commission earned by Franklin Bell on the representation.  This usually results in buyers getting thousands back either as a credit at closing or a check after closing.

Franklin Bell Free Listing Program:
http://FranklinBell.com
Using Franklin Bell Realty to sell your property is one of the smartest things a seller can do.  Franklin Bell allows seller's to list there property with no listing commission or up-front flat fee.  As the seller, you will simply indicate how much you want to offer to buyer's agents, and we list your home in the MLS.  Currently we are working in the Mid-Florida Regional MLS which covers 7 Central Florida Counties!  We also have reciprocal listing agreements with many other counties with a small fee.  Using Franklin Bell's Free Listing Program Sellers save Thousands!

Franklin Bell Realty - Agent Program
http://Agents.FranklinBell.com
The Franklin Bell Realty Agent Program empowers Agents to conduct their transactions without having to pay high commissions to a Broker!  Franklin Bell has three compensation programs - two of which give 100% of the agents earned commission back to the agent!  Check it out today!

Franklin Bell Realty uses an interactive website which allows Sellers to log in and manage their listings!  Visit Franklin Bell Realty to find out how we can help empower you in your next real estate transaction!

Aside from FBR, as stated above I own Advanced Accounting + Tax, Lakeland, FL.  We assist business owners and individual in a variety of accounting functions tailored to the needs of the client.  We are small enough to be flexible to your needs, yet knowledgeable enough to keep you out of trouble!  If you need  payroll services, taxes, accounting, or collections help call Advanced Accountin + Tax. 
863-686-4466!

We're small and we like it that way - however There is always room for more!

I thought I might give you a resource to check out. Since it is harder and harder to qualify buyers, credit is more important than ever. I came across something that can help your prosepective buyers to get their scores that much better or higher so you can qualify them and thus make more sales and more money. It is a resource I have been using with a greater and greater number of my buyers and clients. So here it is:

WOW - I'm exhausted just hearing about what you're up to!  I graduated last year from USF in International Business and moved to Costa Rica to dive into the investment market here.  I'm actually giving a presentation next month in Tampa Club when I fly home for a week - I'll shoot you the invite if you'd like?  You could pass it on!

Pura Vida,
Sarah
