Dog Day Afternoon @ New Castle Realty World
In celebration of "National Bring Your Dog to Work Day" several New Castle Realty World associates took a few minutes off to "match mutts" to see who was the cutest, the fattest, the best behaved and who all could hold it until the photography session was over. The good news is that all passed the "hold-it" contest and we'll just leave you with the following pictures for you to judge who was the fattest, cutest, etc.

From Left to Right: Group picture with everyone finally behaving! Photo #2 Broker Les Stein with Shih-tzu "Peaches"; Photo #3 Broker Terry Sweigart's wife Gigi with Maltese "Jasmine"; Photo #4 Cookie Fisher and Grand Daughter Amy with Mini-Maltese "Molly"; Photo #5 Patty Kemna with 80lb.Baby Akita "Hunter"; Photo #6 Lisa DeTardo with Lhasa Apso "Sara Lu Lu"; Photo #7 Marion Tavares with Mini-Pincher Peanut; Photo #8 Elizabeth Ross with "Cocoa" the Beagle; Photo #9 Office Manager Kathy Kuehn with Heinz 58 "Stolee" who stayed and worked until 5:00PM w/o an accident; Final Photo "Cocoa" with tears in her eyes as she leaves the office on the way to get a listing on a  dog-house!

Several folks from New Castle Realty World enjoyed their first time in attendance of a fund raiser for the local Schott Communities organization for the handicapped. It was a heart warming event in which thousands of dollars were raised through corporate sponsors, table sponsors, a silent auction and a live auction of many donated prizes from friends and supporters of Schott Communities. The event was hosted by Barbara Parlavecchio Ortis and Pembroke Pines Mayor Frank Ortis, who along with a whole group of volunteers, really put their hearts and pride to work to pull off a beautiful night at The Signature Grand. In attendance from New Castle Realty World were Barbara Parlavecchio Ortis, Jean and Charles Doran, Dorothea Miller and daughter Wendy Miller, Steve and Nora Cohen, Les Stein and Gigi and Terry Sweigart. Dorothea Miller made a substantial bid on the all-day deep fishing excursion aboard Footie's 34' sports fisherman, but was quickly out-bid by Moshe Morganstern who figured it was the only way he was going to get a day off from work. All went for a wonderful cause which should be seriously considered by many more able businesses and corporate donors over the coming year!

October 27, 2005
New Castle Realty World office survives the wrath of Hurricane Wilma. Like a needle in a haystack, we received our electric and telephone services back around noon on Wednesday. No damage to the building, just a loss of business for now and the appearance of a war-zone outside everywhere you go. We almost feel guilty for getting back services when so many of our surrounding neighbors have so little of the necessities, including gas, electric, telephones, air conditioning, water and food. Thank God Johnny Geeze Pizzeria is open for pizza and salads! We've heard from most of our agents that everyone survived fairly well. One of our Davie agents lost her roof in Ivanhoe Estates, but was not injured. We have heard from many others that they cannot get out of their houses due to the lack of gasoline. Gas station lines locally are as long as 4 to 10 hours and more from what we hear on the radio. Nevertheless, none of us have lost sight of the fact that what has happened to us is far less serious that which happened to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. We definitely can say that we have been blessed!  

October 6, 2005
New Castle Realty World Agents and friends rally for the benefit of Hurricane Relief at their October sales meeting by conducting a "Massages for Hurricane Relief" fund raiser at which they raised $1,075.00 for the American Red Cross. Two professional Massage Therapists, Joanne Potts and Lydia Malcolm were called in to provide 15-minute massages for a $20.00 donation to the American Red Cross. When it was all over, nearly everyone was mush and ready for a nap. But most important the mission was accomplished and we hit our goal of $1,000.00. In addition, Charlie Kiesel of Kiesel Mortgage Company, Lane Baron of Home Banc, Candice Murphy-Suarez of Preferred Title Company and David Connolly of Southeast Commercial Group all attended the fund raiser and contributed as well. Everyone has felt so bad about what happened up in the Gulf Coast and now we all feel much better for two obvious reasons; raising the $1,000 and incredible stress relief from the  massages! Thanks to all that participated!!   

Congratulations!
Karen Charneco       Top Lister in September 2005

Agent, Sidney Johns, newly associated with New Castle Realty World, has started off with a bang! Sidney has just had a sensational month with $3.1 Million in business in the month of September. Who said business has slowed down/? They sure didn't convince Sidney. When asked how he does it, he just smiles and in his laid-back likeable sort of a way, leaves no guess work to why people gravitate to him and want to do business with him! He's just a good guy with all the right ways about him! Congratulations Sidney! Keep up the good work and You'll  go a long way in the Real Estate Business!

New Castle Realty World is approaching $80 Million in Sales Volume at YTD July 31, 2005. Very near their record volume of $100 Million in 2004 and on target for a goal of $120 Million for 2005. Broker Terry Sweigart attributes most of their success to a combination of record high appreciation rates and having the best staff of agents in the business. Sweigart suggests that; "professional flexibility and determination have been the most important issues over this past year and will continue to be the key to our success in the coming months. Especially flexibility, because without it, the New Age of the Real Estate business will pass you by."

April 13-16, 2005
New Castle Realty World with 12 associates and guests go to New Orleans for the 2005 Annual Realty World Convention and were awarded with several Multi-Million Dollar Award Cups ranging from Silver, Gold and the ultimate Platinum Cup. In addition, the company was awarded the National Community Service Award for their participation and support of Canine Companions (Companion/working dogs for the handicapped) and was runner up for the Top National Gross Commissions Award. Agents and their guests wined and dined throughout the majestical streets of New Orleans stopping for an occasional street musician, honky-tonk jazz or blues bar and took plenty of pictures with genuine orbs in them to remind us that there's no better place to stir the spirits than in the Big Easy!
