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";

New Castle Realty World proudly attended the Annual
Coral Springs Dog Day Run Gala Auction Night last evening at the Civic
Auditorium in Coral Springs, Florida, to bid on various items of art, trips and
prizes all in an effort to help raise money for the benefit of animal care and
protection in Broward County as well as to support Canine Companions for
Independence, a national organization for canine assistance for our
wheelchair bound friends and family. We have been involved in the financial
support of CCI and Dog Day run for the past 3 years which landed us the Realty
World National Community Service Award in 2005. New Castle Realty World will
also be in attendance at the 2006 Annual Canine Companions for Independence Gala
Event at Sea World in Orlando, Florida in November.

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!

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!

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!
Congratulations!
