©2009 THE LEMON TREE COMPANY, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED +44 (0)7761 015 014 Back Often known as The Sunshine State and, appropriately for  us at The Lemon Tree Company, the State flower is Orange Blossom. Florida is gradually coming back to life having been hit hard in the US recession and fall in property values.      The State’s high profile as a favourite holiday destination has led many Brits to buy and own a permanent second home with similar mortgage products to those available in the UK.    One of our Little Black Book contacts looks after our enquiries for properties and mortgages in Florida. Dick Metzler is a licensed Realtor and Mortgage Broker in Florida, based in Fort Myers which is in Southwest Florida on the Gulf of Mexico.     Dick has contacts all over Florida who he can work with to help you buy your home in the State.    Florida boasts beautiful beaches, right on the Gulf or within a few minutes of your home or condo where you can enjoy fishing and swimming.   It goes without saying that Golf courses abound in Florida – Dick’s speciality,  making it a great location for family holidays with something for everyone.    As Dick says, “if you want sunshine and warm weather or a happier lifestyle, your answer is Florida”. Importantly for Lemon Tree clients, Dick has contacts to offer a complete service in Florida;  buying your property, lawyers, rental companies and usefully a mortgage outlet to help you buy in the best way for you. The property market is waking up;  buyers are active again and there’s probably no better time to buy now with a great choice. Contact us for a VIP introduction to Dick Metzler - +44(0) 7761 015 014.
