Resort Owners Gain Knowledge
The lure of the beach that brings you to our shores for vacations often compels you to purchase a piece of paradise. Resort ownership brings rewards, joys and also challenges that differ from residential property. To educate resort owners and those who wish to purchase coastal property, Meyer Real Estate will host the 10th annual Resort Owners' Forum and Trade Show (ROFTS) on Friday, November 14, 2008, at the Erie Meyer Civic Center in Gulf Shores. Exhibitors will offer "show specials" for their products and services that address these unique needs. Experts in the fields of real estate, tourism, property décor, community association and professional housekeeping services will provide valuable information regarding purchasing, maintaining, renting and upgrading coastal property. This popular event is FREE to the public and includes door prizes and a reception. Make your plans now to attend ROFTS on November 14, 2008. Contact one of our real estate sales professionals at 866-269-6954 or Sales@MeyerRE.com to learn more about resort property ownership advantages.
