Dave's Hot Chicken’s Post

Pickleball and Property Values in The Villages, FL   A friend from another state just shared an interesting report referencing Harvard Business School 2018 about Starbucks locations and home values. Next was a report by a financial investment firm specializing in real estate values discussing Pickleball Courts. From there two more “experts” opinions and after 30 minutes of reading all these reports I decided to do my own analysis using a few points they shared here and there.   First let me explain the Starbucks Effect, if you live close to Starbucks your property could be .5 to 1% more valuable. Why?  Starbucks does a deep dive into the community looking for the right mix to locate a store. Now the experts have created the Pickleball Effect which can either increase home values up to 5% or decline property value as much as 20%. Let me explain, if you live next to a Pickleball Court the noise can be a factor of up to 20% reduction in home value. Few blocks away it reduces to 5 to 10% and three blocks away your property value increases as much as 5%.   For some of you considering moving to The Villages you maybe need to add location of Pickleball Court to your list of wants and don’t want! Let’s see no kissing lanais, busy streets, powerlines, prisons, turnpikes, sewer plants maybe ponds (gators) and sinkhole prone areas. On the other hand, you want access to squares, retail, dining, lifestyle choices in a quiet neighborhood. Ya we got that!   Dick Betts, REALTOR® The Betts Team Touchstone Real Estate The Villages, Florida 717-860-3107 cell [email protected] #realestate #realtor #thevillagesflorida #homesincentralfl #thebettsteam #dickbettsrealtor #dickbetts #thevillages

Monthly town halls are a great way to keep employees updated on the business. This month’s town hall falls on opening day at Fenway for the Red Sox so we will be raffling off a Red Sox blanket and will have the following treats: peanuts 🥜, cracker jacks, and soft pretzels 🥨. Additionally I like to put little treat bags together for my direct reports with clever puns 🤓 #treatsformypeeps #monthlytownhall #businessupdates

Here at Caldicot Town Team, we understand the importance of supporting independent businesses in our community. CORE Caldicot is a collective of independent retailers, who all sell products in our shop, Since we opened CORE Caldicot in December 2022 we have seen firsthand the numerous benefits that come from this partnership. If you're an independent retailer, perhaps someone who regularly sells at markets, or someone who runs their business online from home, then we can offer you a pitch, wether short or long term in CORE Caldicot. #retail #community #traders #independent #independentretailers #independentbusiness #retailinnovation #retailindustry #traderslife #market #markets #stallholders #localcommunity #different #differencemakers #doingbusiness #uniquebusiness #businessmodel

I stayed in #Dublin last Thursday night, and after doing a few hours on the laptop Friday morning, I pulled back the curtains to snow 🙃 These unplanned snowflakes made me late. I couldn’t stop off to buy a book I wanted. There was no time to pop into my favourite cafe for a coffee or go back to buy that green scarf I regretted not buying for the St. Patrick's parade in #Castlebar. So, it got me thinking about our plans for learning and development. We set out our plans for the year, and by Q1, something happened, and we didn't do what we had planned. Before we know it, Q2 will be nearly over, and we will be into the summer holidays, and it's too late to start. The business suffers a small percentage, and someone says, “We will be better next year!” Sounds familiar? Don’t let another year or month go by without taking action and developing your team. If you are not up to date, you go out of date, which means out of business! #sales #training #talentdevelopment
