LAKE MARY, Fla. --- A multilingual real estate specialist at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty’s Lake Mary/Heathrow office is forming a “United Nations” of Realtors in Spain, France, Germany, and Italy to sell Central Florida luxury homes. Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty (www.StirlingSIR.com), said associate Renate Behrens speaks fluent English, German, Spanish , Italian and French, and specializes in International Real Estate. Behrens recently received her TRC professional certification in trans-national real estate referrals, Soderstrom said, and has traveled extensively throughout Europe. Soderstrom said Behrens has more than 20 years of experience in real estate sales. “Her message to European Realtors is that now is the time to buy in Central Florida,” said Soderstrom. “Currency exchange rates favor European buyers and U.S. real estate is priced well below market value,” Soderstrom said. Sotheby’s International Realty currently has 49 offices in Spain, France, Italy and Germany, Soderstrom added.

ChampionsGate, Fla.---The Four Corners area where Orange, Osceola, Lake and Polk County lines intersect is positioned to lead Central Florida growth and development when the economy recovers, according to Marc Reicher, senior vice president of operations at ChampionsGate Resort south of Orlando.
Reicher, who participated in a panel discussion of business leaders recently, knows what he's talking about: ChampionsGate has already invested more than $500 million in the Four Corners area and plans to do more.
"Major area road improvements, along with private capital investment, have pushed the Four Corners area to the forefront of Central Florida growth and development," said Reicher.
Reicher said area growth engines include hotel and resort properties, retail facilities, housing and employment.
"The Four Corners area is a natural growth corridor, directly in the path of expansion of Central Florida's tourism industry," said Reicher.

Dan Divjak, vice president of sales and marketing at Taylor Morrison in the Orlando region, said the homebuilder closed on sales of 581 new homes in 2007- slightly above its projections.

· Customer satisfaction at 95 percent based on over 300 homeowners surveys through Woodland O'Brien
· Increased sales traffic by 53 percent -- accommodating 6,230 prospective buyers in 2007 vs. 4,000 in 2006;
· Sold out of nine Central Florida communities, with two more communities nearing close-out now;
· Successfully opened 12 new model home centers, including four brand new communities;
· Provided mortgage financing to 93 percent of its home buyers through Taylor Morrison Home Funding;
