A new product for Personal Watercrafts has recently been invented.

(PRLEAP.COM) A new product for Personal Watercrafts has recently been invented. It is called the beach rover, and makes it easy for you to get the watercraft in and out of the water.
The Beach rover lifts and loads Personal watercrafts up to 1,500 pounds from the water line. What makes this product so unique is that it has four-wheel drive, has effortless steering, and is gas powered. With the Beach Rover a single person can move heavy personal watercrafts or small boats out of the water!

Using Jet Ski’s, sea doo’s and other personal watercrafts has become a way of life for many of us. A vacation to our favorite lake would not be the same if we couldn’t get out on the lake on our jet ski or sea doo. In fact, it seems like these personal water crafts are taking over the lake. One problem that Personal WaterCraft owners have is getting them in and out of the water.

Until now there was not a product on the market that would make it easy to get a personal water craft in and out of the water and onto the shore. How many times have you hurt your back moving your personal water craft? How many people do you need to help launch or retrieve your personal watercraft? Do you have a number of scratches from your Sea Doo dragging through the sand? TheBeach Rover is now on the market and there is nothing like it.

Prudential Gary Greene Realtor receives political action honor

(PRLEAP.COM) HOUSTON, TX. - Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors’ Larry Littlejohn was recently honored with the Strike Force Award from the Texas Association of Realtors for his enthusiasm and involvement in local politics.

Littlejohn, an agent with the Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors Katy office, is one of only 75 people in the state of Texas to receive the recognition. This was the inaugural year for the Strike Force Award.

The long-time Realtor said he is honored to be recognized for doing work he has enjoyed for many years. "Political involvement is a way to protect the interests of our industry and our business," Littlejohn said.

During a recent election in the Katy area, Littlejohn was extremely active in hosting events, placing signage and interviewing candidates on behalf of area Realtors. When Realtors decide if they are going to support a candidate, they look at the candidate’s stance on issues such as private property rights, homeowners’ associations, property insurance and appraisal issues, according to Littlejohn.

Craig Chick, director of Public Affairs for the Texas Association of Realtors, said Littlejohn is exactly the kind of person the organization had in mind when creating the award. "The Strike Force Award is something we do to recognize those who go above and beyond in our election activities and other grassroots initiatives."

Littlejohn has been in the real estate business since 1993 and with Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors since 1996.

Realtor Josh Friedman becomes College Real Estate Specialist

(PRLEAP.COM) AUSTIN, Texas - December 13, 2007 – Josh Friedman, a Realtor with Tower Real Estate Inc. in Austin, has been named a College Real Estate Specialist by College Real Estate LLC, a company that recognizes the potential for property investments near U.S. college and university campuses. As a College Real Estate Specialist, Friedman helps connect students and their parents with residential real estate buying opportunities near the University of Texas campus. Friedman, who has about 13 years of experience in the Austin market, has an exclusive arrangement with College Real Estate’s nationwide network.

“When a parent or student seeks my guidance about buying property near the University of Texas campus, they can rest assured that they’re being served by a qualified, experienced College Real Estate Specialist,” Friedman says.

Stuart Frazier of Austin, co-founder and director of client relations at College Real Estate, says: “Josh Friedman is a member of a select group of College Real Estate Specialists who are equipped to deliver a higher degree of expertise and service than the majority of Realtors in college and university markets.”

On average, a student pays about $24,000 for housing while he or she is in college. College Real Estate was started on the premise of not wasting this money on rent, but investing it in property that can be a valuable long-term asset.

That asset is projected to become even more profitable in the near future.

According to Michael H. Zaransky, author of Profit by Investing in Student Housing (Kaplan Publishing, April 2006), student housing currently is one of the most robust niches in real estate investment. Why? The number of Americans who will reach college age – 18 – in the next decade is expected to hit 80 million. Meanwhile, many cash-strapped colleges and universities are running short of on-campus housing. This high-demand, low-supply formula produces enormous opportunities for real estate investors, according to Zaransky.

Enrollment in U.S. colleges and universities is predicted to climb from nearly 17.65 million in 2006 to nearly 18.75 million in 2010 to more than 19.87 million in 2015, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. From 2006 to 2015, that’s an enrollment increase of more than 12 percent.

“For parents of current and future college students, it makes perfect sense to buy housing near campuses as a convenience for their sons and daughters and as part of a solid investment strategy,” Frazier says.

About College Real Estate LLC
