GROWING VOLUSIA LAW FIRM EXPANDS WEST…TO OFFICE BUILDING NEXT DOOR
PORT ORANGE – The personal-injury law firm of Rue & Ziffra, P.A. recently moved about one-half of its staff into a 6,000-square-foot office building adjacent to its original office at 623 Dunlawton Ave.
The two-story building on 1½ acres at 640 Dunlawton Ave., was purchased late last year for $600,000 from the Sunshine State Community Bank, according to firm President Allan L. Ziffra.
Ziffra said he had planned to build a new office because his staff of 40 was so crammed into their existing 7,000-square-foot building. But, he changed his mind when the 26-year-old former medical/real estate building next door became available through foreclosure.
“We renovated the building to add two additional conference rooms and accommodate about 24 people in four departments: Social Security, worker’s compensation, medical malpractice and litigation,” Ziffra said.
In addition to giving the staff more breathing space, Ziffra said the expansion also will provide attorneys and other staff members more privacy when meeting with their clients.
The building is the third office operated by the 25-year-old Port Orange-based law firm, as they opened an Orange City office at 2790 Enterprise Road in February of 2009.

BEAZER HOMES INTRODUCES “GET MORE FOR LESS” SALES EVENT FEB. 14-27
Great Savings on 100 Percent ENERGY STAR Homes
ATLANTA - Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH), one of the nation's top 10 homebuilders, is inviting prospective buyers who want to get more in a home and spend less to maintain it to come out Feb. 14- 27 and see first-hand all the ways that eco-friendly living can save money.
During the “Get More for Less” sales event, Beazer is offering qualified buyers tremendous values in all new home communities across the country.
This is a great time to pile on the savings because every home that Beazer starts after Feb. 14, 2011 will be an ENERGY STAR® home, meeting strict government standards for energy efficiency and comfort.
According to David Byrnes, Division President of Beazer’s Florida division, the combination of savings and value will add up quickly for those who have been waiting for just the right moment to purchase a brand new energy-efficient high-performance eSMART™ home.
“That moment has arrived and this opportunity should not be missed,” said Byrnes. “With great deals to be had right now and interest rates still at a 40-year low, this sales event comes at the perfect time for buyers who want to get more in a home and spend less for it.”
“We also want people to know that our eSMART homes exceed ENERGY STAR qualifications by adding more energy efficiency, more water conservation and more ways to improve indoor air quality.” he said. “Whether you’re just curious or committed to finding the ideal new home and neighborhood, come see our flexible floor plans, many design options and abundant energy-saving features.”
Beazer eSMART homes perform at a higher level because they are designed with a tighter home seal. Extra steps have been taken to insulate each home from the inside out, which keeps costs down, energy in, and preserves the quality of the home’s indoor air.
When measured against existing and new homes built to code, the savings from eSMART homes quickly add up. An online tool on Beazer’s website drills down the savings by state when compared to similar resale homes built 10 to 15 years ago, and can be seen at beazer.com/eSMART.

Golf Management Group Hosts Course-Wide Fundraiser for Woman Seriously Injured in Auto Accident
CELEBRATION, Fla. – Celebration Golf Management – which manages award-winning golf courses in Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee – will host a Charity Putt-Off on Feb. 26 and 27 with the proceeds going to help with medical expenses for an Arizona teacher who suffered critical injuries in an automobile accident last month (January) in Phoenix.
The event, which will be held at some of CGM’s seven courses, will offer the golfer who gets closest to the pin each day at each course his or her choice of several prizes, according to Celebration Golf Management President Gene Garrote.
“We’re hoping to have a great turnout for this event with $5 for every attempt being donated to a much-needed cause,” Garrote said. “The grand prize for the golfer who makes the putt will receive a full GCM golf makeover, including free golf, new equipment and instruction.”
Golfers coming closest to the pin can choose from tickets to Disney World, SeaWorld, rounds of golf or hotel stays, he said.
The event, which has been dubbed “Rebecca’s Road to Recovery,” will support Rebecca Holzworth – a longtime friend of John Bixler, Celebration Golf Club’s event manager. It will be held at Celebration Golf Club; Legends Golf Club and King’s Ridge Golf Club, Clermont and Stoneybrook West Golf Club, Winter Garden.
Holzworth, a math teacher at Maricopa High School in Maricopa, AZ, sustained multiple broken bones and severe brain trauma in the Jan. 21 accident that has left her in intensive care in a Scottsdale hospital, unable to respond to verbal commands, according to family members.
The cum laude graduate of Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio, was a four-year starter and two-year captain on the women’s volleyball team, and received an All-Ohio student athlete award for excellence in the classroom and on the court.
Bixler said the swelling in Holzworth’s brain is intense and has been the main concern for both the doctors and her family.
“Becca is the kind of person that always has a smile on her face. You can’t help but be in a good mood when you’re around her. Her recovery is going to be a long one and will require the support and prayers of many,” he said.
For more information about the golf benefit, contact Bixler at 407-566-1047 or jbixler@celebrationgolf.com. For details about Holzworth, please visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/rebeccaholzworth.

Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty Hopes Speed Week in Daytona Beach could be Big Opportunity for Area Realtors
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty hopes Speed Week in Daytona Beach could be a big opportunity for area Realtors. The Stirling Sotheby’s firm has marshaled a team of luxury home specialist’s who plan to present their credentials to NASCAR owners and drivers arriving for the big race.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said NASCAR owners and drivers represent a major market opportunity for the Daytona Beach area.
Rachel McGrath and Debbie Keilin, international luxury home specialist with Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, hope to capitalize on their personal endorsement from NASCAR icon Mike Skinner during the event.
“Many of the NASCAR owners and drivers fly their own airplanes,” Keilin said. “They can live anywhere, and the Daytona Beach area really is one of the best places in America for them to own a home,” she said.
“Market conditions in the Daytona Beach region couldn’t be better,” McGrath added.
“Luxury home prices are at their lowest in more than a decade and there are incredible values here.” McGrath said. “This window of opportunity won’t last long,” she added.
Rachel McGrath and Debbie Keilin represent Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty in the Volusia County area.
Central Florida’s five-year market decline has left prices down 40-60 percent from the market high and many home sellers have held off placing their homes on the market hoping for a recovery.
“Pricing stabilization has taken a long time, and price increases won’t be realized until sometime in the future,” Keilin said. “Home sellers who are holding off waiting for better market conditions may miss out on the greatest buying opportunity if they are looking to purchase a new residence,” she said.
While sellers may realize a lower price than they might hope for, they also have the opportunity to acquire another residence for much less than they could before.
“The market is adjusting and today we are at the point where we have a new pricing normal,” McGrath explained.
“Real estate remains a neighborhood business. Some neighborhoods with homes less distressed are performing better than other neighborhoods. Property owners who are selling in today’s market and repurchasing are finding themselves in a win-win situation,” she added.
