NAI Realvest Forms Central Florida Commercial Property Investment Services Group
MAITLAND - NAI Realvest, which ranks as one of Central Florida’s largest commercial property companies, has formed a Commercial Property Investment Services Group to serve investors and property owners throughout the Central Florida region.

Avalon Park Poised with Unique Opportunities for Medical Office, Residential Growth
ORLANDO, Fla. - Avalon Park in east Orlando, in the heart of Innovation Way, is poised for growth in medical professional offices and unique opportunities for private practitioners, including office-residential space.
Ross Halle, vice president of architecture and town planner at Avalon Park, said the 11-year-old community now features more than 3,500 homes on 1,860 acres with elementary, middle, technical and high schools, and a downtown district that will soon feature more than one million square feet of commercial space, rental apartments and town homes and public facilities.
“There are more than 10,000 people within a one mile radius of downtown Avalon Park and more than 50,000 people within a three-mile radius,” Halle said. “Almost half of the households near downtown Avalon Park earn more than $100,000 annually,” he said.
Avalon Park’s unique location – centrally located between the new Medical City, University of Central Florida, Central Florida Research Park and Orlando International Airport has earned its recognition as “Downtown East Orlando,” said Brendon Dedekind, director of business development for Avalon Park Group.
“Our new 45,000 square foot medical office building, which opened this year, is the perfect location for private and clinical practice health care professionals,” Dedekind said.
Development is underway of senior living facilities that will provide a wide range of services, including Alzheimer’s care.
Dedekind said the developer offers certain incentives including capital investment and attractive financing options.
“Avalon Park has matured as the optimal community to live, work and play,” Halle said.

Commercial Real Estate, Investment Analyst Sees Mixed Signals on Economy, Housing News Promising
Commercial Real Estate, Investment Analyst Sees Mixed Signals on Economy, Housing News Promising
ORLANDO, Fla. - Veteran commercial real estate and investments analyst George Livingston, chairman emeritus of NAI Realvest in Maitland, said the Federal Bank of Atlanta’s recent economic update reports mixed signals on the U.S. economy but good news for the U.S. housing market.
While consumer gauges---the U.S. Consumer Confidence Index and the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index---showed declines, capital goods orders increased modestly in June for the first time in more than a year.
Two major housing indices may signal a bottoming of the housing slump and the path toward recovery. The widely respected Case-Shiller Home Price Index was up, Livingston said, and new and existing single-family home sales were up in June for the third month in a row---and higher than industry expectations.
“It appears the housing market may be recovering and the rest of the economy is lagging,” said Livingston.

Personal Financial Advice that’s Critical: Take Charge of Your Own Funds, Learn How to Analyze Investments, says Glen Mather
Personal Financial Advice that’s Critical: Take Charge of Your Own Funds, Learn How to Analyze Investments, says Glen Mather, head of Entrust Administrative Services
ORLANDO, Fla. - Whether you’re 35 or 60, three things are certain in today’s economic climate: things aren’t the way they once were, you can’t trust anyone to manage your savings, and you must learn how to think for yourself.
Those are strong words, and they come from someone who should know: Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, LLC, which administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts valued at more than $200 million.
“The handwriting’s on the wall and it’s a topic on just about every evening news program,” said Mather, whose company won’t offer investment advice, even when asked. “From financial meltdowns to financial scandals to economic downturns, it’s clear that people who want to save for their future, and especially for their retirement, must take charge of their own destiny,” Mather said.
That’s not easy in a world where Wall Street speculators and high-powered fund managers have upended markets, invented bubbles and shaken some of the bluest blue-chip corporations like rag dolls, Mather sympathized.
Mather doesn’t mean to point fingers. “That’s a job for the courts and the regulatory agencies,” Mather said. “Our goal is to educate, motivate and facilitate individuals who are making their own best decisions,” he said.
“Over the past few years we have seen an incredible amount of capital erosion,” Mather explained. “What we used to think of as safe bets have proved no more predictable than a Vegas roulette wheel. Real estate has shed 40 percent of its value, impacting good neighborhoods and benchmark commercial properties as much as the rest. Blue chip corporations, the bastions of the American economy, are filing for bankruptcy protection and standing in line for government bailouts. Some of the most trusted names in financial services are victims to greed and manipulation, threatening the financial security of our nation,” Mather said.
The only antidote is for each of us to mend our ways.
“It is imperative that we take control of our own financial future,” Mather warned. “If we simply hand our savings over to financial managers, don’t get involved, and wait for the returns to roll in, we may end up broke and hungry and---like 50 percent of people over the age of 65 today---working part or full-time through our retirement,” he said.
The antidote is education---lots of it.
“We have to learn the fundamentals of the financial markets. We have to learn how to analyze the news, read between the lines, and understand the difference between market indicators and marketing propaganda,” he said.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Whether you’re 35 or 60, three things are certain in today’s economic climate: things aren’t the way they once were, you can’t trust anyone to manage your savings, and you must learn how to think for yourself.
Those are strong words, and they come from someone who should know: Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, LLC, which administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts valued at more than $200 million.
“The handwriting’s on the wall and it’s a topic on just about every evening news program,” said Mather, whose company won’t offer investment advice, even when asked. “From financial meltdowns to financial scandals to economic downturns, it’s clear that people who want to save for their future, and especially for their retirement, must take charge of their own destiny,” Mather said.
That’s not easy in a world where Wall Street speculators and high-powered fund managers have upended markets, invented bubbles and shaken some of the bluest blue-chip corporations like rag dolls, Mather sympathized.
Mather doesn’t mean to point fingers. “That’s a job for the courts and the regulatory agencies,” Mather said. “Our goal is to educate, motivate and facilitate individuals who are making their own best decisions,” he said.
“Over the past few years we have seen an incredible amount of capital erosion,” Mather explained. “What we used to think of as safe bets have proved no more predictable than a Vegas roulette wheel. Real estate has shed 40 percent of its value, impacting good neighborhoods and benchmark commercial properties as much as the rest. Blue chip corporations, the bastions of the American economy, are filing for bankruptcy protection and standing in line for government bailouts. Some of the most trusted names in financial services are victims to greed and manipulation, threatening the financial security of our nation,” Mather said.
The only antidote is for each of us to mend our ways.
“It is imperative that we take control of our own financial future,” Mather warned. “If we simply hand our savings over to financial managers, don’t get involved, and wait for the returns to roll in, we may end up broke and hungry and---like 50 percent of people over the age of 65 today---working part or full-time through our retirement,” he said.
The antidote is education---lots of it.
“We have to learn the fundamentals of the financial markets. We have to learn how to analyze the news, read between the lines, and understand the difference between market indicators and marketing propaganda,” he said.

Entrust Administrative Services Launches Web-Based Seminars, Classes to Educate Retirement Investors
LAKE MARY, Fla. - Entrust Administrative Services, which provides administrative services for more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts that total more than $200 million, has launched a new web-based program of live streaming videos and webinars at http://www.entrustfl.com/ to educate retirement investors.
Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, said the webinars and live streaming classes are provided free to interested investors.
“Our webinars and live streaming classes are designed to educate adults of all ages about the opportunities available to them to invest their own retirement funds,” Mather said.
What began as a service directed at retirement-aged adults has expanded to include younger adults, Mather explained.
“We serve many people in their 30s and 40s who are accumulating tax-free retirement accounts and who prefer to invest those funds rather than trust them to fund managers,” Mather said.
“We’re seeing a major shift in the way people save for retirement, and knowledgeable, well-educated investors can generate higher returns within their retirement accounts if they pay attention to all the investment vehicles available to them,” Mather explained.
Mather said self-directed retirement accounts in the U.S. represent a major new source of capital for private investment that could have profound effects on U.S. economic growth.
“Self-directed retirement accounts offer the most promising new trend in U.S. capital investment,” Mather said.

Entrust Administrative Services to Launch Sunday Morning Radio Program to Advise Small Investors on “Capital Ideas”
LAKE MARY, Fla. - Entrust Administrative Services, which administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts with a net worth of more than $200 million from offices in Lake Mary, Jacksonville and Boca Raton, is sponsoring the launch of “Capital Ideas,” a one-hour radio program on WORL-660 AM to advise small investors on new investment opportunities.
Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, said he plans to host special guests and investment experts to talk about alternative investment opportunities.
The program will kick off May 24 at 9 a.m.
“Most investors are familiar with stocks and bonds and we’ll touch on those topics, but we plan to focus on the sorts of alternative investment opportunities that can be overlooked by many investors,” Mather said.
Mather said Capital Ideas will capture the real power of American capital in today’s economy.
“With all the attention on bailouts and macro economics, we’ve overlooked the most important element in our financial system, the millions of small investors who have worked hard all their lives and now hold the power to save the U.S. economy,” Mather said.
“Capital Ideas will celebrate their new power in this economy and analyze ways they are rebuilding the American economic system from the grassroots right up to the power centers,” he said.

George Livingston: Last Quarter was The Worst, This One will be Better, Positive Growth should start by December
George Livingston: Last Quarter was The Worst, This One will be Better, Positive Growth should start by December
MAITLAND, Fla. - The first quarter of 2009 was the worst of the recession, according to longtime area market analyst George Livingston, chairman emeritus of Orlando-area based NAI Realvest.
“The current quarter will be less bad, and we’re already seeing signs of improvement, but we won’t see positive growth until the last quarter of this year or the first quarter of next year,” Livingston said.
“Initial recovery will be slow, full recovery won’t occur until well into the next decade,” Livingston said.
“Consumer confidence is low but it is getting better, and the same can be said for business confidence,” Livingston said.
“Profits are improving in some cases. Banks should do better as we move forward and the third quarter should see broad improvement in corporate earnings,” he said.
Livingston said housing should bottom by year-end, and recovery will be slow due to the drag of foreclosures. “When the housing market recovers, we won’t see the sort of peaks we’ve seen in the past,” he said.
The reason? “Unemployment will continue to increase through year-end,” Livingston said. “Job creation will be slow."
Economic trends will continue to have a negative effect on most commercial real estate sectors, Livingston added, including retail, office, warehouse and distribution.
“Rental apartments should be among the first to recover,” Livingston said.
