What's Guy Fawkes Night?

Search For Homes


Guy Fawkes Night (also known as Bonfire Night, Cracker Night, Fireworks Night) is an annual celebration on the evening of the 5th of November. It celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder plot of the 5 November 1605 in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, England.

In the United Kingdom, celebrations take place in towns and villages across the country in the form of both private and civic events. They involve fireworks displays and the building of bonfires on which "guys" are burnt. These "guys" are traditionally effigies of Guy Fawkes, the most famous of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators.

What does this have to do with Kissimmee you might ask? Well, this year the British American Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Guy Fawkes Night at Kissimmee's Heritage Park opposite our very own Watson Realty office. It will feature all the sparklers, food, drinks, games and bonfire traditionally associated with the UK holiday, excluding the legendary cold weather of a English November night! It will be a great, fun, family evening! Come and join us! The fun starts at 6pm and admission is only $2!

Unlike in the U.K. and other countries where an agent can only represent you in what that agent’s agency has to sell, because of the Multiple Listing System that Realtors subscribe to, what we abbreviate to M.L.S., we are able to give you details of everything that is on the market no matter what company has the home listed. Once you are ready to view inside homes, we are able to arrange viewings for these homes and, should you find one to your liking, we are able to represent you in making an offer on that property. We are there for you through the various stages of your transaction until you finally complete on your home.

We specialize in foreign national buyers so you can look to us to be au fait with every detail of your purchase. We are from the U.K. and owned a vacation home in Florida prior to coming here to work in Real Estate. We feel that that makes us able to empathize with someone from another country now considering making a similar purchase.

What do customers think about how we do business?

Wayne and Susanna Parkhurst:

"We were having a hard time trying to get moved out of our apartment, which has been badly damaged by Hurricane Charley, and into our new house. Things kept being delayed by hurricanes Frances and Ivan approaching. Irena tapped into her resources and got everyone hustling to get our re-inspection and closing done by 4pm that day. She orchestrated the whole thing."

"I have never worked with a realtor who took such a personal interest and concern in finding and closing on the perfect house for our family. I will recommend Irena to all my friends and will call her should we ever decide to up size."

Benefits of Owning Your Own Home

Search For Homes

The Best Investment

As a fairly general rule, homes appreciate about five percent a year. Some years will be more, some less. The figure will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, and region to region. Five percent may not seem like that much at first. Stocks (at times) appreciate much more, and you could earn over six percent with the safest investment of all, treasury bonds.

But take a second look…

Presumably, if you bought a $200,000 house, you did not pay cash for the home. You got a mortgage, too. Suppose you put as much as twenty percent down – that would be an investment of $40,000.
At an appreciation rate of 5% annually, a $200,000 home would increase in value $10,000 during the first year. That means you earned $10,000 with an investment of $40,000. Your annual "return on investment" would be a whopping twenty-five percent. Of course, you are making mortgage payments and paying property taxes, along with a couple of other costs. However, since the interest on your mortgage and your property taxes are both tax deductible, the government is essentially subsidizing your home purchase. Your rate of return when buying a home is higher than most any other investment you could make.
