Q &A

A Glance At The Orlando Florida Market

with Denise Batista WITH LAUREN CORNMAN

I am from Passos, Minas Gerais - Brazil.

I come from a simple and traditional family from the countryside at a very young age, I always looked out for what is best for me and my family.

Today, I am married with two beautiful children, and I have a very comfortable life. I can say that in all these years living in America, I have fulfilled all my dreams.

It is in Orlando where I found the real estate investment field and fell in love with it. I help families and investors to make their dreams come true in the Magic City.

Now that you know a little about me, I invite you to learn more about my work.

What are some notable aspects of this incredible listing?

Denise: The Grove Resort & Water Park is a spectacular vacation home located just 5 minutes from Walt Disney World and close to Central Florida’s main attractions. Investing in a fully furnished vacation home at The Grove Resort is undoubtedly a guarantee of a lifetime of good memories, as well as a great source of income throughout the year.

Why should buyers invest?

Denise: Investing in real estate is probably one of the safest investments anyone can make, whether the owner wants to live in the property, rent it out, or use it seasonally, especially in Central Florida.

22

H A V E N L I F E ST Y L E S . C O M

This particular condominium unit is located in a high-demand area, with 75 million visitors every year. On top of that, this property gives access to full-services and first-class amenities.

The resort, HOA, and Rental program are managed on-site by Paramount Hospitality, a company specialized in managing upscale resorts and providing maximum efficiency and cost-effective services to owners that would help to generate revenue to offset the cost of ownership, like turnkey rental and condominium management services.

Why should prospective homebuyers look into Orlando?

Denise: Orlando owns the title of the City Beautiful, and there is a reason for it. It is the most visited place on Earth, with over 800 flights per day and tens of millions of visitors looking to have a good time in the World’s Theme Park Capital.

It is also a paradise for shoppers. The city ranked number one in the US market for Real Estate Investments in 2019, by Forbes. In 2018, Orlando was in the list of the top 10 American Cities of the Future and one of the country’s five fastestgrowing cities.

Orlando has excellent infrastructure, great weather throughout the year, and it’s located just a few miles away from Florida’s most beautiful beaches, like Clearwater and Cocoa Beach.

How would your clients describe you?

Denise: I think they believe I am a very relatable person. They know I’ve been there. I have a career based on carefully building each step to accomplish my goals personally and professionally. I am also very transparent with my clients, and it helps them to feel comfortable

that I have the expertise they need to find them the best deal possible. So, when they get their homes, I celebrate with them because I know how important that is, and I feel thrilled I worked to make that happen. You can check my clients’ reviews on my website!

What is the key to your success?

Denise: I believe it is empathy. Since most of my clientele come from different countries, especially from Brazil, I know how important it is to make them feel safe. Buying a house is already a big step by itself, let alone buying internationally!

I make sure to build a relationship based on trust with my clients. I call it “One Stop Solution” because I offer all the services they need, from looking for the best property to fit in the budget, putting the paperwork together, to even choosing the final decoration. I like to believe that I do not sell a house to my clients. I sell them A Dream.

How has the pandemic affected your work?

Denise: I knew it would be a difficult moment, so I doubled my dedication. I used all the technical apparel available. I started making these beautiful 360o videos to allow my clients to walk through the houses, did drone footage to show the complex, worked via video-calls. I used every tool I have to make my clients feel like they were doing a good deal even if they had never been to the actual property before. And it all has paid off.

3 Ways to Transition

Your Home for the Fall With fall just around the corner, everyone is looking to update their space for the new season. While the temperature slowly drops, we’re getting ready to spend even more time indoors. Here are some tips for transitioning your space from summer to fall!

Credit: Anastasiya Yilmaz

\

Warm Brown Tones By incorporating warm and brown toned materials such as bronze and wood, you immediately give any room a more welcoming and inviting aesthetic—whether you’re going for a mid-century modern approach or a more rustic and cozy feel.

Other small ways of changing your interiors for the season is by incorporating different textures and earth tones with pillows and throws. From velvet to different patterns, incorporating a new and different fabric can uplift a space, whether it’s new shades in the bathroom or fun throw pillows for your bed.

Fall is all about connecting with nature and bringing the outdoors inside, something that feels especially relevant this time of year.

Accent pieces are a great way to also add something new without having to put in too much work. Pieces just as centerpiece bowls (which come in several different materials) are just some of the many ways you can create a warmer feel.

Credit: Kara Eads

/

Forest Green Accents Hunter Green and Forest Green tones are especially popular for the upcoming season. While still continuing to bring in natural elements and colors, it’s reminiscent of the outdoors. If you’re looking for a new project, consider buying some new paint (we recommend Saybrook Sage and Martha’s Vineyard 630 from Benjamin Moore) and painting an accent wall or an entire room.

Recently, dark green velvet furniture pieces have also become more popular for the fall— from modern stools for desks to classic dining room chairs! If you’re living room or study feels bare or in need of sprucing, an accent furniture piece can add a pop of color and create a focal point for the room.

\

Natural Arrangements Incorporating centerpieces and arrangements, whether it’s on your kitchen table, dining room table or even in your bathroom, is a fantastic way to bring the outdoors within and set the tone for the season. Some perfect floral options for putting together an arrangement include celosias, mums, and sweet alyssums.

H A V E N L I F E ST Y L E S . C O M

Another great accent piece is candles—an affordable and simple way to instantly warm up a space and make it feel more cozy. Feel free to pair different materials and colors to compliment the current color palette of your space. Options like bronze or wood candle holders with tall candles in rich, deep colored hues is the perfect way to instantly make any room feel more cozy and inviting.

5 KITCHEN

Gadgets YOU’LL LOVE IN 2020

gadgets To be honest, a kitchen space looks much better when it’s well equipped. Upgrading your kitchen gadgets to the latest versions helps in energy conservation, makes your life easier, and makes cleaning up a lot less hectic.

WRITTEN BY NELLIE RODRIGUEZ

Can Opener Listen, there are many things you can live without in your kitchen, but a can opener is not one of them. Opening canned foods should not always result in messy spills or occasional cuts.

Get yourself a Kuhn Rikon can opener to make meal prep less messy. Also, you don’t have to ruin your nails or fiddle with plastic bottles for hours. Additionally, this model comes with tweezers that will remove the lids for you.

Mandoline Whether you do it once a week or daily, meal prep is an exhausting and draining task. The cubing, the cutting, or julienning is impossible to achieve with perfect precision, especially if you’re not a seasoned professional.

Get yourself a mandoline and save yourself all this trouble. You cut back on the prep time, use half the effort, and the end result is just picture perfect.

Mandolines have adjustable blades that allow you to vary the thickness or cutting style. This kind of flexibility is exactly what you need to bring excitement back into meal preparation.

Knife Sharpener Honestly, certain kitchen gadgets are underestimated.

In this category falls the knife sharpener. Like, who wants to be stuck with meal prep duties with dull knives? Not only is it tiring and frustrating, but it’s also very likely to end in an accident.

To avoid petty frustrations, badly cut food, or bloody countertops, get yourself the best knife sharpener you can afford. Modern knife sharpeners are sleek and elegant on the outside, and they don’t take up your precious kitchen space. In addition, they are user-friendly and safe to use.

We’ll let you in on something, nothing will frustrate you more than slow traffic in the late morning and an under-equipped kitchen area. You may think this is an acute exaggeration, but try prepping a meal without the right equipment or tools. So why not invest in decent kitchen gadgets and tools? Not only do they add life to your kitchen, but improved versions tend to take up less space and use less energy.

Kitchen gadgets to make life easier work by increasing the efficiency and convenience of your space.

Certainly, there are those best kitchen gadgets on https://mykitchenadvisor.com you can’t live without, but there are others that you never even knew you needed. It can be quite rough to keep up with all these new tools and equipment, and it’s even tougher to decide on what’s worth it and what’s a waste. So, here are the basic kitchen gadgets must-haves 2020.

Air Fryer You must really despise convenience and efficiency if you haven’t got an air fryer yet. They are faster, less messy, and use up a whole less amount of oil to get the job done. In addition, your fried foods will have the same texture and taste as traditionally deep-fried food, if not better.

This is a smart investment for a home that’s trying to achieve healthier eating habits. Not only does an air fryer save your cooking oil, but it saves your health too.

Smart Instant Cooker Martha Stewart may make it look cool, but cleaning up a kitchen space is no fun, especially if there are tens of gadgets and equipment lying around. Not to mention the pots and pans that need to be cleaned.

So how about getting an 8-in-1 cooking appliance that significantly lessens the cleaning load? The Instant Pot Smart Wi-Fi is definitely something you should consider getting. It is super-efficient, fast, and precise, and not to mention multi-functional. The Wi-Fi function allows you to set and monitor your meals from any room. Now, who wouldn’t want a piece of that?

CONCLUSION:

All things considered, upgrading your kitchen on what’s new kitchen gadgets policy is not an entirely bad idea.

It allows you to get the best and most effective kitchen gadgets and tools while making your kitchen space look trendy and updated.

What are some of the kitchen gadgets and tools that you can’t live without? Drop your favorite kitchen gadgets and their uses, and don’t forget to tell us why you love each one!

Sustainable Pantry

Must Haves for your kitchen Are you mindful of the products you consume? Do you only purchase from brands that ethically source their ingredients but want to do more?

The zero-waste movement has gained popularity with many businesses and individuals adapting to this lifestyle.

Switching out single use items and your disposable goods will not only aid in sustainable living but will be more eco friendly! Reusing is a good waste management method since it reduces the need for natural resources such as timber, petroleum and other resources. This not only saves energy, but helps conserve the environment. Here are a few essentials for your sustainable kitchen!

Mesh Bags Instead of bringing home those clear plastic bags from the produce section, why not switch to a mesh bag that is reusable and breathable for all your fresh fruits and vegetables! These bags can be stored in the refrigerator and even double as grocery bags.

Reusable Storage Bags

Credit: Taryn Elliot

Silpat Sheets

Finding an alternative to zip locs will significantly reduce the amount of trash that you dispose of. Rather than using plastic bags, switching to silicone is a great option since it’s non-toxic, easy to clean and can handle hot and cold temperatures. Silicone bags also last much longer!

This one is particularly for those that enjoy baking! Silpat is a perfect replacement for parchment paper. The mats are made from food grade silicone and are non-stick so there’s no use for oil or cooking sprays. They are also durable and can withstand up to a temperature of 480 Fahrenheit.

Mason Jars and Glass Food Storage Yes plastic containers may be convenient, but making the swap from plastic to glass containers is overall better for the environment. Glass is non-porous and doesn’t absorb any germs which is overall better for your health. Also, an added bonus is its durability! With glass there’s no worry of staining and cracking.

Dishcloths and Napkins The U.S uses more than 13 billion pounds of paper towels each year, making a ton of paper towels requires up to 17 trees.

Instead of going through roll after roll of paper towels to clean your kitchen messes, opt for dish cloths and napkins that are eco friendly and an aesthetically pleasing option. Plus, this reduces the time used taking out the trash.

Source: Ready Made

Reusable Straws Many restaurants are banning the use of plastic straws and so should you! Plastic straws cause pollution and have particularly affected our oceans harming marine life and ecosystems. You can swap the plastic and choose between stainless steel, glass and bamboo. Stainless steel, however, is the most recommended due to its durability and aesthetically pleasing design.
