Kathy Robey-Holman
Kathy comes to St. Augustine with 30 years’ experience as a realtor and broker in Virginia. After graduating from St. Joseph’s Academy in McSherrystown,PA, and the University of Miami , she moved to Virginia, raised her 3 children, and pursued her real estate career. She eventually attained membership in the Lifetime Top Producers Club.
Her passions, aside from real estate and the beach, include boating, reading, knitting, visits from her children and 8 grandkids, her Lhasa Apso, Tess, and a new love, riding her Harley with husband Dick!
Kathy and Dick moved to St. Augustine in 2010. They had visited her parents here for 25 years, and realized it was a very special place. What could be more fun than selling real estate at the beach! She is looking forward to establishing her career here, and helping lots of folks to appreciate all things St. Augustine … especially the real estate!

FirstAtlantic Bank opened its first branch at
Palencia in February of 2008. We are St
Augustine’s newest community bank with local
decision making. We are Northeast Florida’s
only 5 star rated community bank by Bauer
Financial and a top 5 SBA lender in 2010 in
Northeast Florida.
As a new bank we missed most of the real
estate crisis and are one of the few banks who
are aggressively looking for commercial and
small business loans. We will finance up to 90%
of current value on owner-occupied real estate
and will finance income producing properties,
new construction, renovations, and expansion.
We have great rates on both loans and deposit
accounts.
I have been a commercial and small business
lender in St. Augustine for 26 years. St.
Augustine is a very special place and it has
been very good to us. My wife Jaime and I
moved to St. Augustine in 1985. Jaime is a
school teacher at Otis Mason School and we
have raised two boys here, Chris and Alex. This is
our home and I pride myself in helping my
neighbors, friends, and all those in St. Johns
County who have needed financing. The first 24
years of lending were fun, exciting, and very
rewarding. The last 2 have been challenging. I
am very grateful to be with FirstAtlantic Bank
who is committed to help those who need
financing and to provide the best banking
services available.
If you have a business/commercial transaction
or a customer who doesn’t meet the
conventional loan product, give me a call. I would
be happy to sit down and discuss their needs
and help them find a solution to get the deal
done. I am located at 105 CBL Drive in the
Cobblestone Village off 312/US1. Please call me
at 904-446-2558 with any questions or
opportunities you might have.

The Old City is the perfect spot to celebrate the nation’s birthday. There is always something happening in St Augustine,
and the city is always well worth a visit.
Take a stroll in the historic downtown district, enjoy the many quaint shops and restaurants and the atmosphere, before
heading to the waterfront for fireworks.
Get an Early Start with Fireworks at the World Golf Village If you want to start off your Fourth of July weekend early, head to the World Golf Village on Friday, July 1, 2011. This is

p.m.. For more information contact the CVB at 904.825.1005

The Fourth of July is arguably summer’s most popular and
celebrated holiday. And, like most occasions, you can take steps to
make sure you and your fellow party goers remember to keep
Mother Nature in mind while you celebrate.
So, whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or traveling to see
your local fireworks show, remember some of these helpful tips to
stay green this 4th of July.
When determining if your disposable dishes can be recycled, take
into consideration the following: If food can be cleaned from the
product (in the case of some plastic tableware), and if it has a
plastic recycling symbol that is accepted by your community,
generally it can be recycled.
1 . P A S S O N P L A S T I C P A R T Y W A R E
They’re popular and easy: Plastic, ready-to-go plates, cups and
utensils are convenient for parties with a lot of guests. The down
side, they’re not so convenient for the environment.
To avoid this, do your best to use normal tableware that can just be
washed and reused. If you must go the disposable route, clean
them up (they’re often washable) and use them at your next big
gathering.
Also, make sure to recycle your plastics when they’re not usable
anymore. Check the resin number (#1-#7) to see if it’s accepted by
your curbside recycling program. If not, check out our recycling
search for drop-off locations near you. Be aware, if paper plates
are more your style, they will have to be thrown out or composted
due to food residue.
2 . T A K E T H E C E L E B R A T I O N O U T D O O R S
Even though temperatures might be soaring, most Fourth of July
parties don’t get exciting until the evening. So, take advantage of
the cooler evening weather and throw your party outdoors. It’s a
great way to enjoy nature and reduce the energy costs of using
indoor facilities.
3 . G R E E N Y O U R M E N U
For barbecue lovers, there’s nothing better (or more traditional)
than grilled food on the Fourth of July. But, instead of heading to
your traditional meat and veggie aisles, consider using locally
grown organic food this holiday.
It might surprise you, but nearly everything on your menu can be
replaced with its organic cousin. It’s a great way to introduce
family and friends to delicious organic foods while helping the
environment by reducing chemicals used in processed foods and
the transportation costs that usually come with shipping non-local
food products.
4 . S A V E ( A N D R E U S E ) Y O U R
D E C O R A T I O N S
If you’ve hosted Independence Day celebrations before, you know
the décor is often the same: streamers, party favors and table
toppers all in bold red, white and blue. Sadly, most people often use
these decorations once and then throw them out. But they can be
reused year after year! So, this year, after the party’s over, take the
time to store and save your decorations. You or someone you know
can use them again next year, which helps to save on a bit of
unneeded trash.
Fireworks also release heavy metals like lead into the air. If you do
put on a backyard show, opt for fireworks rich in nitrogen. These
may cost a little more, but you’ll have less smoke.5. Eco-Friendly
Fireworks
Fireworks are hardly an environmentally friendly activity, but
they’re an unwavering Fourth of July tradition. If you’re setting off
your own fireworks this year, be sure to use fireworks rich in nitro-
gen. They often cost a bit more but put out less smoke into the
environment.
Another option is to gather your group and go see your local
fireworks display. It’s a great way to see a much bigger fireworks
show and negates you from harming the environment with your
own personal display.
6 . B A R B E C U E W I T H P R O P A N E
To help reduce your grill’s carbon footprint this Independence Day,
make sure to grill with propane – it burns the cleanest, which causes
less smoke. It can also help to keep a fire going longer, which is
obviously a classic grilling goal.
To be even more earth friendly with your grilling, make sure to
recycle your propane tanks once it’s empty.
7 . G A T H E R I N L A R G E G R O U P S
This may seem like a no-brainer for such a popular holiday, but the
larger a group you gather (preferably outdoors), the less energy you
use at individual parties that may take place indoors. Plus, the more
people to help prepare and purchase food, the less of a cost it is to
each individual. Just make sure your fellow party goers know these
green tips!
8 . U S E L A R G E W A T E R C O N T A I N E R S
Plastic water bottles are convenient, but like other disposable
goods, they can add up fast. In lieu of individual plastic bottles,
store water for your family or guests in large containers so they can
re-fill their reusable water bottles or reusable cups. If you must use
plastic water bottles, be sure to encourage your guests to recycle
them.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could create an online business card
with links to your contact information, webpage, facebook page,

Two companies have launched creative solutions answering this
question: Follr.com & SocialBios.com. Both companies devel-
oped their products with real estate agents in mind.

mation via a personal website address (i.e. follr.me/jordan & so-
cialbios.com/jordan).

features (each service has many more features & benefits than
listed below, this is just a quick glance – check them out for your-
self)…

expensive solution finally exists.

SocialBios.com
SocialBios.com (formally peep.ly ) describes their service as
the ultimate “about us” page that brings together all of your
social network profile information in one place.
SocialBios.com, was selected, by popular vote via text mes-
sage, as a new technology product that would most benefit the
real estate industry. Voters made their choice after five tech
startups pitched their products at a “New Kids on the Block”
presentation at the Inman News Real Estate Connect confer-
ence last week in New York.
SocialBios.com is clean, intuitive and easy to navigate. Com-
pared to Follr.com, SocialBios.com has a sterile feel to it’s
aesthetic. The absence of bold colors and oversized icons is
noticeable between the two sites, but nothing is lost in func-
tionality or ease-of-use.
Please remember this is only a quick overview of two great
websites emerging from infancy. Both companies are working
hard to innovate and improve their services – check them out

Last month we talked about the basics for your home; locks, lighting, and landscaping.
Remember to keep all your locks (on doors and windows) locked and install motion detector
lights all around your home. And don't forget the 3 Foot/10 Foot Rule for your bushes and
trees. This month we want to discuss how to get you safely from your home to your destina-
tion.
Becoming a Road Warrior: Avoiding Dangerous Situations in Your Car
Leaving Your Home
First, let's discuss how you leave your house. If you're like most people I know, you leave your
house (especially in the morning) hurried and carrying a lot of stuff. You're most likely on the
phone too. If you're parked in your garage, you open the garage door as you walk out, put your
stuff in the passenger seat or the back seat, get in and go. But did you take a moment to look
around for anything suspicious? Do you realize how easy it would have been for someone to
walk up and grab you as you stood outside your car chatting on the phone or messing with
some files in your briefcase?
So how do we make leaving a garage safer? First, don't open the garage door until you are
ready to pull out. Put your stuff in your car, get in, turn on the car, adjust your mirrors and
buckle up before you open the garage door. Also, if at all possible, when you park in a garage,
pull in backwards. This way once you open the door you can see straight out into your
neighborhood.
If you don't have a garage, take a moment and look outside before you leave your house. If
you see anything suspicious, don't go outside, contact local law enforcement. If the
neighborhood looks secure, walk quickly to your car, get in and get going. Do not spend a lot
of time doing other things while you sit in the car in the driveway.
Driving
The best things you can do to prevent dangerous situations on the road is by staying aware
and keeping your car well maintained. We all make phone calls while in our car, even though
our main focus should always be on the road. But take a few moments when you stop at a red
light or stop sign to look around and be aware of what's going on around you. If something
seems suspicious or makes you feel uncomfortable, pay attention to it. Wait to make that
phone call or send that text message. And remember that nothing, not even your car, is worth
your life.

4th of July by the Numbers
On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, starting the 13
colonies on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation. As always, this most American of holidays will be marked by
parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues across the country.
Patriotic Places- 30
Number of places nationwide with "liberty" in their name. The most populous one is Liberty, Missouri (26,232). Iowa
has more of these places than any other state: four (Libertyville, New Liberty, North Liberty and West Liberty).
Eleven places have "independence" in their name. The most populous of these is Independence, Missouri, with
113,288 residents. Five places adopted the name "freedom." Freedom, California, with 6,000 residents, has the largest population
among these. There is one place named "patriot" — Patriot, Indiana, with a population of 202.
And what could be more fitting than spending the day in a place called "America"? There are five such places in the country, with the most populous being American Fork, Utah, with 21,941 residents.
Fourth of July Barbecue Cookout
As with many holidays, the 4th of July celebration includes food, drink and the realization of how fortunate we are as a
nation. More than 66 million Number of Americans who said they have taken part in a barbecue during the previous year. It's probably safe to assume a large number of these events took place on the Fourth. Although we do not have a fixed menu for the celebration of the Fourth, you can almost count on traditional favorites such as hamburgers and hot dogs, chicken, ribs, garden salads, potato salad, chips and watermelon. Following is a summary of where these foods come from: There's a 1-in-6 chance the beef on your backyard grill came from Texas. The Lone Star State is the leader in the production of cattle and calves. The chicken on your barbecue grill probably came from one of the top broiler-producing states: Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Mississippi.
The lettuce in your salad or on your hamburger probably was grown in California, which accounts for nearly three-quarters of USA lettuce production.
Fresh tomatoes in your salad most likely came from Florida or California, which, combined, produced more than two-thirds of U.S. tomatoes. The ketchup on your hamburger or hot dog probably came from California, which accounted for 95 percent of processed tomato production last year.
As to potato salad or potato chips or fries, Idaho and Washington produces about one-half of the nation's spuds.
For dessert, six states — California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Indiana — combined to produce about 80 percent of watermelons last year. The British are Coming!
"The British are coming! The British are coming!" These days, this cry applies to tourists rather than "redcoats." Nearly 5 million tourists from the UK visited the United States in a recent year, more than from any other country except Japan. $74 billion
Dollar volume of trade last year between the United States and the United Kingdom, making the U.K., our adversary in 1776, our sixth-leading trading partner today.

4th of July by the Numbers
Fourth of July Fireworks
$128.8 million
The value of fireworks imported from China, representing the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imports ($135.6 million) in 2002. U.S. exports of fireworks, by comparison, amounted to $13.5 million, with Germany purchasing more than any other single country ($5.0 million).
Imports of U.S. Flags
$7.9 million
The dollar value of U.S. imports of American flags in 2002; more than half of this amount ($5.2 million) was for U.S. flags made in China. This was down from the 2001 dollar value of U.S. flag imports ($51.7 million), but still considerably higher than the total for 2000 ($747,800). That was the last full year prior to 9/11.
$646,452
Dollar value of exports of U.S. flags in 2002. Japan was the leading customer, purchasing $86,189 worth.
125,000
Number of U.S. flags flown over the U.S. Capitol last year at the request of House and Senate members. On July 4 alone, 1,200 were flown over Washington, D.C. (From the U.S. Capitol Flag Room.)
$272 million
Annual dollar value of shipments of fabricated flags, banners and similar emblems by the nation's manufacturers, according to the latest economic census (1997) for which there is published data.
Coming to America
32.5 million
The number of foreign-born residents in the United States in 2002; they accounted for 11.5 percent of the nation's total population.
More than 1-in-3 foreign-born residents were naturalized U.S. citizens. Six states had estimated foreign-born populations of 1 million or more: California (8.8 million), New York (3.6 million), Florida (2.8 million), Texas (2.4 million), New Jersey (1.2 million) and Illinois (1.2 million).
Among the foreign-born population, 52 percent were born in Latin America, 26 percent in Asia, 14 percent in Europe and the remaining 8 percent in other regions of the world, such as Africa and Oceania.
State Park Lakes & Beaches
66 million Number of visits in a recent year to our national parks — a particularly scenic locale for a July 4
th picnic. There were 766
million visits in a recent year to another popular picnic venue — state parks or recreation areas. Those in California (80 million), Ohio (59 million), New York (56 million), Washington (48 million) and Illinois (44 million) recorded the highest number of visits. You may or may not be able to picnic there, but a visit to a national historical site is a particularly fitting way to celebrate our nation's heritage. In a recent year, about 72 million people flocked to national historical sites and 24 million to national monuments. Source: U.S. Census Bureau

Hurricane’s strike where they want and when they’re ready. You
can’t control them, but you can be ready so they don’t control you!
According to hurricane prediction guru Dr. William Gray, 17 named
storms, 9 hurricanes and 5 major hurricanes will form in the Atlantic
Ocean this year. Comparing this year’s predictions to average
expectations, this hurricane season could be a busy one!
While there is nothing funny about hurricanes, I do find it comical that
Dr. Gray and his team of world renowned hurricane experts do their
research and modeling at Colorado State University. Perhaps the
University of Florida should develop models to establish itself as the
world’s preeminent predictor of avalanche activity in Colorado? And
we wonder why the predictions seldom match reality…
Anywho…on to the subject at hand.
More important to you and me than hurricane predictions, is
hurricane preparedness. I’m a fan of controlling the controllable as
well as doing so in the simplest, most practical and affordable way.
So here’s my personal, practical preparation for hurricane season.
In its simplest sense, a hurricane is just a bunch of water delivered
fast and furious by high winds. The challenge is to keep the wind
from driving the water into our homes. If we succeed with that, all is
well.
The three most common places for the wind to drive the water into
our homes are by way of the roof, the windows, and via the ground.
The best protection against wind-driven rain coming in by way of your
roof is to perform a proper roof inspection. The wind and water will
always find their way first into the most vulnerable part of your roof.
Missing shingles must be replaced, exposed nails must be covered,
flashings must be sealed tight, and all debris must be removed from
your roof.
What is important is that your roof properly shed the large volume of
water that falls onto it. Any weakness in the shingle surface is where
water will first enter, and wind will work to pull the roof apart. Trust
me on this, your roofer can inspect and repair your roof much
cheaper to prevent damage before a storm, than repair the additional
damage after the storm!
It would be great if we all installed storm resistant windows or had
storm coverings over our windows. But the simple truth is we don’t,
so the challenge is to protect our windows. It is most often not the
wind that breaks our windows, but rather the junk around our homes
that the wind blows into the window. All that flying debris is what
really breaks all our glass.
The simple solution is to trim the shrubs and limbs back from the
windows so that as they blow in the wind, they cannot strike the win-
dows. The trimming of the limbs will also help to protect the roof.
And while you’re looking at limbs, be sure to look for things lying
around the outside of your home that you could throw through your
window. That’s what the wind will do!
When the big waters start to fall, the water is really just trying to find
its way to the river or ocean. The challenge is to be sure that the flow
of water is diverted away from our homes! Walk the perimeter of your
home while visualizing where water would be rolling in from, and how
you could cause it to flow away from your home. It doesn’t matter
how much water falls, as long as it falls away from your home.
Clean gutters can be a big help in getting water away from your home.
The massive amount of water that falls on your roof can easily flood into
your home if it is not diverted at least 10 feet away from the foundation.
No sense collecting the water on the roof with gutters, just to discharge it
at the base of your slab for easy entry into your home.
Lastly, a reminder about flood insurance. Call to get it today! If your
thought is you ―don’t live in a flood zone‖, know that you are wrong. EVE-
RYONE in Florida lives in a flood zone, the only question is which flood
zone do you live in? The various flood zones are used only to determine
your flood insurance rate and whether you are required to carry flood in-
surance, not to mean that you don’t have to worry about flooding.
If you are in a flood zone that does not require mandatory flood insurance,
that’s good, it means the flood insurance is real cheap! Remember this,
according to FEMA over 25% of all flood claims are paid to people who do
not live in a mandatory flood insurance zone. Also, according to FEMA, the
chances of your home being damaged by flood are greater than the
changes of it being destroyed by fire.
Please call today to secure your flood insurance, because as soon as you
get it, there is also a 30-day wait period for the policy to take effect. It
WILL NOT take effect the day you purchase it! If there’s named storm
brewing in the Atlantic during that 30 day waiting period, you will not be
covered for that storm. So you see why the cost of waiting is just too great
– call your insurance agent today!
