I will be heading to Lakeland today to meet with local Realtors and attend the Realtors after hours being held at Millers Ale House this evening. Lakeland will always be special to me because that is where I started my Real Estate career in 2001, as well and raised my family there.  I had moved to Lakeland from Findlay Ohio. My oldest daughter had enrolled in Florida State University and my wife's parents lived in Naples. To be honest it was more of my wife's idea not mine to move to Florida.
