30 Year Old Real Estate Developer Releases New Website on his 280th Project, a Fractional Private Residence Club

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Panama City Beach, FL - Nathan Glick, a premier Ohio Real Estate Developer announced today, that they have launched a new website, www.infinityblu.com for his 280th project, a 23 story Private Residence Club on Florida’s forgotten Emerald Coast. The perfect timing of this website coupled with an unprecedented one of a kind opportunity in the number one market in the country makes for record sales in this area of the country.

“There’s never been anything like this,” stated Glick. “It’s a first. It’s innovation with the right product offering, in the right market along with the right kind of marketing.” The right product offering is Infinity Blu’s 5 star Private Residence Club which is outselling other fractional projects, with the lowest prices the industry has seen, starting at 30K with double the amenities of most fractional developments. The right market is Florida’s forgotten Emerald Coast, where a new International Airport is scheduled for construction, the first of its kind, since Denver, which was built over 16 years ago.

“Do you know what that airport is going to do this area?” announced Glick. In an article by CNN, www.infinitybluu.com, Dr. Steven Cochrane predicts that property prices will rise by 72% over the next 5 years. The right kind of marketing involves thinking outside the box. “We contracted with two real estate marketing consultants before we finally found an outside the box, third consulting firm www.cansagroup.com, whose focus was on leverage. Through collaboration we developed a website that leverages our project and an affiliate program that leverages our relationship with realtors/brokers globally,” said Glick. The affiliate program is to be officially unveiled shortly.

Content, an important part of the website along with technology, gives Infinity Blu an opportunity to play with the medium of the Internet. For example, the availability tab shows “real time” availability through the combination of 3D renderings and flash technology. You can actually scroll over the face of the development and view data on each particular unit and even take a virtual tour of that unit.

“We want to take www.infinityblu.com and the rest of our www.byglick.comdevelopments right into any room of your house, see our movies, take our various virtual tours, see our television commercials, hear our voices, interact with us,” remarked Glick. Additionally, “I believe our next generation of real estate marketing, especially in regards to fractions, will be multi-lingual sites, incorporating eco-friendly features and continuing to take our sites and forge relationships in various countries and cultures as we expand globally.”

At last somebody has come up with a way to make vacation home ownership affordable for everyone. And they did it without sacrificing location, luxurious decor, or amenities. Infinity Blu markets irresistible, white shimmering sands and pristine beaches, unparalleled views of blue azure water that opens a window to the soul, magnificent sunsets, and the ultimate vacation home with exquisite amenities all showcased through a cutting edge website … making it a marriage of dreams come true for everyone.

Infinityblu.com markets a variety of whole or fractional units including 1/12 (4weeks), 1/6th (6 months), and 1/7th (7 weeks) starting from 30K. Call 1-888-788-5860 or visit infinityblu.com for details.

Million Dollar Lawsuit Filed by Florida Real Estate Development Group

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Destin, FL — Fat Cat Real Estate has been hammered, and as real estate developers and owners, Maria Gudelis and Rudy Straat are fighting mad. They just aren’t going to take it anymore.

They have filed a $1 million-plus lawsuit in Walton County Florida Court, Case Number 07000638CA, claiming — among other items — Fraudulent Inducement, Professional Negligence, Negligent Misrepresentation and Conspiracy to Induce against several individuals involved in the Southaven Town Home Development project.

“Aside from being libeled on a daily basis — aside from former friends taking letters we write and rearranging words — creating entirely new sets of problems for us; as well as having people think we have received monies owed — when we haven’t — we’re going to go about solving this quite simply,” says Maria Gudelis, CEO of Fat Cat Real Estate. “We’re going to file suit against them. We’re going to take them to court and let the courts order them to pay us what they legally agreed to pay us. I don’t mean to sound petty, but business is business. We’re tired of this, and we’re just not going to take it anymore.”

Rudy Straat, the other half of Fat Cat, says, “People seem to think that they can say anything they want about us. We’ve decided to see if our courts will allow that to occur without punishment. We don’t think they will. Moreover, we’re no longer going to let people call us, abuse us, and threaten us. It’s time to fish. The big fish are feeding, and the frenzy is on.”

Far from being ready to declare bankruptcy and succumb to lawsuits from bankrupted lenders, Rudy Straat and Maria Gudelis of Panther Investments (Fat Cat Real Estate), in NW Florida, have filed a $1 million lawsuit in Walton County, Florida. Each week for the next six weeks, Fat Cat Real Estate will show official documents, filings and government paperwork online — demonstrating monies owed to Fat Cat by the parties who owe the funds. Deadbeats of the NW Florida Real Estate Market.

Gudelis and Straat, once award-winning “darlings” of the real estate industry were courted by the largest real estate developers and eagerly sought after for their expertise in developing real estate opportunities. Gudelis was actually referred to as “The Real Estate Diva” by many in the industry, and the two had significant financial ties to several real estate developers.

Many of these relationships quickly turned into “bad receivables” on the Fat Cat/Panther Investments books. Some of these can be viewed at the www.talkingpanther.com website. Now, Gudelis and Straat are taking aim at what they believe to be the “Deadbeats of the NW Florida Real Estate Market.”

Says Gudelis, “If they can pay us money, we’ll take money. Cash is king. If they can’t pay us cash, we’ll take land, cars, airplanes, assignable leases and percentages of development deals, future income streams — whatever assets are assignable and can be seized by the courts.”
