Eager Ex-Guide Now In Florida Real Estate By JACK V. FOX United Press Inierssiional Miami (ITI Thomas Per ine is an engaging young man of 32 who, in what he calls his "youth," once got a job as an experienced European guide for tourists on the grand tour. The only hitch was that Penne had never seen Europe. But off he went and picked up a party of several dozen Americans, several of whom HAD seen Europe before, for a swing through England, Trance, the Rhineland and other points European. Perine bought a set of Baedeker's - sort of tourist Bible. Every night, he would scrutinize an appropriate sec tion, for example, Stratford- on-Avon. At dawn, he would set out and inspect Ann Hathaway's cottage and other Shakespearian sites. Then he would appear at breakfast with his group and confidently lead them through the village, spouting Baedek er and praying all would go well. PerinVs Personality It did. Such is Perine's per sonality that those who might have suspected the fuzzy- cheeked guide of being some thing less than an old expa triate forgave him. Perine now has turned the ingenuity and drive that marked his European debut into a lively program to get people to buy lots and homes in Florida, either for immedi ate occupancy or as an invest ment in the future. One is a home trade in plan. Perine is an executive sales consultant to General Development Corp., the na tion's biggest home develop ment firm, with branch of fices across the country. The plan permits a home buyer in Boston or Dayton, for example, to trade in his home for one in Florida or, if its value is sufficient, to make a swap. He is thereby relieved of the chore of sell ing and also overcomes the obstacle of not having suffi cient cash for a down payment. Another project is "insured real estate." Under this pro gram, the purchaser may in sure his life for the outstand ing balance due on the pur chase of land in Florida, thus protecting his investment and insuring his family a valuable piece of real estate. Also in the works is a pro gram to bring models of Florida homes to northern cities for inspection. This month General Development also is flying military and U.S. civil service personnel from Europe to Florida to in spect homes at the golf-resort Port St. Lucie development. . Round-trip costs $100. In Florida itself, Perine has helicopters flying over land tracts at Port Charlotte. The west coast community, with 10,000 families, already is the biggest "new city in the na tion but it has area sufficient for a Cleveland. Prospective lot buyers can get from the air a better idea of how close they are to the water, to high ways, etc. Perine also has originated a boat trip from Miami up to Port St. Lucie, about 100 miles to the north, with stops at Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. Perine sees all this as sim ple, enthusiastic sales think ing. He is not one to be set in a mold. , His most recent undertaking was opening and operating the Playboy Club in Miami. nt.wunu MAu, InlDuaL, MtucvttU, UMC.UU '5 and 10' Meal Is Most Popular Lunch New York - IUPI) - Where do at least a million people eat each day?
