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.
