boca raton homes: Is There A Real Estate Tech Advantage For The Younger Generation? - 09/16/11 08:56 AM
 
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently released some interesting figures.  The average age of today’s first time homebuyer is 30, whereas the average age of real estate agents is 56.  This is a huge gap between the MTV Generation and baby-boomers.  The younger generation grew up with home computers, video games and cell phones; its’ no wonder that they were quick to embrace new media sites such as GooglePlus, Twitter, FaceBook, digital tablets and smart phones. However it seems the older generation of realtors have been reluctant to take advantage of the new media –and this a disadvantage to … (1 comments)

boca raton homes: And We Wonder Why we Think All Buyers are Liars? - 12/03/09 07:47 AM

I was going around as I normally do talking to the agents in the office seeing how their business is going, and what is working and what is not.  I come across one of my agents, and she says I have to tell you this funny story.  You will not believe this story.
"I received a referral from another agent.  So I spoke to them several times, and they were looking in and around the $600,000 range.  They preferred something on the water.  They were a young couple and were dating for about 6 months, and also were recently engaged.  … (4 comments)

boca raton homes: Obama wants to have homeowners rent back their foreclosed homes. What are your thoughts? - 07/22/09 08:20 AM
I just came across this from www.FloridaRealtors.org
I think this would be horrible.  The problem with foreclosures is not that the lenders are forcing people out of their homes and into the street.  The problem with foreclosures is that there are a lot of them, and they are flooding the market.  They also are bringing the value of the neighborhoods way down because lenders just want them off their books. 
This program still will allow the lenders to keep the homes on the market which they will, but the homeowner will get to stay until the lease is over.  Interesting article.

boca raton homes: Why does Obama not think about the Consequences before enforcing a plan of action? - 07/21/09 04:07 AM

 
Although I did not vote for Obama, I still believed he was the better choice.  He was what our country needed as many of us needed hope.  However, he is really doing some things that just do not make a whole lot of sense.
I recently read about Obama's helath care reform.  He wants to subsidize the plan by taxing people making over $280,000. 
Lets just distribute the wealth.  We can be a socialized society.  How many socialized societies work?  The people that make over $280,000 are those who employ many of the average workers making $30,000-$50,000.  What do you think … (50 comments)

boca raton homes: Boca Raton, Florida Real Estate is on the rise! - 06/15/09 01:32 AM

 
We can call this a blip or a little upswing, but make no mostake about it the Boca Raton Real Estate market has picked up.  There are a number of factors that have contributed to this. 
One is the pent up demand.  Buyers have been on the fences, and with the low interest rates it pushed them off the fence. The second is the affordability of a home in Boca Raton has increased.  Now more than ever is a great time to buy a home as we have not seen these values since 2000. The third is an interesting … (6 comments)

boca raton homes: Realtors on Steroids! - 05/13/09 04:11 AM
 
 
With many of the realtors having problems staying in their career they love, maybe realtors should turn to taking steroids. It worked for Mark Mcgwire who all of a sudden starting hitting 70 home runs.  It worked for Barry Bonds who broke the home run record.  Maybe it will work for you too.  Maybe we can partner with a lab.  Possibly Balco as they are looking for some more clients. 
We have to make sure that the steroids make us stronger so we can keep the buyers in our car until they write the check. We have to make sure that the steroids make us faster … (5 comments)

**It is All About the Consumer, New Website Brings Technology and Information to the forefront of South Florida Real Estate.**
With all these major real estate websites like Zillow.com, Realtor.com, and MSN Real Estate  we may be missing the point of what the consumer really wants.  How can you justify what you do for a consumer when you tell the consumer that the way I value your home and the price I give you may be as much as 10%-30% off one way or the other.  Instead of trying to give the consumer a number why don't we try and … (2 comments)

So I have met Rob Gordon a couple of times.  He is a great developer that seemed to get way over our head like many of us.  Well he started this project called Azura located in Boca Raton, and now his phone numbers are disconnected, and I have a buyer who even though only a couple people. live there they want to purchase there.  I can't get  ahold of anyone to tell me how I can show the homes as the only one who has homes listed is you guessed it Rob Gordon.  Anyone have any suggestions.

boca raton homes: It is time to turn it on. Season is upon us!! - 03/27/09 06:31 AM

 
In my local real estate market in Boca Raton, and Highland Beach FL it is very seasonal.  Many of the Highland Beach condos or Boca Raton Country Club Homes sell from December till April, and single family homes in Boca Raton sell in April through August.  . We are definitely gearing up for a great season.  While the rest of the country went through a horrible and cold winter it was a very pleasant one in South Florida.  I look at the pending sales and they have increased over the last couple months, and I am noticing a sort of new found … (2 comments)
