Andrea Tlumacki was one of the people not afraid to take the plunge... and she has been rewarded for it! With the deadline of the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit approaching - it is urgent to develop a plan of execution. Most people are focused on the restriction of closing before the expiration of Nov. 30th. Fair enough... but many are not building a time line in order to establish milestones that one needs to meet if they desire to witness the delivery of an $8000 Treasury check. This is done by finding the advice of both a rock-solid Realtor and a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist.
Andrea Tlumacki did. Expert real estate advice - proved priceless. Not only was she able to nail down a low mortgage rate of 4.500%, but received unparalleled direction by utilizing "top-agent" experience to get a purchase price that would make an investor envious. In her interview with Andrea, Tracy Jacim states, "time is running out," and the time to delay is over. Many of us are familiar with Student Syndrome - but the need to:
...has a time line of about a week. Sure, things can be closed a somewhat faster in the proper circumstances, but as volume elevates in the weeks ahead for lenders, the length of time it takes to actually close will be increase. In other words... it is important to engage in the Orlando Real Estate process quickly if you hope to benefit from the First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit before it expires.

Selling your home in this market can be a challenge, but it is possible and can be profitable if you know The Secrets That Sell.
Capturing buyers interest is just one of the reasons that you should hire a REALTOR, they have the knowledge and experience to know what works and what doesn't.
Quality PHOTOGRAPHY is a vital component of selling your Lake Mary home, or any selling any home for that matter.
Did you know that over 85% of home buyers start their home search online? No longer are buyers driving around neighborhoods hunting for the elusive "For Sale" signs. They are on their computers, deciding what properties they want to see from the comfort of their own homes.
While sitting outside the condo in Boca Grande, FL over the Memorial Day weekend, I found the greatest shells and a sea urchin for my collection. This photo, now my desktop background, makes me relaxed and happy. It's sooooo hot out, I wish I was there now.
Lake Mary, FL was voted the #4 Place to Live in the U.S. by Money Magazine... Do you want to know what it's like living in the #1 Place in the South? Please email/text or call me...
I love Twitter... 140 Character Conversations- short, sweet and efficient. I found Phone Tag in a link that @EricaMueller shared one morning and have never looked back. Phone Tag is a service that transcribes your voice mail to a text message or email. I know, you want it... don't you.
I fell in love with Phone Tag when I realized that I could respond to callers via email or text even when I was with someone and I didn't want to place a call in front of them. Instant gratification and immediate appreciation for the caller when you acknowledge them. It's a Win - Win.
The Orlando Area is home to some of Golf's greatest players and courses, if you live here long enough you'll end up playing yourself, I did. I was introduced to the game by one of my favorite customers, Dean Stromwall. He was kind enough to spend some time with me on the range and I was hooked, and my drives were too.
The highlight of the Golf Season in Orlando has to be the Arnold Palmer Invitational held at Bayhill Club & Lodge. Last years Invitational had one of the most spectacular finishes in all of Golf, Tiger Woods sinking his final put for the win. I think that there were even a few non-Golfers out there that found this to be one of the most memorable moments in sports.
If you love Golf, you'll love it here. From the Public to Private Orlando Area Courses there is a home for every level of player.
If you are thinking about making the move to the Orlando Area and you Love Golf, please contact me by phone/text or email to discuss the right course for you.
Why do banks/lenders who have to grant third party approval in a short-sale transaction often reduce the broker's compensation to a rate that is less than what the seller agreed to in their contract with the listing broker?
Yet, when these banks/lenders take possesion of homes through the foreclosure process, at an expense that often exceeds $20,000 - $30,000, do they offer compensation in amounts that far exceed what they typically authorize in a short-sale?
hmmm...
It almost appears that they want to discourage the real estate industry from trying to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, doesn't it.
A short-sale is a time consuming endeavor for a REALTOR, often an exhausting waste of time. If these financial institutions truly wanted to help Americans avoid foreclosure wouldn't they take advantage of the "free labor force" of the the real estate industry that is trying to help them dispose of their non-performing assets prior to taking a much greater loss?
It's been very difficult to cut back - quietly not writing comments and posts, but I've been good girl and I am steadily increasing my time at the keyboard and so far, so good.
I really appreciate all the kind words of encouragement and emails from other Active Rain Members these past few weeks, it really has helped me get through my time on the sidelines.
I have a desk full of post-it-note ideas just waiting to be written. Please stop by again soon or subscribe in a reader to see what's been going on in my world.
Yes, you're right, Orlando is not on the coastline - I noticed. But, in less than an hour you can be on my favorite Florida beaches in your chair soaking up the sun and listening to the waves crashing on the shore. The best of both worlds, yes... you just might be onto something.
My Top Five Florida Beaches
New Smyrna Beach
Panama City Beach
St. Augustine Beach
Boca Grande/Sanibel Island
Islamorada/The Florida Keys
The sand and the surf are two of the reasons that I moved to Florida over 20 years ago.
