boca raton fl: Caring for a Senior Pet - 03/02/22 03:14 PM
Caring for a senior pet is a lot of work, but it's also a gift.  Some might not agree, but we owe it to them for all the love and companionship they've given us throughout the years. 
Corrie came to us 5 years ago after Buttons passed.  A beautiful retired show girl, she was 8.5 years old.  We thought it would be good for Gracie, who was 11 at the time. 
Everyone was depressed.  Corrie saved us.  She really did.  And now it's our time to give back for as long as it lasts.
Corrie and Gracie bonded, but not like they had been … (7 comments)

Pet Restrictions in Condos
If you have pets and are plannning to buy a condo, you must read the pet restrictioins carefully.  Not what the listing says.  Not what the agent says they are. Request and read the actual condo documents as they relate to pets.   Please.  You may just be surprised.
 
In looking for a pet-friendly condo in Boca Raton last week, we found a condo will accept one pet up to 20 lbs.  Sounds good if you have a small dog right?  Not so fast.  Additionally, the buyer must put up a $ 5000 bond and carry the dog out through … (7 comments)

boca raton fl: He sold homes he did not even own - why you need a buyers agent? - 04/13/18 06:19 PM
Please take a moment to read this outstanding post by Nick & Trudy Vandekar, 610-203-4543  about why you need to hire a buyer's agent for a real estate transaction.  It is vitally important!  They tell an unbelievable story of what happened where they live in Pennsylvania.
 
Although we are in south Florida, it makes no difference.  It costs a buyer nothing to hire a buyer's agent - it's FREE.  What have you got to lose?  The listing agent works for the seller.  The name on the sign works for the seller.  The builder's salespeople work for the seller.  They are nice, but they … (5 comments)

boca raton fl: Soooo....You Want to Downsize to a Condo.... - 04/06/18 02:52 AM
Are you thinking of downsizing to a condo or just buying a condo in general?  There are things you must be aware of before you purchase a condo. 
 Sally K. & David L. Hanson, while not in Florida, did an outstanding job of explaing this.  In addition,  in Florida, buyers have a 3 day right of recission on resales once the condo docs, by laws and all financials, etc have been provided.  On new construction, it is 15 days. 
Condo living can be great, but buyers need to understand what is involved.  If you have a question, ask!
  For some people, Spring brings … (3 comments)
