florida: Foreclosures Harder to Find on the Treasure Coast of Florida - 03/01/12 07:20 AM
Foreclosures Harder to Find on the Treasure Coast of Florida
 
Below is an article from today’s Headlines – One that actually depicts REALITY!  (It will certainly be in the Window Front Today)
 
 
Short Sales on the other hand are increasing…. As judges in the Tri-County area slow down foreclosures, Banks are turning to Short Sales as a means of disposing “foreclosing” inventory. Quite Frankly with Bank of America (being my favorite… haha/right) a short sale is most likely easier to purchase than a Bank of America REO – This WILL BE another Blog to look for, you … (2 comments)

Social Media Dashboards - Time Management
With today’s Hustles and Bustles running around.. time management for Social Networking is a must. Wouldn’t it be great to.. at click… manage all your social sites?

florida: Christmas Poem for us Realtors...from Port St Lucie Fl - 12/06/11 03:29 PM
Last night as I lay sleeping; I died or so it seemed, Then I went to Heaven; But only in my dream, Up there St Peter met me; Standing at the Pearly Gates, He said, "I must check your record; please stand here and wait." He turned and said "Your record; Is covered with terrible flaws, On Earth I see you rallied; for every losing cause, I see that you drank alcohol; And smoked and used drugs too, Fact is, you've done everything; A good person should never do, We can't have people like you up here; Your life was full … (1 comments)

florida: Port St Lucie, FL November Sales Year to Year Comparison - 11/30/11 07:11 PM
 
Port St Lucie FL November Sales Year To Year Comparison

Sales from 2010 to 2010 decreased 16% while the Avg price decreased 14%. Perhaps the lower prices can account for the lower Days on Market. On the low end it is interesting to see how the List to Sales price (and keep in mind these are the true handyman specials) remained around the 50% mark. This must mean the banks are still trying to value the homes higher or are not paying attention to property condition. With more foreclosures to come into the Port St Lucie Real Estate Market … (1 comments)

florida: That is all the Service I am going to provide.... take it or leave it and pay me! - 11/05/11 05:05 PM
WHAT HAPPENED TO SERVICE WITH A SMILE?
 
I was just thinking today that some parts of this business have become so un-personable and sloppy it is a true shame. I had a closing yesterday that did not go well due to the unprofessionalism of the title company, no one present from the lender or selling side and a Notary conducting the closing despite it being AT the Title Company’s Office!
Now I have been to this Title Company’s office before. Yes- they have a gorgeous conference room with the Cherry table and tall Leather Chairs. The pen holders on the … (3 comments)

florida: Market Report Port St Lucie Florida Real Estate. Prices up from 2010 - 11/02/11 03:42 PM
Market report for Homes Sold in Port St Lucie the week of 10.24.11 to 10.31.11. These are homes that have closed/settled – not merely under contract.  
 

There is quite a swing from high to low. For kicks I went back and took out the highest sold to see how that would change the avg/median stats which was quite interesting. It only lowered the Median by 1400. and the avg by 9700.

Not a huge swing at all when you consider the amount of properties sold. The Avg. sold based on these numbers does seem high compared to … (1 comments)

florida: Why Get Pre-Qualified? Buying Real Estate in Port St Lucie FL - 11/02/11 10:11 AM
Why should I get pre-qualified?
 
When you submit an offer to buy, banks and private sellers alike want to see if you are qualified to buy the home. A “pre-qualified” letter if often requested to be submitted with the offer to purchase. Getting pre-qualified for a loan will also determine the amount of loan an applicant is qualified for considering the debt to income ratio and purchase ability of the applicant. It is best to know how much home you can afford before shopping for the home.
 
What is the difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved?
Pre-qualification is normally … (2 comments)

Listen or Lose the Sale
 
 I had a homebuyer call me today frustrated with "her realtor". Why.... She would not listen.
Caller.... "she is just wasting everyone’s time... she is showing us junk...she is NOT LISTENING!"
WOW... Long story short, she signed a short sale offer the other day for a house she does not want to wait for. She no longer wants to move forward with the short sale having later been educated by someone else about the short sale process. She also feels her realtor is trying to force her to stay with this offer … (10 comments)

florida: "Billboard Ads" are appropriate for our "Information Super Highway" and Selling Port St Lucie Real Estate - 09/23/11 06:27 PM

One Blog addreses the consistency of advertisements. Consistency in anything marketing you do pays dividends. It really adds the Branding touch. When you see a polarbear wearing red you think of Coca Cola. When I get weekly newsletters in my email, the ones I read are the ones I know and I know them because with in seconds I recognize them.
We call the internet our "Information Super Highway" but many don't write "Billboard" ads. As quickly as we physically drive our cars, we drive our fingers. I am not sure of that stats I bet on average the human … (18 comments)
