port st lucie: Listening to Win a Client and Close a Transaction - 11/12/11 07:23 AM
 
The Rewards of Selling Real Estate- Positive Reinforcement

 Not long ago I wrote a Blog about Listen or Lose the Sale – Well someone did not and did which brought me a Great Success Story. Again a client was referred to me from a trusted lender who was frustrated with her current realtor (turns out realtors). One realtor was only showing her “junk” and was not listening to what she wanted to really see. Now this client was not a fan of house hunting to begin with so needless looking only added to her frustration. Another realtor bound her … (3 comments)

port st lucie: Castle or Cave - Shrine or Shack - Depends - Buyer or Seller!! - 11/08/11 10:24 AM
It is a Castle or a Cave - A Shrine or Shack? This depends… It is the Seller or the Buyer?

Always interesting but seldom comical really. I am working with a buyer who is also a seller. Now selling a home he bought from me (with another one he owned listed with me) but now selling through another brokerage. He is also back with me to buy again. That in itself is another story.  But this story fits many of our buyer/seller clients.
The Answer is:   Seller = Shrine // Buyer = Shack (of course)
Everyone wants … (1 comments)

Goodbye Andy Rooney. You will be missed!
My husband is not an Andy Rooney fan; he says at the he was too grouchy!
I think at the age of 92 you have earned the right to say what is on your mind. He never forced anyone to listen nor was he asking anyone for anything. If you felt insulted by his comments, at least he said them in the open and not behind your back.
Maybe we need other out there to tell us like it is (in their opinion) rather than treating everyone and everything with “kid gloves”. … (2 comments)

port st lucie: That is all the Service I am going to provide.... take it or leave it and pay me! - 11/05/11 10:05 AM
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)

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)

port st lucie: Buying a HUD Owned Home. Benefits and the Process. - 11/01/11 11:22 AM


Buying a HUD Home. The Benefits and the Process.
First of all let’s un-myth the myth about a HUD home. Buying a HUD home does not mean you are poor or the home is in poor condition. It means you are buying a home owned by HUD. HUD owned homes are most often the result of an FHA Insured loan being foreclosed relinquishing the home to HUD.

One of the benefits of buying a HUD home is the Florida Incentive of a special FHA Financed loan program of only $100.00 down payment. Remember, this is an FHA program … (0 comments)
