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)

treasure coast: Christmas Poem for us Realtors...from Port St Lucie Fl
- 12/06/11 07:29 AM
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)

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)
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)

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)
When you submit an offer to buy, banks and private sellers alike want to see if you are qualified to buy the home.

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)
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)

Here in Port St Lucie Florida assessed values have once again decreased. As assessed value is used to determine the amount of taxes you will pay every year, the lower the assessed value the better. Our Millage Rate here in the City of Port St Lucie is right about 25.338. For a 100,000 assessed value taxes would run $2,533.80 without homesteaded rights. With our NEW FL homestead additional exemption of 25,000 for a total homestead exemption of 50,000 taxes would be about $1266.90. (school millage … (0 comments)
