Laureate Park has some pretty exciting and innovative features to be found in their community and homes unlike anything you will find.</p> <p> </p> <p>The new construction builders in Laureate Park are, David Weekley, Ashton Woods and K. Hov (K.Hovnanian) are partnered with GE to make this <em>community ecofriendly and efficient</em> - Talk about being Green on steriods. Some of the features are plugs in the garage and community for your electric cars, high tech GE nucleauses for your home to make not only your water heaters but your entire family energy efficient, plus floor plans that give you tons of space but dont leave a large foot print.</p> <p> </p> <p>My favorite builder of the night that I saw was <em><strong>Ashton Woods</strong></em>. I loved their innovative designs with timeless functionality. Homes in Laureate Park start in the low $200,000s and did I mention Publix will be opening there in 2012! If you want to be one of the trailblazers and own a home in Laureate Park walking distance to schools, shops and most importantly Lake Nona Medical City which ecompasses the VA clinic and Nemours Children's Hosptial then contact me today - 407-810-6304 - <a href="mailto:Heather@heathertherealtor.com">heather@heathertherealtor.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Below are some of the eco friendly features going into the homes in Laurete Park in Lake Nona</p> <p><img title="LAureate Park energy efficient homes" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/4/8/4/8/ar132014684584842.jpg" height="200" alt="LAureate Park energy efficient homes" width="300"><img title="Ecofriendly Homes" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/5/4/9/6/ar132026267869457.jpg" height="200" alt="Laureate PArk Ashton Woods" width="300"></p> <p> </p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style=""><a href="http://twitter.com/lakemaryRealtor" title="Follow me on Twitter" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Follow me on Twitter" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/4/0/5/1/ar125363976615047.png" height="48" alt="Follow me on Twitter" style="" width="48"></a>  <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/heathertherealtor" title="Link up on LinkedIn" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Connect with me on LinkedIn" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/2/7/9/1/ar125364106419728.png" height="48" alt="Connect with me on LinkedIn" style="" width="48"></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/HeatherTheRealtor" title="Orlando Real Estate on You Tube" target="_blank"><img title="You Tube" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/9/8/0/7/ar12536401670891.png" height="49" alt="You Tube" style="" width="61"></a><a href="feed://activerain.com/blogs/hjoubran/rss" title="Subscribe to our RSS Feed" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Subscribe to my RSS feed" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/1/8/2/2/ar125364118722812.png" height="48" alt="Subscribe to my RSS feed" style="" width="48"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heather-The-Realtor/63240981339" title="Heather The Realtor Business Page - Make sure to click Like" target="_blank"><img title="Connect to me on Facebook" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/9/3/0/3/ar125363972030398.png" height="48" alt="Facebook" style="" width="48"></a><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=Heather+Joubran+&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=g1&amp;oq=" title="Google Me!" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Google Me!" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/4/5/8/5/ar125364102158543.png" height="50" alt="Google me!" style="" width="50"></a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Heather Unger, GRI, NRBA, CLHMS, CDPE, WinDs</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">RE/MAX Central Realty</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.HeatherTheRealtor.com" title="Orlando Real Estate" target="_blank">www.HeatherTheRealtor.com</a>     (407) 810-6304</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our Team Specializes in Luxury Real Estate, First Time Home Buyers, Short Sales, Bank Owned Real Estate, REO &amp; Foreclosure Properties</span></span></p> <p>Servicing Real Estate Needs in: Lake Mary, Longwood, Winter Springs, Sanford, Altamonte Springs, Oviedo, Orlando, Downtown Orlando, Thornton Park, College Park, Winter Park, Maitland, Windermere, UCF, Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, Apopka, Ocoee &amp; Winter Garden</p> <p><span style=""> </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/debeincharlotte" title="Link up on LinkedIn" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"></a></p> <p> </p> </div> Heather the Realtor - Orlando, Lake Mary First Time Home Buyers, Bank Owned Homes (RE/MAX Central Realty) Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:49:23 -0400 http://activerain.com/blogsview/2584795/lake-nona-s-newest-and-grandest-community-laureate-park http://activerain.com/blogsview/2582241/does-bank-of-america-hold-your-mortgage-then-this-is-a-must-read <p><strong>Bank of America is trying to be as proactive as possible</strong> in this economy and understands the hardtimes that many Americans have fallen on and even still there are many that just need to sell their home but cant.

It's an unfortunate part of the market but many animals are left behind, sometimes trapped in these vacant homes.

In my never ending search to be on the cutting edge of Apple technology and keeping my buyers 1 step ahead I found a new product for my ipad. It's a pogo stick. Not the kind that you jump up and down with, the kind that allows you to write and sign contracts on your ipad and iphone. Couple that with a new software program that came out on Friday and you have a match made in heaven. I can say Im probably one of the very few if not the only Realtor in Orlando that can do this.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now, while Im out showing a property to my buyers if we decide it's a home worth putting an offer in on, I can easily pull up the contract on my ipad, input all the necessary text fields and then allow my customer to sign in blue or black ink the entire document, even initialing where need be, but wait it gets better.</p> <p> </p> <p>While we are standing there <strong><em>I can hit send and email everyone a copy</em></strong> including the other agent. Im so enthusiastic. The pen on it is amazing and the signature looks as good as it does on paper.</p> <p> </p> <p>But wait Im sure some of you are saying what about pulling comps? No problem, with the new app through our MLS Im able to pull all that information on my iphone in just a split second.</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dinosaur Realtor ways:</span> Seeing a property, then meeting at the office, printing out the paper work, signing it, scanning it to email or even worse yet putting it in the fax machine. </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Today's Technology Savvy Realtor:</span> See a home, while standing it in electronically sign all documents and hit send.

I used to be such a religious blogger. I would write at the very least 1 blog per week sometimes 7, depending on the market and my mood. The past few months have been crazy. I have continued to solicit business with new banks and asset management companies, slowly trying to build my team so neither our buyers or my REO customers receive anything less then 100% service. However in this growth one thing has suffered. My blogging and my passion for it. Thanks to Brad I am still able to keep my grandfathered status. Phew</p> <p> </p> <p>So today, I decided to set aside a few minutes and put my fingers and brain to work for some good ole fashion blogging and update my faithful followers and new comers to what has been going on around here with my team and I. (I suppose blogging isnt old fashion) </p> <p>_____________________________________________________________________________________________________</p> <p>We launched a new Facebook Business Page, Fan pages werent working too well. Here you can enjoy Real Estate related discussions, preview prelist REO properties before they hit the market and our favorite photo section, <em><strong>THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMM  </strong></em></p> <p> </p> <p>We are revamping our <a href="http://www.HeatherTheRealtor.com/" title="Orlando REal Estate" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;">Orlando Real Estate</a> website again.

We are one of the first people in the area to get this new free feed and cant wait until it's 100% functional. </p> <p> </p> <p>We are gearing up to start showing more videos of our properties, informational sessions and just things we see out and about in Central Florida we will post these videos to our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/heathertherealtor" title="Orlando Realtor" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;">You Tube Page - Heather The Realtor</a> heck check it out now and watch our HGTV episodes My House is Worth What? and House Hunters - Orlando</p> <p> </p> <p>There is so much more that has been going on the past few months but these are just some of the highlights.

With its pedestrian friendly wide sidewalks, homes are within easy walking distance of stores like Publix, offices and restaurants in the Village Center such as Subway, Five Guys, Seito Sushi, Lago. Parks, lakes, playgrounds and common areas are other places to meet and socialize, making Baldwin Park one of the friendliest communities in Orlando.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px; line-height: 16.0px; font: 12.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #020202;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px; line-height: 16.0px; font: 12.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #020202;">Available property types for sale within the <strong>Baldwin Park</strong> community include condos, town homes, and single family homes.

In fact, students can walk to the best public high schools, middle schools and elementary schools that Orlando and Winter Park have to offer. The Winter Park High School campus borders the neighborhood, and the Audubon Park Elementary School is now <strong>located within Baldwin Park</strong>. Glenridge Middle School borders Blue Jacket Park and is a short walk for many residents.</p> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px; line-height: 16.0px; font: 12.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #020202;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px; line-height: 16.0px; font: 12.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #020202;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px; line-height: 16.0px; font: 12.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #020202;"> </p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style=""><a href="http://twitter.com/lakemaryRealtor" title="Follow me on Twitter" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Follow me on Twitter" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/4/0/5/1/ar125363976615047.png" height="48" alt="Follow me on Twitter" style="" width="48"></a>  <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/heathertherealtor" title="Link up on LinkedIn" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Connect with me on LinkedIn" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/2/7/9/1/ar125364106419728.png" height="48" alt="Connect with me on LinkedIn" style="" width="48"></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/HeatherTheRealtor" title="Orlando Real Estate on You Tube" target="_blank"><img title="You Tube" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/9/8/0/7/ar12536401670891.png" height="49" alt="You Tube" style="" width="61"></a><a href="feed://activerain.com/blogs/hjoubran/rss" title="Subscribe to our RSS Feed" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Subscribe to my RSS feed" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/1/8/2/2/ar125364118722812.png" height="48" alt="Subscribe to my RSS feed" style="" width="48"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heather-The-Realtor/63240981339" title="Heather The Realtor Business Page - Make sure to click Like" target="_blank"><img title="Connect to me on Facebook" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/9/3/0/3/ar125363972030398.png" height="48" alt="Facebook" style="" width="48"></a><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=Heather+Joubran+&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=g1&amp;oq=" title="Google Me!" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"><img title="Google Me!" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/4/5/8/5/ar125364102158543.png" height="50" alt="Google me!" style="" width="50"></a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Heather Unger, GRI, NRBA, CLHMS, CDPE, WinDs</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">RE/MAX Central Realty</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.HeatherTheRealtor.com" title="Orlando Real Estate" target="_blank">www.HeatherTheRealtor.com</a>     (407) 810-6304</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our Team Specializes in Luxury Real Estate, First Time Home Buyers, Short Sales, Bank Owned Real Estate, REO &amp; Foreclosure Properties</span></span></p> <p>Servicing Real Estate Needs in: Lake Mary, Longwood, Winter Springs, Sanford, Altamonte Springs, Oviedo, Orlando, Downtown Orlando, Thornton Park, College Park, Winter Park, Maitland, Windermere, UCF, Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, Apopka, Ocoee &amp; Winter Garden</p> <p><span style=""> </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/debeincharlotte" title="Link up on LinkedIn" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9; text-decoration: underline;"></a></p> <p> </p> </div> Heather the Realtor - Orlando, Lake Mary First Time Home Buyers, Bank Owned Homes (RE/MAX Central Realty) Mon, 05 Apr 2010 19:05:52 -0400 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1584936/baldwin-park-a-traditional-planned-neighborhood-in-orlando-fl http://activerain.com/blogsview/1574831/charming-college-park-historic-bungalows-abound <p style=""> </p> <p style=""><img title="College Park Orlando FL" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/4/2/4/7/ar126999889874248.jpg" height="291" alt="College Park Orlando FL" width="425"></p> <p> </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;"><span style="font: 13.0px Helvetica;"><strong>College Park</strong> is on my top list of favorite neighborhoods in Orlando, FL.  </span>Just minutes from downtown Orlando, College Park truly offers a rare, authentic combination of quiet traditional small town living with a vibrant urban convenience. There are many styles of homes to choose from Florida Bungalows to Modern Estates.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;"><img title="College Park Bungalow" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/3/7/4/3/ar126999914534735.gif" height="300" alt="College Park Bungalow" width="365" style="float: left;"></span>Called <strong>College Park</strong> for its beautiful residential streets that are named after American Universities such as Princeton, Harvard and Yale, this tranquil neighborhood offers a quality of life unparalleled by other area communities. Its upscale blend of small town, inner city living has long been home to many of Orlando’s business and community leaders and young professionals. In fact, <strong>College Park</strong>’s charm is defined as much by the diverse mixture of residents as it is by its ancient oak trees, brick paved streets and historic older homes. Most of the bungalow homes were built in the early 1900’s. Investors as well as young professionals have renovated many of the older homes in College Park, turning this area into a trendy, popular place to call home.Unlike most Downtown Orlando lots here in College Park you can find lots ranging in size from .12 acre to .30 acres and if your lucky you can find a few larger lots yet. Or maybe even scope up the house next door to really expand your lot size. </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;">While in close proximity to Winter Park’s shopping district, <strong>College Park</strong> has a vibrant downtown area of its own along Edgewater Drive, where you will find shops, eateries, parks and businesses lining a delightful pedestrian oriented downtown area.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Trebuchet MS; color: #050505;">College Park is also home to the newly renovated and historic <strong><em>Dubsdred Golf Course</em></strong>.

One that has certifications, like a CDPE and proof of prior deals that have successfully closed. Here's why, this weekend I received a call from a clients uncle who is handling his mortgage. The nephew was referred to me at the end of the year by a prior client. After speaking with this young gentleman and helping him some he decided to buy a short sale that he saw driving around. Well this uncle has now called me back 3 months into this deal and no real movement, I told him if he wanted me to help his nephew I would.</p> <p>After speaking with the nephew today <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>I learned not only is he paying too much for this house the house he has been waiting over 3 months for wasnt a true short sale scenario.</em></span></p> <p> </p> <p>After digging around in public records I see the home owners have a mortgage of $147,000 the contract is for $165,000. They at some point and time took out a second mortgage. Now if the sellers had gone with an Agent that was experienced in short sales here in Orlando they would have had a much easier time closing on this property. <strong><em>The first mortgage is not being shorted</em></strong>, it's simply a regular sale with $18,000 left over. So the unskilled short sale agent decided that the first needed to go through the whole short sale process when it really didnt and wasted over 3 months.</p> <p> </p> <p>It could have been simple. Go to the 2nd lein holder tell them the first is not being shorted you will receive $18,000 more then you ever would if we dont sell this and the value continues to drop or it goes to foreclosure because the sellers arent paying and within 30 days it should have been an easy short sale process and also would not have negatively impacted the sellers credit the way it is now.</p> <p> </p> <p>When looking to sell your Orlando home as a short sale make sure to go with an experienced agent that is certified and has verifiable short sales under their belt. We recently had <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">an Indymac short sale approved in under 21 days</span></strong> and another Suntrust short sale package approved in just 59 days. Our team works hard to get your home under contract and more importantly see it through to closing! </p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style=""><a href="http://twitter.com/lakemaryRealtor" title="Follow me on Twitter" target="_blank" style="color: #1e77b9;
