new construction: Buying new construction vs Bank Owned Foreclosure Property - 04/15/11 05:36 PM
There's been some debate lately as to whether you should buy New construction property versus a Bank owned foreclosure home in Orlando. I say either can be a great deal just depends what you are looking for and current housing needs. Here are my top reasons you should purchase a New Construction Home in Central Florida: It's brand new - never lived in, most the time you get to pick the fixtures and have outstanding warranties from 1-2 year interior to 10 year structural If the community is new there are no bad loans in the community meaning no

new construction: First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Recipients around Orlando - 01/22/10 04:13 PM
In a previous blog First Time Home Buyers are running out of time to collect the tax credit I talked about how there are now less then 100 days left in this program. What most people dont realize is that for many first time home buyers that make $50,000 or less a year receiving a free $8000 cold hard cash from Uncle Sam is like receiving a 15% increase in pay. I wanted to show you some of the First Time Home Buyers like yourself in the Orlando area that have recently closed on homes and received $8000 from the government

new construction: Orlando's Real Estate Market Is Fierce - Properly Pricing your home to sell is more then a market analysis - 12/06/09 08:37 PM
When you plan on selling your home you have a series of thoughts. How is the market doing? How fast can we sell our home, how much can we make and how should we price it? If you are considering using a Real Estate agent then that is a whole other list of questions. But all I want to talk about today is proper pricing.

Miles of endless sidewalk and trails blend seemlessly with the surrounding lakes and

Remember that feeling of scoring the winning goal, or Acing that mid-term. Today I had that feeling when I triumphed over the builder in negotiations for my buyers today. My buyers were out this weekend viewing townhomes in Sanford and Lake Mary and told me which development was their favorite and which unit they wanted. They spoke the builders rep and received information on pricing and units available. The builder tried to tell them they would receive a better deal not using their Realtor (me), but they didnt listen. They contacted me and told me what it would take to make

I know most first time home buyers have heard the rumors about tightening of the lending guidelines that no money down is gone, that if you go FHA you must have 3-5% down payment in addition to your closing costs.
