orlando realtor: ipad, sign and send and Orlando Real Estate - 11/14/10 04:40 PM
What do ipads, sign and send and Orlando Real Estate have in common? Nothing until yesterday. 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 … (25 comments)

REO or Bank Owned Properties as they are better known are very popular right now with investors and first time home buyers. However this market is a very specialized niche.

orlando realtor: It's Hammer Time - 07/17/09 09:52 AM
Don't go and break out your parachute pants just yet and start doing the hammer shuffle. No it's Hammer Time because Im in the building. At the beginning of the year I was speaking with a lender that I work with on many deals and adore. She is a hard working no holds bar type of lender and if she says it gets done it will get done. If I know a deal is with her my job is 10x times easier because of her. But that's for another blog. In our discussions she told me how much other Realtors she … (0 comments)

orlando realtor: Did you hear banks are giving homes away - 01/06/09 08:14 AM
You have heard it on the media, Home prices slashed! Purchase a $500,000 for $250,000. It's all over the media, spinning this hype that banks are just letting these homes go for pennies. The media is doing their job well, to spin hype and create commotion however their job is not selling real estate. I am out there on the streets with clients viewing these homes and making offers, talking with other agents, banks and listing short sales myself. People listen to the Real Estate Professionals when they tell you asking the bank to take $30,000 of a price plus asking … (12 comments)

A Realtor brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business of buying a home. In fact, a licensed real estate professional provides much more than the service of helping you find the home of your dreams. Realtors are not just sales agents. They are expert negotiators, seasoned financial advisors, and superb navigators around the local neighborhood. They are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and must abide by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice enforced by the NAR.

orlando realtor: First Time Home Buyers Housing Slow down is your signal to BUY - 05/27/08 06:57 PM
I recently read and article in the Orlando Slantinel. Oh I am sorry I mean sentinel. But most of it made sense and I think will help many first time home buyers in the Orlando area.
First-time homebuyers squeezed out of the market by the 2004-06 housing-price surge may want to consider taking the plunge now. Prices are down and still falling, interest rates are low and stable, and a huge inventory of houses and condominiums is for sale -- a mix that should spark more sales by year's end, Realtors say. But some buyers are still reluctant. Stunned by the … (1 comments)

orlando realtor: Why Choosing an agent with short sale experience is important... Client Feed Back - 05/17/08 10:17 PM
I feel when selecting any professional whether it's a doctor, lawyer or even hair stylist personal referrals and testimonials are worth their weight in gold.
