buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Better Buy. Divorce Would Cost More... - 08/19/10 03:43 AM
We were working with a buyer, who put a $470K offer on a Penthouse condo in Towers Grande in Daytona Beach Shores listed for $499K, which at one time (in 2006) was listed for $1,950,000. Very low offer, but the Buyer thinks that he can do whatever he wants, and everyone would agree. Well, if it does not work (pretty much expected), the buyer will learn to trust us more and will be more reasonable. When the initial contract expired, the Buyer did not extend the contract and left the area. That happens. The Seller decided to change the horses, and

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Buying A Condo-Hotel In Oceanside Inn in Daytona Beach Shores - 03/29/10 11:59 PM
Buying A Condo-Hotel In Oceanside Inn in Daytona Beach Shores It is time to do the update on what is happening in Oceanside Inn, a condo-hotel in Daytona Beach Shores. I would actually say that this is the best condo-hotel in Daytona Beach Shores. And though it is not a new building, of all condo-hotels, this one got the most extensive renovations at time of its conversion in 2003. 2009 was a very slow year for Oceanside Inn. There was only one sale. We worked with the Buyer in the transaction. 2010 is going to be a much more active year. 2

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: It Is So Easy Now To Buy Real Estate on Realtor.com..... Really? - 03/28/10 11:59 PM
It Is So Easy Now To Buy Real Estate on Realtor.com... I get a call. We are talking. The gentleman on the other end asked me about my listing. I am telling him there are others, which are not my listings, but... sorry, not interested. Why? Why are you only trying to talk to the Listing agent? Why not work with your own agent, especially when we are still not asking you for the commission? Because it is easier to deal with the source. Meaning Listing agents. It is so easy now to buy Real Estate on Realtor.com..... Really? You think so?

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: St. Maarten Condominium in Daytona Beach Shores - 03/11/10 07:08 PM
When the Real Estate market in Daytona Beach area was basking in the sun and money, we got some nice condominium buildings popping up on the self proclaimed Most Famous Beach in the World. New developers came to town, new ideas made waves, new levels of luxury got realized in several condominium projects that made it into success... One of those is St. Maarten, the second building in Daytona Beach Shoresby Doug Cook Development. His foray into this market brought, besides fancy Caribbean names, brought a new level of luxury that we did not see here before. His first building was St.

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Beyond The Mess - 02/21/10 11:58 PM
One of my favorite bloggers, Patricia Kennedy, posted Listing From Hell? Not Necessarily. Very well written blog, read it and you will not regret. It reminded me another story, somewhat weird, but we do not choose the stories, we only choose whether to tell them. The Seller of a condo-hotel studio in the Fountain Beach Resort put it for sale for $50K. He had a tenant. The arrangement was that if the tenant was at home, we could call him, give him 10-15 minutes and then show. The tenant never said "no" so that was not the problem. The problem was that

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Hawaiian Inn - Daytona Beach Shores Condo-Hotel - 12/15/09 12:55 AM
Hawaiian Inn Resort2301 S Atlantic AveDaytona Beach Shores, FL 32118Hawaiian Inn is a very popular family resort in Daytona Beach Shores with guests coming year after year for over a decade or more. Of course, there are newer or nicer resorts, but it holds its grounds ... or held it pretty well until recently.A popular Daytona Beach Shores condo-hotel is undergoing major renovations, and in the recession we have now, you really can't find a worse time that this. Hawaiian Inn, converted to condo-hotel about 10 years ago, was showing its age. It was built in 1965, and this is a

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Sunglow Beach Resort - A Condo-Hotel in Daytona Beach Shores - 12/09/09 09:12 AM
Sunglow Beach Resort3647 S Atlantic AveDaytona Beach Shores, Fl 32118 I never wrote about Sunglow Beach Resort before. Technically it is a condo-hotel, and they do not allow homestead, so it is a transient facility only, however it was built in 1985, much later than all of the condo-hotel conversions, which were built in the mid 60s to late 70s. It is in Daytona Beach Shores, but it is too far south and, as many hoteliers say, there is no life south of Dunlawton Ave, and Sunglow Beach Resortis right there, south of Dunlawton Ave, the last road to the mainland,

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Buying a Condo in Daytona Beach Shores. What is CCCL? - 12/05/09 02:05 AM
Can we put together the offer? That's what the customer on the other end of the phone line asked me today. He saw the condo on Trulia. Of course.. And in no time we e-mail the Contract with Addenda for this lovely direct Oceanfront condo unit in Oceans One in Daytona Beach Shores. Best priced unit, and not even on MLS, but we are lucky to know about it. No, we do not represent the Seller in this short sale. We, as usual, are working with buyers. In a long instruction accompanying the Contract and addenda I suggest that if there are any

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Oceans One Condominium in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida - 12/05/09 01:53 AM
The most well known complex of Condominiums in Daytona Beach Shores is the Oceans. Today we make a short stop at Oceans One at 3051 South Atlantic Ave. This is a 21-story Condominium oceanfront building completed in 1974. 120 two-bedroom / two baths units, ranging in size from 1,112 sq. ft. to 1,247 sq. ft. Of course, this is not a really luxury building, ceiling height is 8', coin laundry on each floor. There is a pool outside, it is heated, but because we, Floridians, are spoiled and not really use pool in winter, it is not going to be heated through

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Palma Bella Condominiums in Daytona Beach Shores - 11/19/09 11:20 PM
Palma Bella is one of the newest and finest condominiums in Daytona Beach Shores. Developer - Doug Cook - brought the sense of luxury that simply was not there. Not in the name, as we call luxury any Oceanfront Condo, and though the Ocean is definitely a luxury, the condos very often not. Palma Bella is one of the five oceanfront condominium buildings comprising the Costa Bella collection in Daytona Beach Area. Out of 5 planned 3 have been completed: Marbella, Bella Vista and Palma Bella. Palma Bella is a gorgeous building with very spacious three-bedroom and 3 baths units. Developer

buying a condo in daytona beach shores: Buying Condos In Daytona Beach Shores or in Ponce Inlet. Insurance - 09/18/09 10:03 PM
Buying Condos In Daytona Beach Shores or in Ponce Inlet. What is new? Insurance In good old days of before January 1 this year, there were fewer laws in Florida than today. We used to say that to own a condo in Florida it would cost you a Monthly Maintenance Fee and annual Property Taxes (and we all know about Special Assessments, which are as predictable as major hurricanes that they follow closely.) The new law adds mandatory insurance requirement, and it is called Homeowners 6 Policy. It forces condo owners to purchase a policy on the interior of their unit in addition to
