In a court of law....Is it a 5 BR/2car garage, or a 4 BR w/a secret room in the garage?
AND THERE REALLY IS, NO ROOM IN THE GARAGE FOR A CAR - PERIOD!
How well does the information on the MLS sheets hold up and the pictures they post?
At the end of ours it says that - "Information is deemed accurate but not warranted."
SO - If the picture shows a fridge and there isn't one there, if there is supposed to be a pool filtration system and someone decided to break in and steal it, if the DW is there, but doesn't work.
EVEN BETTER: If is says its a 5 bedroom, 2 car garage...and it's a 4 bedroom with a strange box framed inside the garage and it has no closet - it's a 4 bedroom - RIGHT? and in this case there is no garage.
The listing says 5 BR/3BATH/2 CAR GARAGE...NOT, 5 bedroom - secret bedroom behind existing garage...so there really is no garage but there is a secret room there with no windows, no closet and no bathroom even relatively close...Listing is very misleading...
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THE LISTING AGENT - My customer is in the process of making an offer.
I wrote these stats yesterday for Localism, however:
I thought I would put it out there to Realtors(r) as well, b/c people are still thinking, we are giving away property here in SE Florida for as low as $25,000. by the beach - I've never ever saw a property listed that low east of Federal Highway or US 1.
I can't even find anything that low in a SFH anywhere. There was one condo, which I had a customer offer on...it was up to $30K as a back-up.
We've sold a ton of inventory under $100K here in south Florida. From what I hear, the banks are getting rid of low priced inventory and hoping prices come up a little before they release the more expensive inventory.
WHAT ARE YOU SEEING IN YOUR AREA? (Sorry for writing in bold, it's easier for me to read, really not shouting.)

Well somehow the Health Care reform bill passed...
Now, it will be interesting to see what happens from here.
I wonder if the congress and the senate are going to have to use this new health insurance as well.
What I wonder is, did anyone really read all those pages and does anyone even know the content of the Health Care reform bill?
They think the Americans won today? Well, I worked in the health care industry for 25 years and I know how long it takes to make sense of CPT codes and ICD9 codes the value of each and it just is not that easy. In my opinion, this is going to be a night mare.
I do want everyone to have insurance, that is for sure as I myself have a pre-existing condition (Kidney cancer in 2002) and I was denied insurance for the last 3 years. In the past, I was not eligible for insurance until 2012. Ten years clean and they would think about it.
What scares me is that there are people making policy for the Americans that have little or know idea of how to set this program up. Yes, there were doctors involved, but they don't set up the CPT codes or the ICD9 codes, others do it, and their office Administrators and Directors are the ones who set this up for the offices/hospitals...after all, doctors take care of patients and rely on others expertise to set up their practices.
As I watch this approval, I'm sick in my stomach...all this news cast is and all the comments are...to suck up to Nancy Pelosi...nothing that says a word about the "END PRODUCT" - THEN AGAIN, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY JUST PASSED...
Without Nancy Pelosi this bill wouldn't have passed? Who wanted it to? Other than for her political gain, I don't think she knows what the bill says or even the ramifications of the bill.
SO, YOU EITHER GET HEALTH INSURANCE OR YOU WILL PAY A FINE!
Nopawleftbehind.org...a great place to adopt a pet, in SE Florida.
My friends daughter started this non-profit organization to enable pets left behind by owners who have passed away or owners who just didn't want to be bothered with a pet anymore.
The organization is in Deerfield Beach, FL.
Jacquelyn developed this organization due to her love of animals and her Grandmothers love of animals.
I just adopted "Molly" -
Molly took about 3 weeks to become a fantastic friend and she sits and works with me while I am listing and looking for properties for my customers.
This non-profit organization covers Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties in SE Florida.
If you are interested in a new pet, call me 954-464-4194 and I will connect you with the owner.
Nothing better than this.
When you want a new puppy, or even if you want an older animal (cats as well), they will be spayed or neutered, have all their shots, kennel cough included, and have their flee and tick treatments. She will not let any of her new found "children" out of her site unless they are in great shape!
I'm very happy...if you want to adopt an adorable pet in need of a home...call me.

How Excited was I to receive the Realtor.com's "Award of Excellence" from Max Pigman last Wednesday?
I was thrilled! When I was first invited to this seminar and told that I had been chosen to receive this award, I have to tell you...I didn't believe it. I talked to my office manager and asked her if anyone else had ever had a call like this before and she said, "Not to my knowledge", we just had a little laugh and I totally forgot about it.
Then last Monday night David from Realtor.com called me and said, "Are you going to make the seminar on Wednesday morning, you are going to receive an award." I thought, "Well, maybe this is real!" so I said, "Yes, I'll be there."
Well, to my surprise, it was a real award, and it was based on the fact that I add more pictures to my listings than is required, I make comments on the pictures, and I fill in as much of the data on the MLS sheets that goes through to their site as I possibly can.
So, here is what I received:
Now, I know it's hard to read, however, Max Pigman, VP of Realtor.com presented me with this award and I had my picture taken with him during the presentation and this will be part of their website.
It was a great seminar, and they had some great marketing ideas about new camera's that take better pictures, attachments that widen the view, lighting features, and they (as does Brad) advocate the use of the iPHONE vs the Blackberry because of the ability to open attachments.
Mr. Pigman didn't know that we here in south Florida were also able to access our MLS from our iPHONE's as well (thank you Brad - you told me I would thank you and you are so right!)
So, that being said, I had a fantastic week.
How was your week? We are really busy here in south east Florida. If you need any assistance, please feel free to let me know.
At Brads suggestion (and if my phone worked it would be great), I purchased an iPHONE in July. Ever since I purchased the phone, I have not had good service in my home or office. I have constant dropped calls and people tell me they only hear every other word I say when I am using my phone.
That being said, YES, I have updated my phone, they have given me a new SIM card, I have done everything on earth to get this situation rectified.
Today, out of TOTAL FRUSTRATION, I took my phone back to BEST BUY and explained the situation. I bought my phone at BEST BUY, because they offer "insurance". When I bought the phone, I was told that if there were ever any issues with the phone, they would replace it. WELL - NOT!!!
When I went there today, they said that the policy had changed - mine was old (bought the phone in July - OLD???) and that they would have to send my phone back to APPLE, overnight, and that I would have a replacement in 3 days...DO THEY NOT KNOW WHAT 3 DAYS WITHOUT A PERSONAL PHONE MEANS TO A REALTOR(R)??? They offered to give me a totally different phone...not sure what it was, and offered to teach me how to use it...um...it took me 3 weeks to be comfortable with all the features of the iPHONE...AND, I have customers flying down to go see properties with me. I count on the GPS (and it works well for me) and also the features that I know can use without thinking.
So, with all the above, the sales "Assistant Manager" told me that there are many complaints about the same thing in my area. The server is AT&T...AT&T tells me I am in a high signal area and they are currently working on boosting it even further.
The "Assistant Sales manager" talked to the "Assistant store manager" and I talked to the Sales Manager of the phone department and they still would not honor my "old" (July) contract. What is the point of buying at BEST BUY, and purchasing their "insurance" if they won't honor the contract, saying that APPLE CHANGED THEIR POLICY. Was I notified of this change, NO.
The media wasted 3 hrs of time today, because a child lied..what should happen...
I am pretty disgusted at the fact that a sibling of someone who designed a flotation devise in a back yard encompassed the news for three hours today...The fact that we watched and waited for the demise or death of a 6 year old child as parents of our own children had us heart struck for over three hours is horrific.
The children (the two older ones) or the one that reported the youngest child in this so called balloon...which was filled with Helium ( my question is why was this filled and waiting to go into the air without a parent around or filled with Helium, period. And, why weren't these children supervised while around this so called, " weather hot air balloon? "
The whole world was sitting and hoping this 6 year old who supposedly was in this balloon was sitting, watching and waiting to see if he was safe and in fact alive on landing. I, myself probably wasted my 3 hours of work aghast at the site. Losing $750.00 is not funny.
The other 2 children who supposedly were ready to record this on video...should be punished. The parents who allowed these young children access to this "mushroom type balloon" should also be punished.
The kid is in the "attic" and no one could find him within 20 minutes or one hour of the "so called balloon being launched" is ridiculous.
The cost incurred by law enforcement officers is also ridiculous and should be a fine to the parents. Why, because if you are devising something like this, your young children should not know how to untie it and to be accessible to it at all...Your children look like they are all under 12...sir...you are responsible for the time by helicopters, law enforcement, and whoever else was helping to look for your 6 year old...while he was in your attic in a box. My question to you is...how did he get into the attic and if you knew he could get into the attic, why didn't you look there for him and save all the cost incurred, when the medics, police, and specialists were called in to help you.
Were you trying to get attention for your product? Did you have anything to do with this situation? After all rumor has it, your children were on the roof video taping the whole situation...and they are visually young.
Mr. and Mrs. Parent...yes, you took over the news all over America for 3 hours...tell me...where were you when your children were playing with your experiment? And, why did your older sons say your 6 year old was in the basket...and what fell from the balloon?
Because of confidentiality issues and the price of the sales, I cannot reference the deals that I have been able to close due to my activity and friendships developed through Active Rain...however, I thank this site.
That being said, I have new contacts on a daily basis with requests for my services, requests for properties to be bought and sold, for bulk investors.
I currently am looking for bank owned properties in Miami/Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties.
What I need is bank owned properties - single family homes price range $200 -$450K...NOT LISTED BY A REALTOR...I am looking for a bank that will sell me bulk properties in $3,000,000. packages.
I have multiple buyers - at least 3 at this point to the tune of $15M.
If you are a bank or you have a contact that has inventory to sell in Miami, Broward, or Palm Beach county, please call me...
No one really believes this, however, investor inventory is drying up...banks are refinancing in my area...
SE Florida has their own rules as does Florida in general...We are a state that has their own rules...
Amazingly enough we are not in bad shape in SE Florida.
