florida real estate: The Florida Housing Opportunity Down Payment Assistance Program & The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit: Know The Facts - 07/09/09 12:45 PM
The 'Florida Housing Opportunity Program' allows qualifying buyers the opportunity to use the 'First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Program' as down payment monies.  Under provisions of the Fedral Tax Credit  program, FHA-approved lenders and non-profits were granted the ability to provide loans for access to the credit for down payment assistance.  Instead of creating new offices, Florida chose to utilize it's existing home buyer assistance offices known as SHIP.  Sounds great and easy, but buyers need to be fully aware of the program before trying to take advantage of it's benefits.

florida real estate: What Is An 'Approved' Short Sale? - 02/16/09 10:07 AM
 You can't do a home search without coming across what is designated as a "short sale".  Many buyers are often not sure what this means.  Simply put, a "short sale" is a pre-foreclosure situation and is a sales transaction in which the seller's lender agrees to accept a payoff of less than the balance due on the loan.  These are situations where a seller owes more than the property sells for.  Unlike normal listing situations, the lender is provided a Comparable Analysis, but does not approve an accepted price until an offer is made. Therefore, setting listing price has obvious challenges.  These are transactions which (in most … (0 comments)

So what have we learned over the last few years in terms of advertising properties for sale?  Well, we know that we must advertise on the Internet.  We even know what websites to be on.  But it takes a lot more than just Being anywhere.  It takes great presentation that is both strategic and has all the components prospective buyers are looking for when shopping. 
Consumers have been telling us a lot about HOW, WHY, and WHAT they are looking for when they use the Internet to shop.  In some industries people are pretty comfortable making a selection on-line, adding the item to the … (0 comments)

florida real estate: Successful Home Selling In 2009 & Beyond: Price & Understanding Buyers - 01/27/09 10:52 AM
Over the last year I worked exclusively with buyers.  It was an interesting experience that gave me better insight into how and why buyers are making buying decisions.  From the seller standpoint it gave me great insight into why buyers also pass over a property.  I'm back into the full-service aspect of the business and have put together a seller program that is a combination of what worked in the past for me and what I learned over the last year from looking through the buyer's eyes.  It's a no-gimmick program strategically designed for results.  More on that later.  I want … (1 comments)
