sellers: A Black Eye Can Be Painful. Does Your Central Florida Home Have One? - 03/08/09 10:35 PM
When selling a Central Florida home, it's important for Sellers and their listing agents to have knowledge of what potential "black eyes" the property may have so that it can be priced accordingly. Just a couple of years ago, Buyers had fewer choices which made them more willing to accept a property with a "black eye." Today, the exact opposite seems to be true. With inventory at an all time high, Central Florida Buyers are more critical than ever of "black eye" homes and Sellers are feeling the pain. In reviewing sales statistics for Central Florida homes, it is evident that … (6 comments)
sellers: Settlement between NAR & DOJ = New Listing Agreements & More Options for Central Florida Sellers - 02/24/09 09:05 AM
After five years of negotiation between the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), a settlement has been reached that has resulted in the requirement of new listing agreements that provide more options for Sellers, who can now elect what marketing efforts their brokers provide when listing their home for sale. Specifically, the settlement requires that Central Florida Sellers now be given more choices when it comes to the display of their property on the Internet. The new listing agreements now give Sellers the option to decide if they want their listing to be advertised on the Internet or not. If they do … (1 comments)

sellers: "Ten Questions Every Seller Should Ask" When Interviewing a Listing Agent (Part II) - 07/05/08 11:27 AM
Yesterday, I posted the first of this two-part series. You can read the first five questions here. Now that I have you stitting on the edge of your seat, here are the next five questions... 5. How long is the listing agreement? The reason for this question is simple...you should know the length of time you and your agent will be working together. You might want a three month listing agreement and your agent might want a year-long commitment. Find out at the interview what type of time period you are obligating yourself to. 6. Do you offer a "Satisfaction Guarantee" … (8 comments)
sellers: Protecting Your Seller's Interests - 05/28/08 09:45 PM
Protecting a Seller's interest is a Listing Agent's ethical and legal obligation. One of the ways I have found to be most effective in positioning the Seller for success is by having two separate files for the property. The first should be the "official office file" and should contain the listing agreement, disclosures, MLS data entry form and any other required office forms. There should be no personal information about the Seller or the Seller's motivation to sell included in the office file, as this set of records is typically kept in a file cabinet in the main circulation room and every agent in the office … (6 comments)
sellers: Inspections Before a Contract? Now, that's an Interesting Concept! - 05/21/08 10:35 PM
In Florida, most real estate contracts are written with the contingency of satisfactory inspections and the ability of the Buyer to obtain financing. For those of us who have never lived in another state, or practiced real estate anywhere else, we've always done it that way and quite frankly, it seemed to make sense...why would the Buyer pay for inspections on a house that they haven't come to terms with the Seller on yet? Well, according to some recent Buyers I have been working with who live up north, many other states follow a different practice when it comes to inspections. From what I am being … (7 comments)
