palm beach: Do NOT Raise the Price on Your Palm Beach Gardens Real Estate! - 06/10/09 09:52 AM
Now that the word is spreading that the worst of the housing crisis is over, some homeowners are starting to do some incredibly stupid things.
(BTW, if you're offended by that you should take a very close look at what you are currently doing.)
The BIG question is "Do you REALLY want to sell it, or do you want it to sit on the market for a looooooooong time while the houses around it DO sell"?
Believe it or not, some people are starting to RAISE the prices on their homes! Folks, please, get a grip. If your home has not sold in … (2 comments)

palm beach: Rentals in Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter - 05/27/09 08:31 AM
Well, it happened again....
Someone approached me in the grocery store yesterday and said that he knew that I was in real estate, but since I 'only handle Buyers and Sellers' could I recommend someone to help him find a rental?!?!
I was shocked!
I don't know why anyone would make that assumption because
I certainly DO work with rentals!
So, if your looking for yearly or seasonal:
Palm Beach Gardens rentals
Jupiter rentals
Juno Beach rentals
or rentals in the surrounding areas, don't hesitate to give me a call at 561-282-7406.
AND if you are going to need a … (2 comments)

palm beach: More Positive Palm Beach Real Estate News- - 02/26/09 04:49 PM
Back on December 15th I wrote a post about those people who refuse to believe that things are improving with Palm Beach real estate.
"Those Who Wait, Lose" was dedicated to those who keep looking and looking, thinking they have time to waste because as they say: 'Nothing's selling - we have PLENTY of time'.
Well.... things ARE selling and those folks who continue to wait continue to lose out.
The South Florida Business Journal recently posted two articles:
Florida Home Sales Up, But Prices Still Down
"Statewide, sales of existing, single-family homes was up 13 percent in the fourth quarter, compaired to the same period a year … (1 comments)

palm beach: Palm Beach Florida is one of the TOP Places to Buy a House - I Told You So..... - 02/11/08 07:31 PM
I can talk about how great Palm Beach real estate is until I'm blue in the face - and I often do.
But it never hurts to have another opinion, so I was thrilled to see what well-known real estate investor and analysist Dr. Danielle Babb had to say last week on Enterpreneur.com -
The article was titled "The Best and Worst Places to Buy a Home" and you can read it HERE.
This is how the article starts out:
"Whether you're looking for an investment property or a place to live, here's a look at the cities you should seek out and avoid in … (8 comments)

palm beach: Making Palm Beach Gardens Real Estate Even More Attractive - BallenIsles - 02/08/08 11:42 AM
People who regularly read my posts will know that I, along with many, many other Agents, am no fan of mass media - mainly due to the fact that they push negativity to an extreme. Face it - negativity sells! Newspapers - not real estate.
So, when a newspaper prints something POSITIVE about Real Estate, I feel that I should give credit where credit is due.
This weekend The Palm Beach Post featured BallenIsles as it's 'Neighborhood of the Week' and gave readers a look into one of the best Golf / Country Clubs available.
I've written several posts about BallenIsles -and I've got … (2 comments)

palm beach: Help ME to Help YOU Find the Palm Beach Real Estate that You Really Want - 02/07/08 09:25 AM
I don't mean to go off on a rant (with apologies to Dennis Miller) -
BUT......
And I do realize that you have to take the good with the BAD not-so-good -
BUT......
Let's go over 2 recent Customer contacts that I have had.
Both want to buy real estate in Palm Beach Gardens, one doesn't need a mortgage the other one isn't sure.
Easy so far -
Customer 1: I'm looking to buy a home -
Me: Fantastic - let's go over your specific wants / needs and we'll take it from there-
Customer 1: It's going to be for me, my wife and 2 children. We want a single family … (8 comments)

palm beach: Selling Your Palm Beach Gardens Home - Don't Make this Mistake! - 02/07/08 08:33 AM
You are trying to sell your real estate in Palm Beach Gardens and you're sure you've done everything right.
I talk to Clients all the time about pricing, legalities - the BIG things.
But you'd be shocked at how many people need to be reminded about the LITTLE things - such as making sure that your house is CLEAN!
Yes, that was thinly-veiled sarcasm....
I previewed several homes the other day for a client that will be coming down to buy in 2 - 3 weeks.
Several were OK, but one was a mess - actually pretty dirty and the other Agent didn't seem to think that … (0 comments)

palm beach: You Checked the Facts on Your Current Mortgage.. What Did You Find? Part 3 - 02/04/08 02:19 PM
Happy Friday Everyone-
The last 2 days I've been talking about checking on your current mortgage - I want you to be sure that you know exactly what you have and I discussed several ways that you could have been tricked.
Now, if you looked through all of your paperwork and everything checks out.... GREAT! That's how it should be.
However, if the mortgage on your Palm Beach real estate is NOT what you thought you had then it's time to fix things.
The most frequent issue is that someone has an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) - but they thought it was fixed.
If that's the … (3 comments)

palm beach: Make Sure You Know What Kind of Mortgage You Have - Don't be Surprised in 2008 - Part 2 - 02/02/08 10:32 AM
Yesterday I started asking people the following: Do You Know What Kind of Mortgage that you currently have?
Quite a few Palm Beach real estate owners would say "Sure!" without hesitation.
However......
I would tell EVERYONE to double-check your paperwork before you get a surprise.
After several years in the business, I've lost track of the number of people that have come to me to refinance their home loans because they were shocked that 'all of a sudden' their monthly mortgage payment increased.
The majority of the time the person was scammed, tricked or just flat-out lied to. It's disgusting, but Mortgage Brokers and Lenders have … (5 comments)

palm beach: What Kind of Mortgage Do You Have? Are You SURE?? - 02/01/08 08:33 AM
What kind of mortgage do you have on your Palm Beach home?
Is it fixed ?
Is it adjustable?
Are you 100% sure of your answer?
As crazy as it may seem, too many Palm Beach real estate owners really don't know the exact details of their home loans.
Start the year off right - dig up your paperwork, and check everything out NOW to avoid any nasty surprises in 2008.
Tomorrow I'll be going over some of the most common mistakes and what you can do to solve the problem - it can be very easy - just don't be one of the masses that waits … (2 comments)

palm beach: Top Real Estate in Palm Beach - BallenIsles Club Information - 02/01/08 08:26 AM
In the past few months I've written several articles about BallenIsles-
I consistently get more inquiries about the homes in there then any other Palm Beach real estate.
Not only are the homes fantastic, but BallenIsles is also well known for it's Member's Club.
I recently received an update from Cheryll R. Plotkin, the Director of Membership Services - here are some of the main points:
"BallenIsles Country Club is a private, member-owned residential country club with three 18-hole championship golf courses, 23 tennis courts, pool, bocce court, three dining venues, great food, very attractive social program, and plenty of space for card playing. BallenIsles … (0 comments)

palm beach: 100% Mortgages for Palm Beach Real Estate - Good or Bad? - 01/04/08 04:47 PM
Before we go over the GOOD vs BAD parts of the 100% Home Loans I want to discuss the availability of this particular Mortgage.
A lot of things have changed in the Mortgage Industry in 2007 - the subprime mess at the beginning of the year is still on everyone's mind.
You'll see and hear different Palm Beach area mortgage companies advertising that they "STILL HAVE" 100% mortgages as if they were something special - uhhhh, not quite. Virtually all mortgage brokerages still offer the loan, however the requirements to qualify for the loan have tightened up a bit.
Now, here's the important part: … (4 comments)

palm beach: Selling Palm Beach Real Estate - Let's Look at Another Widespread Myth- - 12/14/07 12:15 PM
Palm Beach real estate - not only is it not sold by having Open Houses - it's also not sold by using Print Advertising!
So then, why is it all over the place?
Well, let's go back a few years. My generation (I'm 40) was introduced to computers early in high school. Our grandparents and parents knew no other form of real estate advertising than the newspaper ads - there certainly wasn't anything to look at on-line, because there was no 'on-line' yet!
Habits tend to change over the years, but people still think that if there isn't an ad in the Sunday paper, … (11 comments)

palm beach: Open Houses DO NOT Sell Real Estate... Surprise! - 12/14/07 09:11 AM
It's unfortunate that so many Sellers still hold on to the notion that having an Open House is an absolute must if you are going to be able to sell their home.
Things might be slightly different in your area, but in Palm Beach, having an Open House is a big waste of time. (There I go, telling the truth again....)
So, why do so many Real Estate Agents still do them? Two big reasons:
One - it makes the Client happy. They THINK that the Open House will work, so you'd better agree to do them. Too many people just want their 'rears' kissed. Ask yourself something: … (2 comments)
