marjorie taylor: Details On Required Seller Disclosure For St Augustine FL Real Estate - 05/30/12 04:45 AM
When listing properties, sellers and their agents have a legal obligation to provide everything known about a residence. The majority of lawsuits pertain to buyers knowing that a seller purposely neglected to disclose details. Below are details on required seller disclosure for St Augustine FL real estate.
The Requirement to Disclose Disclosing all facts is vital. In minor cases, failure to disclose facts about a home may merely lead to a buyer spending more on repairs. In more dramatic cases, it may cause bodily injury of the new homeowners. There was one instance where a heating system malfunction led to the … (2 comments)

marjorie taylor: Many rental properties allow dogs but no cats. What's up with that? - 05/22/12 07:20 AM
VIP Staging and Home Management specializes in helping real estate agents sell their vacant home listings by staging them and placing Home Managers to be caretakers until the home sells. Our homes in St. Augustine are priced approximately 50% less than fair rental pricing. I get a LOT of calls for rentals and many prospects have pets.
This is a common question asked of me by prospective Home Managers. They just LOVE their cats, they are smaller than dogs, have less woodwork chewing issues so why don’t owners allow them? Simply, I believe it is because of the dangers of cat … (6 comments)

marjorie taylor: GM Says NO To Facebook - 05/18/12 10:41 AM
I read an artilce in Forbes Magazine about GM and Facebook Advertising. It stated that General Motors announced that it plans to stop advertising on the Facebook, concluding that "Facebook paid ads don’t have a big impact on consumers".
Maybe that is the case for large automobile manufacturers, but not for Real Estate Marketing. We have seen a lot of success with the targeted ads offered by Facebook with agents selling homes in St. Augustine. Question, do you have a new listing in an over 55 community like The Cascades in St. Augustine? Target your ad to the soon to retire in the Tri-state area … (2 comments)

marjorie taylor: Florida Flood Insurance To Increase - 05/03/12 11:48 AM
I don’t normally like to post negative news – however this is informative to buyers and sellers of homes in St. Augustine. I just read an article from South Florida Sun-Sentinel that stated that flood insurance rates will increase.
“The National Flood Insurance Program, the only source of coverage for 2.1 million Florida households, will raise its rates by an average of 5 percent in October and maybe as much as 20 percent in high-risk areas over the next few years. Federal officials also have told Florida insurance agents they can no longer provide discounts of up to 15 percent for … (0 comments)

marjorie taylor: Microsoft 8 is Taking it Mobile - 04/16/12 06:28 AM
Have you read about Windows 8? Microsoft is taking it mobile!
Their new platform is a mobile-inspired operating system whose design boasts to connect user experiences across PCs, tablets, and smartphones. (iPads??) With this roll out, Microsoft says they they’ve learned from past failures such as Vista (which I didn’t think was so bad- really). The preview of Windows 8 shows that it is easy to use.
I love growth and change, and was noodling with the idea of downloading the beta version of Microsoft Windows 8 to test it out. However, I think I will stick with my … (1 comments)

marjorie taylor: Typical Seller Mistakes When Listing Homes in St Augustine - 03/03/12 06:29 AM
Many seller actions can affect a home sale. Some typical seller mishaps when listing homes in St Augustine are worse than others. Sellers can avoid the mistakes shown below:
Not Focusing on the Staging or Cleanup
It can be difficult to keep a property presentable at all times especially while still occupying it. Sellers must spend time staging and cleaning prior to property viewings and open houses. Buyers tend to notice little about a property and more of the mess inside, so not paying attention to cleaning will make your property less interesting. Buyers assume that sellers who do not clean … (4 comments)

marjorie taylor: Reduce Low-Ball offers on Vacant Listings - 02/19/12 12:41 PM
Most real estate agents will agree that selling an empty house is much more difficult than selling one that is furnished and staged. With a vacant property, when a buyer materializes, they bring low-ball offers, capitalizing on the desperate nature of a listing.
Sometimes homeowners can’t afford to leave their home vacant while it is on the market. They may have to depend on some rental income to offset the carrying and mortgage costs. However, renting a home while it is for sale can be a nightmare. Often showings are hardly convenient for the tenant even with 24 hour notice. The … (3 comments)
