WE HANDLE SHORT SALES IN AVENTURA • BAL HARBOUR & SUNNY ISLES BEACH

Via Nestor & Katerina Gasset Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.):

There have been so many posts written about short sales on Active Rain lately. When I first started blogging on Active Rain in June of 2007 there was only us and Dan Forbes that were writing series on how to do a short sale. At that time I would say that 90% of all the comments that we received were that agents were refusing to list or sell short sales. In fact, there were brokers who dissallowed the agents in their offices to participate in Short Sales.

It only took about a year or so before agents started to realize that if they did not at least show their buyers short sales that they may not stay in this business. Although I don't believe that to be true because there are many niches to conquer in real estate- but that is another subject. There are now designations and certifications so you can call yourself a short sale expert even if you have never done a short sale through to closing.

As soon as Nestor got his real estate license in Texas many moons ago- his very first listing was a short sale and after they had an offer he closed the short sale in 2 weeks. Yep, 2 weeks is how long it used to take to get a short sale approval. We did short sales back in the 80's recession also.

Short sales are not new. They are not foreign. They have been around as long as mortgages have been around. Do you remember or still see those signs anywhere in your state from the company, We Buy Ugly Houses? They were doing short sales long before most agents knew what the term meant.

Even as short as last week, here in Florida- I was asked by a real estate agent who was setting up a showing for one of our listings, "What is a short sale?". I was about to ask her what rock did she just crawl out from under, but instead I educated her about what a short sale is and how to write up an offer for a short sale and how to explain it to her buyer.

Of course writing short sale posts on Active Rain is great for Google Juice. I have seen a huge increase in real estate agents on Active Rain writing posts about short sales and many of these posts are being featured. The only problem with that is that much of what is being written are simply not facts.

Much of what agents write about is one or two or three listings that they have closed on as short sales. While it is fine to write from one's own experiences and tell the process as it pertained to that particular short sale it is not a good idea to write blanket statements about short sales.

I highly recomment that if you are not an authority on short sales that you do not write articles as an authority. Instead for your protection and to do the consumers justice with correct information please preface your posts with disclaimers:

If you are writing about certain customs in your state- let the public know that your post is about your state. This way a seller in Florida does not read a post from someone in California and form the wrong opinion such as- the state of California is a non deficiency state for owner occupied primary residences and the state of Florida is a deficiency state. This is a huge difference.

I don't think that consumers understand the law in different states so if you are writing in generalities- don't! This is NOT fair to homeowners who may have found your blog online and then take your word as gospel.

If you are basing all of your short sale article on just one or two of your closings and you are sharing that information to the nation and the world in a public post- be careful. You need to make sure that you crossed all your T's and dotted your I's. I read posts written here on Active Rain where what transpired during the short sale process was NOT in the best interest of the seller. This is not information you want to share with the world and have someone come back at you later.

Know what a short sale is. Even today I am reading on Active Rain definitions of what a short sale that are not true or factual.

A short sale is a seller's lender agreeing to accept less than what is owed to them. Period. End of story. Nothing more, nothing less.

Anyone can ask their lender to accept a short pay off. There are so many articles giving false information on the Internet and on Active Rain about sellers' having to qualify and who can get a short sale approved and who can not. This is extremely unfair to the consumers reading your blog. You may not want to list certain short sales but the fact is that anyone can ask their lender to accept a short pay off. If you do not want to list certain short sales because of your judgment that is a call you make because it is your business but don't spread it all over the Internet that property owners of certain circumstances can not do a short sale. Your ethics may not be their ethics.

The extent to which it will be approved will depend upon the real estate agents' ability to negotiate. I will write another post about that.

I want to apologize that my short sale book is not ready. I am on my last few chapters and then it will go to the editor.

Potato Chips // Park Bench // Lunch With The Lord

Mott Kornicki • Real Estate In Miami (SIB REALTY, Llc) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:43:44 -0500

Potato Chips

A little boy wanted to meet God.
He knew it was a long trip to where God
lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato
chips and a six-pack of root beer
and started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks,
he met an old woman. She was sitting in
the park, just staring at some pigeons.
The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase.
He was about to take a drink from
his root beer when he noticed that the old lady
looked hungry, so he offered her some chips.
She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.

Her smile was so pretty that the
boy wanted to see it again, so he
offered her a root beer. Again,
she smiled at him. The boy was
delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating
and smiling, but they never said a word.

As twilight approached, the boy realized
how tired he was and he got up
to leave; but before he had gone
more than a few steps, he turned
around, ran back to the old woman, and gave
her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his
own house a short time later, his
mother was surprised by the look
of joy on his face. She asked him,
"What did you do today that made you so
happy?" He replied, "I had lunch
with God." But before his mother could
respond, he added, "You know what?
She's got the most beautiful
smile I've ever seen!"

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant
with joy, returned to her home.
Her son was stunned by the look
of peace on her face and he asked,
"Mother, what did you do today
that made you so happy?" She replied,
"I ate potato chips in the park with God."
However, before her son responded,
she added, "You know, he's much
younger than I expected."

Too often we underestimate the power
of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring, all
of which have the potential to turn a
life around. People come into
our lives for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

Have lunch with God........bring chips.

Via Mike Mueller (Tech and Social Media Consultant):

I’ve always felt Social Media should attract and engage new connections and enhance existing ones. I went in search the other day (online) for a few new contacts. I searched in the usual places; Google, ActiveRain, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. While I added a few it also crystallized the cold stark reality that sometimes what we do and how we do it actually hurts our doing business.

Here’s just a few examples:

If someone reaches out and requests to connect to you on a social network and you reply with “Do I know you?!?!?!?!?!” You’re building a wall. In social networking you never know where that next referral is going to come from. Send me a reply like that and our relationship just hit a brick wall.

If your website has only a contact me form and no obvious email address, phone number or anyway of really contacting you – You’re building a wall. Yes, I know it cuts down on spam, but how many potential clients have you lost because they didn’t want to fill out your form? I send all my email through Gmail for free automatic spam filtering. It doesn’t stop everything but stops plenty. Question: If you gain one additional client this year would it be worth it to have a few more spam emails?

If you place non working links to your website on your profile (LinkedIn, ActiveRain, Facebook, Twitter) You’re building a wall. Test and test again. Do you have a complete profile to begin with? Profiles are free links to your real business sites. Why not use them? Did you know LinkedIn will return a “website not found” if you don’t start your link with http:// ? Really! When was the last time you checked yours?

Congratulations, you are an SEO machine! Your Market Data Reports get you high up on a Google search for your keywords. However, if you’ve written nothing compelling, nothing that endears a “human” to want to connect with you, what’s the point? You’re building a wall.

If your site has banner ads, adwords, and affiliate links placed everywhere it raises the question – what business are you really in? You’re building a wall.

If you purposefully show just the first paragraphs of a post with a “read more…” hoping to drive more traffic to a particular site. Unless those few words convey everything you needed to say, You’re building a wall. The same could be said for incomplete RSS feeds. there’s very few that I get that I’ll follow to finish reading. Very few.

If you don’t do everything in your power to make it as easy as you can for any visitor to connect with you on any and every platform you guessed it, You’re building a wall. Think about that for a second. Social Media should enable a potential client to be able to communicate with you on the level they choose , not yours. They should be able to do so quickly and easily. If a client prefers to call you – how hard is it to find your number? If I find your number will I get you or will I get a recording? Are you a time blocker? What happens when a time blocker calls another time blocker? What about email? Facebook? LinkedIn? Twitter?

I’ll stop there. This is just my opinion but I think in times like these we shouldn’t be building walls, we should be tearing them down!

Do you have walls?

style. Community Waterfront Pool, Clubhouse, Gym, Tennis courts, 24 hour security,

Surrounded by sapphire seas, nestled along the shores of Biscayne Bay, this lushly landscaped, 24-hour manned, gated community offers much more than just a prestigious Aventura address.

But the real beauty of this glorious waterfront community really can't be seen. It must be lived. Because the remarkable lifestyle at Village by the Bay is, perhaps, the best reason to live here. Think of it as your own private playground. An exclusive waterfront resort with all the comforts of home - plus a little extra sophisticated style.

The Cleaning Lady // Do You Know Her Name? // An Important Lesson!

Mott Kornicki • Real Estate In Miami (SIB REALTY, Llc) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 16:59:19 -0600

Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor
gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions until I read
the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
cleaning woman several times. She was tall,
dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if
the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,
you will meet many people. All are significant. They
deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
is smile and say "hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
name was Dorothy.

Via V Dr. (jump2top):

Miami apartment rentals are undoubtedly easy to locate. However, you need to have your own preferences in choosing them. The facilities listed below will guide you in the choosing process. These are the most preferred amenities by people searching for apartments in the city of Miami.

Let us walk through the most essential facilities and find out how important they may be in your case.

Air Conditioning

Miami is a semi-tropical city. A lot of people love the warmth and heat of the sun. However, this may not be true to all cases since some people depend on air-conditioning systems as well. Some Miami apartment rentals allow you to bring your own unit while others have pre-installed central conditioning systems.

In-Unit Washer Dryer

Some people do not go to community washing machines for laundry. For these people, it is essential to have such kind of system at home. Aside from the cheaper laundry costs, you’ll also enjoy the convenience of having your own washer and dryer at home.

Dishwasher

Not all people have the spare time to wash their dishes. If you are in such case, you can choose Miami apartment rentals with dishwashers on them. Although this can pump your water and electric bill, it is definitely a convenient way to do your chores at home.

Balcony, Patio, Deck or Porch

Some home owners prefer to have extra space around the rental place. Since you will live in Miami, a balcony can be very useful in your home. The weather outside is perfect for having breakfast in your porch. It is also nice to be able to cook outside during a nice weather.

Space For Your Pets

Having space for your pets is also an essential amenity. There are several Miami apartment rentals which cater to such needs. Some landlords also have flexibility around cats and dogs. However, the size of your pets has to be considered since not all rental places have extra space to accommodate them. Free Parking

Free parking is another essential amenity. A good parking space can keep your car safe during the day and night. Before closing a deal with the apartment owner, it is necessary to ask about this kind of facility.

Internet Access

Almost everything can be processed through the internet these days. It is therefore necessary to have such kind of facility in your home. It is not hard to find Miami apartment rentals which have an easy internet access since almost all homes and buildings today are equipped with such facility.

Pick Up In The Rain // Another Random Act of Kindness // Another "ActiveRain" Moment!

Mott Kornicki • Real Estate In Miami (SIB REALTY, Llc) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:35:39 -0600

Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally
unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a
knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home.

A special note was attached..

It read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my
clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole
