- 06/01/17 02:07 AM
Why Working with a Local Real Estate Professional Makes All the DifferenceIf you’ve entered the real estate market, as a buyer or a seller, you’ve inevitably heard the real estate mantra, “location, location, location” in reference to how identical homes can increase or decrease in value due to where they’re located.

CentSai, a financial wellness online community, recently surveyed over 2,000 millennials (ages 18-34) and found that 75% of respondents would use a local real estate agent over an online … (0 comments)

real estate agents: Can a Wellington Real Estate Agent Serve Two Masters?
- 09/29/14 12:53 PM
Can a Wellington Real Estate Agent Serve Two Masters? When you set about buying a home for the first time, the lay of the land can be a little tricky. It’s worth recalling some familiar sayings, like
All that glitters is not gold; and
Don’t judge a book by its cover; and
Appearances can be deceiving
Likewise, just as “doubletalk” isn’t twice as reliable as “talk,” in the Wellington home-buying vernacular, a “dual agency” transaction doesn’t necessarily involve twice as many Wellington real estate agents—it can involve just one (or two who are working under the aegis of a single broker).

real estate agents: Want to Sell Your House? Think Like Real Estate Agents Do!

Because real estate agents in Wellington see everything in the market, we have a pretty good idea about why some houses sell (and why others sit on the market for years). Whether as buyer or seller, anyone planning to enter Wellington’s real estate market this summer can benefit from some of the tactics and factors that Wellington real estate agents keep in mind when as they go about the business of making home sales happen:
When Speed Matters…
When the overriding goal is a quick sale, leading with a price slightly lower than what comparables suggest it is really worth … (0 comments)

real estate agents: Palm Beach County Real Estate Agents : 3 Red Flags to Watch For
- 12/02/13 08:15 AM
When we buy or sell a home, the rest of our day-to-day activities tend to get less attention. When an offer comes in (or doesn’t) — or when we have to wait on pins and needles to hear if the home of our dreams will be ours — the rest of what’s going on takes a back seat. That is because buying and selling real estate involves not only significant sums of money, but also crucial and emotional decisions about the center of our family’s activities.
At such a life-changing crossroad, most Palm Beach County people decide that it’s a … (0 comments)

real estate agents: FHA Change Adds 2.5 Million Potential Boomerang Buyers Two Years Ahead of Schedule
- 10/10/13 09:21 PM
Source: Daren Blomquist, Contributor - Source Post
Up to 2.5 million formerly foreclosed homeowners — or those who sold while in the foreclosure process — could be re-entering the housing market as buyers much faster than anticipated thanks to a recent change in Federal Housing Administration (FHA) guidelines.
Close to 2.5 million additional boomerang buyers who lost their home to foreclosure or short sale in the past two years now could be eligible to get financing to buy again under revised FHA guidelines.
Introduced August 15, 2013, by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in Mortgagee Letter … (0 comments)

real estate agents: HUD postpones ban on dual agency in FHA short sales
- 10/09/13 09:07 PM
By: Andrea V. Brambila HUD postpones ban on dual agency in FHA short sales
In what appears to be a coup for the National Association of Realtors, a policy originally slated to take effect on Oct. 1 banning real estate agents and brokers from representing both a buyer and a seller in an FHA short-sale transaction has been postponed.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a letter to mortgage servicers in July outlining a number of new anti-fraud requirements for short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, including policies to ensure “arm’s length” transactions.
One of these policies said “brokers and … (0 comments)

real estate agents: Selling a Home in West Palm Beach: It Can’t Be a Cut-Rate Affair
- 10/01/13 10:54 PM
When it comes to selling a home in West Palm Beach, everyone’s primary objective is, of course, to maximize the final proceeds. It’s not surprising that some sellers assume that a savvy business move would be to ask their real estate agent for a reduced commission. After all, cutting the normal 6% a couple of percentage points still leaves a substantial amount, right?
The reality: since most people haven’t delved into the challenges that always face real estate agents, they are likely to assume that their agent pockets the entire commission. They have no reason to have delved into how … (0 comments)

Get Fast Business from Twitter Think Twitter can't help your business grow? Think again! Gary Vaynerchuck, founder of WineLibrary.com, and author of Crush It, knows how to get business, fast. In a recent LinkedIn article, he showcased 13 real-life tweets that real estate agents can answer directly. Not only does this bypass advertising costs, but it goes right to the source of their business: consumers looking for real estate. For example, the following tweets below were from real house hunters: This one-to-one approach is under-utilized because agents (and many other business owners) tend to think spending money on billboards, print, … (0 comments)

Maximizing Value Helps West Palm Beach Real Estate Agents
On Thursday, Bloomberg’s online news service confirmed what we had been hearing in more general terms: “Sales of previously owned U.S. homes climbed more than forecast in May…and prices jumped, indicating more progress for residential real estate.” Agents here in West Palm Beach would also not have been surprised at the national surge in selling prices “by the most since October 2005”. If you were already inclined to sell your own West Palm Beach home, it looks more and more as if this summer will be a propitious time to jump … (0 comments)

real estate agents: What Makes a Great Mortgage Broker in Jupiter?
- 06/22/13 02:52 AM
Getting a mortgage in Jupiter these days can be more involved than in years past, not least because their historically low rates make them so desirable. That loan can make or break a fantastic deal — the kind of deal you don’t want to lose when you come across it! Central to the process of getting a mortgage is your mortgage broker… but how do you know when you’ve found a great one?
These are some of the qualities I believe most often point to the answer:
Truly outstanding mortgage brokers get tons of referrals from previous clients and … (0 comments)

real estate agents: West Palm Beach Sellers Get Early National Housing Prices News
- 06/06/13 10:26 PM
When I update West Palm Beach readers about the latest news in housing prices, it’s usually not as ‘latest’ as I’d like. The reason is that there is a delay in most of the truly reliable indexes that measure housing prices. The big indexes are national (West Palm Beach housing prices are another matter), and they have a built-in two-month delay.
We can look at trends and directions, but if there is a change afoot, we won’t be sure of that for about 60 days.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal found a way to present unusually fresh numbers. Reporter … (0 comments)

real estate agents: “Final & Best” Scenario Can Affect West Palm Beach Houses for Sale
- 04/26/13 01:09 PM
Those who have been paying close attention to how the houses for sale in West Palm Beach have been performing may have observed the results of the dreaded “multiple offer situation.” When a closing price seems to rise unexpectedly, it could be because of something called the “Notice of Best and Final.”
That notice can be issued by a listing agent as soon as more than one offer is on the table. Experienced real estate agents sometimes choose this strategy to win the best price for their client. It instructs all interested buyers to submit their “best and final … (0 comments)
