orlando vacation and holiday homes: Normal Buyers
- 12/09/08 11:45 PM
In Orlando Central Florida the past 2 months we have sold 45% of the listings in Osceola county. The prices have adjusted but are managing to hold some value. There are a lot of cash buyers in the area that are coming from everywhere. Hopefully we can keep going in this positive direction. Mortgages are still an issue. We still have our share of crazys. " I will offer 25,000 on this 300,000 house. I am sure you have them too. Most buyers appreciate the 35% correction in price. www.BuyOrlandoProperties.com … (0 comments)
orlando vacation and holiday homes: Confidence in the market?
- 10/09/08 09:27 AM
We have a very very serious problem with money and confidence in the U.S. and the rest of the world. Real estate prices have adjusted over the past few years, unfortunatly we are caught up in the decline of personel investments. Mutual funds, Stock Market accounts, IRA's and Pensions are down and gone. Most will never come back. We know have to work with people that have a good job and some money that is left from these accounts. Hopefully, the confidence in all the markets will come back after the election. www.BuyOrlandoProperties.com

orlando vacation and holiday homes: Is the news changing?
- 06/03/08 01:43 AM
This past week, I have seen some positive articles about the housing industry for Orlando. A lttle late as usual because housing prices have begun raising with new construction and in certain cities like Winter Park, Windermere and Oviedo. I told people that if they liked the price and could afford the property then they should have purchased. Why should they listen to a professional that has been in the business for a long, long time. Now they want last weeks price. Hopefully the world will stay stable for the summer. www.BuyOrlandoProperties.com … (0 comments)

orlando vacation and holiday homes: Real Estate Closings
- 05/27/08 06:26 AM
When I first began my Real Estate career 25 year ago I was told don't ever go to your closings because if there is a short fall they always want to grab the money from the realtors commissions for the difference. I didn't do that and I go to all my closings because I don't lie to my clients so there is never a problem. Everything is prepared in advance and I personally speak with title and closing agents just to make sure. I should be a closing agent, I always get these transactions closed. www.BuyOrlandoProperties.com … (0 comments)

- 05/21/08 12:22 AM
I was in Central America looking for the next opportunity. My contact did tell me movie stars were buying thousands and thousands of acres. Money is not an issue. Their kids and grand kids should do very well. I will be spending more time in these countries because I think there are still monies to be made there. I will find them for my clients and myself. Costa Rica is a 2 1/2 hour flight from Orlando just like Orlando to Detroit. This is a short trip. If anyone has any experience in these countries please let me know. www.Orlando-Homes-4-Sale.com

orlando vacation and holiday homes: Educating the Potential Clients that are on the Fence
- 05/20/08 03:29 PM
I know everyone has a backlog of clients that want to but have not commited to purchase that new property. They are waiting for the news media to say that this is the bottom. But that would be good news which is not good to report. Every week or two I send out some positive news or motivational information for these people. The news ranges from the interest rate moving lower, builders paying all closing costs, a bunch of sales in a community or a new home builder raising prices. Any information that keeps me in front of the client. One day … (1 comments)
orlando vacation and holiday homes: Client's mortgage Question / My Opinion
- 05/19/08 08:40 AM
My client just called to get my opinion about a mortgage. I told him I'm your REALTOR not a mortgage lender. He said thats OK he values my opinion. His question was that the mortgage broker was pushing a mortgage that is a 90 day adjustable based on foreign currencies. I said that I have zero knowledge about this but I can comment on what type of mortgages I get for myself and investment properties. I look for a 5 - 10 year mortgage fixed with no pre-payment penalities. If the rate goes down a point or more then I may … (1 comments)
