I was out on my morning walk and happened to pass by a house for sale, and my workout partner (not a real estate agent) pointed out that the house was brand new to the market. He plans on buying a house in the neighborhood where we walk sometime in the near future, so he really has a strong idea ...

If you are thinking about selling your home, you might want to take a lesson from the makers of the Yoshi Blade ceramic knife. For those few readers who were never touched by the Yoshi marketing steam roller, it is a simple, cheap ceramic knife that was mass-marketed through all the prime interne...

In my series of articles about new construction in Tallahassee, I plan on interviewing a Tallahassee home builder or two in order to get their view of the market and any good guidance that we can glean. Yesterday, I spoke with Lenny Brantley of Brantley Custom Homes who has been a custom home bui...

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post (featured on ActiveRain) titled Is Credit Repair For Homebuyers A Myth? which was the first in a sequence of posts that will serve as a case study about credit repair services.

Even when the internet blossomed full of property...

I was talking with an agent yesterday about a counter-offer he received, and he was scratching his head wondering what the home seller was thinking. Now I've seen this sort of thing for more than 20 years in the Tallahassee real estate market, but I still lack the words to explain to an agent why...

Now that the housing market is showing signs of recovery in most regions of the US, I expect we'll see higher activity among people seeking to get a Florida real estate license. I'll be the first to admit that it takes very little to become licensed to sell every type of real estate in Florida, b...

"Joe, I want to sell a house, what do I need to do?" Home seller questions are common for me these days, and they are also favored (after all, that what we do here at Century 21 Manausa and Associates, we sell houses :)) I often use analogy to explain things to people who are getting ready to sel...

I'm meeting with a long time friend today to discuss his desire to build in a certain NE Tallahassee neighborhood. For any long-time readers of the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, you know that I have reported about the large new construction premium you must pay in this buyer's market, and how I s...

One question we get from out of town homebuyers quite often relates to the calculation of property taxes in Tallahassee and Leon County, Florida. Everybody knows that part of being a homeowner includes having to carry your share of the local property tax which supports the city, county, and other...
