"I'm Mayhem, and I'm Your Worst Nightmare!"

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:38:36 -0800

This is a great post by Julia Vigneron Maher of Nestings Home Staging, to remind and inform all sellers that this could happen and we can take steps to avoid this issue. Please post any comments to Julia's original post. Thanks. "I'm Mayhem, and I'm Your Worst Nightmare!" I like small children. I surf the internet looking for them. I don't have to bother with social networking sites. I can use the MLS. I know if it's a boy or a girl. I know approximately how old they are. I know their address. I KNOW THEIR NAME!!! I know they might respond to me if I call them by their name. I'm Mayhem, and I'm your worst nightmare! Parents, if your house is for sale, PLEASE remove any and all references to specific information regarding your children. This may include name banners, awards, certificates, report cards, signs, etc. Don't give Mayhem a chance with with your children! Real Estate Agents: Please encourage your listing clients to remove name signs such as the one above. While charming, they could put a child at risk. If the client won't comply, refrain from posting such photos. This is one important piece of advice I give all my Connecticut Home Staging clients, and one that I would think all agents would too. However, every day I see new listings posted on the MLS with this kind of blatant "invitation". Let's keep the children's safety in mind!

Abacoa in Jupiter consists of many subdivisions: Antigua, Cambridge, Canterbury Place, Greenwich, Mallory Creek, Martinique, New Haven, Osceola Woods, San Palermo, Somerset, The Islands, Tuscany, Valencia, and Town Center. You can search all available homes in Abacoa by the above subdivision in our Community Reviews.Abacoa is a 2,055 acre, master planned mixed-use community designed around the concepts and principles of Traditional Neighborhood Development. The masterplan resembles a patchwork quilt: a collection of different patterns that come together in a cohesive and unified whole. In this richly textured community. One finds seamless transitions between residential and non-residential zones, education sites and recreation areas. Additionally this is the home of Scripps Research. Abacoa is a place where people can live and work and go to school. Here are neighborhoods that can accommodate people of all ages and income levels, and houses that will function the way that people do today, yet bringing back into play the ideas of the traditional, neighborly community from America's past- front porches, alley access garages, central community greens and community buildings for neighborly get-togethers. All neighborhoods are located within walking distance of many of the shops and services which are helpful to have close by.Weaving through the Abacoa neighborhoods are the Greenways. These areas of preserved, natural Florida ecosystems are enhanced to provide habitat for wildlife. In particular, the endangered Florida Gopher Tortoise makes the Greenways home. The Greenways also provide storm water management for the entire community of Abacoa. Although these are the primary purposes, the Greenways also provide people opportunities to enjoy and study natural Florida without leaving their own backyards. For additional information on the Abacoa Greenway, you are invited to view an informational flyer that includes background information and even a map!Abacoa's retail and commercial districts mirror the way that most people conduct their lives, a balance of work, shopping, leisure and home life. If neighborhoods are the soul of Abacoa, the Town Center is its heart. Here will be the old fashioned Main Street setting in all its pedestrian-friendly, eclectic glory. Restaurants, offices and neighborhood - scale stores mix easily with the university campuses, the stadium and even the golf course just a block away. The pulse of the Town Center will be the rhythm of daily life, with parents running errands and kids meeting their friends with all the resources of a community within easy reach.Roger Dean Stadium brings baseball into the center of Abacoa, hosting spring training for the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals, as well as the Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals minor league baseball teams. The stadium blends into the community, hosting and participating in community events and activities. The community commercial centers are situated near Abacoa's main entrances, providing plaza-style shopping with larger stores.The workplace campus holds the potential for bringing an economic base right into the Abacoa community, but without compromising the integrity of Abacoa's design. Buildings will be situated on a tree-lined street, with sidewalks on both sides, and parking in the back.More than simply an amenity, the Abacoa Golf Club is intended to be a community resource, an asset that can be shared. The golf course makes what is essentially open space more accessible; it is a public course, with no membership requirements. At the same time the course is designed to be of championship caliber, thus bringing challenge to the play and satisfaction to the game. Whether birdie or bogey, golf at the Abacoa Golf Club follows the course of the game, which is to make it an integral part of its surroundings. The 18-hole championship golf course, designed by renowned golf course architect Joe Lee, opened in October of 1999. Lush, rolling fairways weave throughout undulated landscape, which is surrounded by serene lakes and native vegetation. A design characteristic setting Abacoa Golf Club apart from so many other South Florida golf courses is its flowing elevation changes. Some elevation features may vary from 30 to 40 ft., which offer scenic views while creating exciting golf shots. In typical Joe Lee style, the course's lakes and bunkers meet its sloping fairways with little obstruction, offering a course that is both challenging but fair to golfers of all playing abilities. Abacoa features Tif Eagle grass greens producing the highest quality putting surfaces in the south, year round.Two contiguous college campuses are across the street from the stadium and Town Center, placing the benefits of a college-town environment practically at the doorsteps of Abacoa residents. The campuses are home to the Northern Palm Beach branch campus of Florida Atlantic University and the Honors College. The two provide a unique mix - the considerable programmatic and research opportunities of a state university system at the branch campus, coupled with the intimate and in-depth learning environment of the Honors College. The Honors College is built around the traditions of the classic American liberal arts education. Enrollment will be limited to approximately 500 top scholars, while creative learning opportunities will know virtually no limits. Cross-disciplinary and customized courses of study, plus one-on-one student- faculty interaction, will be key elements of the Honors College experience.Northern Palm Beach Campus offers continuing education classes in career skills and personal enrichment, as well as bachelor's degrees for those completing the last two years of their baccalaureate program, master's and certain doctoral degrees. Beacon Cove Intermediate School-Bessie Dubois Campus and Independence Middle School are both newly constructed schools located in Abacoa, with bicycle and pedestrian paths connecting them to all Abacoa neighborhoods.Two existing schools are located adjacent to the Abacoa property, Lighthouse Elementary and Jupiter Middle schools. The W.T. Dwyer High School and Jupiter High School are situated nearby on Military Trail. All schools are part of the Palm Beach County School District.

REALTOR Etiquette Tip of the Day: Showing Feedback: Give Some!

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:16:43 -0800

I think this is a good reminder to all of us to take a minute to give some feedback to the selling agent. This was posted by Chris Hardy from ft. Collins Colorado. Please post comments to his original post. This is one of the most overlooked courtesies in our business! Every day, thousands of homes are shown all across America. The Seller knows a showing has been set. The listing agent surely knows a showing has been set. Both wait anxiously for word from the showing agent. And they wait. And they wait. The Seller calls the Listing Agent immediately after the showing and says “Have you heard anything yet?” The Listing Agent says not to expect to hear anything at the earliest before the next morning. The Seller still calls before the end of the day and asks the Listing Agent if they’ve heard anything. The Listing Agent, trying not to sound annoyed says “Haven’t heard anything yet – I’ll be sure to let you know as soon as I know anything new.” Meanwhile, the Showing Agent, after showing 17 properties, a city tour, lunch, and a cacophony of noise and smells from his back seat is spent. The last thing anyone wants to do at the end of a tough day of showing property is go back through the list of properties and send feedback on how the showing went. It is all a matter of perspective. The Seller sees the showing as one of the single most important events of the day (since they had to leave the house for it to be shown). The Listing Agent is anxious to provide news - ANY news - to the Seller. The Showing Agent is likely either writing an offer on one of the properties they saw that day or half-way through the first bottle of wine to numb the drudgery of finding another 17 properties to show this discriminating consumer because none of those seen so far have “worked”. Early on in my career, Linda Norton (a top producing, high volume agent specializing in affordable housing who passed away several years ago) made an incredible impression on me when I had my first listing. She would call, yes, call (after all, this was 2003) and provide verbal feedback on the houses she showed. It wasn’t just a mindless checklist of cosmetic issues and thumbs up or down on pricing. It was solid feedback on whether the floor plan was problematic, did the staging work, curb appeal, did the house smell, and whether you’re in the ballpark on price or might want to tweak it up or down (yes, UP! She was AWESOME). It was actually great info from a recognized expert. Armed with this feedback I could proudly go to the Seller and let them know what we needed to work on to improve the positioning of this property in the market. It made me look good. It made the Seller feel like they had some control, and it sure didn’t hurt Linda’s relationship with me in the event she came back later with an offer. So here’s my 2-cents: 1. Always give showing feedback. 2. Provide it as soon as you possibly can. 3. Give the kind of feedback that you’d want to receive if it were your listing. Don’t rely on a meaningless checklist. 4. Be constructively critical AND complimentary of the property but NEVER be judgmental (yes, there’s a difference between being critical and being judgmental). 5. If you’re the listing agent, deliver the feedback to your Seller in person or via voice. DO NOT simply forward the feedback email or voicemail from the Showing Agent. This has proven disastrous in so many cases, I’ve lost count. Courtesy is the highest form of demonstrating respect and building strong relationships. Providing meaningful showing feedback is a key component to building great relationships with the cooperative brokers in your community and will be greatly appreciated and hopefully reciprocated!Malinda Montgomery -RSPS AHWD Realtor Cell 386-290-0095 MalindaRealtor@gmail.com www.malindamontgomery.adamscameron.com http://activerain.com/blogs/m4singer Adams Cameron & Company 1100 Dunlawton Ave. Port Orange, Florida 32127 Office: 386-761-6100

Will it Freeze in South Florida Tonight?

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:30:10 -0800

Will it Freeze in South Florida Tonight? The weatherman is calling for a hard freeze for Florida tonight. Well, I don't know about "hard" freeze but, it is cold here today. South Florida is known for it's beautiful temperatures in the winter but we get that occassional cold front during the winter months, that dips down into the state and it can get very cold. With our humidity, it feels colder than it really is. Then add the wind thats blowing and it is cold. As I look out the window it is like a picture postcard of beauty and warmth, blue green ocean, clear blue sky and the sun is shining for miles, but I'll keep the windows closed for a few days....:) It is 49 degrees in West Palm Beach and Singer Island right now at 3:00pm in the afternoon . So hang in there tourists, seasonal residents and locals, it won't last long and we will be on our way back to the lovely temperatures that make South Florida the best place to be.Malinda Montgomery -RSPS AHWD Realtor Cell 386-290-0095 MalindaRealtor@gmail.com www.malindamontgomery.adamscameron.com http://activerain.com/blogs/m4singer Adams Cameron & Company 1100 Dunlawton Ave. Port Orange, Florida 32127 Office: 386-761-6100

Home Seller Tip–Minimize Exposure to Loss When Selling

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 01:42:41 -0800

This is a great home seller tips blog posted by Gary Walters of Century 21 in Rockleadge, Florida. Especially the tip from a childs perspective. We as adults may not think of that. Please comment to Gary's original blog.I am not referring to loss on the sale price of your home but rather, I am talking about minimizing the chance someone may get injured while viewing your home for sale in Brevard County, Florida (or any other place!). Before you list your home for sale take a good look around your house from a child's perspective. Even if you have no children think about potential buyers who do have children accompanying them as they view homes. And, although I am no lawyer, you do not want to have something happen to anyone on your property - selling or not! Do not leave toxic within reach of small hands. I know you are thinking that the children should be under control at all times but I have witnessed it – they aren’t always! If you have firearms, secure them with some sort of locking device or better yet, remove them. I can recall the times I have shown homes and seen rifles propped against the wall in a closet or under the bed. I don’t know if they were loaded but still, why have them there? And think about your furniture layout and lighting. Maybe you should leave more lights on? And think about the calm dog of yours who is friendly and only barks! And do not forget about the exterior...any holes or low areas in the lawn? What about the garden hose on the ground? Risk reduction and management is a key component of any business. Selling your home is a business transaction you are part of. I have heard many times "It is not if you will get sued but when!" Protect yourself by managing risk exposure. Sure, they may sue your real estate agent but they may sue you as well... besides no one needs to get injured when it is preventable! Gary L.

Jupiter Island, Florida-Luxury Community

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:45:52 -0800

Jupiter Island, Florida-Luxury Community Jupiter Island, FL Virtual Tour Reputed as the richest town in America by Worth Magazine for the third consecutive year, Jupiter Island ranks highest out of 250 richest towns. These ultra glamorous homes, owned by an exclusive cast of residents, range in price from $1,400,000 to over $22,000,000. With a population of less than 1,000, most of whom are seasonal residents, this 3.5 square mile Island is a popular retreat for the ultimate in privacy. Jupiter Island is part of a chain of barrier islands that stretch from Key West, reaching as far north as New York. The 17-mile long island is 25 miles north of Palm Beach and 10 miles south of Stuart. It was first recorded by Europeans as part of land grant from the king of Spain in 1815. In the early 1900's much of the land was sold to a British land development that subsequently went bankrupt in the 1920's. The company's holdings were then acquired by a group of friends who enjoyed staying at a small hotel on the island and had a vision of conserving its natural beauty. Today, much of the island is in the hands of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Audubon Society, and the Nature Conservancy. Well known as an exclusive enclave for prominent families seeking privacy, Jupiter Island also offers excellent private schools, superb shopping and close proximity to fine restaurants in Palm Beach and Martin counties. Jonathan Dickson State Park and Hobe Sound Wildlife Refuge are minutes away. Worth magazine has ranked this quiet island town (population 601) for the third year in a row as "The Wealthiest Town in America", based on real estate prices. Jupiter Inlet Colony, FL is a beautiful town located on the Atlantic Ocean. Located at the southernmost tip of Jupiter Island, there are few places like it. Jupiter Inlet Colony consists of a small secluded community of homes all with quaint walking paths to the blue waters of one of the most beautiful beaches in South Florida. The main community "Jupiter Inlet Beach Colony" sits in between the Atlantic Ocean, the intracoastal and the Jupiter Inlet. All homes in Jupiter Inlet Colony are a short walk to the beach and some sit directly on the ocean, intracoastal or the Jupiter Inlet.

Tequesta, Florida Overview

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 23:29:14 -0800

Tequesta, Florida Overview Tequesta, FL Virtual TourTequesta, FL Golf CoursesTequesta, FL MarinasTequesta, FL Dining Guide Tequesta's natural beauty and serenity of the river to the deep blue ocean, tempts people in search of a pleasant friendly environment. This village has a unique history around its founding. In 1955 a bridge tender was asked by Charles Martyn to describe the area that is now the Village of Tequesta. His reply was, "It’s just a jungle". Inspired by the remarks, Martyn asked for a tour of the area. As the two men traveled the Inlet and intracoastal waterways by boat, Martyn was immediately intrigued by the natural beauty and potential of the area. He bought 86 acres on Jupiter Island where he developed the Jupiter Inlet Colony. While excavating the site, Martyn's crew unearthed an Indian mound filled with artifacts. Martyn's interest in Indian history led him to research the mound's contents. Later speculation was that the mound belonged to an encampment of Tequesta Indians encroaching on the native Jega Indians. Martyn was convinced of this and named an area he was developing west of the intracoastal after the Tequesta tribe. That development, now know as the Tequesta Country Club, was later incorporated as the Village of Tequesta. Tequesta started as one man's vision and now has become a thriving village with miles of luxury waterfront property in a pristine environment. The town of Tequesta offers a wide mixture of family residential neighborhoods, condominiums and upscale waterfront homes. The Jupiter /Tequesta /Juno Beach area offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the year round mild weather and outdoor recreation. Area parks provide a wide range of services and facilities for outdoor activities, whether it’s relaxing on white sandy beaches, playing softball or baseball at one of the many lighted diamonds, enjoying tennis or golf or taking a scenic hike on one of the nearby nature trails. Surrounded by water, visitors to Tequesta enjoy diving in crystal clear waters, fishing, boating, swimming, water-skiing, sailing on a catamaran or paddling through a cypress forest. The Gulf Stream flows closest to the U.S. off the shores of Tequesta, and with its warm current, brings some of the best sport fishing in the world to the area. This region has endless opportunities for sightseeing, such as historic homesteads, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, art galleries, arts and crafts fairs, quaint shops and boutiques and regional shopping malls. Plus, the town of Tequesta is just 17 miles from the nightlife at West Palm Beach, Florida.Malinda Montgomery -RSPS AHWD Realtor Cell 386-290-0095 MalindaRealtor@gmail.com www.malindamontgomery.adamscameron.com http://activerain.com/blogs/m4singer Adams Cameron & Company 1100 Dunlawton Ave. Port Orange, Florida 32127 Office: 386-761-6100

Buyer Strategies On Singer Island-Palm Beach County

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 15:40:02 -0800

Buyer Strategies on Singer Island-Palm Beach County Nine Steps to Buying a Home Your Finances Need to be Organized Credit reports are an ongoing look at how you manage your finances. You must know exactly what your credit reports say about your financial history before you apply for a mortgage, because the reports play an important role in the mortgage approval process and in determining the interest rate and other loan terms that a lender offers you. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage Do you know how much house you can afford? Probably not, unless you've talked with a lender. Pre-approval helps you in other ways. Consider this scenario. A home seller gets two similar offers. One is accompanied by a letter from the buyer's bank that states she is pre-approved for a mortgage in the amount of the offer. The other has no supporting documents. Which offer do you think the seller will consider first? Determine What Type of Home You Are Looking For Buying a home isn't as difficult as you might think, even if you're short on funds, but the process will go a lot smoother if you get familiar with your real estate market and narrow down your wants and needs before you start looking at houses. Work with a Realtor who is Experienced in the Market of your Choice.Realtors represent buyers, sellers, or both--and in some states they can work as neutral facilitators for either party. It's essential to understand agent duties and loyalties before you make that first phone call. Start Your Search for a Home Your Realtor will give you multiple listing sheets to study. I'm sure you'll also pick up House for Sale magazines and read classified ads in your local newspapers. You'll probably spend time surfing the Internet for homes. You might even plan afternoon drives to preview neighborhoods. Those are all excellent ways to see what's available. Deciding whether or not you want to buy a house involves a look at its structure and its features, but there are many other topics that are every bit as important to your purchase. Write an Offer There's no one set of instructions that can cover all the differences in real estate laws and customs that exist throughout the United States, so the mechanics of making an offer and its specific contingencies depend greatly on your location. However, there are some home buying tips that can help you fine-tune your offer, no matter where you live. Begin the Inspection Process In some states, home inspections are accomplished before the final purchase contract is signed. In other states, inspections take place after an offer is finalized. No matter when you do them, it's critical to decide which inspections and tests you want to perform. Talk with your real estate agent or other advisor to find out when inspections should be handled and if additional types of testing are important for your specific area. Be Pro-active not Re-active As your closing date nears, everyone involved in your real estate transaction should check its progress on a daily basis, because staying on top of things means you'll know immediately if there's a problem that must be dealt with. Communication between all parties is the key. Congratulations You are Headed to Closing Most of your homes buying problems are behind you now and you're on your way to closing, also called settlement, the event that transfers ownership of the property to you.

Stop Boring Your Clients... and Make a Lasting Impression!

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 13:49:26 -0800

This is a great post written by Gail Robinson of Bridgeport CT. We are all more than just buyer, seller and realtor. We can learn something from everyone. Thanks Gail. Please comment to Gails original post. Do our clients hire us just for our professional expertise or are they placing their bets with a whole person? My belief is that if I only talk about real estate to my clients, I would be amazingly efficient (and could catch up on my filing), but I would FAIL. I'd fail to make a lasting impression, create bonds of loyalty, or even miss a potential friendship. YOUR CLIENT IS MORE THAN A BUYER OR A SELLER Your client is a whole person with a complex set of desires, hopes, dreams, and fears. That you already know, as sometimes, your clients tell you way too much about their marital problems, issues with their health, and other negative areas of their life. Much of our time is spent refocusing some clients back on real estate, because our business plan doesn't include providing psychotherapy. Other clients remain somewhat reserved and distant, making it hard to build the trust needed for a good partnership. By guiding the conversation to a part of their lives that is positive and that they care deeply about, we can avoid the problems of overengaging in personal issues or underengaging and being seen as bores. Outside of everyone's day job, nearly everyone has some kind of interest that they are passionate about. If you can find out what that interest is and make a connection, your clients will appreciate the effort you've made to know them as a whole person and look forward to seeing you again. I had one client who had spent a lifetime learning about and practicing gardening, another client was involved in monotype printmaking, and so on. In discussing these topics I learned about who they were on a whole new level and made a deeper connection. That connection allowed me to stay in touch with them and lead to referrals to new clients. YOU ARE MORE THAN A REAL ESTATE AGENT You are also whole person with a complex set of desires, hopes, dreams, and fears. Your clients don't want to go that deep into your personal psyche any more than you want to go there with them. Keep your deepest darkest secrets and fears to yourself. Instead, let your client know about your avocations and interests as they come up naturally in conversation. You don't have to say much about your interests for your client to form an impression of you as a more interesting person, who they would like to get to know further. If they ask questions, you can pursue the topic further. Never brag about your accomplishments with your avocations. You may have won awards, but bragging defeats your purpose? Your goal is to connect with your clients and just let them know there is more there than just a hard working, professional. There's a whole human being. My own avocation is running a grassroots environmental organization, which I founded 8 years ago. That raises a few eyebrows because real estate developers and environmental activists are often are at odds with one another. CULTIVATING RELATIONSHIPS The best gardens have a mixture of plants, not just one variety. They are also weeded, watered and fertilized. In the same way, your relationships with clients are cultivated by what you include and exclude in your conversations with them. Next time you are with your clients, try steering the conversation away from negative personal topics with grace and diplomacy, of course, and begin to find out what your clients are passionate about and give them a peek into your own passions. I'll bet you have a life that extends beyond your real estate profession and you don't have to give away the most personal details of your life to establish that connection.

Juno Beach, Florida Oceanfront Community

Juno Beach, Florida Oceanfront Community Juno Beach, FL CommunitiesJuno Beach, FL Virtual TourJuno Beach, FL Single Family HomesJuno Beach, FL Condos and TownhomesJuno Beach, FL Multi FamilyJuno Beach, FL Lot and LandJuno Beach, FL Dining Guide This quiet oceanfront community has a small-town atmosphere, and was the southern most terminuses of the four original stops of the Celestial Railroad. The other three stops included Jupiter, Mars and Venus. With a population of about 2,600, Juno Beach is tucked neatly between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, and is a favorite retirement, fishing and vacation retreat. In the winter months, the population almost triples because of the many amenities the community has to offer. Not to mention it is located a few minutes from Roger Dean Stadium, the home for spring training of the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals. Additionally, Juno features the new Juno Beach County Park with a new fishing pier, as well as the Loggerhead County Park, with an oceanfront nature trail, Marine Life Center, bike path, and tennis court. From May to September each year, guides from the Marine Life Center introduce newcomers to turtle watching as the sea turtles return to the beaches to lay their eggs. Juno is fast becoming a destination for year around residence and offers a small town atmosphere that is fast becoming extinct in South Florida.

North Palm Beach, Florida Overview-Boating Community

Malinda Montgomery RSPS AHWD TMS-Realtor (Gaffs Realty) — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:13:24 -0800

North Palm Beach, Florida Overview-Boating Community Incorporated in 1956, the city of North Palm Beach was awarded the Best Planned Community in the U.S. designation in 1957 by the National Association of Homebuilders. The village contains John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Beach State Park, which has 1.8 miles of beaches. North Palm Beach is known as a boating community, which testifies to its rather intricate network of canals and waterways. The Village is comprised of about 13,000 year round residents and an additional 5,000 seasonal residents arriving during the winter months. Approximately 40 to 45% of the housing stock is located on waterfront, canal front, or water access properties which lends to its reputation as a waterfront community.
