First time buyers are the funnest, and the most challenging clients I've ever worked with!! Never a dull moment. They are smart, they're internet savvy, they have already looked at a LOT of houses on Realtor.com and other sites and they are READY TO GO! Are you ready to help them?

I think that Hannah, Ike and Josephine all are unwelcome guests for Florida residents! Not to be rude, but they are not welcome here. We are bracing for whatever Mother Nature brings us. I have tried to schedule Open Houses for the past 2 weekends with no luck. When the wind is howling at 40+ mph, it's hard to imagine any "lookers" out … (0 comments)
Be careful what you wish for! I predict that we're going to have an amazing number of first time buyers entering this market in the next 2 weeks! Are you prepared?
