Buyers Determine The Selling Price - Real Estate

http://javiernb.blogspot.com/2013/01/buyers-determine-selling-price.html

Buyers Determine The Selling Price. House prices really are like the prices in the stock market, you pay the going rate when you buy in and sell at the going rate when you leave. But with real estate home prices, sellers always think they control the selling price, but it's the buyers who have the cash and they call the price. But how do we tell a stubborn seller that his “have to get” price is too high? If weeks go by with no offers, continue to check out the competition. What have comparable homes ...

Sellers, It's Your Front Door! - Real Estate

http://javiernb.blogspot.com/2013/02/sellers-it-your-front-door.html

Sellers, Its Your Front Door! The real estate market is coming back—over the last week or so I have probably been in and out of 25 homes with several groups of buyers, and I must say, today’s sellers are neither very tidy nor all that conscious of the “first impression” that we all talk about. Customers actually say, “I hope it’s nicer inside than this.”. Or, “looks like they didn’t take care of this one.”. For hundreds of years colonists, architects and builders have spent time on their front entrances,...

It's a Seller's Market! - Real Estate

http://javiernb.blogspot.com/2013/02/it-seller-market.html

Its a Sellers Market! As I write this, I am surrounded with this week’s newspaper real estate sections. The headlines call out the fact that home sales are up, home prices are up, and home inventories are down. Why just this morning I showed a home to some buyers who early in the week had found 5 homes they wanted to see, but by this morning, two of the five were under agreement and so not able to be seen. Property is moving again! But with inventories down and prices up, sellers are ending the costly in...

Investing in A Home - Real Estate

http://javiernb.blogspot.com/2013/02/investing-in-home.html

Investing in A Home. Buying a home is usually the largest expenditure (or shall we call it an investment) any of us ever makes. Spending that kind of money almost always comes with second thoughts, particularly if it’s your first home. And there are some hazards of home buying that are totally unavoidable. I always try to help buyers with their concerns. I would guess that the average agent holds the hand of a buyer maybe hundreds of times throughout their career. Do they want to walk to shopping. W ...

Real Estate Edge: April 2014

http://reedge.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 27, 2014. 8220;How could I owe the association $10,000 in back assessments, I just bought the property at a foreclosure sale free and clear last week? Those fees are the responsibility of the prior owner, not me! It is no wonder that purchasers of foreclosure properties in Florida frequently have questions about whether they are liable for past due homeowners or condominium assessments after purchasing property at a foreclosure sale. Condominium association liens in Florida are governed by ...

Real Estate Edge: January 2014

http://reedge.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 25, 2014. Can't Get to the Beach? I’m not with the Chamber of Commerce, but I do feel guilty when people come to Florida to get away from the cold at home and well, it’s cold here. Not like “up north” cold, but cold nonetheless. You can tell the folks I mean when you stop in at Publix or Wal-Mart and see them in their flip flops and shorts when it’s 42 outside. (Up home it may be 9 below…but still.). Be serious about your. You probably don't want to spend any more time than necessary ou...

Real Estate Edge: March 2014

http://reedge.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 29, 2014. Richey Rich Orders a Home. Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early…unless you were born rich. It is very difficult to understand… - F. Scott Fitzgerald. I must say I have ever only sold a couple of $1 million plus properties. But I thought it might be amusing to discuss what the very rich look for in a home. But the wealthy can specify the quality of the water-frontage. Privacy is a big request, but by privacy they do...

Real Estate Edge: February 2014

http://reedge.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 27, 2014. Buy a House With No Down Payment. I’ve had clients tell me they were ready to buy a house—but then qualify that by saying, just as soon as they get a big load of cash from an insurance suit they have lodged. So I really can’t take them as seriously as I would like. Because who can say what the outcome of an insurance suit will be and when it might happen, if ever. In an effort to assist low- to moderate-income individuals achieve homeownership, the Florida First Time Home Buy...

Real Estate Edge: November 2013

http://reedge.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 25, 2013. All the Realtors I talk to- myself included- are pretty happy with the general look of the real estate market right now. We’re in a completely different position than this time last year, with solid price increases, steady inventory and a building demand as we move into our “season”. So 2014- bring it on! Saturday, November 16, 2013. Squatters are in the news again. The term we use in the business is "adverse possession", meaning taking possession of a property without the righ...
