Understanding Appraisals: What You Need to Know   Appraisal is crucial in determining the final sale price when buying or selling a home. But what exactly is an appraisal, and how does it impact your transaction?What Is a Home Appraisal? A home appraisal is an unbiased, professional assessment of a property's value, conducted by a licensed appraiser. Mortgage lenders require appraisals when a buyer is financing a home to ensure its value aligns with the loan amount they approve. This protects both the buyer and the lender from overpaying for a home.Who Requests and Owns the Appraisal? Requested by: The buyer’s lender, as part of mortgage approval. Paid for by: The buyer (typically). Owned by: The lender, not the buyer or seller. However, buyers usually receive a copy. Seller Access: Se...

The spring season presents a unique opportunity for savvy first-time homebuyers to get ahead in the market. While many are waiting for rates to drop, those who act now can reap significant benefits.Recent market trends show that inventory levels and new listings have increased, offering first-time buyers a wider selection of homes. This temporary lull in competition means you have more negotiating power and time to find your perfect home without the pressure of bidding wars.By purchasing now, you're not just securing a home but making a wise investment. Even if current mortgage rates are slightly higher, you're locking in today's home prices before they potentially rise more. Remember, you can always refinance when rates decrease, but you can't go back in time to buy at today's prices.M...

I usually start planting and getting things spruced up around the house and office about the time of Good Friday. But this year I have been anticipating it seems like forever for spring to get here, so my team and I got started a little early, as in today. We have mowed, hedged and edged today. Next weekend we will be planting Crate Myrtles (6), along with a lot of begonias, tulips and assortments of bedding plants. While I am away this week they will pressure wash the building and add a fresh coat of paint. Then they will have the parking lot resurfaced. We will spend all weekend working, cleaning and shining everything in sight. My Team and I enjoy this tme of year. Every year in April we have our annual Spring Fling, where we set up yard sale booths around the office and the neighbor...

I am leaving for a cruise on Sunday and I found out just last night. We were informed at 8 pm on Thursday night that a couple we knew was not going to be able to take the cruise that we had given them for Christmas due to the daughter having her baby a month premature. It is too late for them to cancel so if we wanted to go we would have to be in Miami by 3 pm on Saturday. If not they would try to find someone else if that was alright. We figured we can take the cruise and replace the tickets for them at a later time. I told the wife that I had a lot to do today and it was probably impossible, but if I could finish by 5 today it was a go and we could leave out tomorrow. As I write this I am glad to say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Last night as we were preparing for bed, the wife wrote everyth...

The four states that led us into the market down turn are leading us into the upswing. The average sales across the country are up 6 1/2 % from November '08 through February '09. Florida which suffered a down turn of 18.2 %, in February  rebounded with 12.5 % increase. Some experts attribute this to lower interest rates and also the numbers of Distress Sales, Short Sales and Foreclosures. The Real Questions is why are  more buyers NOT taking advantage of these ideal conditions? The answer is FEAR! Turn on Radio or TV and what do you hear? Doom and Gloom....that is not to minimize current conditions but still if you have a job, pay stubs and decent credit you can get a loan.  There is money available from FHA ,VA Fanny Mae , Freddy.....and you do not have to put 20 % down. There are actu...

I have been putting together a list of places to market listings such as craigslist, realtor.com, homes.com. I am sure there are probably as many places as there agents. Please feel free to share these sites as well as how you write it up to get more google juice. I have tried ebay with very little success and realtor.com is getting to the point of pricing themselves out of the market. Feel free to link back to any past post you have done on te subject, who knows maybe there are some out there that know as little as I know about these sites. I want to thank all in advance for participating.

Every lender is different, but I have found that you have to get to the loss mitigation dept. and you have to stay on top of them to the point of calling sometimes as much as 15 times a day. Get your offer to the board as quickly as possible because they will ultimately make the decision no matter what you've been told. It has to go to the board and most boards meet every thirty days and go over short sales for the past thirty days, then make the decisions to accept, turn down or put on hold. Here is how I package a deal, hope it helps. I try to get as much out of the way as possible. I include a hardship letter from the sellers and it has to be hard, not just that the market is bad (boo hoo) if that is all you've got forget it. It has to be a Job loss, medical crisis, something that me...

Blowing Bubbles.....you must remember doing that as a kid?.....no one does that any more, right? Wrong! My friend and ex - Real Estate client, Anne-Marie, is the last of the good time bubble blowers. Our relationship started when I went to work at Keller Williams. Anne-Marie was the MCA...suffice to say she is the one that wrote the checks which says more than bookkeeper or office manager ...much more... She is a meticulous woman who wants all the i's dotted and heaven forbid you forget to cross those t's...but there is this other side that smacks right in the face of any stereotype you ever, ever had of a professional number cruncher. To say she is religious sounds so stuffy but religious she is. She is one of those cradle Catholics while I am a johnny come lately to the faith,so our p...

Imagine hands across America with each person holding onto  one another with honesty and integrity.  People of America that is not an imagination.  We as a group, however small, can make a difference in stimulating our local communities.  Take Danny Cottrell, for an example.  Mr. Cottrell is a pharmacist in a Brewton, Alabama.  One day, a few weeks ago, he called in his employees for a meeting.  You can imagine how they each thought they were probably going to lose their job.   (Brewton ,Alabama is a small town.)  If only we could have seen their faces when Mr. Cottrell handed each of his full time employees $700.00 and $300.00 to his part time employees all in $2.00 bills which was a total of $16,000.  He asked them to give 15% to charity and to spend the remaining money in their small...

Realtor, that's right. I was interviewing a well known Pensacola Attorney today for an upcoming article and the subject turned to Real Estate. He also holds a Real Estate Licenses as well and we got to talking about our different professions. One of the questions I ask him was why he wanted to be an attorney (as most of you know I have a real dislike for attorneys and politcians) and he said hehad started out defending what he called the defensless and people that couldn't afford an attorney. Of course that only lasted for a year because there was no money in it. But this led to his asking why I wanted to be a Realtor. Now don't get me wrong it is about the money and I want to make lots of it. But he knew me from way back and knew that wasn't the only thing, I didn't finish law school b...
