Pompano Beach is characterized by a mixture of old and newer developments which tends to turn off many luxury waterfront buyers. Some homogeneous areas offer opportunities in the $750k to $3.5m for canal or Intracoastal homes. Oceanfront residences are typically priced in the $2m to $10m range. Luxury waterfront condos include Claridge, Luna Ocean Residences, Riverside Grande, and Sonata Beach Club. Typical prices are in the $600k to $1m.

Like with any appliance, there are several things that can go wrong with a clothes dryer; however, most problems are fixed with simple maintenance.  The most important thing your dryer needs in order to operate is air-flow.  Think about it; the heat and moisture from your wet laundry has to go somewhere in order for the load to come out dry.  If there is a blockage in the dryer vent system the heat and moisture are trapped in the drum or somewhere in the exhaust duct.   There are several things you can do to properly maintain your clothes dryer.  Obviously, keeping the lint screen clean is one of them.  The lint screen should be cleaned after every load of laundry.  Fabric softeners and dryer sheets can cause a residue to build up over time; the lint screen should be cleaned with hot, s...

With somethings you never know what you had until they are gone. This is sort of like that, but better! When you make the same drive in your community repeatedly the road becomes a permenant fixture in your head. Then one day someone starts to do the dreaded... ROAD WORK! Of course that seems to last for months, and often does. Then... One day... THE ROAD WORK IS OVER! THERE IS BIG BEAUTIFUL NEW ROAD WHERE THE OLD ROAD WAS NOW! That's how I have been feeling for about a week now. Everytime I leave my office, next to Palm-Aire, it's like a driver's dream come true.   In other news I listed a fantastic 3 bedroom 3 bathroom corner villa in Misty Oaks this morning. It has these huge vaulted ceilings with skylights that really make the property worthwhile. I will post more information about ...

Thanks to our local District 5 politician, George Brummer, Palm-Aire Country Club has been awarded with a city park that could cost upwards of 1 million dollars. Of the 44 parks and recreations centers in Greater Pompano Beach, yet only 4 are found west of I-95. However that number is going to be changing after the Pompano Beach City Commission very recently agreed to begin planning a 5 acre city park right in the center of Palm-Aire. With approximately 15,000 residents, Palm-Aire houses almost one-third of the city's population (and voters) so I think we are entitled to the benefits of a city park. The city is spending $750,000 to buy the 5 acres of ruined tennis courts (thanks to Hurricane Wilma) and intends to revamp the property with new tennis and handball courts as well as either ...

Things have really changed around my office in the past 60 days. Sales are brisk and it seems that we are making multiple offers just about every day. A lot of buyers are coming out of the woodwork to start buying while the prices are so low. It is sort of a no-brainer when you can buy a 1600 sqft 3 bed 2 bath condo for $105,000!  We have selling villas for $220,000 & $250,000 and I just sold a completely remodeled 2 bed 2 bath highrise condo for $132,500. I am proud to announce that we also have two new top-producers to our office, David Koenig and Alexia Garcia. Both with long histories of sales in South Florida. They both joined on a little over a week ago and have already written several sales contracts. They really hit the ground running and I think they are going to really grow th...

Did you know that the Broward County Youth Fair is opened and hopping? Well if you didn't, you know now. So what are you waiting for? Get going and get to having fun. I know this year I will be making it out this year. The kids know and undersand fairs, so this will be extra fun! Themed Catch a Ride, the 33rd annual fair runs through Nov. 30 at Fort Lauderdale Stadium. Along with traditional festival fare of corn dogs, cotton candy and funnel cake, organizers have added what could become a staple of the fair diet: chocolate-covered fruits. So if you make it to the fair stop by and leave some pictures. Would love to see them! Have fun!!

What are you doing with people who have stated income? How are you dealing with customers who have cash, however, they want a small mortgage with 2/3's cash and wish to mortgage a small portion of the purchase price with stated income? I have a deal pending on a loan approval with a customer as above...Credit score is close to 700...It's been hit by several lenders ...used to be around 720....knocked down by a few lenders. This person owns several properties that are rentals, small mortgages, great choices when they were purchased.  Even in this market, they are holding their own. This mortgage will be paid off after the sale of their condo (views below), which I have listed at $150K less ( @$525,000.00  )than recent sales and current listings.  This is the model for the condo unit and ...

Hello, I have been absent from my blog these past few summer months. Many things have happened since my last post. The most important and consuming is that I got married on July 20th. As you might imagine I was a basket case for the few weeks prior to the big day. There was a lot of planning, coordinating, etc. to be taken care of, especially in the case of a destination wedding. My wife, Lindsey, and I were wed in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A few days after the wedding we left for our Honeymoon in Thailand. Now I could dedicate a whole blog to that trip and the splendors of Thailand but I will not. Let's just say that it is a truly beautiful place. The sights, the people, and the food are all phenomenal. (The shopping is pretty good too!) We got back in mid-August and promptly moved in toge...

  Memories!!!! Spending the past couple of days in Pompano Bch FL with just my six month old baby girl was the best getaway I’ve ever had.  Better than my romantic honeymoon in Jamaica or my adventures in Santa Fe, NM.  Why? Because the MEMORIES of taking a nap at the beach or splashing in the pool weren’t captured by pictures but the impressions they’ve made on the rest of our lives is priceless.

Today a I received a call inquiring about the Pompano Beach Ocean front condo market. After taking the time to create a summary for the prospect I thought I would share it on the Internet for other prospective buyers. In fact, I think this may become a regular report that we create monthly. Please let us know if you have suggestions to make this report more informative. There are currently 271 Pompano Beach Ocean Front condos active on the market (data from the Fort Lauderdale MLS). On average these properties have 2500 square feet, with an average of $365 per square foot and have been on the market for 146 days. Since the first of the year there have been 56 Pompano Beach oceanfront condos sold. With an average list price of $434 per square foot and an average selling price of $297 per...
