JUST APPROVED!  5890 NW Files Court, Port St Lucie, FL 34986  Vacant Lot $10,000.  Listed: 06/07/2012  Closing: 07/17/2012.  Another SUCCESSFUL SHORT SALE by Kevin B Tolbert, PA of Keller Williams Realty of Port St Lucie. This lot was listed for 3 years with another Realtor and never got approved! I finally was handed the deal by a fellow realtor in my office and I went to work on June 8th, 2012. First, I submitted a complete short sale file to Bank of America and included latest comparables thru equator. Next, BofA calls for a BPO and then they start SHORT SALE negotiations.  The latest sales in within 3 miles of subject were $6500, $6500, $10,000, and $12,000 all in the last 90 days. The offer was for $10,000 which we believe actually more than fair market. The bank calls and says gre...

About Oct 2011, we started feeding 2 Sandhill Cranes and around January, only the male started coming around and we thought the worst as some do get killed by cars around here. And knowing that these creatures mate for life, we kept feeding "Charlie" knowing he would not mate again. Little did we know until today, "Charlie" was anything but single. Here is what "Charlie" brought us this morning for Father's Day! Made us feel like proud parents also as we have been taking care of Dad for 8 months and now he brings the family home to meet the parents. What a great start to the day! Happy Father's Day to all!

On this Father's Day, 2012, it has been 12 long years since my granddaddy went home to Our Lord and I can hear him everyday in my daily life. I hear him saying " "you get that education" and you will make granddaddy proud!"  "You will be the first one in our family to go to college and make something of yourself." My grandfather was an 8th grade educated man, but he made it his life project to make sure I would be better.  He never knew that would never happen as he was the greatest, kindest, gentlest man that ever walked this earth. I remember growing up and starting fishing with him in a 14 ft Starcraft Vbottom boat with a 9.9 hp johnson motor. People used to tease him when we went out as he had pole holders down both sides of the boat and we would hang out 6 cane poles with live bait...

Docusign asked us this month to talk about how our Real Estate business has changed over the years so here we go... I have only been in real estate since 1997, but back then I remember having a 3 ring binder with all the listings in it that we carried around when out of the office. Then in 2004, our MLS brought out a program called Wyldfyre and it allowed us to connect to the MLS nightly and download all the listings on the MLS into our laptop so that we would have listings on the fly when not in the office. I remember back then, we would drive around our area and document HOT ZONES in front of businesses or homes all over our market before the days of SECURED CONNECTIONS so that we would have internet when needed on the fly. Then in June 2007, my friend in Real estate who always had to...

This are changing even in our LUXURY MARKET and these charts that follow will show it.  We have falling inventory and slowly rising prices and our absorbsion rate continues to improve which should continue to allow prices to rise.   Inventory Supply Chart For the Period — Jan 1, 2012 to Apr 30, 2012 Jan-12Feb-12Mar-12Apr-12 # Months Inventory 13.67 13.9 9.13 11.08 # Active Listings 123 139 146 144 # Sold Listings 9 10 16 13 Absorption Rate 9 10 16 13   One very interesting point to note is that in most areas of Port St Lucie where prices are rising as much as 90% since the first of the year, you are having to pay above LISTING PRICE in order to purchase, but in our LUXURY MARKET, there still appears to be a little negotiation to the prices. This could mean that at least for a short peri...
