As an active realtor in Miami, Florida/ I always find it interesting to see a bank owned property sell and then check it out after the buyer renovates it to Flip and it comes back on the market.   I showed a flip this week 3 times to different buyers and each one of my clients noticed the same mediocre finishes like hollow doors, uninspired closets, poor quality kitchen cabinets and lack luster light fixtures in the bathrooms and other lighting.   Some buyers with cash, like the one who purchased this property and beat out all the other offers, paid $1000 over the asking price ($1,050,000) for this REO property are self proclaimed flippers.  They don't do this for a living but get involved if they have some dough and think it is an easy way to make a quick profit.   I guess it is if th...

Marvelous Monday! This will be a quick photo comparison post. It shows two pictures taken from two different perspectives. It is a table setting, not a house, but the concept is clearly demonstrated. It's all about angles and distance from your subject. In September, I was in Miami working on the sale of my father-in-laws house. After a very long, hot, rainy day, I finally got to dinner around 8:30pm. I was dining alone at a very eclectic cafe, The Peacock Garden Cafe, next to my hotel in Coconut Grove. By the way, if you are in the area, this is an excellent spot for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch. In this first shot, I was intrigued by the placement of the wine bottle next to the glass, the various shades of pink and the peacefulness of the setting so I snapped a picture.   After look...

www.OnePlaceOpenHouse.comBy Fidelio OroscoWhen talking about the real estate market, one of the most common terms that we often hear from people is listed price. There are a lot of people who are using this term, but most of them don't actually know the real meaning of listed price.

In order to help you avoid such problems, this article will be showing you the things that you need to know about listed price, and the reasons why it is very important when it comes to real estate transactions. Listed price is actually not more than an invitation for someone to make an offer. For example, if you are going to place your real estate property listed for sale, you are simply inviting people...

President's Weekend in Miami is one of the most exciting long weekends of the year. The 71st Miami Boat Show is in town with venues all over the waterfront. One of the best events though for me anyway is the Coconut Grove Art Festival. Set along the bayside community of Coconut Grove just south of downtown Miami. Over a mile of main street is closed and packed full of juried art. This show is billed as the largest outdoor art festival in the nation. There is food galore from the basics to seafood ceviche and Arepas. There is also music playing at different park sites along the way. This event has steadily grown every year and draws hundreds of thousands of people. I remember my first one back in 1977 and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Art, music, food, 80 degree temps (in Feb)...

www.MiamiFreeHomeInfo.comBy Dennis Yen Today's news really gives us mixed signals about the real estate market. Some say real estate is flourishing and some say that it continues decline. The fact of the matter is that there are quite a few angles from which you can view the real estate market. It isn't simply prices and loan rates, as most people like to report. It's much deeper than that. One important angle, and the focus of this article, is that real estate ought to be looked at through a regional perspective. Even in a city, each neighborhood has its own characteristics. Some neighborhoods have families that have lived in their homes for more than 20 years, other neighborhoods have homes that are owned by investors, others have young families just moving in... you get the picture. ...
