Continued From I Refuse to Become Bitter - A Mini Series of The Daily Life of a Realtor: Part One Who makes the real estate market? Buyers and Sellers. Do buyers and sellers mark a stance in the real estate industry as well? Of course they do! Without them, there would be no industry, no market, no foundation to build houses and homes, no real estate agents, or home loans. But, what about buyers and sellers? Have we forgotten that it is all about them? Putting our fiduciary duties to practice? What about the silent screams from victimized homebuyers and homeowners that permeate through massive stacks of real estate loan contracts piled up on someones desk at a bank or lending institution awaiting foreclosure or their loans modified? These loans are documents that echo the frustrations f...

The State of Florida Mortgage Frauds on the Rise: Fraudulent Loan Modification Companies Florida mortgage frauds are an epidemic and are on the rise while vulnerable homeowner's that are being subjugated by up front fees are increasing in numbers as loan modification companies are making false statements and services for services not yet completed. The State of Florida was ranked #2 in foreclosures with 245,000 foreclosed homes in 2007 alone while it was ranked the highest in mortgage fraud. In the meantime, unscrupulous scam artists encumbered vulnerable homeowners into deceptive ‘foreclosure avoidance' by charging illegal up front fees, an act punishable by law according to Florida Statutes s.501.1377. More than *50% of homeowner's who are or think they will be behind on their mortgag...

One of the biggest complaints of buyers and sellers in the real estate business is that their Realtor (or their Realtor's) does not communicate with them enough, an attribute that Realtor's should acquire from day one of setting foot in the business. In essence, some Realtor's have become desolately bitter from the business. Regardless of the circumstances of today's uncertain real estate market and saga, maybe it is time to quit or, go with the flow. Uncertainties does not make or break an industry or a market, only individuals who choose to live, act, and think that it does. I just wrote on my Facebook status two days ago how rude and cold real estate agents can be and how they have seemingly lost their finesse in the business. One person replied, "Yeah, its true", and another, "Not a...

Looking for a rental property nowadays can be an intense experience, especially when there can be doubts that a rental may be a foreclosure property. But when you are fortunate to rent a property that is a normal rental that you look forward to moving into, another question may rise as to the maintenance of the apartment/home - Wear and Tear. What is Normal Wear and Tear? Just as a vehicle has normal wear and tear, e.g., tires, hoses, paint abrasion's, dents, scratches, scuffs, and fabric discoloration, rental properties also have normal wear and tear, such as paint, carpeting, walls, and appliances. Who is Responsible for Normal Wear and Tear? It all depends how you confront the situation prior to move-in. Before you move into a rental, make sure that your landlord provides you with a ...

It's hard enough to fathom the delinquent acts that have developed into our financial crisis yet the numbers of scams that perpetrators are using are in increasing numbers. The most recent scam alert from the FDIC dated January 7, 2009 states that there are "E-mail[s] Claiming to Be From The Federal Reserve Bank" In the last couple of years, Southeast Florida residents have been victimized by door-to-door 'salesmen'  claiming to be repairmen or utility workers who prey especially on the elderly. The elderly have victimized in numerous occassions by being robbed out of money and/or services not rendered according to local television news. There is also a scam alert from the IRS which warns consumers that "...if it sounds to be too good to be true, it probably is", an old cliche that we a...

I never thought I'd see the day when you could buy a condo in South Florida for under $100K, but here it is.  Now they come a dime a dozen.  I wonder if that is a mixed blessing though?  Keep this in mind, if there are a lot of unit owners in trouble financially with their mortgage companies then there will be plenty of vacant units in distress, which will eventually lower your property value, make it harder for you to sell for a profit in the future, and probably kick up your maintenance bill a notch.  But hey, if you're on a budget and willing to take a chance on the market's future now is the time.  You can actually afford to be a little picky until you find what you want, and believe me, there are plenty of them out there just ripe for the picking.

I have a lovely couple who wanted me to show them beachfront condo property. Once we met at the property I noticed that they had a dog. We were having small talk conversation while waiting for the gate keys to enter the premises from the seller. I didn't say much about the dog because we were just going to view a condo unit on the first floor which had the windows open; the unit is a furnished efficiency facing the ocean so there wasn't much time to take to see a one room unit. Everything was fine until we found ourselves confronted by the property manager telling us not only that we couldn't park in front of the building but that there were no pets allowed on the premises. "Oh, my dog is not just any dog. He is a service dog and I have every right to have him with me", claims the dog o...

A prospective tenant calls me today telling me that she found me on my blog at ActiveRain. Of couse, I always get delighted when consumers find me through my blogs. She tells me that she is a tenant living in a foreclosed home and needed my advice on 'something'. Eager to listen to her story, I curiously asked her which blog she was calling me on. "One of the ones that you wrote about foreclosures", she said. "Oh great! How may I help you? Yes! So here is the scenario: Ms. Tenant  received a foreclosure package from the bank, hand delivered, of course, that the house that she is living in is in foreclosure. That was back in November of '08. Apparently, the owner stopped paying for their mortgage back in March '08. Once Ms. Tenant received the foreclosure package, she then decided to sto...

After everything that has been said and done about the real estate foreclosure crisis, even though the end is not over, you can't say it is over till it is actually over. But, do you think that we will learn from our mistakes or do you think that history will perpetually repeat itself? We will, and most likely, have learned our lesson about the real estate market...at least for a little while. Statistics do not have to show or prove to us what is happening in the market, we all see it. Street block after street block with homes lined up with for sale signs from the for sale by owner to the real estate professional, trying to sell a pre-foreclosed home, or bank owned property and better yet, home auctions directly to the public. But is real estate a Necessity or a Luxury? Having a roof o...
