Short sale homes in Weston,FL   Why buy a short sale A short sale means the seller's lender is accepting a discounted payoff to release an existing mortgage. Just because a property is listed with short sale terms does not mean the lender will accept your offer, even if the seller accepts it. Be aware that the seller need not be in default -- to have stopped making mortgage payments -- before a lender will consider a short sale. A lender may consider a short sale if the seller is current but the value has fallen. The seller may have over-encumbered, owe more than the home is worth, so a discounted price might bring the price in line with market value, not below it.

In the pursuit of a perfect, utopian society America's builders came up with an idea for the homeowner's association, or HOA as we know it. Once a blip on the real estate landscape, it's almost impossible to find a community without one. In South Florida they dot the landscape like sunflowers in the Israeli desert. They are everywhere! I even love when a homebuyer gives me his or her wish list and on it is included no HOA. Good luck buddy is my answer. You better learn to live with them down here. But that is not the subject of this blog entirely. I never thought about it before, but after reading a book entitled "Desert Reckoning" by Deanne Stillman I came to realize that today's residential communities are somewhat Socialist in nature. How can they not be? Everything the community doe... 07/26/2012

   470 Birchwood Way, Weston, FL 33326   Green Realty Properties was the Listing Brokerage and Area Pro Realty was the Selling Brokerage firm in this sale that closed on June 29, 2012. I listed the home and Tanya Saiz brought in the most wonderful buyer for the home!   This is a beautiful home that we received many, many calls and emails about long after it went under contract. It was very well maintained with an extremely kid friendly backyard, so we had a lot of families scrambling to get in and take a look. The Sellers received 12 offers, and were able to pick the best and highest. The offers all had the same purchase price as I had the approved value before I even listed; what stood out about this offer was the very large deposit that very clearly sent the message to the Sellers th... 07/06/2012

I can't think of one good thing about a 55+ community if you are an investor. The odds are so stacked against you making any money that you really don't have much of a chance from the start, even if you got the greatest deal in the world. Here are the problems associated with them from an investor point of view; First, whoever you sell or rent to has to be of age, which trims down the list of possible buyer/renters. Second, the maintenance is absolutely brutal. Enough said. Third, most of these communities reek of death. Fourth, once a homeowner dies his or her children usually inherit the property and they can't do anything with it so they dump them at any price, which affects the property value of others. Sixth, even old people have some brains. Why would they buy a unit from a flippe... 07/06/2012

If you know exactly why you are selling then it is easier for you to follow the right plan of action for getting what you want. If you are a seller who needs to close a sale as quickly as possible, then you should know that getting the highest price possible is not one of your priorities. It does not mean that you won’t or cannot get the highest price, but it means that the price is not the deciding factor. A buyer who can give you a quick closing time will appeal much more to you than a buyer who can offer you more money but the negotiation and closing time drag on. It’s always good to know how low you will go, in terms of selling price. This will help to eliminate some of the offers that you find simply offensive or ridiculous. Even though you should consider all offers seriously and ... 06/22/2012

Hot Market This is an extremely competitive market and is advantageous to the seller. Sometimes, homes will sell as soon as they are listed or even before homes are listed. Typically, during a hot market, multiple offers will be made on each home and more often than not, homes will sell for more than the asking price. It is even more crucial to be prepared and to be ready as a buyer when the market is hot. It can be easy to get caught up in the bid for a home, but if you are prepared (pre-approved, solid in price range, realistic about your needs), it is easier to remain focused on your housing needs and price range. Normal Market In a normal market, there is a fairly large number of homes available and an average number of buyers. This market does not necessarily favor the buyer or the... 06/22/2012

Estate planners often recommend Living Trusts as a viable option when contemplating the manner in which to hold title to real property. When a property is held in a Living Trust, title companies have particular requirements to facilitate the transaction. While not comprehensive, answers to many commonly asked questions are below. If you have questions that are not answered below, your title company representative may be able to assist you, however, one may wish to seek legal counsel. Who are the parties to a Trust? A Family Trust is a typical trust in which the Husband and Wife are the Trustees and their children are the Beneficiaries. Those who establish the trust and transfer their property into it are known as Trustors or Settlors. The settlors usually appoint themselves as Trustees ... 06/14/2012

Why You Should Not Make Any Major Credit Purchases Don’t go on a spending spree using credit if you are thinking about buying a home, or in the process of buying a new home. Your mortgage pre-approval is subject to a final evaluation of your financial situation. Every $100 you pay per month on a credit payment could cost you about $10,000 in home eligibility. For example, a car payment of $300/month could mean that you qualify for $30,000 less in a mortgage. Even if you have accumulated enough savings, you should consider not making any large purchases until after closing. The last thing you want is to know that you could have purchased a new home had you curbed the urge to spend. 06/14/2012

With the burst of the housing bubble, credit crisis, and millions of foreclosures across the country, you may wonder if buying a home is such a good idea after all. However, it’s important to consider all of the facts. The important message to take away from these events is not that buying a home is a bad idea, but that you must be smart about buying your home. The housing market, like every type of market, unavoidably has its ups and downs. That doesn’t mean buying a home is a bad investment. As a long-term investment, homeownership is still one of the best investments for individual households. Historically, real estate has consistently increased in value, despite shorter periods of depreciation due to local markets and/or national economic conditions. The data shows that homes genera... 06/14/2012

As a buyer, you are entitled to know exactly what you are getting. Don’t take anything for granted, not even what you see or what the seller or listing agent tell you. A professional home inspection is something you MUST do, whether you are buying an existing home or a new one. An inspection is an opportunity to have an expert look closely at the property you are considering purchasing and getting both an oral and written opinion as to its condition. Beforehand, make sure the report will be done by a professional organization, such as a local trade organization or a national trade organization such as ASHI (American Society of Home Inspection). Not only should you never skip an inspection, but also you should be present with the inspector during the inspection. This gives you a chance t... 06/14/2012

The best seller is one who is highly motivated. A highly motivated seller is more likely to sell at a price that is less than his or her house is actually worth. And it matters that you find out why. Learning the reason why can help you get the price you want and help the seller get what they want: a timely sale. When given the opportunity to meet with sellers, ask them why they are selling. The reason could be anything, such as a job change to a new location or financial problems. If you can solve their problem, whether it is cash related or time related, do so. For example, if the sellers are highly motivated because they need to move quickly, give them a fast sale - and a lower price. If you can make an offer, even a low one, that gives them cash in a short time, they are more likely... 06/14/2012

By asking the right questions, and knowing exactly what your needs are, you can find the right loan for you. There are certain approaches that you can take while mortgage shopping that can cost or save you money. It is still true that the better qualifications you have, the lower your interest rate will be. However, there are mortgages available for almost everyone; it's the interest rates or the down payments that vary. Before speaking with a lender, know what monthly dollar amount you feel comfortable committing to. Then when you discuss mortgage pre-approval with your lender, it is easier for you to determine the monthly amount and what value of home the monthly amount translates into. Do not put yourself in the position where you will be paying more each month than you intended simp... 06/14/2012

Some terms that may work in your favor:   higher-than-market-interest in a second mortgage for your home the buyer will pay for most or all of the closing costs the buyer will take care of any repairs quick close - the buyer is pre-approved and ready to close in a timeframe that best suits you all-cash deal   When reading through offers, remember to look at the whole package.
