Wellington Florida | A Decade of Development  My How This Little Village Has GROWN! My family and I are so proud to call Wellington Florida home, as we have for over a decade now.  We've watched our boys grow up in this little 'Village' and my how it has grown -- in fact, the Village of Wellington has grown nearly as quickly as my boys!  What a wonderful place to raise our children, live, work and play! It has meant so much to be a part of the incredible journey and here are just a few of the things we've witnessed over the past decade....... The Mall at Wellington Green Opened in October 2001: 10300 W.

Transitional HomesWith an aging mother, a developmentally delayed daughter, and an unemployed spouse at home, I have often quipped that I need a 'menstrual hut' to which to escape to get some work done.  Lo and behold, along comes the Transitional Home.With a targeted market of Baby Boomers with aging parents, the Transitional Home is a new and 'booming' business.  A manufactured kit that costs approximately $17,000 for the pieces and goes together like a jigsaw puzzle.  It may end up costing upwards towards $75,000 for this home that is less than 700 square feet when all is said and done (electrical, plumbing, drywall, appliances, etc.).  In the long run, however, that is MUCH cheaper than the cost of assisted living. Depending on your local building codes, the home can be erected on y...

Atlanta can finally raise a championship banner, and it's one no one wants. But toss the challenge flag because the devil is in the data reviewed. In November, prices of single-family homes were down close to 12 percent compared with a year earlier, the largest decline among major metropolitan areas, according to data released on Tuesday in the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Home prices regionally are now below their levels of 2000, making Atlanta one of only four metro areas to have experienced such a slide. The price of entry-level housing in the area — the lowest tier of the market, valued at just under $96,600 — fell by close to a third last year. So maybe just as that picture doesn't necessarily reflect the city, this data might not accurately reflect the market. ...

Home Inspection Maintenance Tips - High Soil Levels One of the most common defects we find when performing home inspections is called "high soil" conditions. It is also one of the easiest to correct for many homes.   High soil levels are cited as a defect in home inspections when soil, fill material or mulch covers the top 4-6 inches of the foundation perimeter beam. This condition prevents the inspector from observing the foundation in these areas, creates conducive conditions for insects, covers weep holes and may also allow moisture to penetrate the structure between the foundation and first (bottom) row of bricks or siding.   In many cases, the soil, fill material or mulch could simply be raked away from the foundation perimeter beam to expose the top 4-6 inches of the foundation. N...

I (Jared) can remember this day like it was yesterday.  I was working with a local Fort Wayne real estate investor looking for fixer uppers that he could flip.  We would schedule two or three afternoons a week and go see 8-10 of them and throw out a few offers.   Most of the investment homes we were looking for were in the $20,000 - $50,000 price range, and most of them were foreclosures.  I could probably write a book about some of the crap we saw out there.   Anyway, back to THE HOUSE.  It was a very hot and humid day a few summers ago.  If I recall right it was in the high 90s and disgustingly humid.  The house was a little two bedroom on a basement.  In the description it said that it "Needed work" and that the basement was a "Little wet".  Yeah...   STOP READING THIS NOW IF YOU ARE...

A recent blog post by the Active Rain network asked the question "how do you spend your marketing budget?", in which they asked you to fill out a survey talking about where you spend your marketing dollars.  In return for filling their databases with your valuable information they offered to add 500 points to the plethora of point-age in your Active Rain account. Well, being the point-whore that I am, I ran my little feet over there as quickly as I could and filled out said survey.  Hey, points is points! The survey, as it's designed to, got me thinking, put a ring in my nose and led me to the question of "What marketing budget?" As with many of us, in a down market, money is tight, and after feeding the dog, and the wife, keeping the electric on and the wolves away from the door (the d...

BUYER BEWARE! Even Picture Perfect Homes May Be In Need of MAJOR Repairs! Buyers Beware:  Even picture perfect homes may be in need of major repairs. As a matter of fact, It is so important that you get a home inspection that in Texas we have you sign the form “FOR YOUR PROTECTION: GET A HOME INSPECTION” when you make an offer on a home. I have never seen an inspector not find a single thing wrong with a home. Not even on a brand new, never lived in, home.   Here’s some things to keep in mind: The purpose of inspections is to supply the buyer with a detailed evaluation of the property's physical condition so that the buyer can make an informed decision whether or not to move forward with the purchase of the property. Seller’s are not required to make repairs. IF they will not make repa...

The 3 E's of Blog Content: Educate, Engage and Entertain We all know that content in our blogs is king. Without usable content, the blog would have little or no value. But what in fact are the guiding principals for content?  Having attended numerous webinars of for real estate and technology, there is often discussion of the three E's of Blog Content. Educate: We do that with numerous posts to inform consumers on our markets with market reports, stories of our experiences in the industry, real estate trends, and specifics about the process with which  consumers will engage in the endeavor of securing or liquidating real property.

Mastering Your Domain Okay, I’ll admit it, I’m an Inman News junkie!  It’s a bit difficult to keep up with the amazing minds who write for Inman but, I do enjoy trying!   In a recent article, “How to turn leads into real estate clients,” there was a lot of great information contained within but, in my opinion, the main part of that article truly had nothing to do with the title itself. “Many real estate professionals don't understand that a website needs to be tweaked and measured..”  This single statement is, to me, the most important part of this post!  We all have our style of working leads and we all have our preferences as to what our websites should reflect about our particular areas. I believe that many agents miss the 'big' picture with regards to converting the consumer on thei...

Many people think that insurance companies say people with bad credit have more accidents. This is not correct. The truth is typically people with bad credit have many many more missed payments, lapses, cancelations, or other issues in general. Why does this matter? Insurance companies spend millions of dollars in taking care of these clients a year.   For example.. Let’s say the average customer service rep makes $12 hr.  Usually the folks with many issues will have at least 4 service issues a year. It may take that CSR 1/2hr then they need to escalate it to the company and then the company now needs to pay their employee another $12 hr. plus they usually have to take it up another level as well. This all costs the company lots of money reducing the profits of the policy hence a rate ...

  New Law in Arizona effective January 1, 2012  There is a new Law in Arizona effective January 1, 2012.  It is meant to address property owners who are renting out residential property but not properly classifying the residence as a rental with the appropriate County Assessor. With the next mailing of valuation notices to property owners [usually in February], there will be an affidavit attached requiring property owners to attest that they or a family member are occupying the property as their primary residence and to return the affidavit to the county. If the affidavit is not filed within 60 days, the property will be classified as a rental property and the property taxes could increase. This process will be repeated every other even-numbered year.    When a property is used as a ren...

Are you serious about finding topics and creating great posts for your blogs?  One of the things that slows down many bloggers is the search for topics. How can you find some great subjects.  My advice is Stop, Look and Listen.  Stop -- Too often we are so absorbed in our day to day work to pay attention the things around us.  It is like the old saying, "Stop and smell the roses".  We need time and interests away from the day to day pressures.  When life is balanced we find interesting things that it is fun to share.  I always feel sorry for the individuals who only post their listings because they are not truly involved in the fantastic culture that is established here in the Rain.   Look  --  there are thousands of topics if you look for them.  It can be just observing your surroundin...

 The Real Estate Neighborhood Review Journal of Asheville: Lakeview Park   The sidewalks in Walkable Asheville's  Lakeview Park  run down to greet Beaver Lake. First created in 1920, Beaver Lake is man-made. It grew from the damming of Beaver Creek.  For me, this “private lake” shines like a diamond in the carolina blue sky, for, although it is “private”  the Lakeview Park walkable community welcomes Asheville residents and those relocating to Asheville to stroll, sit and enjoy ,canoe the lake, or jog aroung its perimeter.  And if ,any given day, during the winter, spring, summer or fall of the year,  you may see the young and the young-at-heart at play.   “Upscale” Walkable Asheville Neighborhood    By 1922, an “upscale” housing development known as Lakeview Park that centered around B...

The requirements for real estate licensure vary from state to state. In many jurisdictions, getting a real estate license is a lot easier than getting one to cut hair. Many suggest that the standard be raised and that more education should be demanded in order to sell real estate. And while some decry this as a “protectionist” attitude from incumbent agents in order to eliminate competition, I see it differently. Due to the changes in the actual practice in real estate sales and the ever increasing threat of litigation, strengthening of the licensure process would serve to protect the licensee as well as the public. The ability to get a license quickly and easily is not a boon. It is a curse. How much better would it be to send a newly licensed agent into the real world educated and inf...

If you live on the water, or within 1000 feet of tidal water in Maryland, you had better be aware of restrictions imposed within this Cheasapeake Bay Critical Area. For instance, if you cut that tree down on your property to get a better view of the water, you could face both civil and criminal charges. Yes, that wasn’t a typo...criminal charges.A homeowner was recently sued by the State for cutting down trees on his waterfront property to get a better view. He was sued simultaneously in both Civil and Criminal Courts. His fine in Civil Court exceeded $10,000, and he got lucky in Criminal Court with a Probation before Judgement. He is also required to get permits for the work he already did, as well as plant trees and shrubs to replace the missing ones. Along with his legal expenses, t...

Do you know this feeling that the property is not moving and the Sellers are frustrated and are not willing to reduce the listing price? In a situation like this I am telling my sellers that if they want to sell their Daytona Beach condo fast, I have an investor, but he will not pay more than $60K for this condo, listed for $79,900.   The Sellers are thinking about going forward with the investor, and here comes a full price offer. Like a bolt from the blue. Great, but how could that happen? Easy… I am looking at the offer, and the Buyer’s agent is from Orlando. Not far, an hour drive. Different MLS, very different market here on Daytona's beachside.   But hey, we legally can sell anywhere in Florida, can’t we? Should we? If it was my Buyer, I would work the middle grounds here, so that...

Tracking Your Home's History Does your home have a diary?  And we're not talking literal entries by your home...."Dear Diary, if that dog has an accident on my floor one more time I'm going to slam the door on his tail!!" type entries, but a historical log of repairs and changes. A frequent struggle for homeowners when we meet to list their home is defining WHEN and WHAT work was actually done.  "Ethel, did we put on that new roof in 2008?  or 2009?".  Now some homeowners are very analytical....they'll have EVERY record of EVERY thing that was ever done to the home in a file folder.  Contractor, date, dollars paid.  Every appliance manual, ready to rock!  HOA documents?  You bet!  But in most cases, it's a manual search of the gray matter memory banks, and most of us know by now that ou...

Putting The Cart Before The Horse When Buying Real Estate  You probably know this expression “putting the cart before the horse”, well this is one way to describe a buyer who wants to start seeing houses before they have been pre-approved by a lender.  Sure as a buyer you might have some idea of what you can afford, but until you talk with a professional, go over the closing costs and find out what you can afford for a mortgage, you are putting the cart before the horse.Yes looking at houses can be fun.  Open Houses are a great way to see houses on a whim.  But don’t be surprised when an agent does not want to show you properties if you are not pre-approved by a lender. WHY? You might ask.  Well agents need to make a living just like everyone else and if they give a lot of time to a buy...

Piney Z home sales were down significantly in 2011, and a new "low" was hit with only 28 homes sold in 2011, down 10% from 2010. This means we have seen 8 straight declining years, something that I have not seen often from the rest of the Tallahassee real estate market. Typically, when we see unit sales decline faster than the rest of the market, we are experiencing a Tallahassee neighborhood where home owners are “holding on” trying to find higher prices. This can work for a short period of times in a stronger market, but at some point, capitulation will kick-in and we'll see major price declines as Piney Z home sellers compete with each other for the declining buyers. I suspect we will start to see homeowners begin to be overcome by the market momentum this year and home values will l...

This is great advice that everyone can do right now.  Read Gary's blog to understand why and how.  When you keep negativity held within you, you are only hurting yourself. So, it's best to let it go.I've seen high levels of tension in real estate problem negotiation and it is one of many examples in life of negativity. We need to    Release Negativity As Fast As Possible. Think of all of it in life. Hurts, anger, pain, disagreement, cruelty, insensitivity, regret, worry, thoughtlessness, taking one for granted, selfishness, insult... the list goes on and on what any of us can be afflicted with by another at a given time. But we need to dump it as soon as possible, almost as if we wear a teflon suit. It won't go away quite that fast but to get rid of it: Distance yourself from the person...

And while it is true, the seller does know much more about the property and home than anyone else, if the buyer is not truly interested the valuable information shared is irrelevant.

One of the most in-demand requests that real estate agents are getting from those looking for new homes concerns home theaters, or at least the space to add such a multi-media room. With home-theater technology evolving and prices lowering over the last decade, the concept has evolved from luxury to near necessity for many households. It’s the place where the family comes together to be entertained, and is the most occupied room in the house after the kitchen and family room. It’s become the focal point for entertaining and showcasing expansive, crystal clear flatscreens and impressive components. It’s why many homebuyers are looking for houses with home-theater spaces or extra rooms to create one. Real estate experts agree that home theatres add value to a home. According to the Home B...

The public doesn’t know what goes through the minds of REALTORS and real estate agents when they ask us before we’ve met them personally to meet them for the first time at the property. We (agents) always need to consider Safety First. 99% of the time there is probably nothing to worry about. That is more than likely because 80% of the people calling have no dastardly intentions to do us harm and 19% have no intention of buying anything. Thankfully the instances are few so we hardly ever see mention in the media about the agents who have been assaulted, raped, intimidated, robbed and God forbid…killed at unoccupied properties. There can also be “pretend” buyers who just want to case the house for dishonest purposes. Granted, one of the reasons the general public doesn’t have these occu...

How Do You Spend Your Marketing Budget?  I am looking forward to these results. What works and what doesn't work. I hope to see a lot of people take the survey.There are no shortage of great products out there for a real estate professional to use in their business. (There are no shortage of crappy products either, but that's another point entirely) Almost every day it seems a new technology is introduced that promises to add revenue to your bottom line. But what are you actually spending money on in your business? And how much? In 2011, we polled our members to give us a look at what 'Rich Real Estate Agents and Poor Real Estate Agents' were using in their business as a way to compare top producers and their behavior with those agents who make less than $30,000/year. Now we'd like to d...
