The proportion of cash sales made in the United States reached its highest level since 2014 in April. It goes from 35.1% in Orlando to 53.6% in West Palm Beach in Florida.According to research from Redfin, cash was used to purchase 33.4% of homes in the United States in April. This figure is the most significant percentage in nine years, up from 30.7% the previous year.There is one primary reason why purchases made entirely with cash make up a larger share of the overall market: Higher interest rates on mortgage loans have a greater impact on purchasers who want to finance their purchases than they do on buyers who intend to pay cash. The annual rate of decline for house sales was 41% in April, while the decline for cash transactions was just 35%.In Florida, cash sales account for an ev... 09/19/2023

https://flic.kr/p/McgqJG SBA loans often receive a bad rap among borrowers, primarily because many individuals turn to their local banks, which typically handle only a couple of SBA loans throughout the year. Consequently, the experience can be less than ideal. On the other hand, I personally facilitate the closing of 3-4 SBA loans each month, predominantly through non-bank SBA lenders. Currently, I have 21 SBA loans in my pipeline, with 20 of them already approved. The one awaiting approval hasn't been submitted yet, as I am waiting for a resume to strengthen the application. Rest assured, it's highly likely to receive approval, maintaining a perfect track record. I take pride in making the SBA loan process smoother and more manageable for my clients. In today's climate, with local ban... 09/18/2023

Word of Mouth Advertising is BEST! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟  As my buyer client and I stepped into the vacant house that was first on the list to preview, we were met in the hallway by a handyman finishing up a few repairs. He apologized for being in the way and engaged us both in a conversation. He admitted it was a property he purchased in the last market downturn at a very reasonable price. The owner further explained that he bought quite a few like the attached townhome and was getting them all ready to sell quickly.  We wandered from room to room and my client wasn't really interested in this property, so we bid him farewell. The last thing he said to us, was that he had the best agent in the entire state of Utah. That comment gave me pause. You can't buy that kind of loyalty anywhere or anyhow and ... 09/16/2023

Don’t leave your readers hanging, wondering what you meant.   It’s been a while since I nagged about the importance of grammar in your blog posts, letters, and emails to clients. Therefore, it must be time to revisit the subject. It is important. In fact, studies such as those conducted at North Carolina State University, the University of Michigan, and Undercover Recruiter, found that readers judge strangers in an unfavorable light simply because of writing errors. And when it comes to real estate, clients are wise to be leery if you don’t know your way around words. After all, when you help them write purchase offers or counter-offers, the words must be clear. There is no room for misunderstandings. That means it pays to polish your skills and to not allow yourself to fall into poor g... 09/18/2023
