Shhhh! This Is Not For Everyone. As I read articles on the economy and housing and unemployment, I get more than a little depressed. Last week I read down 62% of homeowners are not making the updates to their property because they do not see a return. Then I look around and see this is not totally true. They are plenty of folks nationwide making improvements like kitchen and bath updates, garage organization and even closet organization. This is not a commercial for anyone but a fact of what is happening. Where and Who is making it happen? A company that refuses to listen to the depressing news and keeps on keeping on. A company probably not many have heard of unless you shop your local Home Depot. The company is US Remodelers, who have partnered with Home Depot for in home installation... 06/07/2011

The Second time around is much better! We hear that to be true in marriages. There are many that say, the second time around is much better when it comes to a lot of things.  I will be the first to say that this can apply to Short Sales as well. I just received a Short Sale Approval here in Coral Springs and it is the second time around. Our first Buyer couldn't get financing so back on the market.  My Seller who was trying to sell their home in Coral Springs was quite disappointed by losing the first Buyer.  It is a lovely home so I assured them that we'd get a Buyer and we did, yet the price was $20,000 less than what was originally approved.  Here's our 2 Buyers scenarios: Buyer one - First time around Approved Short Sale Promissory Note for $10,000 Right to pursue deficiency Buyer ... 06/02/2011

Color me softly, your walls that is, if you're considering selling your home in Coral Springs and other South Florida cities or anywhere for that matter! I love color, do you? As the image shows here, I love blue yet if I'm trying to sell my home, this bright, bold blue is going to limit the number of Buyers who would consider buying my home. Why is this? Why can't Buyers just look beyond the color on your walls and envision their favorite color? Some can, but the majority of Buyers cannot. Would you say that they're lacking vision? Well maybe or perhaps they just don't want to work so hard in imagining how their furnishings would look in this bright, bold, blue space. So what am I suggesting? I"m suggesting a few cans of paint and a little labor to neutralize those bright, bold colors... 05/19/2011

Where do you relax? The upcoming summer months call for taking extra time to relax...do you have a favorite spot?  Oh, how I love to relax on my sun porch or patio with family and friends. Depending on the time of day, I"ll enjoy a cup of afternoon coffee, Dunkin Donuts of course or if evening has arrived I'll have a glass of red wine; after all, wine is good for my heart! Quite often I'll spend a great deal of time, when time allows that is, on my porch or patio. Can't think of a better place to relax and unwind.

  Poignant anxiety is history! Thanks to a South Florida Short Sale approved.  So what's the history of this Short Sale?  We tried to sell the home as a Traditional Real Estate sale as we weren't $100's of thousands of dollars upside down so we thought, just maybe, we'll be lucky. Well luck ran out and on the Short Sale circuit the home went, even after offers had come in as they were below our list price.  This just further assured the fact, that the home would sell quickly at it's true market value. Soon thereafter, we received a solid Short Sale offer. After all, the home was lovely having been well cared for by the distressed Seller. Distressed Seller doesn't mean that you cannot find a beautiful home being sold as a Short Sale. My Seller had an awful lot on her mind from losing a ... 05/12/2011
