After all, you will learn a lot as you go. But there are some things to keep in mind: Do the Proper Research Buying real estate can be an overwhelming experience for the first-time buyer.

I am still struggling to find clients that want to actually "buy" a home.  I get questions about interest rates, credit scores and loans; but the last time I checked, I was a real estate agent, not a mortgage broker....wait, let me change my hat.  The only answers that I have for these folks is that they should call their bank, or a mortgage lender, see what they can pre-qualify for, then come talk to me.  With the number of foreclosures and short sale properties on the market, it would be easier to "swing a deal" when you know how much the buyer can afford.   But, alas....the cash flow of investors is hovering over us here in South Florida like a black cloud.  They come in and scoop up these properties faster than we can say "sold". I hope that in the next 6 to 12 months that the forec...

    The day before settling on your new home, your lender tells you that you have been denied for x,y,z of a reason. You ask how this can be because your lender has had your mortgage application for over 30 days. You are furious....  Well folks, this has been a very touchy topic of lately, those loan officers that issue pre-qualification letters or pre-approval letters. There was a comment on my previous blog, Pre-Qualification letter vs Pre-Approval vs Commitment letters - Knowing the differences. The comment was written by a loan officer with 7 + years of experience. Just a FYI... I am not knocking the loan officer. This is a good topic to discuss and understand.       Comment on previous blog by a loan officer : "The problem with lumping these two definitions under the same category ...

Southbend is special to me because it's the neighborhood that I call home. While it's not gated, nor does it have a Home Owner's Association, Southbend has the appeal of those types of communities. So for highlighting this area, I can speak from personal experience and knowledge. Top Reasons Southbend is so desireable: Community Park (Jessica Clinton Park) with ball fields, basketball courts, playground, pavilion, soccer field Miles of winding sidewalks Great for riding your bike, jogging, walking the dog, and any other types of exercise Fishing and Canoeing or Kayaking - there is a bridge at the front entrance with side access to cast a line or launch a canoe I remember putting our boat in at this access area as a kid - but the city has since closed it for boaters Shops and Publix Ther...

The best real estate agent in St. Lucie West or any market for that matter depends on a few things. The number one consideration should be what you (the home buyer or seller) are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to Short Sell your home, or are you trying to avoid a Short Sale? Are you trying to buy a home? If you are looking to buy, how quickly do you need a home? Do you have time for the sometimes lengthy process that a Short Sale can be? Should you look at Bank Owned properties and do you have the temperament to deal with the struggles and frustrations that buying bank owned foreclosures can sometimes be?   If you are looking to sell your home in a Short Sale, do you have time to accomplish this before the bank forecloses?If you need help with any of your real estate needs in Port...

  Shopping mortgage rates can be confusing, especially if you are dealing with a loan officer that has no integrity.  It's just a sales job to them.  You hear people say... Shop Rate...Shop APR (Annual Percentage Rate)…..  Shop mortgage fees….. So which is it?  Shopping for a mortgage can be very frustrating also to say the least. I hear so many called experts tell the average consumer to shop APR. This is not the wisest of decisions and can be argued by many professionals. Keep in mind, this is my opinion on this subject. Lets add some more confusion. Most of us know what the rate is in regards to mortgages. Lets define rate and APR.  Rate :  A charge or payment calculated in relation to a particular sum or quantity: interest rates. (from answer.com)  APR (Annual Percentage Rate) :  Is...

                          Ocean access waterfront real estate in Port St. Lucie Florida may be the best real estate investment in this buyers market. Hidden River Estates on the north fork of the St. Lucie River in Port Saint Lucie is among the best values for ocean access subdivisions on Florida's Treasure Coast.      Ocean access waterfront real estate on Florida's east coast is at a 10 or 15 year low in price. Waterfront real estate is not immune to the foreclosure and short sale epidemic that has struck the rest of Saint Lucie county. As a rising tide floats all boats, a falling tide has the same and reverse effect. When this cycle turns (and it will) one of the first locations in this real estate market to show appreciation will be ocean access waterfront real estate on Florida's T...
