OK I have heard this saying time and time again. Never really took it for face value. I have been out showing properties this week in Broward County. I sent multiple listings to all of my clients. And they of course sent me what they wanted to look at. While setting up appointments I asked if they had any offers as of yet and at the time they told me no. It had only been two days since I had made those calls. When I called to check status on two homes my clients were really interested in I was told they had already received multiple offers. Are you kidding me? Nope that was what I was told. Jeez I thought, and I told my clients they couldn't believe it. I told them that this has been happeing more and more. Of course now I have to send them more listings, but now they know not to sit an...

I don't know about you but I am looking forward to next week. Not because the kids are off even though its a good thing. But the main reason? I am packed with buyers!! I have two families coming in from out of town to look at homes. They are spending there spring break trying to find the right home for them. Wow what a great way to start the spring season.  Not only that, my phone hasn't stopped ringing. The moment I hang up the phone and set up listing notifications for them the phone rings again! Can you  imagine when we are in full blown of selling again how things might be. Now I am not saying its going like it  was back in early 2000-2004 but better then it was last year or the year before that! Are you looking to buy? Looking for your right home?

Many people ask me when I go on a Short Sale listing appointment whether or not they have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven on there Mortgage. Here are some answers to some of those questions: The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 generally allows taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principal residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring, as well as mortgage debt forgiven in connection with a foreclosure, qualifies for the relief. This provision applies to debt forgiven in calendar years 2007 through 2012. Up to $2 million of forgiven debt is eligible for this exclusion ($1 million if married filing separately). The exclusion does not apply if the discharge is due to services performed for the lender or any other reason not directly related to a dec...

Last night I attended our PTA meeting. As a parent you know how this goes, PTA is to help supplement the school when it comes to funds. School fundraisers, school pictures, school night activies are all runned by the PTA. While at the meeting the prinicpal was going over her budget she has to turn in on friday for next year. It wasn't looking so good. She needs to cut $400,000 from her budget. 95% of the budget is SALARY! So what does that tell you???? That tells me that next year we will be losing teachers, our classes will be oversized. When you have an oversized class room how does a student learn properly? Its funny how our govnerment tells us that the school shouldn't be affected when it comes to budget, that taxes that went up should work for the school, but yet here we are with m...

School Board members voted to change attendance zones for seven schools, including two controversial moves that will take students from Riverglades Elementary School in Parkland and from Lyons Creek Middle School in Coconut Creek. Next year, 250 students will move from Riverglades to Park Trails Elementary School in Parkland, and 98 students from Lyons Creek to Margate Middle School. The moves were among seven the board approved for the 2009-10 school year. Other affected schools are: Atlantic West Elementary School, Margate Cooper City Elementary School Coral Cove Elementary School, Miramar Margate Middle School Walter C. Young Middle School, Pembroke Pines This decision was unaminous, but there were many parents who were not happy with it, mainly parents from Lyons Creek Middle. No on...

My kids played soccer for the first time this year. I got to know the parents well. Considering we would spend twice a week for an hour while the kids would practice and then on game day. Soccer is now over and closing cermoinies are on Sat. Our team got together last sat for a picnic with just there team members. My husband and I took a bunch of photos during the season. He decided to make the parents a gift with all the pictures from the season. Well not all cause there were way to many, but enough. He put them all in a CD with a flip album as well and a file with photos they could edit themselves. He made the outer covers and wrote on the CD. Here is a picture of what he did.   As you can see the team picture is on the front and on the back cover individual shots of all the kids. And...

The other day I told you about the Sun- Sentinel, how they were advertising about local buyers seminars.  They had place mine and another local agent. There's is on the 24 of this month and mine is on the 28. I got a phone call this morning from someone interested in the Seminar. Originally he wanted the 24. The sooner the better, I explained to him that the one being held on the 24 was by someone else. he told me he tried to call that agent but never returned his phone call. He said he would wait till sat. He sent me an email to registered his seat. My question is, If you are going to advertise for something, why not answer the phone, or return a phone call? Then we wonder why customers look at us with question. If you are not going to treat this as a business, then leave it to those w...

As many of you know I have been advertising for a First Time Home Buyer's Seminar. Well the local paper has noticed this and has mentioned a few of the seminars that are coming up. As it turns out mine is there as well. I couldn't be happier. One free advertising and second free advertising! What could be better? Now I will be heading out and walking some apartment complexes and handing out the flyers. Thought I would share this with all of my AR friends~ Home-buying seminars are all the rage these days as people try to wrap their arms around a complicated process during these chaotic financial times. Coldwell Banker and other real estate firms across South Florida have held the sessions in recent weeks in advance of the spring home selling season. The basic message: buying a home, even...
