How to Get More Without Compromise Typically, new home builders in the Tampa Bay area pay a commission of 3% to the real estate agent bringing the buyer to them that results in a sale. Traditional brokerage agents keep all of their commission and split it with their Broker and franchise. I'm an independant real estate broker who owes nothing to a large conglomerate. When you buy with David Tipton as your representative, I share a portion of my commission with you so you can get thousands of dollars back at Closing without sacrificing service. Why I Share 1% of my Real Estate CommissionTo be sure, this offer is not a popular with most if not all real estate agents working in the Tampa area. Offering rebates and incentives is one way that real estate brokers can compete for consumers’ bus... 12/08/2015

5 Key Factors That Will Determine Your South Tampa Home's Value If you are seriously considering putting your South Tampa waterfront home for sale on the market, it is important to know your property’s market value. The value of your home can be affected by several factors. If you want to sell your home for the best price, you need to carefully consider how these factors can work to your advantage as a seller. Here are five things that determine your home’s worth.1. Your home’s age and conditionThe age and condition of your home can greatly influence its value. Usually, historic homes and new homes are more valuable than other South Tampa homes for sale built some time in the middle. Aside from that, a well-kept home that is move-in ready will typically sell for more.  2. Your home’s cu... 12/07/2015

A recent study shows that sellers tend to overestimate the value of their homes by about 8%.   In negotiating a contract, once buyer and seller agree upon a price, the next real hurdle is the appraisal.  Realtors finally exhale once that comes in since appraisals are so subjective.  What happens if an appraisal comes in lower than the contract price?   Well the buyer's mortgage company won't lend more on the property than what the appraisal says the home is worth.  There are basically three options - The seller could lower the price to mirror the appraisal, the buyer and seller can meet somewhere in the middle and the buyer could bring more money to the table, or the deal falls apart because the seller won’t budge on their price because they believe the house is worth more and darn it a... 12/07/2015

When you are looking into renting a home, please do your due diligence and make sure that the home isn't in foreclosure.   There are scam artists that look for homes that a foreclosure has been filed on with an out of town home owner.  Then these scam artists pose as the home owner, run an ad, possibly even hire a real estate agent to fill the home with a tenant.  The tenant then moves in after paying first and last month's rent as well as possibly a security deposit.  Then comes the notice that the home is now owned by the bank and the tenant must move out. You can go the the property appraiser's website to verify who owns the property and the county clerk's website to check to see if the home is in foreclosure.  Make sure you are dealing with the actual home owner. Again, make sure yo... 12/07/2015

All year long we have been watching the real estate market heat up in Florida. There are many reasons why we are seeing a different resurgence this year!   A few of the key catalysts are: the Florida Legislature, interest rates and PMI insurance reductions.

Combining all three, we can see housing is more affordable and there are a lot more people looking for housing!  Florida Governor Rick Scott is very enthusiastic about the housing market citing this past month as another remarkable one for the state. He is particularly proud of his tax cuts, saying “our work to cut taxes and create a business friendly environment is creating jobs and attracting more families to Florida because there are so many opportunities for succ... 12/04/2015

When you are trying to narrow down your favorites, it's a great idea to confirm whether or not the home is in a flood zone that requires flood insurance.  Flood insurance can get very pricey, and there is a lot of talk on the news and from insurance companies about flood insurance increasing each year.Your Tampa Realtor can pull a flood map off the MLS and provide it to you when you're looking at homes.If you are under contract on your new home, it's a great idea to start getting quotes asap.  Once you have selected the policy and company, ask the insurance company about the benefits of binding your insurance coverage.If there is a storm brewing and you haven't bound your coverage, your closing could be delayed as your mortgage company will require your insurance to be in place.Here's a... 11/22/2015

Homes that smell nice and have good curb appeal entice picky buyers to keep looking at your property and not just close the door before seeing the entire home.Often a repugnant smell, whether a strong dog or cat smell, cigarette smell, or a smell of "moisture" will quickllllly turn off buyers and send them running away.Here are few other ideas to spruce your house up and encourage a thorough look and possibly an offer -*A new mail box, house numbers, door bell and possibly a door knocker -- some of the first things a vistor sees.*Green up your grass with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, Home Depot or Lowes Garden Department for an economical fix.*Mulch and edge your flowerbeds, again Home Depot or Lowes.

Under the inspection repair and maintenance section of your home purchase contract, a seller has some limited responsibilities to the buyer to warrant certain items and/or systems in the home. While your agent may be representing you as a buyer, they are in no way qualified to determine the condition on these items and/or systems. As the buyer, you need to do your due diligence during the time alotted in your contract.For that reason, I strongly recommend to all of my customers buying property to employ the services of a professional Licensed Home Inspector to make these determinations.In my experience as a Realtor, the home inspector that you hire will always find something in the home that you are purchasing.  It could be a small issue or a big one. It's just wise for you to know what... 11/18/2015

Why Selling a Vacant South Tampa Maryland Manor Home Is a Big Mistake With so many South Tampa homes in Maryland Manor on the market, you really have to give your property a nice packaging and market it well in order to catch buyer’s attention. Otherwise, your real estate property might sit in the market for several months. In addition to that, most buyers begin their search online.

Buyers find it hard to visualizeWith an empty home, buyers of South Tampa Maryland Manor real estate for sale will have difficulty imagining how furniture will fit in an empty space. If they are unsure, most buyers decide not to buy. It is important to help buyers visualize how muc... 11/16/2015

I always encourage my customers preparing for a move to cut back on their possessions to improve a home's staging. If a house is listed with the clutter remaining in the home, the potential buyers automatically think there isn't enough room, not enough storage in the home. Closets should be neat and tidy - with a clear floor, not piled up suitcases, etc.So where do you put your items - your sports equipment, your suitcases, holiday decorations, extra furniture...those items that are difficult to part with? Self-storage is a popular solution for many homeowner space problems. Do you rent a storage space, or a pod, or sell your items? That's a very individual decision.Here's our experience when we were about to build our home in Wesley Chapel. Before we got moving on the home, we found so... 11/16/2015

Once the price and terms are negotiated and you're under contract for the purchase of your new home, one of the next steps is your mortgage person will order an appraisal to determine that the home is worth at least the contract sales price. We Realtors breathe a lot easier once the appraisal comes back, as appraisals are so subjective.  If the appraisal comes in lower than the contract price, your lender will inform you, the buyer, that the value came in less that the sales price. The lender cannot loan you more than what the appraiser says that it's worth. Here are three very real options -  1 - The seller could lower the sales price to the amount of the appraisal;  2 - The buyer and seller can meet somewhere in the middle and the buyer could bring more money to the title company on t... 11/12/2015
