What should a Windermere Home Buyer offer on the Windermere home? This is a question that we get asked often and I always have an answer..."it all depends".  Every property is different and I do have a real answer but first I like to "chat" with the listing agent.  Sometimes the listing agent will get miffed that I am even asking, but most of the time they will talk some...I like it when they give me some insight into the sellers motivation.  Besides It IS MY BUYER AGENT JOB to gather all the information I can when I am an Windermere Exclusive Buyers Agent representing only the best interest of the home buyer buying in Windermere Florida. So here is my honest answer to a Windermere home buyer offer... based on experience. How badly do you want the property?  If this is not the house of ... 02/18/2013

Francisco Orchilles, Orlando Short Sale expert with Keller Williams Classic Realty, has recently sold another Bank of America short sale listing, with no deficiency towards the home owner, in the town of Windermere, FL Orchilles began the short sale process by assuring that the home seller’s hardship would be sufficient enough to warrant a short sale on their home.

Similar to what the Marine slogan says..."I only want a few good home buyers" for Windermere. Last week someone asked me how many home buyers I was working and then proceeded to tell me that they are working 25 home buyers...Is that really something to brag about?  Not in my book, because it is simply IMPOSSIBLE to do a good job or even a halfway good job...even half that amount is too many at one time. Working with home buyers is not running an assembly line...it takes time and effort and doing an expert job means you do not take on more bodies than you can handle.

My Windermere Home Buyer Client will never see me sweat...even if I am sweating.  Windermere Home Buyers hire me to solve their problem, not create more stress. Lets face it...if you are doing a good job for the buyer and trying to get the most you can for them, there will always be some level of conflict.  I like to stick to business, remain calm and simply promote the buyers position.  I do not call up the buyer and give them a "blow by blow" report on how unreasonable the seller is or how annoyed the listing agent was.  My job is to stay cool and just solve the problem.  I have found that agents that "flip out" over an issue, have clients that will follow their lead and do the same.  I do not want my home buyer client to sweat...ever...which is why my Windermere home buyer client wil... 01/08/2013

Kassab has written a number of real estate-related columns over the years- some of which I’ve agreed with, some I haven’t.  The job of a columnist being to offer opinions and commen... 10/11/2012
