How to negotiate buying a home in Windermere Florida ... 1.  Decide how badly you want the Windermere house.  If the house is just the run of the mill and you don't care if you get the house, than you can gamble with your offer.  But if this is the Windermere home of your dreams or one-of-a-kind Windermere property, then stop playing games and buy it.  While you play hardball, your Windermere dream home might just be sold to another Windermere home buyer who recognizes the home value and moves quicker.  2.  Look at the home comparable properties of what has sold, but also look at what else is available in the community, and what is under contract waiting to close.  Is there an adequate supply of homes with your criteria?  When there is no supply in a desirable part of town, that makes t... 05/15/2012

Buy a Home in Windermere without a pushy realtor... I love selling buyers homes in Windermere Florida, but hate pushy realtors, high pressure real estate agents, or SALESY agents...in fact I hate anyone in real estate that has a big mouth. You know the kind... Those that try to strong arm you into buying a property that you have no interest in buying...  Those that try to twist your arm when they show you their company listing... Those that try to convince you that this house is such a deal, that there are several offers on the home, but they will "get your offer in the door" if you move quickly and sign on the home contract dotted line today...
