Ft Lauderdale Florida - Tips to Help You Sell Your Home

There are at lease fifty inexpensive things that you can do to make your home shine and stand out above the competition. My suggestion to every prospective seller is to take a tour of your own home as if you were a prospective buyer. As a seller you will be moving and looking for a new home so schedule an appointment to “see” your home. Walk in the front door and try to see everything as a stranger. It is hard to do but give it a try. Don’t look past the banged up baseboards that could use a coat of paint or the dent in the wall that has been there since the movers brought your
furniture.

Ft Lauderdale Florida - Home Purchase As-Is Contract, Make

I have had a few opportunities to represent Buyer’s on properties that are listed in the MLS but the Seller’s are basically representing themselves. In those instances the Realtor for the Buyer ends up a negotiator as well as a counselor to some degree. In a recent transaction I represented a foreign buyer who is a novice at buying property in the US and, as a result, faced many questions with regard to the process and the paperwork. He was under the impression that the seller is obligated to make repairs to a property based on inspections. I explained the process of negotiating repairs and set about negotiating with the seller on the repairs that the buyer was asking him to make.

Building a New Home in Coral Springs or Ft Lauderdale, South

If you are considering buying land to build a home on it is very important to educate yourself on the process. Every area is a bit unique and building requirements vary from place to place. South Florida is an interesting place to build and when it comes to buying land there are many important things to consider. Location is always important but what is under the surface is also extremely important. It provides the basic foundation for the home that you build. I have seen houses that are sinking because they were built on land that was not suitable to build on. I recommend that before you buy a lot consult a reputable realtor and local builder for advice. Do your due diligence!
