Courage has many different meanings depending on who you ask. I was told, courage is not the fact that you’re not afraid is the fact that you acted even if you were afraid. Many Buyers and sellers at some point become afraid of the unknown. Some buyers are afraid of all the paperwork involved and some sellers are afraid on change. Today I experience a small part of courage and faith from a buyer who ultimately had both.  After a 6 months of applying, waiting and viewing homes today July 30, 2009 she became a new homeowner.  

As I think about her experience and the outcome is hard to not believe that sometimes good things do happened to good people. This closing had many curves, detours and dead ends but some how we were able to get to the final destination. IT took many hours of work from everyone involved but we were all glad to see another page of the chapter turned.

IF you are a buyer don’t be afraid of the paperwork or the overwhelming time it takes but be glad that you are in a position to buy in this market. IF you are a seller you still can upgrade to a bigger house or even relocate to your retirement haven.

Being a big dresser I love to wear business suits, I am a strong believer of first impression are the best impression. But I must say I don’t wear suits just to make an impression but because I enjoy wearing them. I can take hours feeling the fabric, enjoying the patterns and choosing the right color. Because of the amount of time I invested in learning and appreciate a good suit I also learned the true value of a suit. It was on a sunny weekend while I was driving home from having breakfast I pulled over to a garage sale. There I saw what seemed to be a Giorgio Armani, pinstripe, cashmere suit for a 100 dollars my heart skip a beat. Excitement filled my heart, similar to what an 8 year old boy would feel when going to his favorite Movie.

I soon began to doubt the price seemed to be a giveaway. It’s too good to be true! Something is wrong with it! I stared and analyze every inch of fabric like scientists will study a cell thru a microscope.

You might have experience that with a foreclosure home. You went from excitement to a doubtful heart because it was too good to be true. You stared for minutes and began to look for hiding problems. In a span of 15 minutes you inspected the bathrooms, kitchen, and water pressure couldn’t find nothing wrong. As you finished your inspection you began to think of a good offer. You are a bargain shopper after all it’s the reason why you searched for a foreclosure home. You told yourself never to offer the asking price because everything is negotiable. This is true but it is not apply to everything and at every situation. You must look beyond that statement and look to answer these questions before you decide to make an offer?

1. How long has the property been in the market?

IF the property has been in the market for more than 30 days you have a higher chance of negotiating than a home that just got listed. The more days it goes in the market the higher the chance of you negotiating.

1. What are the comparables sold for?

You might think this is a common question but many buyers overlook it. It is important to know the recent sales in the neighborhood this will determine if the asking price is justified.

1. How many days did it take for homes in the area to go under contract?

This is a very important question. Take a look at homes that are pending sale in the area. Research how many days it took for them to go under contract. If homes in the area go under contract in less than 15 days don’t hold your breath to negotiate.

3.5   How many offers did other homes in the area received?

Theres no way of knowing unless if listing realtor discloses it. Important to know if there’s any competition this will be the determine factor. It’s the simple economic law of supply and demand. Real estate is local by nature you shouldn’t generalize a local neighborhood with national statistics. IF you know how many offers other homes received you will have an idea of many offers this home will received. The same buyers that didn’t get their contracts accepted are the same buyers who are going to make an offer on any home in the same area.

Asking these questions first will help you determine whether to offer asking price or try to negotiate.  IF you have placed 4 offers on four different homes and are still looking consider calling us for insider tips. Buying a home can be an exhilarating experience but it also can be an overwhelming one. As I take time and pleasure in learning more about suits you should learn more about the real estate market. It shouldn’t be another job but another journey.  Call us today if you feel lost and need extra help in finding your perfect home. Don’t try to hard to negotiate nickels and dime while you’re saving a dollar.

P.s I didnt buy the Georgio Armani suit someone else did.

Have you ever watched Muhammad Ali fight. We all know he is one of the greatest fighters in the world. His unique boxing style and over expressed confidence made him a global icon on the 60s. Some say no one else would ever be like him and others say he was just another overrated boxer. But something can’t be argued is that fact he had a brutal punch. One that if landed precisely can end a fight in the blink of an eye. On July 9 I experience a brutal home inspection one that could’ve ended the real estate sale in a blink of an eye. It couldve shattered dreams and forfeit buyers escrow deposit.

The home  must of  been inhabitable with an order for demolition right?. Wrong ! You couldn’t be farther from the truth.

If you have been in the market for Miami Foreclosure you’ve noticed most foreclosure homes need repairs. Some need new bathrooms others need new kitchen and most need both. According to a recent survey the average repair cost of foreclosure range from 8500 to 15000 dollars.

What was the repaired estimated that almost prevented the buyer from buying?

The Repaired estimate was for a whooping $250 dollars. Yikes!!! Isn’t that a lot of Money?

It wasn’t an ordinary inspection the buyer qualified and applied for the city program called NSP.  The OCED ( office of community and Economic development) administers federal and state funding that supports the development of viable neighborhoods.  Before the city grants this money it needs to send city inspector to assure the property is habitable the inspection is called (HQS).

I meant inspector on the home and I did mention that this must have been the best foreclosure home I ever seen. It was in great condition bathrooms, kitchen, appliances and roof were all in standard condition. He quickly took out this form and began his inspection. After 30 minutes and surprised outcome he noted the failed inspection. He gave me his outline that consists of painting wall, fixing valves, smoke detectors ,air filter, G.I.F system for bathroom and kitchen, and light fixture.

Starring with disleif , shocked and barely able to speak i ask:

“    Mr. inspector these are items that can be done after the closing takes place. Why would buyer fix any of these items before closing? Shouldnt we be more concern on major expenses such as roof, appliances, electric, plumbing, A/C, and windows?

“Homes needs to pass inspection and it hasn’t. The repairs must be done prior to closing or else city wont fund. If buyer needs to repair before closing that’s what buyer needs to do. Please call my office and reschedule when repairs have been made.”

Inspector was called 2 days later after buyer repaired all items and we received a pass inspection. Thankfully we were able to recover from what could’ve been a brutal inspection. If you are a first time home buyer first look into the NSP (click here for NSP package)and second be advise some repairs might be needed to the home that must be done before closing. Since this expense is not a lending requirement seller is not obligated to be responsible for it.

1. Prioritize lets us separate our wants and needs. They can make a huge difference on your ability to make a decision. Lets take a closer look on a list of prioritize from a buyer of mine.
Priorities
a. Location.
b. Size
c. 4 rooms minimum
d. Ateast 2400 sqft
e. Under 270,000
f. 5000 sqft
g. Condition

When you make a list of the most important factors like the list above this will allow you to stay focus on what matters. As you know all properties are not the same even if they are build by the same developer or even if its on the same neighborhood. Keep in mind that priorities might be different for you. Condition, Price, and size might of greater value to you than location who knows. But there is something powerful of writing your priorities when searching for that perfect Miami home.
2. Lost of opportunity.
The lost of opportunity happened more than you think. Contrarily to the media the foreclosure homes don’t last more than 15 days if they are priced right. IF buyer doesn’t submit offer and decide chances are someone else will. The lost of opportunity is very common when you think to much and become paralyzed analyzing to much.
3. Accomplish much more with less the effort.
It is human nature to want to see every home in the market that you can. But keep in mind Miami is a huge area and even if you just narrow your search down to a certain area chances are there’s at least 30 properties available. I would suggest to narrow your search by just Foreclosures and Privately owned properties. But how effective could you be looking at every home? Not to effective… I have worked with buyers that have seen over 45 homes in a span of 30 days. Typically after 15 homes every home starts to look the same and the lost of priorities becomes Real. To avoid losing your priorities is extremely important to screen every home by your priority list before seeing the home. This will allow you to accomplish more with less effort.

This is a great Real Estate Market for starters the interest rate has remain low and prices are now more affordable than the previous years. Make a list of your home priorities and give us a call. We can customize your search according to your priorities. Don’t miss this opportunity in one of the best buyers markets In Miami’s History.Ready to enter Miami new Real Estate Market?

 Top 3 investing strategies coming back to life.

It wasn’t too long ago when I saw an infomercial of Carleton sheets investing program. I’m sure all of you have seen or heard of this investing program. I myself was a student of this program early in my Real Estate career. Carleton Sheets investing program introduced me to different ways of buying Real Estate.  But as I applied the investing strategies to The Real World I realized more and more it seemed that the investing strategies didn’t work in Miami. At the time Miami Real Estate was increasing every day, days on the market for homes drop from 45 days to 20 days. Financing and mortgage programs were many and the demand over exceeded the supply. Do you know of any investing strategies that were outdated in the past and are coming back to life?

These investing strategies worked on some states more than others but the fundamentals were there. Lets take a closer look at these investing Strategies.

• 1. Lease to option contracts

A lease option is when a lease or tenants goes under contract to have the option to buy the property typically in a year from the day of the lease. Because of the increase of real estate prices homeowners didn’t consider this option because they could sell it without it. Now that the real estate market its declining you can consider this investing technique.

• 2. Seller financing

It wasn’t difficult to get a mortgage loan 3 years ago. Banks are stricter and more conservative having seller financing could be a modern trend. Developers are turning to this option to increasing cash flow rather than having empty units.

• 3. Hard Equity loans

Most of the  loans that are being  generated in today’s market are FHA or if not conventional. Hard equity loans are going to be a big part of the mortgage business in the upcoming years. They typical lend on value and require a large down payment to lower the risk of the lender.

Change is coming and change is here. A colleague of mine always said just because it’s a down market it doesn’t mean there isn’t a market. IF you are looking into buying your first home or are considering buying real estate in this down-market consider these investing strategies. Remember we are in a buyers market, buyers are making the rules and leading the way.

 If you would like to know more about these investing strategies please contact us.

Miami Beach Luxury homes

Do you love Miami Beach so much that every time you go to the beach or walk on ocean Drive you cant help yourself from dreaming on one day owning a Miami Beach Real Estate.  Miami Beach has long been a hot spot for tourist and Miamians to enjoy Miami’s lifestyle. But Miami Beach today is caught on a cross firing of two different point of views. The decision that the city of Miami Beach and commissioners are going to take can affect and will affect Miami Beach Real Estate. Whether you like the controversy or not you should know before you invest in Miami Beach Real Estate.

Short term rentals are in the verge on being banned in Miami Beach.

Miami Beach officials have officially said they don’t want short term rentals in Miami Beach. What is considered short term rentals? A rental less than 6 months and one day. IF this decision takes place this is how Miami Beach Real Estate can be affected.

• 1. Buying for the sake of Rental Income is less possible.
• 2. Less Real Estate available for important holidays.
• 3. Prices for Hotel rooms will go up ( supply and Demand)
• 4. Less tourist visits.
• 5. More foreclosure inventory.

Miami Beach residents who favor the decision of banning short term rentals argue this decision will have a positive effect on the city of Miami Beach. They stated that having a banned on short term rentals will minimize the music and the parties on local neighborhoods. This alone with increase the peace and quite of each section in Miami Beach. Can this point be argue? Well of course it can each side has its pros and cons. What do you think? Do you think the city Miami Beach should dictate to homeowners what to do with their Homes to maintain and control city lifestyle? Your opinion matters. Click here to read more.

Do you want to sale your Miami Home? Maybe you should try a Real Estate Lottery! Maybe not.

Over 15 million homes Nation Wide have been in the Market in 2008. It would be safe to say over 40% of those homes are in foreclosure or close to it. The Long Predicted Real Estate buddle finally burst in late 2007. There’s more inventory now of homes than the past decade. This problem has forced many Realtors, and sellers to think outside the box. Simply putting the home in the MLS is not enough anymore. Real Estate agents have been forced to focus on online marketing, Search Engine Optimization, and other non traditional selling techniques. Two days ago I stumble across an article the ” Nice Price: $100 buys 1 million dollar house” It was about  a Real Estate seller that couldn’t sale his house even if his life depend on it. Until he decide to sale his home thru a Real Estate lottery. He teamed up with a nonprofit organization to run the raffle and was able to sale 24,000 thousand raffle tickets. The Real Estate lottery caught the attention of all media news and major newspapers. It was a brilliant idea and to his credit he was able to sale his home a nontraditional way.

The question is can we sale our Miami homes via Lottery tickets?

After reading this article I quickly began to gather my team of professionals. I knew to have a successful Real Estate lottery in Miami it was going to take the effort of a whole team. It was in that moment I began to seek legal advice just to make sure Florida Law allows it. To my amaze after 45 minutes on the phone with an attorney asking him the same question in different ways ” I was bumped and disappointed the great idea was not allowed here in State Florida it was against F.S 819. What can I say? It was a brilliant idea anyway.

What can we learn?
