Sometimes, when you love your house...the location, the floorplan, the lot, the neighborhood, the schools, etc, it's worth it to spend a few thousand dollars to remodel the kitchen, update the bathrooms or change up the flooring, paint, fixures and paint rather than buy a new home.

Just because the bank agrees to the short-sale, it doesn't mean that the deal is agreed upon by all parties, especially if there is a HELOC involved. I'll share an example: I am currently working with a Buyer who is under contract for a house in Longwood, Florida. The Sellers, who have owned the ...

Selling or purchasing a home can be exciting and scary at the same time! The goal of my blog is to educate Central Florida Buyers & Sellers about the Good, the Bad & the Ugly things that can happen in a real estate transaction! As an advocate for consumers in Orange, Seminole and Volusia County, I especially enjoy working with first-time home buyers, relocation buyers, sellers of distressed property and luxury home sellers. Native to Central Florida, I'd welcome the opportunity to be your advocate too!
