Winter Garden Open Houses (and Losing All That Junk)! Why so many open houses in Winter Garden? The reason is because they are so effective -- not only by instantly spreading notice that a property is seriously entering the market, but also by creating a firm target date - a day when all concerned agree that the property will be in peak 'showability' condition. Open houses are like showings on steroids. With dozens of visitors in the offing, there's little doubt that every effort will go into preparing for them. Along those lines, every agent will tell you that a tidy home is far more tempting than one that looks too lived-in.  The New York Times recently offered the assessment that decluttering is vital because "most real estate is aspirational, and buyers want to see themselves in som... 02/10/2013

Winter Garden Investors Buy Foreclosed Homes - Sometimes! With the Fed having announced its intention to hold interest rates near 0% until at least mid-2015, even very cautious investors are recognizing that this provides a rare opening. If ever there were a time to start a real estate portfolio, it's hard to imagine a better one. For many, the first question is whether there is still an opportunity to buy foreclosed homes in Winter Garden. That answer is yes, for sure - but that is not always the only strategy that will get you to your goal. It all depends on you. Before we can develop your strategy, you first need to decide which type of real estate investor you wish to be:   The Fix-and-Flip Investor - This type of investor is handy (or has a lot of contacts who are), and is familiar... 01/23/2013

Longevity Factors into Winter Garden Home Sale Decisions “Longevity planning” is not something most youthful or middle-aged Winter Garden residents spend a lot of time thinking about. “Getting old?” Who wants to dwell on that? Joseph Coughlin, the director of the AgeLab at MIT, pushes for changing that attitude when it comes to home sale decisions. He points out that a 65-year-old woman today can plan to live past 85 -- far longer than her parents did. If her budget plans match theirs, the result will be a serious shortfall in later years. It may be more doable than you'd think. The Brooking Institution recently reported that a home sale in a good school district totals (on average) 2.4 times more than one in a less child-focused district. Once schooling is no longer at issue, being wil... 01/22/2013

Biggest Mistake a Home Buyer can make. The biggest mistake that a home buyer can make is not having an open mind. A buyer with a pre-conceived picture of what a house in their budget should look like will only end in disappointment.  Regardless if a home buyer is spending $100,000 or $1,000,000 no house will be perfect...not even a brand new house.  The biggest mistake that a home buyer can make is to only look for and only see the the flaws on each property.  I am not saying to ignore the flaw, but rather see if the flaws are something that you can either live with or change later. The happiest home buyers are those that view each house with an optomistic eye and open mind to see if that house may work for them.  With a new attitude, the home buyer will not make the Biggest Mistake a H... 08/10/2012
