            <title>Just Sold in Courtside of Broken Sound Country Club ~ This was a Short Sale</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
&nbsp;

I just sold this gorgeous courtyard home in the Courtside subdivision of Broken Sound Country Club. For those of you who don't know the lingo, a Courtyard Home is one in which the swimming pool and patio are in the front of the house. You usually enter through the entrance doors into a courtyard and then the front door of the house is through the courtyard. Many courtyard homes in Boca Raton have detached guest houses as well.

&nbsp;

This stunning home in Broken Sound Club has four bedrooms and four baths in the main house, in addition to a one bedroom suite guest houses. It has beautiful Brazilian wood floors throughout, and over 3400 square feet in total.&nbsp;

Broken Sound Club is an equity country club in a fabulous central Boca Raton location.&nbsp;

This was a Boca Raton short sale, which was subject to the lender approving a short payoff of the loan. My lucky buyer was able to acquire this special property for $537,000. It was originally listed in August of 2009 for $815,000. The sellers paid $730,000 for the house in May 2005. The entire short sale process took only about three months from contract submission to the successful closing. When a short sale works out like this, everyone benefits: The buyers got a great house at a fantastic price; the lender ends up netting more than in a forecosure; and the seller is able to avoid foreclosure and get a fresh start financially. A winning proposition!&nbsp;

Please call me if you are underwater on your mortgage and want more information about selling in a short sale.

            <title>Just sold 7865 Trieste Place in Addison Reserve Country Club</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 




I just sold this awesome house in Trieste in Addison Reserve Country Club in Delray Beach Florida. It closed on April 30, 2010 and was listed in late February 2010. The buyers will be using this as a vacation home and got a great buy at $500,000 for the property which was listed at $619,000. With three bedrooms, three baths, a gorgeous pool and spa and golf course view, with a transferable golf membership. Although the membership equity is a separate fee, not all homes in Addison Reserve come with full golf and those that do generally command a higher price since the golf memberships are limited and there is a lengthy waiting list. The house was built in 1999 and was in excellent condition, as a matter of fact the buyer purchased all the furniture in a separate transaction so really can just bring their toothbrush and move right in! 

I do sell many homes in Boca Raton country clubs and although the expenses do get steep, for those that enjoy the golf and country club lifestyle, it is a great way to enjoy living in South Florida! Please contact me if you would like me to send you the current fee schedule for all of the country clubs in the Boca Raton and Delray Beach Real Estate area.

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
&nbsp;

We are happy to announce the successful closing of our listing at 17052 Boca Club Blvd in the Greens development of Boca Country Club. These Boca Raton Real Estate&nbsp;buyers are a lovely couple from the New York area who will be using the townhouse as a vacation home.&nbsp;The sellers are from Venezuela, and recently bought another property in Broken Sound Country Club.

This property was on the market for less than sixty days, and sold for 87% at the asking price. A 3 bedroom 2000 square foot townhouse, it sold for $240,000. The average days on market for homes of this type in Boca Raton is currently 212 and the average sell price to list price ration is 85%, so needless to say, our sellers were very happy with this result in the current market!

            <title>Top Country Club in Boca Raton, FL - Royal Palm Yacht &amp; Country Club</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Top Country Club in Boca Raton,
 FL - Royal Palm Yacht &amp;
Country Club



As one of the most sought after communities within South
 Florida for the past 50 years, the Royal Palm Yacht &amp; Country
Club has certainly got some history to be proud of.&nbsp; Originally
being constructed back in the late 1950s, this was to become quoted as being
&quot;the most desirable residential address in Florida&quot;, with larger than surrounding home
site lots and prestigious amenities.



During the same time period the original Yacht Club and Country Club
buildings, designed by Architect Robert Fitch Smith were built, costing
approximately $750,000, which in the 1950's was a tremendous financial
statement.&nbsp; Amenities include:




Swimming Pool

Spa

Boating

Golf

Tennis

Clubhouse

Basketball

Exercise Room

Extra Storage

Garage Parking

Boat Docks




One of the greatest highlights of the Royal Palm Yacht &amp; Country
Club is the golf course.&nbsp; The original golf course was designed by
Robert Trent Jones Sr. back in 1959.&nbsp; In 2002, a Jack Nicklaus Signature
golf course was redesigned to meet the needs of today's competitive golfers and
amateurs alike.



Currently there are over 75 properties available for sale with this
community, from a brand new Georgian mansion with 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms,
resort style pool and patio with separate entertainment pavilion and loggias
for $13,995,000 to a modest 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom ranch homes including a guest
house with bedroom and bath of its own for $675,000. 



Originally 745 lots were available for sale, consisting of 229 waterfront,
285 golf course and 231 interior lots. There are now less than 700, due to
owners buying an adjoining lot to increase their property size.&nbsp; In some
cases, several lots are adjoined. 



The Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club has a mandatory homeowners association fee through RPIA (Royal Palm Improvement Association) which is an annual fee of $2,311 per lot. For new members there is a $1,000 application fee. (It is worth noting that there has never been a special assessment in the past 50 years within this community.)


So, if you are looking for a place to call home, where approximately 85% of the other residents are proud to call it home year-round too, then this is the place for you.  Call me for more information at 1-561-866-7584.
