Because of a myriad of legal and paperwork issues, many banks have halted the sales process of their REO (real estate owned) bank owned properties while the investigation into the improper actions takes place. This is leaving many pending sales in limbo, including several pending contracts that we are working with. More banks are threatening to follow suit and freeze their pipeline of foreclosure sales as well.
Many of our clients are investors, and are

As agents bring potential buyers through your home, we call them afterward as they provide valuable information to help us make your property more desirable. In today's competitive South Florida market, it is vital that we find out as much information as possible about the buyer's opinion of your house.

Please allow me to vent. I was just scheduling some showings to take a buyer out to see some two bedroom condos in Regency in Boca Pointe.

The essentials can be rearranged to present a neat appearance instead of being haphazardly thrown into the closet.
If you have too much stuff in your Boca Raton, FL house, take it to storage. Do not stack boxes in rooms that people will be inspecting. The only items that need to be left are essential items and furniture that displays the purpose of the room.
