supra_800



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. I have a listing there, which she saw online,  but she also wanted to see some other condos as well as mine. Four in total. Mine is easy to show. I have a key, plus it is on a supra lockbox for the convenience of co-operating Realtors. All the others required appointments with the listing agents. So I figured out the schedule, which is very dependent upon the promptness of the buyer client, and called the brokers to schedule the appointments. On two there was no problem. On the third, I caught the agent and his partner-wife on vacation. He said, “OH we are out of town for the week, sorry we can’t show it”. I was…

house in broken sound 

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.

 

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.

With short sales making up over twenty percent of all Boca Raton real estate listings, and over thirty percent of those listings under $400,000, it is time to answer some commonly held questions and misperceptions about short sales.

SHORT SALE MYTH #1: Short sales take 9-12 months and do not get approved.

This is the most difficult part of a short sale process for both buyers and sellers. The lenders are slammed with files and do not always respond promptly. And it is true that the lender will not look at a file without an executed purchase contract. However, I am finding that the process is becoming more streamlined and it is possible to get a response in a more timely manner. The average process is as follows:  Once there is an executed contract…

trieste_front_512

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…
