I currently sell Real Estate in the Tampa Real Estate Market, and I use to sell Real Estate in MA on Cape Cod. If you are not familiar with Cape Cod, it is basically an island with a couple of bridges. Anyway, I remember looking at some property that said they were Water view. When I was there at the home, I could not figure out how in the heck this was water view. I mean, it was a good 3 or so miles from the water, had homes and trees all around it for miles, and soon thought it was a typo. ... Read Full Post
Interesting article just published in one of the magazines I get from being a member of the Florida Association of Realtors. The data was put together by the National Association of Realtors for the Florida Association of Realtors (say that 10 times fast). Anyway, I am a huge advocate of Social Networking which most of you already know. I Blog, Vlog, have accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, etc and most of that works for me automatically with some maintenance on a weekly basis. Being in ... Read Full Post
Boy, I must just love writing about this...or should I say complain about this. I have read the reports and blogs indicating that the banks are getting short sale friendly...I guess I just don't see it. It must be some bank like "Freds Bank" that is getting friendly because the big boys don't seem to be reacting that way. So property in the Tampa Short Sale process are likely to yield the bank more money than if they transition into the Tampa Foreclosures category. But hey, what do I know, I ... Read Full Post
Here we go again (or at least here I go again). The Tampa Market has been pretty active lately, especially for Tampa Foreclosures, Bank owned and Short Sales. I can tell you for a fact that people want to buy homes, have the money and the credit scores to do it with (my wife has one client that has a score of 825) and the offers are being written (my wife, in the past 2 weekends has written up no less than 13 offers) and with all this going on, cannot get more than 10% of those to the next le...

You hear this all the time in the news now, Foreclosures, Short Sales, REO, Repossessed, Bank Owned, etc...what the heck is the difference between all of these.

Tampa Foreclosures - This is a home that has or is going through the foreclosure process, in other words, the l... Read Full Post
It has been a rather interesting few past days in the Tampa Real Estate Market. We have brought alot of clients through homes and I have begun to see a pattern. I do not actually take the clients out, my wife handles alot of those where as I take on the commercial clients (I needed to say that or she would kill me), but what I have noticed is that everyone wants "A Deal". Not just any deal, but a deal where the bank is involved. For some reason, and maybe because the media has made this whole... Read Full Post
I tried an experiment today. My best friend in the world just came back from Russia where he has been for the past 10 months. He has been there playing hockey (he happens to be a pro hockey player, use to play in the NHL but left to play in Russia for a few years). Anyway, he is younger than I am and looks up to me to help him out where he needs help. So, he asked me to take a ride today to Home Depot. I reluctantly said yes and left my phone and laptop at home. We went to Home Depot and boug... Read Full Post
Ok, I am a Realtor so you are probably thinking "What the heck is this guy talking about". Let me tell you, that Title is the Truth and I will explain why. I am a listing agent so I list property. My wife is a Buyers Agent so she helps buyers, and so on. Well, my side is not a problem. An agent calls me up, wants to see one of my listings, I make the arrangements if needed and your good to go. As a Buyers Agent, especially in the Tampa Real Estate Market, at least that is my market, a Real Es... Read Full Post
I find myself becoming the center of all things in the office...probably because I try to teach everyone the benefits of sharing their talents with others in the office and dedicated alot of my own free time to help people. Because of this, I have become somewhat involved in other peoples lives. I know things about people that for whatever reason, they kept private but were looking for a vessel to unload stress that was building up regarding their issues. I have one agent in the office, I wou... Read Full Post
I guess I am one of the only one who actually blogs about the great things that happen to me...my trials and tribulations sort a speak. Well, had another fantastic day today. Let me tell you how it went (I figured this would be good for a laugh for everyone). The day started out fine, went into the office to help other agents with their tech questions for the day. I had a full schedule set up for the day and my wife had clients that she was out with showing Tampa Real Estate to. Anyway, all i... Read Full Post
