What is The Benefit of Buyer Broker Service Guarantee Agreement 305-395-0814

Isn't  it important to eliminate the frustration while buying your vacation, retirement or first time home in Florida Keys ?

 Invest your time upfront. With an agent who will represent your best Interest 

1) Signing with me puts you at the top of my priority list. Having numerous agents "working for you" means exactly ZERO of those agents will actually work for you. 

2) Signing with me legally binds me and codifies the agency relationship including that I will hold all your information confidential. 

3) Signing with me guarantees that if another buyer I am representing wants to put an offer on the same house that I won't represent that other buyer, so there is no conflict of interest. 

4) Realtors are required to have all agreement in writing according to our code of ethics. That includes agency agreements. Why would you work with an agent who would violate the code of ethics and work with you without having it all spelled out in writing? 

5) Signing with me does not obligate you to buy a house at all. It merely gives you the peace and comfort that I will be focused on your interests, and not just any person who calls me asking to go see houses.

Selling your Home in Florida Keys? Make Sure the Price is Right

Selling Your Home? Make Sure the Price Is Right!  Share this page with a friend

The best agent realizes that telling the homeowner the truth is more important than getting the seller to like them.

Experience and research proves that homes that experience a listing price reduction sit on the market longer, ultimately selling for less than similar homes.One great way to see this is with the chart below. The higher you price your home over its market value, the less potential buyers will actually see your home when searching.

One More Time… You Do Not Need 20% Down To Buy NOW

One More Time… 

You Do Not Need 20% Down To Buy NOW

A survey by Ipsos found that the American public is still somewhat confused about what is actually necessary to qualify for a #homemortgage #loan in today’s housing market. The study pointed out two major misconceptions that we want to address today. 

1. Down Payment

The survey revealed that consumers overestimate the down payment funds needed to qualify for a home loan. According to the report, 36% think a 20% down payment is always required. In actuality, there are many loans written with a down payment of 3% or less.  Share this link with a friend or family member. www.SearchFloridaKeysHomes.com 

Many renters may actually be able to enter the housing market soonerhttp://www.SearchFloridaKeysHomes.com  than they ever imagined with new programs that have emerged allowing less cash out of pocket.

2. FICO Scores

The survey also reported that two-thirds of the respondents believe they need a very good credit score to buy a home, with 45 percent thinking a “good credit score” is over 780. In actuality, the average FICO scores of approved conventional and FHA mortgages are much lower.

The average conventional loan closed in March had a credit score of 753, while FHA mortgages closed with a 685 score. The average across all loans closed in March was 722. The graph below shows how the average FICO Score required has come down over the last 12 months and has stayed around 722 for the last six months.

Bottom Line

If you are a prospective buyer who is ‘ready’ and ‘willing’ to act now, but are not sure if you are ‘able’ to, sit down with a professional who can help you understand your true options.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, you can look at the picture of a home in which you are interested and it clicks. Other times, you look at the picture and you just can't seem to connect with it. Either way, in order to determine if a home you see on paper or on the Internet is the ONE, you really need to see it in person.
