There's Considerably More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard. See What You Should Know...  If a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, do you know how you would handle the following questions? "How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" "How does your home compare to others like it in Ft. Lauderdale, Weston and Plantation?" "Can you help with the financing? "If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" "Why aren't you using a Realtor? Is there something wrong with the property?" "Since you aren't using a Realtor, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your lifetime. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car except for the fact that buyers will want to buy it for as little as possible. Every home is different and there are many factors in determing the right selling price. How do your determine the real market value in today's market? Even with all the For Sale By Owner companies starting up everywhere, the fact remains that almost all homes are sold using a Realtor. As a top real estate professional, it is my job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. I am experienced in preparing your home for sale, marketing it both locally in Ft. Lauderdale, Weston and Plantation and nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of these things before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. Remember: Buyers will want to offer you as little as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers - "Inexperienced Owner Handling Sale - Bargain!" If you want to sell your own home, it would still benefit you to let me give you a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your home, and I'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what I feel it is worth. I'll also describe, as an experienced, top Ft. Lauderdale, Weston and Plantation Realtor, how I would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. Simply fill out the form and I will quickly get back to you...

First Time Buyers >The Perfect House Home buyers must often deal with deferred maintenance or repairs. For example, you may have found a terrific house and like many competent home buyers, you included a structural inspection contingency in your purchase agreement. What happens when you find out that your "perfect" house needs some work? Do you ask the sellers to pay for the repairs? Before you answer "yes", there are some important considerations.
Some contracts require that all of the home's systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical and central air conditioning, be in working order. In this case, the sellers may be obligated to repair any problems with these systems. Leaky roofs, damp basements, or other structural problems may not be covered, however. If you ask the sellers to make these types of repairs, you may void the contract by doing so. The sellers might prefer to negotiate the repairs to keep from losing the sale. If there are other buyers waiting in the wings with back-up contracts, you run the risk of losing the home.
