Seller Makes $15,000 More By Using Parkland Parrot Real Estate Team Over By Owner
Thinking about selling your Parkland or South Florida home without a real estate professional? Are images of yesterday’s real estate market flashing before you? Well, times have change, and it certainly takes more than just throwing a for sale sign in your front yard in order to sell your home for top market dollar!
The Parkland Parrot Real Estate Team met Mr. & Mrs. Kazner while they were attempting to sell their home on their own. The Kazners really needed guidance throughout the selling process. Before listing their home with our team, they had an offer on their home from “supposed” buyers. Unfortunately, the buyers were not fully qualified, and they were trying to “steal” the home.
Many people do not realize when you sell your home without the services of a real estate professional, you can open your door to non-qualified buyers that may be looking for a steal of a deal! Investors will also come knocking trying to take advantage of you, because they know you have no representation. These investors also know that you are not paying a real estate commission and will adjust their offer by 6% or more.
After listing their home, our team was able to have it under contract and sold in less than 60 days for the highest price in the neighborhood. In fact, the Kazners made an additional $15,000 by using our services than they would selling by owner.
The moral of this true story is that times have changed, and it is essential to list your home with a Realtor that specializes in your neighborhood. Please read our article: 23 Questions Sellers Must Ask When Interviewing A Realtor to help during your interview process. Remember, your home is one of your largest financial assets, so seek an expert Realtor for guidance. Call us today for your complimentary home analysis and customized marketing plan.

First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Expires in ONLY 43 Days
Calling ALL Homebuyers and Home Sellers! Real Estate is RED HOT right now!
The $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit will expire on April 30, 2010. This means that all potential first-time homebuyers, or buyers that have not owned a primary residence for the past 5 years, must have an executed purchase agreement in place by April 30,2010 and close at the end of June.
Buyers are NOT looking for short sales, as these homes will most likely not be able to close before the end of June. As a result, potential home sellers should get off of the fence and list their homes on the market for sale, as buyers are willing to pay a premium in order to receive the $8,000 tax credit.
Many of our clients, both buyers and sellers, are asking if we feel that the first-time home buyer tax credit will be extended again. I recently wrote an article addressing entitled: Should Homebuyer Tax Credit Be Extended Again?
We would be surprised if the government extended the $8,000 first time homebuyer tax credit based on the information provided to the real estate community. But, even if the tax credit is extended, FHA guidelines will tighten making now the best time to buy or sell real estate!

Parkland Real Estate Home Market Update February 2010
There were 19 total sales for the month of February, 2010 ranging in price from $216,000 to $1,650,000. Of the total sales in the month of February, 11 were regular sales, 5 were short sales, and 3 were bank foreclosure sales.
Good news is that Parkland had 9 more total single family home sales in February than in January of this year. We have increased our sales momentum, which is good for our overall market.
Unfortunately, of the total 19 sales, 8 of them were distressed sales which proves that short sales and bank foreclosures will continue to have a negative impact on the real estate market.
On a brighter note, we expect to see more sales in the next three months as sales momentum from buyers should increase due to low interest rates, the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit, and knowing that FHA mortgage guidelines will tighten in the Spring and Summer months making now the best time to get off the fence and buy a Parkland home.
We are also proud to announce the closing of our Pine Tree Estates listing located at: 6920 NW 66TH AV, Parkland, FL 33067 in the month of February.

I Cannot Sell My Home Because Of Personal Attachment
Sellers’ Personal Attachment When Negotiating With Buyers
When a home seller decides to list his/her home on the market, they practically open their doors to any and all potential buyers. Homes become our private sanctuaries, and most people like their privacy! Also, many family memories are shared in homes during the years of ownership. We become personally attached to our homes as they are apart of our lives.
But, when listing your home on the market, sellers must separate their personal relationship to their homes and start thinking that selling their homes is a business decision, NOT a personal one!
One of our sellers cannot seem to separate his personal attachment to his property when negotiating multiple buyer offers on his property. We understand the many memories and personal feelings that his family has regarding why they truly believe that their home is special.
Unfortunately, current buyers do not put the same dollar amount on personal attachment, as they are merely looking at the numbers and the features and benefits of the home. With so many online tools available to potential buyers, sellers truly need to cut the umbilical cord!
Sellers also say that they need a certain amount of money to net from the sale of the home for moving and living expenses. Again, buyers are not going to pay more than fair market value! Do buyers care how much money the sellers need? No! Buyers have to worry about their own financial expenses. Isn’t it still a buyer’s market?
Realtors Do Not Just Sell Real Estate
In today’s economic uncertainty where the public is dealing with failed businesses, health issues, and job losses, it can be more difficult to operate as a real estate professional. When you think of a real estate agent, you may think that we just help people buy and sell properties. But, the real estate profession has also gone through dramatic changes over the past few years. There is much more that goes into being a real estate professional than just helping people buy and sell.
In the current real estate market, many of our clients are experiencing hardship such as a divorce, death in the family, or recent job loss. As a real estate consultant, we have to be patient and help our clients throughout the entire process. Many times we have to put on our psychology hats and really listen to our clients current situation and help them make the best life decision, which may not only be a real estate issue.
When clients do not return phone calls or sometimes do not value our time, we now take a step back and remember that their actions may not have anything to do with real estate. There are many personal issues that seem to arise during the process of buying or selling that may result in our clients becoming frustrated or emotional. As real estate consultants, we do not always know what is going on behind closed doors.
As a result, we must not take it personally and only think about ME. Instead, our team takes a different approach that involves a WE relationship with our clients. We understand that buying or selling a home is a team effort no matter how you look at it. We must have a very personable relationship with our clients and be accessible throughout the entire process in order for our clients to feel as comfortable as humanly possible.
