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.  Let our full service, aggressive marketing plan for you you!

Should Homebuyer Tax Credit Be Extended Yet Again?

Word on the streets is that the National Association of Realtors (NAR) is again lobbying lawmakers to extend the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit until the end of 2010.

But, Senator Johnny Isakson, former real estate agent and last year’s advocate for the 2nd extension, is not on board.  Last November, Linda Goold, NAR’s director of tax policy practically told the public and Realtors that the second tax credit extension would be the last one.

Can the government afford to extend the tax credit for a third term?  Where are we getting all of this money since are deficit is at a record high level?

If the government extends the tax credit for a third time, it will help the real estate market.  But, when the credit was extended in November, many buyers went “back on the fence” knowing that they had more time to purchase and still receive the $8,000 tax credit.  Sales in November to February have been slow as buyers have more time to wait.

If the government announces that there will be no further extension, then there will be a strong urgency for potential buyers to purchase properties by the March 31st deadline!  Please read my article on the tax credit guidelines by clicking:  FHA Mortgage Guidelines Will Tighten In The Spring

As FHA mortgage guidelines tighten in the Spring and Summer of 2010, the tax credit extension could certainly help the market for the long run!  We here at the Parkland Parrot will keep you posted as soon as new information is supplied to the real estate community.
