I wonder how many people in general look at their relationships with others and say, “Gee, I wish I had done this, or said that, or taken a little more time with so-and-so.” I’m really grateful for the many sides of people in my life and that I am getting to see and know all […]
Realtors have had to get very creative in promoting open houses. Traditional means of signs and flyers are just not enough in today’s world. Postcards and print advertising are expensive and less productive than ever. Realtors have largely turned to the Internet to reach more people and to exposure your listing to many more people than ever before. Conversations generated around social media postings, special events are proving to bring buyers to homes and to cause people to inquire about homes than ever before.
Meeting and networking with Chris Brown, Orlando Mortgage Broker at Certified Mortgage Planners has been one of the most valuable connections I have made in social networking. Sharing knowledge, especially knowledge born from experience and delivered from real-life and in real-time is helpful to me in working with buyers and sellers in my real estate […]
High utility rates in Tallahassee must be considered when purchasing homes. Working within a buyers budget and making sure home-buyers know the utility history of a property should be part of the research done prior to making an offer. It is part of the due diligence that Realtors incorporate into their responsibilities to their customers. check with the City and see if you qualify for a rebate before you make a purchase!
Face to face connections, social media connections and industry leadership participation are just a few ways to accomplish a viable, reliable real estate referral network. Picking up creative methods of marketing, utilizing the latest in technology and social media venues keeps me on my toes and reaching the customers I need to be successful and to sell properties for my customers
In the past few years, I have been working with many folks who are unable to purchase for one reason or another. Most times, it is lack of ability to get financed due to the increasingly strict guidelines for loan approval that are often problems that just need time to remedy.

Help me find a buyer! For viewing this or other listings contact Debbie Kirkland, Realtor
It’s a great time to buy Florida Real Estate. Over the past few months, sales across the State have increased 21%. That is really good news! Don’t miss the April 30th “contract deadline” to get your pick of homes negotiated and on it’s way to close before July 1, 2010!
April 6th and 7th are Great American Realtor Days in Tallahassee, FL. Realtors from across the state will gather on the Capitol Steps, and have meetings planned with their legislators to discuss critical real estate issues that are up for vote during this legislative season.
The time for locking into a purchase before April 30th is less than 5 weeks away. Get out there, get on some of this inventory, use some of your money for repairs if these homes are not quite perfect..negotiate for repairs, for closing costs, lock into some of the down-payment assistance programs that are available and get it done! The difference in a 30 yr.mortgage at 5.25% vs 7.00% is $192.26 a month! An increase in payment of almost $200.00! Still thinking of waiting?
If so,.. this may tip the scale…..You just reduced the amount of home you could purchase by $30,000 !! ….. Still thinking of waiting?
