Continued From Part Deux - Buyers and Sellers Have Feelings Too

We all know someone that somehow seems to be unhappy with whatever they do or how they do it or actually never happy with us no matter how much we try to please them to make them happy. It could be our mom or dad, spouse, child, teacher, or boss...a home buyer or a home seller.

I once had a prospective buyer who was not happy with my services no matter how many 'extra miles' I went for them or how much time I spent with them looking for properties for them online. This included going to the premises and taking more images, acquiring floor plans...can you believe it? Not that I actually did it but, why did I even think of allowing this predicament? I was saying yes to my buyer because I felt desperate to ‘sell'. Give me anything, (single-family homes, residential income, commercial properties, bulk REO's) I'll do it!! Having experience with diversified real estate channels can be a blessing or can it be a curse?

The ethical and professional standards for a Realtor are to constantly seek self-improvement on an educational, social, and professional level to better serve their customers.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR), the worlds largest professional real estate organization encourages Realtor's to seek additional real estate educational classes and seminars to continuously further their education, and "...promote professionalism and improve ethical standards helping to mark the true professional". The NAR also discourages Realtors from dealing with specializations that they are not adept to.

Eradicating the thought that ‘one bad apple does not spoil the whole tree' arises a public morality that categorically defines the failure or success of a real estate professional. Ingenuity however refines an establishment that basically enforces action to act upon our character; otherwise it may become difficult to build our reputation on genuine professional standards including the way we handle our business.

Like a Beautiful Diamond, Character is Formed by Pressure and Polished by Friction

Building Character = Self-Respect.

It may have been written time and time again how the media justifies the real estate industry as a 'remarkable phenomenon' (unlike anything else) that evolves a destructive industrialist pattern in how we deal with buyers and sellers. In the past and until present, some real estate professionals were and are still offering castles in the sky to home buyers on home buying when in actuality most of the buyers from the 2005-2006 real estate/mortgage/financing saga erupted false loan applications. These were buyers where they were not supposed to be given a pen to sign with in the first place...

Hollywood FL condos for sale-Canadians are coming to Hollywood Beach FL 

  Hollywood Beach FL

Hollywood FL condos near the beach

September is the start of when our snowbirds and tourists start returning to our sunshine state. Snow fall will be forthcoming and this is the time for them to start their holiday vacations and what better than to spend it in our very warm and comfortable climate. The weather in Hollywood Beach FL has been overcast and in the 90's but in the fall it's usually comfortable and virutally less in humidity.

With such an inflated amount of condos for sale in Hollywood FL....."it is an excellent time buy a home." Prices have come down quite a bit over the last 3 years and inventory levels have reached all time highs. But there was one thing we discovered.

Inventory over the last few years has been properties that are on the verge of foreclosure ..while many others have gone the route of trying to have a Realtor® negotiate a short sale. Banks are trying to give the sellers the option of negotiating a short sale to save both parties thousands of dollars and save the owners from going into foreclosure. The biggest issue with these types of transactions is the waiting time. Most will take anywhere from 3-12 months. But don't fret...there are still some properties available that can be had without all those hassles...you just have to search for them....and finding a good agent to send you properties is the key and the Bloom and Kohn Team of Keller Williams Properties can help you with that. All you have to do is send us an email request with the property criteria search you are looking for.

As of today...the Canadian dollar exchange rate have been holding right below $1.00. That is still good news for our past,present and future clients. In general .."it is a great time to buy a home in Hollywood Beach FL." Currently..there are over 15,000 condos/townhomes on the market throughout Broward County...... about 1,400 of them are Condos/Town-homes in Hollywood FL.

Take a strol on the fully renovated board walk...stop by a restuarant or just grab a pizza.

Come visit the beach of Hollywood FL today.

You will be glad you looked at all the opportunities available.

Dryer vent cleaning prevents dryer fires, prolongs the life of your appliance and reduces energy costs. When you are folding your laundry do you notice holes in your clothes that were not there before? New clothes are torn, sweaters are snagged and there are holes in your underwear! Or worse yet, clothes have a smoky smell when they should be clean. What is going on?

The smoky smell is easy to explain. You probably had a small lint fire inside the cabinet of your dryer. If this is the case, you're very lucky it was a small fire. This is a rare occurrence; most people who experience a fire caused by lint build-up will have more than just a small fire. Even though the lint filter catches most of the lint, some escapes to the dryer ducts that lead to the vent outside. Lint is flammable and when it builds up it restricts air flow, causing overheating and eventually a fire.

This is not something to be taken lightly! Your dryer is more likely to start a fire than any other appliance in your home. Clothes dryers are the cause of over 15,000 fires annually; failure to properly clean and maintain dryer vent systems is the leading cause of dryer fires.

Some things should not be put in the clothes dryer, like bath mats, rugs with rubber backing or delicate clothing. These items should be air dried to prevent them from losing their shape. Also, be careful not to put items into the dryer if they are soaked or stained with motor oil, gasoline or other flammable products, even if they have been washed! Combustible residue can remain. It's best that these items be air dried and not be stored near the clothes dryer.

Dryer exhaust maintenance is recommended annually by a professional dryer vent cleaning and repair specialist. They do more than just clean the vents and inside the dryer. A specialist will also inspect the system to be sure it meets current building and safety codes.

There are also parts of a dryer that can become worn and cause damage to clothing. These are not fire hazards, but still, it is frustrating to have your clean clothes come out of the dryer damaged. Felt-like seals in the dryer drum become worn and clothing can get caught in the gap and torn.

Another item to check is the lint filter; it could be worn and have sharp edges where clothing gets caught and tears. If this is the case, it is important to replace it since this is where most of the lint removed from your clothing is trapped. Holes in the lint filter allow more lint to escape in the vent system which can cause a fire.

When the glides, rollers, wheels or drum bearings become worn, there will be play in the dryer drum, causing it to be thrown off balance. Clothes can get pinched in between moving parts of the dryer causing damage.

Over-drying also causes damage to clothing. Try not to mix very heavy materials with lighter fabrics as different weights of fabric require different drying times. Prevent your clothes from coming out wrinkled by removing them immediately when the dryer stops rather than leaving them sit. Be sure to wash clothes in the correct water temperature and dry with the correct cycle. Most clothing has a label with care instructions printed on it; follow these instructions for the best results.

Proper dryer maintenance is the key to preventing fires and damage to clothing. A clogged dryer vent will cause your dryer to work harder and take more than one complete cycle to properly dry your clothes. Worn parts in the dryer can damage clothing. The service charge for a professional inspection and dryer vent cleaning is minimal compared to the possible damage caused to your dryer, your clothing, and your home in the event of a fire!
