921 DEWBERRY DR S ~ UNDER CONTRACT IN 5 DAYS! ~ JULINGTON CREEK HOMES FOR SALE (ST. JOHNS FL)

921 Dewberry Dr S

This is what can happen when everyone in a transaction is working together. The Sellers were educated about current market conditions, supply and demand, and were willing to price their home to the market to receive maximum number of showings - opportunities to sell their home.

The Sellers did every single detail that we discussed, down to stripping wallpaper in a bathroom and painting. They also ordered granite that was installed today, three days after we received a contract. They decluttered rooms and closets, cleaned the carpet and cleaned the house.

Mrs. Seller made home baked cookes and fresh coffee for every showing. The Buyers and their agent commented on this extra touch. They felt very welcome in the home and comfortable making an offer.

We had five showings and an offer was generated. There was another party who expressed a desire to put in an offer, but the timing didn't work for them or the Sellers.

Now we are on to inspections, the finance contingency, and working with the Sellers on the myriad of details that go into selling a home.

Congratulations to everyone working on this team to bring this home to the closing table.

Do Banks Have to Do the Right Thing Too????????????

I really didn't think that I would have a part 2 to the story of Mercantile Bank/ Carolina First discontinuing their use of the Florida Bond Money program but I was wrong.

I thought that when the word came down from the head of their mortgage division that they would stop utilizing this very valuable program that they would honor the agreements that they had with customers approved through them, silly me. I thought they would just honor the current agreements and not accept any more Florida Bond Money loans.

There has been a lot of talk on Active Rain about honoring commitments to the banks. Are banks not held to the same standard? Ok, so you say well they never signed any promise, but what about just doing the right thing? There are many customers some of which are mine that have been through underwriting, told they were approved and now denied do to no fault of their own. This was a decision that the bank made not the Feds.

Before you say tough cookie, place yourselves in the shoes of these customers. Customers that followed the rules had the required scores, paid $400 for appraisals, at least 400 for home and WDO inspections and were scheduled to close. As far as I know the bank is not even considering reimbursing these funds. Who in this day has that kind of money to just throw away? How would you feel?

I hope they change their minds and at least consider refunding a portion if not all of the funds that they these homeowners have shelled out. We'll see won't we?

Jacksonville FL residents It's Do or Die Time for the Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville FL residents, it is do or die time for our beloved Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags struggled all this past season with little support from the fans causing the entire season to be blacked out. There is even talk of our Jaguars leaving to graze in greener pastures.

This week they will be sending out over renewal notices to over 25,000 season ticket holders. Two thousand season tickets have already been sold way ahead of this time last year. They are pulling out of the stops to get season ticket holders to renew. From contest to payment plans.

The deals are so great I may even consider purchasing tickets for my family. Let's keep the Jags here in Jacksonville FL where they belong.

Bad News for Jacksonville FL Homebuyers using the Florida Bonda Program

Potential Jacksonville Fl homebuyers have been dealt a major blow when it comes to down payment and closing cost assistance while using the Florida Bond program. It seems that Mercantile Bank - Carolina First has decided that they no longer want to do business with Jacksonville FL homebuyers that utilize the Florida Bond program for down payment and closing cost assistance.

This is unfortunate because one of my favorite loan officers Robin Heath is employed there. We have closed many deals together most of them utilizing the Florida Bond program. The Florida Bond program assists Jacksonville FL first time home buyers with down payment and closing cost assistance of up to $7,500 towards the purchase of their first home. It is and has always been an awesome program. It's so awesome in fact that my husband and I used this very program in 2002 to purchase our first home. This is why I am and have always been a huge supporter of the program.

That is the bad news; the good news is that many other Jacksonville FL lenders see the value in utilizing the Florida Bond program, so all is not lost. We are still able to make many dreams come true future Jacksonville FL homebuyers.
