Phew it's been a year of hard work and dedication to not only myself but to my clients and my business. Through that hard work and dedication I have been able to achieve RE/MAX's coveted Platinum Club Status.
I wasnt sure if I would be able to do it but with 40 days left in the year, it's official! I want to give a big Thank You to all my customers who continue to refer me to their friends and family and who allowed me to help them with their biggest and most special financial purchase in one's life.
It's been an honor working with and building relationships with each and everyone of you and I look forward to many more great years to come!
My grandmother always said when the streets run red with blood buy buy buy! Now is the time people, a down market is a great time to purchase, the sad part is most people do it backwards and jump on the band wagon when things are good and get into bad situations. Take advantage of this down market and invest in your future, plus for most of you Uncle Sam is giving out FREE money.

As a first time home buyer there are generally many stresses that come along with purchasing that first home, almost like planning a wedding. You want everything to be perfect, you want the whole thing to be beautifully orchestrated and when it's not just right, when one little thing goes slightly in the wrong direction first time home buyers tend to freak out and go into panic mode.
With the right Buyer's Agent in your corner this shouldnt be the issue. The Realtor is there to help asses your fears and the situation and disseminate the problem. A good agent often times wont even let you know the hurdles or problems that occurred just like a good wedding planner.
So here are some tips from working with hundreds of first time home buyers like yourself that might help calm your fears or anxiety.
1. Take a deep breath and step back for a second. There will most likely be a few events that arise in the process of purchasing your first time home that feel like major hurdles or road blocks. Remember when you have a good agent that is what they get paid to do is take care of those speed bumps and get you towards your finish line. So take a deep breath, now if your agent sucks completely freak out and RUN! (just kidding)
2. If you are unsure about a step in the home buying process or just want affirmation on purchasing your Orlando home ASK dont be afraid to speak up and say I dont understand or could you affirm something has been done, when will or should this take place. Sometimes even the best of agents can forget to mention something or often get caught up in their day to day Real Estate lingo and might say something you dont quite understand.
Remember no two deals are alike but your Orlando Buyers Agent has the training and knowledge to get you through your hurdles and on your way to home ownership. So it's important to not just choose any agent. It's important to interview the agent make sure you guys are going to mess and even throw in a scenario or two to see how that agent might react. You are spending your hard earned money on your new home and want to make sure your agent is working hard for you!

Just listed a new investment property in Clermont on the shores of Lake Minneola. This great REO property has 7 buildings and 9 rental units ranging from 1/1 to 2/1 units. All units have fresh paint and new carpet. In the past the 2/1 units have rented for as much as $1000/mo however a more realistic average is $600. Property is also a great investment for later tear down and rebuild as most homes that sit along this shore are million dollar properties.
This bank owned property is listed at $425,000 and the bank is looking for an offer. If you are looking for a 10% cap rate then this is the property for you.

I have negotiated a deal with a local builder who is trying to sell off their inventory right here in Oviedo. There is a limited quantity of these units availble at this pre-negotiated price. These are NOT condo conversions and are newly built town homes.
