Recent Changes Made to Escrow Rules *Be in the Know
The Florida Real Estate Commission amended its Rule regarding escrow deposits that apply to sale and purchase contracts where the Attorney or Title Company is the escrow agent. Rule 61J2-14.008 of the Florida Administrative Code now requires Licensees, who prepare or present an offer to indicate the Name, Address and Telephone number of the Attorney or Title Company that will serve as Escrow Agent. The most recent versions of the FAR and FAR/BAR contract forms provide the space needed to write the necessary information.
Within three business days after a deposit is due--either an initial deposit or an additional one--the licensee's broker must make a written request to the escrow agent for a written verification that the deposit has been made. Within 10 business days after making the request for written verification, the licensee's broker must provide the seller's broker--or the seller directly if the seller has no broker--with a copy of the written verification provided by the escrow agent, or written notice that the licensee's broker did not receive verification from the escrow agent.
All communication must be in writing.

In Today's Competitive Real Estate Market, timing is Everything. Buyers today are move value conscious than ever before and they know what they want. According to the National Association of Realtors, Buyers are beginning their home search anywhere from 6 to 12 months prior to their move date. Greater than 80% of all Home Searches are completed thru the Internet. Another Fact is that Buyers want to see Multiple Picutures, Virtual Tours and detailed Information on a house.
Selecting a Realtor is just as important as selecting the right Home to buy. Kathy Hyatt is a South Florida Native serving South Florida for 20 years that has the Experience and Knowledge you must have in our fiercely competive Market that I love and refer to as "Beautiful South Florida Living"
Yes, Selling Real Estate is much different than what it use to be. In Today's Market you need a Real Estate Professional who is not only knowledgable in all aspects of real estate, but who also Aggresively use the internet to Market your Home. It takes 3 things to Sell a House. They Are: Exposure, Condition and the Right Price. Exposure is the responsibility of the Real Estate Professional you Hire. Condition and Price are in the Seller's control. All three working together is the only way to guarantee a sale for your home. I advertise on over 50 Web Sites making sure Buyers see you Home First!
Buying or Selling a home can be an overwhelming and often a complicated experience, however given Kathy's incredible ability to anticipate and intercept problems before they occur, Buyers and Sellers can relax and enjoy the excitement. Kathy understands that a Home, regardless of its price, holds and reflects the value of your Life's investment.

My approach to Real Estate is straight forward, honesty with open communication combined with strong people skills.

Prior to being a licensed Realtor, I worked in the Mortgage Industry for over 15 years. Initially I processed loans and soon after started underwriting loans for FHA and VA. Along with an extensive knowledge of Real Estate, Good Communication Skills were developed along with my keen attention to detail.

Thanks to Kathy we are Homeowners!! As first time homebuyers we had alot of questions and concerns. Kathy was great to work with and listened to us and understood our wants and needs. She found us our perfect home and was able to negociate the terms with the Seller where our offer was accepted! Kathy set us up with her loan officer, Mark with Platinum Home Mortgage. We can not Thank Mark enough for all his Patience and making the whole process as Stress Free as Possible. We are so grateful that we closed right on time and we really appreciated that Mark went to closing with us. Thank you Kathy and Mark. Greg and Francesca Johnson
Dear Kathy,Thank your for your time and patience in selling our home. Before my son and I met you we heard stories of how difficult it is to deal with realtors. Your posivive attitude changed our ideas of Realtors forever. Thanks to your Marketing Action Plan you sold our house and we can no begin our new life in Tennesse. Thank you again, Geri and Scott Ballus
We tried to sell our home on our own and it was a nightmare. We had no experience other than watching HGTV on television and without local knowldge of the market our results were less than spectacular. We were referred to Kathy and that all changed! Thank you for showing us the way Donnaven and Maxine Simms
I never thought we would find our dream home if it were not for you Kathy. I previously started searching for homes with a friend of ours who was an agent and got no results. It wasn't until we met you, that you took the time to listen to what we wanted and where we wanted to live that we found the perfect home for our family. Everytime we pull up to the drive way we think of you. Thank you for making it possible, I will always refer all our friends and family to you. Michelle Benson
