Hollywood Beach Florida Condo's For sale-Hollywood Florida
Hollywood Beach Florida
Hollywood Florida condos near the beach
The month of December is usually the start of when our snowbirds and tourists
return to the 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. Our weather here has been fabulous for weeks. The temperature in Hollywood Beach Florida has been mostly sunny in the 80's with virtually no humidity.
With such an inflated amount of condos for sale in Hollywood Florida....."it is an excellent time buy a home." Prices have come down quite a bit over the last 7 years and inventory levels are still pretty high. I've noticed that there are still many Canadians looking to buy condo's in Hollywood Beach Florida.
When we looked today...it showed that the Canadian dollar exchange rate has been hovering right under $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."
If you were to cross over to the west side of A1A you will find a different perspective of a premium location. By having the beach on the east side as well as the the awesome west side with views of the inter coastal waters.

I’ve been selling Real Estate for over 17 yrs. Most of my clients are from listings. I’m not saying that I don't work with buyers.... but the majority of inquiries I get are to list homes for sale. It’s something I’ve become pretty good at but I don’t know everything and I’m always learning new things.
When I take a listing…I have a set of questions that I will ask the homeowner. I need to find out as much as I can so in the end…there hopefully won’t be any surprises. Most homeowners are willing to tell you everything you need to know. Some prefer to keep certain personal things to them selves. I’m not looking to pry into their personal business unless it will materially affect the sale of their home.
Most of the questions that I ask them are general questions…for example…”When are you looking to move?” or “How much you owe on their mortgage. “ "If you put your home on the market…do you have a place to go?”
These are just a few of the questions that I might ask them. Over the last few year….I’ve added to my list and one of the most important questions I will ask them if it applies is “Are you aware of any open permits?" Typically the owner will already see this question as it is usually built into the sellers Real Property Disclosure. The problem is that sometimes people are too busy and distracted with other things. So when they fill out these disclosures…they don’t always pay close attention to that question. Also…sellers in my area are not obligated to fill them out any longer. It’s usually because they’ve inherited the property from a family member who might be deceased and they just decline to fill them out or sign them.
Here is when it makes my job a little harder….now I must make sure that before we close….there are no permits that are still open that might hold up a closing. I usually rely on the home owner to know whether or not they have any but after learning the hard way…I’ve decided that now I need to do a little more research just to make sure we are clear to close.
I’m briefly going to tell you about one that became a pretty big issue. I listed a home for someone who inherited a home that was previously owned by their father and also there was a live in girlfriend. After the father died….the girlfriend rented the home out for a few years. She had an arrangement to split all income with the deceased man’s son. After a few years …their agreement was to have her move on with her life and the son take over the property which included the tenant. "Sounds like a good deal right?” Well it was for a while….until the tenant stopped paying their rent. It was too difficult for the son to keep up with it as he was living in another state had not been to the property in many …many years and had no knowledge about the open permits. Eventually he was able to get the tenant out and we put the home on the market and within 60 days we were able to get a contract on the home. About 2-3 weeks before we were scheduled to close…I received a call from the title agent telling me that there were 3 open permits that were from 2005! HOLY MOLY! The agent told me that until these permits were closed and resolved…we couldn’t close.
Honestly…I was a bit nervous because the home was in a different county than where I did most of my business. The first thing I needed to do was look at the docket to see what the permits were for and then I had to call the building department to see how to resolve them…and quickly. The other problem was the we were approaching a major holiday and I knew if I did not act fast….we would never close on time. I drove an hour and a half out of my way and managed to meet in person with the head inspector of the building department. He was very helpful and explained what I needed to do to expedite this.
I had to drive about an hour out of my way down to the building department so I could pay for each permit to be reopened and then closed. My client needed to mail money to me first to pay for the permits and I had to fill out all the paperwork for him. I then had to meet 3 different inspectors at the property on 3 different days and basically sit in front until they showed up. The biggest problem that held everything up was that one of the items that were repaired had been inspected 3 times and all the times it failed. But There wasn’t any evidence as to why and I could not find out because the contractor was no longer in business!...YIKES!
Eventually I was able to get a new licensed contractor out there and had the item re-inspected and we finally closed. I did have to have the title agent hold money in escrow to only be released after we had verification in writing that the matter was resolved.
We closed and about a week later…the escrow was released to the seller.
So next time you list a property for sale….take a little more time to research it and make sure that there aren’t any open permits or it will surely hold up the sale of the property.
For the superior service that you deserve!

Thank you for listing our home at the Weston Hills Country Club for rent. You went beyond our expectations by renting it in 10 days and at a higher rate than our previous tenant. When we are ready to sell..you can bet that we will be calling you to list it for sale.
Julie and Jon Christie- Weston Hills Country Club Weston FL
Dear Neal,
I just wanted to thank you for all you did for my family and me during our recent purchase of a new home in Weston for my parents.
It is extremely refreshing to work with someone who is not only professional but also personable.
You went above and beyond what your professional duties required and truly made a potentially stressful and difficult process enjoyable and extremely efficient.
I have no doubt that your business will continue to grow given the quality of the service that you provide, and have absolutely no reservations about referring you to any of my friends or family members that are considering relocating.
Thank you again for all of your help and advice.
Sincerely,
Carlota Delgado-Weston FL
Neal sold 3 of my properties and also put my mother and I into a home we both can live in,
he also helped us out of a bind by selling one of the properties shortly after we closed on it.
I am going to list my current home with Neal and move North so I can retire and be closer to my family
Dolores Benson- Southwest Ranches Davie Florida
I am writing to express my satisfaction with realtor Neal Bloom .
I obtained the services of Neal Bloom to aid in the sales of our Pembroke Pines home and could not be happier with the results.
Neal was able to make what could have been a stressful and confusing experience one which was comfortable and enjoyable.
Neal was at all times professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
He explained the selling process to us in a way we were able to understand and answered all of our questions.
Neal went above and beyond his duty in many ways.
He was always available any time we had a question or concern, no matter if he was at his desk or in the middle of dinner.
The thing I appreciated the most was the fact that Neal attended every showing of our home.
My wife did not feel comfortable showing our home by herself and I was unable to be in town.
Neal made sure to be present with her for each and every showing.
Much to our delight, our house sold within twenty-four hours on the market for full price and Neal's superior service continued after we accepted the offer.
Neal kept in close touch with us and informed us of the progress and each step taken towards the closing. Neal also worked closely with the buyers realtor and made all of the proper measures to ensure that the closing would be on time and hassle free.
All in all, Neal Bloom made our selling experience a comfortable and pleasurable one.
I never expected so much from our real estate agent but, Neal seem more that happy to help in any and all ways that he could.
I would recommend Neal Bloom to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable and personable real estate agent who is willing to go that extra mile.
Sincerely,
Timothy Bickerstaff Pembroke Pines Florida
Neal has done 9 transactions with myself and members of my family over the last few years ,whether it was renting out our properties ,selling or buying others, we were very confident with his knowledge and protecting our better interest.

If I ever purchase or sell again, I will be calling him for all his real estate services.
Sam Garces-Coral Springs FL
Thanks for your help in finding me a home, you were there for me from contract to closing.
Carmen- Miramar FL
My wife and I are pleased to recommend Mr. Neal Bloom, a real estate agent for his integrity and professionalism.
Long before we assigned him as our listing agent for our property, he had been sending us free sales reports of our community continuously on bi-monthly basis for years. During the selling period, he recommended us to buy home warranty from American Home Shield, which greatly reduced our out-of-pocket expenses for appliances repairs.
The beauty was that the Warranty not only covered seller, but also home buyer at Closing for the remaining term of one year, so it gave "peace of mind" to the seller as well as the buyer.
When we had a question to ask or a suggestion to give, he's there to reply promptly.
He had provided latest sales within my community in time, thus helped us make better decisions.
We had an "Open House" three times, during which, he and his partner, Steve had been showing our house to prospect buyers in professional manner.
In our mind, Mr. Neal Bloom is the man you can rely on for real estate selling.
Andrew Ku-Pembroke Pines Florida
Neal was able to list and sell our property for a record price, we were in the process of relocating to GA and Neal made all the arrangements while we were going back and forth to GA, it was an easy closing and put nice people into our old home, which happend to be his new neighbors at the time.
He also referred us to a local agent in GA and we purchased another home and were delighted with the agent.
Richard and Doreen Richerson -Pembroke Pines FL
Dear Neal,
We really appreciate the time and effort you made in selling our property, you were there from the start and the finish and even after we closed we still confide in you for advice regarding the real estate market.
We also were happy to have you and your family as our neighbors for the past 5 yrs and continue to speak.
Thanks again your friends,neighbors and client.
Betty and Kirk VanRees-Pembroke Pines Florida
Dear Neal,
We appreciated all your diligent work and as well as the effort in marketing our property for sale,especially when you were able to help with some of the labor on some items we needed to take care of during the inspection, and opening the property yourself for every showing.
We were also impressed the way you took over all aspect of our deal when the selling agent was unavailable and out of town, we knew that you had our best interest in hand through out the the begining until the closing.
We were also alittle sad to lose a very nice neighbor we had the pleasure of knowing your family and having you over to our home many times for parties.
I am glad we still keep in touch.
Steve and Kathi Ericsson-Pembroke Pines Florida
I have worked with Neal on maybe a 1/2 dozen transactions in the past year and I find Neal to be very knowledgable about the real estate market, he seems to always keep me up to date on any major changes in the market that I myself might not have thought of.
He also is hard working , always following up when I purchase or have sold through him.
Howard Mack
FNJ Properties LLC Davie Florida

Thank you both going through the process of finding the condo in the building at Century Village... I wished to be in.
Sheila Zemel- Deerfield Beach FL
Steve Did a great job helping me finding the condo in Deerfield Beach, happy to work both of you again.
Miriam Klein- Deerfield Beach FL
Thanks for getting my home in Weston sold and getting me through this rough time.
Blanca Long-Weston Florida
Hi Steve and Neal,
Miriam and I would like to thank you for you efforts on our behalf.
You knew from the outset which unit we would buy even before we did. It wasn't even your own listing. You patiently took us around to look at other possibilities complete with doughnuts and coffee until we agreed with you.
After prolonged negotiatons, there was a ton of paperwork and countless glitches which had to be navigated. You got us through all of this without a hitch.
We moved in and are extremely delighted with the condo in Century Village. It needs a bit of work but we will overcome.
Thank you once again. We really appreciate all of your efforts.
We wish you good luck and please keep in touch.
Miriam and Mort Kapusta Deerfield Beach FL
Neal,
He went above and beyond our expectations in selling our Weston Home. When we needed to move we were then able to rely on Neal to take care of our property until the closing. He made all of our arrangements so we did not even have to be present at the closing which ended up closing in 2 weeks from the contract date. He made sure every aspect and evey step was followed up with the loan officer and the buyers agent. We were very happy with his services and will recommend him to all of our friends and relatives that are ever interested in either buying a home or selling their home. If you are ever interested in working with a Realtor in Weston FL please be sure to give Neal the opportunity. ....He won't let you down!
Dr. and Mrs. Luis Rivera-Weston Florida
8/4/08-Steve and Neal
Thanks to both of you for being the best Realtors I have ever met.
Julia Weiss
Now I'd like to say that after a very long process,Neal was able to get our home in Weston sold via short sale. We had many issues to overcome and in the end we weren't sure it was going to happen. Neal made it happen. He told us his goal was to continue to try as long as we wanted to. He explained every step and how long it could have taken. He made us feel very confident it would happen.We are grateful that we are finally out of a terrible situation financially and will be looking foward to getting back on our feet thanks to him.
Mark and Lucci Kilgore-Weston Florida
This letter is written in reference to the professional services performed by Neal Bloom, Realtor . I am very pleased to say that Mr. Bloom provided me with excellent client services during the sale of my home. During the sale of the home he was very responsive; he kept me apprised of current sales and offerings on my home. As my agent he advocated for my interests and ethically represented me, analyzed the market and made sure that my home was competitive and ready to sell, he utilized the power of the internet by creating a website to maximize my homes exposure. More importantly Mr. Bloom communicated with me openly and honestly and followed up with buyers agents as necessary. He thoroughly read the disclosures and advised me to the best of his abilities and explained fully the commissions and the costs involved with the sale. He guided me all the way to the closing and his level of professionalism left me with the constant feeling of "being in good hands".
Mr. Bloom did an excellent job of coordinating with lenders as well as the buyer's agent to ensure that everyone was in agreement with the desired closing and dates. In my opinion Mr. Bloom substantially exceeded my expectations with respect to the services I was entitled to from a professional real estate agent. Based on my experience with Mr. Bloom, I would highly recommend him without reservation to anyone in need of a professional realtor.
Sincerely,
S. Strauss-Towngate Pembroke Pines FL
