There are some general rules that if you follow when making a decision to buy or sell Real Estate in the Orlando Florida that you use to ensure that you make a sound decision.

• "I am not going to take a $x,000 loss on my Orlando Florida home!"
• "I am not giving my Orlando Florida home away!"
• "I don’t want to buy until the absolute bottom of the market"

These are things to think about when you are trying to decide if now is a good time to purchase an Orlando Florida home or sell your Orlando Florida home:

• We understand that you want your home to net the highest amount but sometimes you need to look at what is really going on in the market.  That amount in your head is just that.  Look at what has sold recently and what is on the market.  Make sure that you are the best property in the bottom 25% of those listed. 
• Seller’s tend to be 6 months behind what is going on in the market.  So make sure that you always look at where the Orlando Florida market is headed, not where it has been.  
• Been on the market for 3 months with no activity?  Our best advice ~ Cut your asking price and get your Orlando Florida home SOLD!
•  It doesn’t matter if you are buying or selling Real Estate in the Orlando Florida area, make sure that you plan for the worst case scenario.  Can you afford it? Are you stretching beyond your means? 
• Buyers afraid of purchasing before the market "hits bottom"?  Well think about the possibility that you could end up having to purchase less of a house because interest rates go up when you perceive that the market has hit the bottom.

Each time I hear it, I immediately think back to the popular TV game show

Orlando Florida Buyers Want a Deal!

I hear it daily from Orlando Florida Buyers:  "I want a Real Estate deal!"

Each time I hear it, I immediately think back to the popular TV game show "Let’s Make A Deal" There sometimes you left with a flashy sports car, and sometimes you left with his and her bicycles or worse.    Much like the For Sale by Owners, Orlando Buyers that try to go it alone without the assistance of a Realtor have a difficult time.

It isn’t just in Orlando Florida!  Across the country Realtors are reading it in their emails from buyers, hearing it while we are at Open Houses, and just about every phone call they receive.  "Can you get me a deal?"  Orlando Buyers and those around the country are telling their neighbors and friends.   It is what everyone is talking about.

Realtors hear it over and over. "I want a deal!"  Ok!  We get it!   You want a deal!  But I have something for you to think about…

Do you deserve a Deal?

If there is a buyer out there not demanding they get a deal I would be very surprised!  

And why not?  

The Orlando Real Estate Market favors the Orlando buyers right now.  Inventory is up and many Orlando sellers are anxious.  Now with the increase in foreclosure or short sale opportunities Orlando Buyers seem to think they are entitled to the BEST DEAL!

There are a lot of wonderful Real Estate Opportunities in the Orlando area.  The problem is even though EVERYONE wants a deal, not everyone can get the BEST deals.

• Best Deals are Short Sales and Foreclosures! – think again. There always seem to be many competing offers because everyone wants the same great deal

• Just Make Low Ball Offers! – A better strategy is to make solid offers on properties that are priced correctly.
• Value of a Property is a Personal Factor – Are you getting an Orlando Florida home you love or just dealing with?
• Pre-Qualification is Key! – If you aren’t, no deal. Loan programs are changing daily, with so much competition in looking for deals you will need to be looking good on paper!
• There is lots of competition – Surprise!  You are not the only one sitting on the fence waiting for a great deal!    Well priced Orlando homes in great condition are going to disappear quickly.  Do you really want to be in the position saying "I should have acted faster?"
• Be Ready to Act Quickly With:

Hey Orlando Florida Do You Know What is Facebook?

Last week our team attended the free gathering of BLOGGERS in Orlando at BLOGORLANDO.  At this event we learned what is the latest in technology and how to untilize Social Media to better reach our community.   So to assist you in getting to know part of this Social Media Revolution, we thought we would introduce our Orlando Community to FACEBOOK…

We came away excited and ready to implement much of what we learned.  Teri Isner wrote earlier about her experiences here and I wrote about mine and the imporance of Realtors Blogging.  So what does social media have to do with buying and selling homes in Orlando Florida?  Social media is changing the way that we interact with people, and the more people that we can get your property in front of the better it is for you. 

Do I need to be on Facebook?

Where did it start and how did it come into being?  Facebook is growing in popularity and started with college kids and has quickly grown into a way that professionals connect… What exactly is it? It is another one of the growing Social Media Networks out there.

As a Social Network, you are able to network with new people and get involved with them on a totally different level. The real question is do you want to be on Facebook?

Check it out, and definitely watch the video… It has some interesting history behind Facebook. The real question is do you want to be on Facebook? Only you can decide that…

If you join facebook you can find us easily by our names, or in the Orlando Network!

The beauty of Social Media is that there are more than one way to connect with people.  For every type of Social Media that I know about, there are 10 that we are just learning about!  Check out some of the other forms of Social Media that we are aware of:

• Twitter
• Digg
• Linkedin
