If you want to know what else is only minutes away check out the list I created here about Orlando Resources.

View a slide show of this property and check out the property management of this company which if you buy this home would be wonderful to keep.  Why?  They have the records and repeat visitors that have already stayed in this warm and welcoming home and are very reasonable compared to services of other management companies in the area.

Here is an example of what I mean.  I won’t mention names here but going with a just any proberty management company is not always the best option for your pocket book.  Let’s say your home rents for two weeks in the peak season and you are guaranteed $600 per week.  Income could be as high as  $1800 for the two weeks in a peak season.  So if you are with a not so reputable guarantee company that promises you $600 per week  who do you think is pocketing the extra money? Not you.  There are also companies that charge $25 to change a light bulb or filter.  Enough said.

Here is the management company we recommend to our clients. 

Using a reputable management company is key.  It is all in place if you purchase this home in Indian Creek and make it your Orlando Vacation Home priced at $349,950.  Call Teri today for details or a private showing at 407-467-5155.

Orlando Florida Vacation Home What You Need to Know

Before you buy your Orlando Florida Vacation Home what do you need to know?

Will you be wanting a second home just for the family and fun or will you want to earn income from your Orlando Vacation home?

Important questions you need to answer before you get started.  Why?  If you want to own a second home or Orlando Vacation home where you purchase this home may depend on how you answer these questions.

The answer is zoning..so you are asking yourself what does zoning have to do with it?

If you want to rent your Orlando vacation home and make it an income producing property you need to be aware that there are specific areas in Orange, Lake and Polk County that allow this.

Why because residential neighborhoods may not want to have a different neighbor every other week and that is why certain areas are zoned to allow this.  If people know up front that this is possible there are no surprises.

Believe it or not there are a few people who choose to live in one of these short term communities as full time residents.  Why would they do this?

They may decide to want the option to rent it later down the road, or just enjoy the terrific amenities that some of these communities have.  they may also be onsite property managers.

There are plenty of short term communities to choose from so if you are not sure call our team today for help. 

Owning a Orlando Vacation home is a special opportunity so don’t miss out ask us how you too can own a piece of paradise and your own Orlando Vacation home.

Orlando Florida Real Estate Luxury Auction

Here is more information about the upcoming Orlando Florida Luxury Real Estate International Auction by Keller Williams Realty.

So just what are the seller options when it comes to an auction?  What are the fees and what can I expect?  First you need to know which of the two options you want to offer your property in an asolute or a reserve auction.

An Absolute sale is one where the property is sold to the highest qualified bidder with no limiting conditions of amount.  Also known as an auction without reserve.

Note statistics show that absolute sales command more atention from buyers, secure more opening bids, and consequently achieve higher prices.

A reserve auction is a minimum pirce for which a property will sell on auction day.  If the auction bidding does not reach this minimum, the seller is not obligated to sell.

Note:  We are very selective in regards to which properties are accepted on a reserve basis when it comes to the Keller Williams Orlando Florida Luxury Real Estate International Auction being held in Orlando, Florida on March 15th at 1 pm.  Registration will be Saturday 11-1pm.

Properties in this auction held in Orlando, Florida at the Wyndham Orlando Resort will generally speaking be in the price range of $500,000 and up.

So what are the seller costs to be admitted in this auction?  There is an engagement fee paid up front and commissions.

The engagement fee for the our March 15th auction is refundable upon closing if entered as an Absolute sale, non refundable if entered as a reserve.  Commissions are 3% of contract price payable at closing to Listing Agent in either type absolute or reserve.

Buyer Costs include a Buyers Premium of 10% which will be added on to the final bid on each property.  ( High Bid + Buyers Premium = Contract Price).  A 10% deposit or a non-refundable deposit of 10% of the contract price, due immediately upon the close of bidding.  And finally closing costs, the buyer pays all closing costs for the residential sales in the county and state where the property is located including, but no limited to, all Doc Stamps, Transfer Taxes and Title Insurance.

The responsibility of the Buyer’s Premium shifts toward the seller if the property is contracted for sale during the Pre-Auction Protection Period (Feb. 15-March 15th)  or during the Post -Auction Period (March 16- May 16).
