Ep. 136 - The Walk Through Before Closing
Real Estate Finder
Recently at the walk through before a closing for one of Jill Glanzer’s Buyers, we discovered that the Seller failed to deliver the property in the condition that was agreed to in the contract and inspection addendum. The contract was supposed to include all television sets, and according the the inspection report the Seller was supposed to replace all of the light bulbs that where out. Usually not a big deal, but when the ceiling is 20 feet tall, changing a lightbulb is not as simple as changing a lightbulb. Join us as we discuss the walk through before closing, What is the walk...

Ep. 134 - Cover Your Ass With a Seller’s Disclosure
Real Estate Finder
While not required by law, a Seller’s Disclosure is a good way for a Seller (and a Seller’s agent) to cover their ass. Buyer’s agents should always ask for one in any offer they draft on behalf of their Buyers. Listing agents should ask their Sellers to fill one out after they sign the listing agreement, while they are waiting for photos and preparing the listing for the MLS. It does not matter if the seller ever lived in the property. Want to know more? Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder...

Ep. 133 - Stop Ghosting People and Always Be Following Up
Real Estate Finder
The biggest complaint that I hear about real estate agents from their customers is that the real estate agent has not been in touch with the customer for an extended period of time. It is very important to follow up with your sellers, buyers and leads. Do not let too much time pass without contacting them. If you show one of your listings, understand that the seller got the house ready, and vacated to accommodate you. You MUST let the seller know if you are finished and if there is any feedback. You must follow up with the showing agent and see if they...

Ep. 130 - Offers of Compensation Can Be Advertised Anywhere EXCEPT the MLS
Real Estate Finder
According to the new rules that went into effect August 17, 2024 you may not display any form of compensation in the Multiple Listing Service. This includes a Bonus. You may however advertise it ANYWHERE ELSE. Sky writing. A billboard. A tattoo that says Bonus! It’s an easy rule. Just ask yourself: is this the MLS? If it’s Facebook, or a television ad, the answer is clearly No. Similarly, according to the new rules a real estate agent may not show a house to a customer without a written agreement that specifies how much the real estate agent will be...

Ep. 128 - As Is with the Right to Re-Inspect with Preston Smith
Real Estate Finder
When a Buyer and Seller enter into the Florida As-Is Contract many times they have a different view of that As-Is means. Buyer’s often believe they can ask for credits and/or repairs during the inspection period. Seller’s often believe they are selling the house As-Is and they do not have to make any repairs. Often when a Seller negotiates they will agree to a price but want to let the Buyer know they will not negotiate anything during the inspection period. Sometimes this is a declaration from the Seller, and it is not an agreed upon term...
