A Message from the Broker
If you’ve listened to at least a few of my podcast episodes, you already know that one of my goals is to provide valuable insights to our customers.
With that in mind, here is a quick MYTH BUSTERS take on a few important points of the Florida Real Estate process.
MYTH: Many home buyers and sellers are under the impression that a Florida Real Estate Agent can only represent the transaction. Are they correct?
BUSTED: They are not correct. At Slice Of Florida Realty you have the option to be represented as our client.
MYTH: Many home buyers wonder why a seller never has to make repairs as part of the contract. Is it possible to negotiate a contract that forces the seller to make repairs?
BUSTED: Yes it is absolutely possible. At Slice Of Florida Realty we have successfully negotiated a large percentage of our buyer’s contracts to include repairs made by the seller prior to closing.
MYTH: Why is it that buyers can always change their mind for any reason, get their full deposit back, and there is nothing a seller can do about it?
BUSTED: That is only because the seller accepted a sub-standard contract. The contract I refer to is used in MOST Florida Real Estate Transactions that are negotiated by other agencies. At Slice Of Florida Realty we have successfully negotiated a large percentage of our seller’s contracts to put the seller in control of whether or not a buyer can back out of the contract and retain their deposit.
MYTH: It doesn’t really matter what real estate agent I use since all real estate agents have access to the same tools and will provide the same level of service as their peers.
BUSTED: The combination of your agent and the broker they hold their license with can make all the difference in the results you will experience throughout the entire process. At Slice Of Florida Realty we have FREEDOM and OPTIONS that our customers are able to enjoy that our competitors simply do not have.
