Not many people remember that the Yardbirds featured Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. All 3 in the rock and roll hall of fame twice.

Importance of a buyers’ agent


A lot of potential buyers think the best way to find a property is to call all the listing agents. This method is actually not very effective. All agents in Florida are now presumed to be transaction brokers unless the buyer signs a single agent disclosure. Beside this fact it is very intensive for the buyer to search all the sites and if they are searching realtor.com or homes.com these sites are not updated often and sometimes not at all. If you call or meet with one agent that you think you can work with as your agent then he or she can set up an automated search which will notify you of any new listings that meet your criteria. He or she can then show you all listings.

I mentioned the Mystic Vista condo that our buyer got for $190,000. The unit is on the top floor with ocean views and has 2010 sq ft. There is now a Mystic Vista on the market that is on the 3rd floor and 1686 sq ft and the view is to the west priced at $229,000. May be overpriced but negotiate using info that you now possess.

For the brave there are 2 foreclosures on the market in South Beach keys condos. They both are priced at $239,900, one has 2425 sq ft and the other has 2611 sq ft. To me the biggest drawback to me is the lack of parking. There is virtually no visitor parking. The complex is on the Banana River with boat slips, 1st come 1st serve and it is U-shaped with a pool in the middle.

Nothing new in our complexes, I do have a buyer for a unit in the front buildings in The Diplomat. If you have one you are thinking of selling or someone you know then have them call me.
