Rates and Programs
30 Year Fixed vs. 5 – Year ARM
I was doing some research and found out that people do not stay in their homes or the loan that they are in for more than five years!!!!!! So what does this mean? It means that people pay far too high a rate of interest! The difference between a $250,000.00 mortgage on a 30 year fixed and a 5/1 ARM is $12,966.00 savings over 5 years. Why oh why do people always want to do a 30 year fixed rate loan? I ask you!

Gone Fishing! (for luxury buyers)
Life of A Realtor In 2011
Is it enough to simply list properties for sale on the MLS and hope they sell? If that’s a strategy, pack up and go home now. Selling luxury real estate requires 3 things:
Smarts, Aggressive Marketing and Networking
Smarts is self explanatory. If you have a luxury property to sell, hire an agent that actually knows something. Hiring a friend or doing someone a favor is almost sure disaster and usually adds to the tension. For a short bio on yours truly, click here.
Aggressive Marketing
The Internet is the starting point for ALL real estate searches. It’s the most navigable, complete list of “what’s out there” and you don’t have to talk to a soul until YOU ARE READY. My marketing is ONLINE, GLOBAL and quite honestly, cutting edge. Simply put, you don’t post record sales without it. Luxury buyers come from all over the world. Trust me when I tell you that they didn’t find my listing from scouring through the local MLS. I work closely with Christie’s International and Mayfair to insure that my properties get the proper exposure, that is, making sure that my homes are “front and center” for those with the means to buy.
Networking
Consistent working within your local network is never enough. There is something to be said for “getting out of your comfort zone” and increasing the strength of your professional network. It is that sphere of influence which successfully transacts high-end business. The Northeast has always made for a steady stream of wealthy investors looking for spectacular properties in South Florida. Heading to East Hampton, NY for Memorial Day Weekend will be a much needed break but also comes with a tremendous opportunity to create new and lasting business relationships that can prove very fruitful for years to come. Nothing replaces personal contact. Emails will never fully convey the story. And while a phone call might be a bit more personal than an email, being out there and meeting new people, creating workable synergies, is ALWAYS best.
I wish everyone a very happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend.
