Choosing a Real Estate Agent
Below are some preparations you can make prior to contacting an agent. You can also call or email us anytime and we can guide you through the entire process as well.
Five Reasons A Property Sells:
YOU CONTROL FOUR OF THESE!
Cooperative Sales In Florida:
Over 67% of all property sold in the Multiple Listing Service is a Cooperative sale. For that reason your selection of a company should be based on who will represent your best interests and give you the best service.
Potential Dual Agency
A Seller’s agent has the obligation of providing you client level services in a fiduciary relationship that include:
The selling agent, acting as a sub-agent, has the duty to exercise reasonable skill and care in the performance of the Broker’s duties, a duty of honest and fair dealing and a duty to disclose all facts known to the Broker that materially and adversely affect the consideration to be paid for the property.
A dual agency situation can arise if, after your agent has entered into an agency relationship with you, one of the salespersons in their company accepts an agency relationship with a buyer. If that salesperson shows your home, the agents will in effect be representing both parties.
This is a potentially challenging situation because it is difficult to afford both parties full client level services. Dual agency should only be entered into with the written agreement of both buyer and seller.
If this situation develops, you make an election for your agent to go ahead and show the property and pursue an offer. By making this election, you need to understand that part of the duties of disclosure cannot be made because it would violate the confidentiality with the other party.
In representing both the seller and the buyer, the Broker will not, without the express written permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party that the seller will accept a price less than the listing price or that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered.
In all circumstances, both seller and buyer should expect diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in the performance of the Broker’s duties.
Agency is a legal relationship and a written agreement should be completed to explain all the duties and responsibilities.
For Sale By Owner Headaches:
Pricing Your Home
Your agent wants you to get the highest price and you want the home SOLD.
Sellers Control Salability — The seller controls the condition of the property, the terms they will consider and the asking price. Your house will be marketed at the price that will be in YOUR BEST INTEREST.
The Market Controls Value — Beyond the control of the seller is the value a buyer will assign to a given location and the number of houses for sale. They are not interested in what you paid for the property, what you have spent on redecorating, or how much money you need to purchase your next home. Buyers will always search the market place for the BEST VALUE.
This pyramid represents the fact that as the asking price for your home goes up, there are fewer buyers that are able to afford your home. This will result in a longer marketing time to find the right buyer for your home. Inversely, if you set a lower asking price for your home it will most likely sell faster. It is important to realize this and to figure out if the price you get for your home is more important than how long it takes to sell it. If you print out this page, write in your ideas on price range from “I must sell it now”, to “I have plenty of time”. The REALTORS in Colorado are experts and will be able to assist you in figuring out how to meet your goals and needs.
Preparing Your Home for Showing
With buyers, first impressions count. A small investment in time and money will give your home an edge over other listings in the area when the time comes to show it to a prospective buyer.
Here are some suggestions, which, over the years, I have found will help to get top market value:
The First Impression
Curb Appeal
The Buying Atmosphere
The Spacious Look
What Happens Next ?….

Getting to Know the Apopka Orlando Airport X04 You may already know the Apopka Orlando Airport by its location identifier X04. You may have also read that it is a privately owned airport offering a variety of services to travelers, real estate investors and commercial companies. What are some of the services that the Apopka Orlando Airport can offer you? Before finding out what companies are based at Apopka Orlando Airport first consider what type of services you will require. For starters, there is the business of aircraft rental. This is a popular request for many businesspersons and wealthy consumers who have no need of their own plane but who occasionally travel. You can rent an aircraft and hire your own pilot or fly your own plane if you have a pilot’s license. The advantage to this is that you are not at the mercy of the major airlines’ timetables. You can rent a private plane or charter an aircraft right at the airport by visiting a Universal Air Services or one the aircraft training facilities. You may want to rent a plane for pleasure, for travel, for charter groups or even pilot training. Keep in mind that if you want to want to fly on your own, you must pass a test delivered by a certified flight instructor. From there, you look into your renter’s insurance for specific rules regarding your rental. You select your plane type—based on your proven experience and rating. How much can you expect to pay for a rental aircraft? Prices will vary. Usually the aircraft itself costs a few hundred dollars per hour, depending on the type of craft. Additionally, prices may be based on the amount of gas and oil used, how long the engine is kept running, or when the plane is moving at flying speed. This service may suit you well if you don’t travel often and don’t want the responsibility of maintaining and storing your own aircraft. What are some of the rental companies that work out of the Apopka Orlando Airport? Apopka Aviation & Flight Services provides rental services with a focus on private teaching, flight review, pilot instruction and preparation for the FAA exam. Eliamo offers these services as well as other commercial pilot services like repositioning and ferrying. Grizzly Aviation specializes in sport pilot training and light-sport aircraft. Finally, there is Jan Charles Potter, which offers training commercial pilot services and private instruction.
The Orlando Apopka Airport is ideally located since the 429 expressway is just two miles away, giving quick access to downtown Orlando, theme parks, as well as the Orlando International Airport, all in about less than half an hour. Because the airport is privately owned and its land is not government-controlled, it allows travelers and real estate investors to buy their land and build hangars where appropriate. The more you get to know the Orlando Apopka Airport the more you realize that it offers far more opportunity than any other surrounding airports. Visit us at the airport website www.OrlandoApopkaAirport.com for more information on building your own hangar.

A look at tax-deferred real estate investing
An investor in real estate understands how important it is to preserve wealth and assets. In the frequently changing world of taxation, the investor is fortunate to have IRC Section 1031. Tax-free exchanging is one of the most popular real estate strategies for investment property sellers
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of property held for productive use in a trade or business, or for investment. A tax-deferred exchange is a method by which a property owner trades one or more relinquished properties for one or more replacement properties of “like-kind”, while deferring the payment of federal income taxes and some state taxes on the transaction.
The theory behind IRS Section 1031 is that when a property owner has reinvested the sale proceeds into another property, the economic gain has not been realized in a way that generates funds to pay any tax. In other words, the taxpayer’s investment is still the same, only the form has changed (e.g. vacant land exchanged for apartment building). Therefore, it would be unfair to force the taxpayer to pay tax on a “paper” gain.
Exchangers can create an entire investment program using the wide variety of benefits available, and an investor can move successively from one 1031 Exchange to another any number of times while delaying the taxable event. Two of the most popular strategies involve delayed exchanges combined with TIC properties.
