Purchasing a condo is a smart move for many buyers, especially those seeking low-maintenance living, desirable amenities, and a sense of community. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or investing, buying a condo is very different from buying a single-family home, and it’s important to understand those differences before signing on the dotted line.As a seasoned Realtor, I’ve guided countless buyers through the condo-buying process, and I’ve seen what works and what causes problems. If you're considering buying a condo, here are my top tips to help you make an informed, confident decision.1. Understand What a Condo Is Before diving into the search, make sure you truly understand what a condo is. When you buy a condo, you own the individual unit (interior space) but share owner...

If you’re preparing to sell your home, one of the most common questions that may come to mind is, “Should I pack before I list my home for sale?” As a seasoned Realtor who has helped hundreds of clients navigate the selling process, my answer is almost always a confident yes—but with some nuance.Packing before listing can make a significant difference in how your home shows, how quickly it sells, and even how much you net from the sale. It may feel overwhelming at first, especially if you’ve lived in your home for years, but starting the packing process early can set the stage for a smoother, more successful transaction.Here’s why packing before listing is not only a good idea but often a smart strategy, and how to go about it the right way.1. First Impressions MatterWhen buyers walk in...

Selling a home can be an exciting but complex process. As a seasoned Realtor, I’ve seen firsthand how small missteps can lead to major setbacks, whether it’s a home sitting on the market too long or a sale falling through at the last minute. Many sellers enter the process with high hopes, but without the right guidance, they can make decisions that cost them time, money, and peace of mind.To help homeowners navigate the process more smoothly, I’ve outlined some of the most common mistakes home sellers make and, more importantly, how to avoid them.1. Overpricing the Home The Mistake:Setting a high price with the hope of “leaving room to negotiate” is one of the most common seller mistakes. Many sellers assume that pricing the home above market value will yield a higher sale price in the ...

 Valencia Real Estate Market Report shows what transpired in each Valencia in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth, Florida for the month.We have more inventory than we've seen in a very long time.  There has been a lot of talk about insurance and homes needing new roofs, even more so since the hurricanes parts of Florida experienced in November.If a home has a new roof or is in the process of getting a new roof - it takes time to get permits and order roof tiles - the home will usually sell faster.  Of course, you still have to think about location and what the rest of the house looks like, but a roof is a big-ticket item.  Many buyers would rather have it done than not done. There are also homes that don't need roofs simply because they're in the newer Valencias.More inventory ...
