Florida's Waterfront Lifestyle - Florida Waterfront Homes - Florida Waterfront Condos


When you think of Florida you think of miles of white sandy beaches!  And rightly so, Florida  has over 1,350 miles of coastline with about 660 miles of beaches.  Florida waterfront real estate reflects the diverse way that settlers in Florida have embraced a waterfront lifestyle.  Beach bungalows, Mediterranean mini-mansions, waterfront estates, expansive water view condominiums,  cozy ranch style homes, sparkling new townhouses - whatever type of home style you are looking for can be found on Florida's waterfront.  

Because Florida waterfront property is a scarce commodity, timing is everything for Buyers. Waterfront home Buyers are surprised that many  homes are under contract in just a few days. That is where a dedicated Buyer Broker becomes the waterfront home Buyers biggest ally, a Florida Buyers Broker can give the Buyer the advantage they need in this evolving real estate market.

Florida Law

Did you KNOW....Florida Law mandates that all real estate licensees (agents/brokers) are "Transaction Brokers", unless they specifically agree otherwise. Transaction brokers have no Agent or Agency (fiduciary) relationship with CUSTOMERS. They are simply there to "facilitate a transaction" and close the sale. 

As an Exclusively Buyer Brokerage we represent the interest of Buyers and put our fiduciary commitment to represent and protect our buyers interest in writing. We NEVER act as Transaction Brokers or have contractual obligations with sellers to get the HIGHEST PRICE. This 100% commitment to Buyers allows us to provide Buyer services not possible in traditional brokerages.

SMART Home Buying - Avoiding Costly Pitfalls #1

 

Being a Smart home buyer doesn't have anything to do with IQ.  It does have a lot to do with common sense.  There are a lot of opinions out there on what NOT to do as well as opinions of what to do. A smart home buyer uses their common sense to determine what best serves their needs. 

Years ago, companies that were looking to purchase property decided what they needed was a Real Estate professional that had the company's and only the company's best interest as their goal.  So companies began hiring their own real estate professionals.  They would put this individual on the companies payroll with the single task of finding the properties that met the company's needs, researching them thoroughly and negotiating the very best purchase.  The thinking was that these real estate buyer specialists would save the company more then enough money to pay their salary.  Companies wanted an experienced agent that had enough sales experience to understand the seller's perspective but not the driving influence of a "sales team" organization. This person would not only be the companies employee but, would also have the legal duties and responsibilities as the companies AGENT.

Traditional Real Estate brokerages in Florida are sales organizations.  They contract with property owners to sell their property.  They can not provide AGENCY or AGENT representation to Buyers of their Listings.

So, common sense tells us that if we are buying we should look for one of these buyer specialists to work for us.  Today, these specialists are found in "Buyer Brokerages". They never have listings they must sell or the contractual sales obligations that Traditional Brokerages have with listings.  Their loyalty and commitment is 100% for the Buyers best interest.  If a brokerage has listings they are NOT a Buyers Brokerage, they are Transaction Brokers. Eliminating the Transaction Broker Pitfall is the first step in a successful home purchase that can SAVE THOUSANDS.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has OPPOSED "Transaction Broker" Real Estate since 1993 as parties must relinquish their RIGHT to the protections afforded by FULL REPRESENTATION of an AGENT / AGENCY relationship.

What NAR says about Exclusive Buyer Agency - Florida Exclusive Buyer Agents

 

According to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) publication 2000 'Agency - Choices, Challenges, and Opportunities', Exclusive Buyer Agency is: "The practice of representing only buyers and never sellers in a transaction. The company (Brokerage) never lists a seller's property and thus never has a seller as a client." The publication goes on to say that Exclusive Buyer Agency, " Promotes a more natural relationship for agents working with buyers". Why ? ".... any brokerage listing properties for sale is used to representing Sellers and has a legal commitment (responsibility) to protect the Sellers interest and must get the highest price possible for the Seller.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has OPPOSED "Transaction Broker" Real Estate since 1993 as parties must relinquish their RIGHT to the protections afforded by FULL REPRESENTATION of an AGENT / AGENCY relationship with their Realtor.
Since 2008 all Florida realtors by law are "Transaction Brokers" unless they specifically agree in writing to represent your interest exclusively.

'Realizing your agent isn't on your side is a little like learning there is no Santa Claus.' 'It is your responsibility to search for an agent who will represent your interests in the real estate transaction. If you want someone to represent only your interests, consider hiring an 'exclusive buyer's agent', who will be working for you.' 'Exclusive agencies are best. They remove any conflict of interest, which is the main reason for considering a Buyer Broker in the first place.' 'Unlike the traditional agent who looks out for the seller, a buyer broker acts as your advocate, helping you find the home you want and then negotiating the lowest possible price. The best buyer brokers are so called exclusive agents - that is, they represent only buyers, never sellers...' 'If your real estate agent isn't a buyer's broker, he works for the seller.   Los Angles Times recommends using a Buyers Broker, Exclusive Buyer Agent    Consumer Reports recommends using an Exclusive Buyer Agent Florida Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents

 Buyer Brokerages are Recommended by these and many other consumer groups.

Our passion, is working with Buyers. For the past ten years we have represented Buyers exclusively. My brokerage, Exclusively Buyers Realty of Florida is a Buyer Brokerage serving Florida Home Buyers where and when they need a professional and a dedicated advocate. Why, because buying a home is perhaps a person’s single largest lifetime investment and we believe buyers should have the very best representation unencumbered by conflicting sales interest. Accomplishing this requires never contract with sellers to get the highest price or have obligations to promote, solicit, market or sell any property. So when we work with clients they get our full attention. We turn off our cell phone, listen to their comments and answer their questions.

You will find the level of professional commitment and transparency we provide Buyers is quite simply, not possible in traditional brokerages attempting to serve both buyers and sellers. Our Commitment to Buyers exclusively allows us to provide an Agency relationship (fiduciary representation) on each and every property... with the buyers best interest... Always First. Traditional brokerages can't do this if they have contractual obligations with Sellers.

Early in my career I worked for two of Tampa Bay's leading national and international real estate company's achieving TOP Producer status with annual sales exceeding $22M. So I know the seller side of Florida real estate. I have been a Florida licensed Mortgage Broker but find it better to utilize full time mortgage bankers and lenders that specialize in providing my clients excellent service and great rates.
