Clearwater Beach Florida – Maybe you remember the 80’s hit from the group named Timbuk3 titled “The Futures So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)”. Here is the link if you want to see & hear the video.
That song reminds me of what our local Clearwater Florida real estate market for home and condo resales should look like in 2008 and beyond as local Tampa Florida real estate market conditions continue to improve.
National Association of Realtors reports that in this market, our Tampa Bay economy is adding jobs, mortgage rates remain in our favor, our second home market is healthy, our location near the beach continues to be attractive, and further production cuts in new home construction should lower supply all of which should lead to an increase in home prices and lower inventory in 2008. (Email us to request full report supplied by National Association of REALTORS )
So, if you are in the market to buy a first or second home in the Tampa
Bay area check out what some of our real estate customers are saying, then call us to find the right home for you.

Clearwater Beach Real Estate | Oh Christmas Tree!

Clearwater Beach Buyer’s Agent shares Traditions
Clearwater Beach Florida – Did you know that the Christmas Tree was a big deal in Germany in the 1800’s and came to the USA with the Germans who migrated here (thanks goes out to my Great-Great-Grandfather…a minister from Germany)…LOL. By the way, these German immigrants also brought carols, stockings, and more to our culture.
That reminds me of the things that Clearwater Beach Buyer’s Agents like Cyndee and me bring to our real estate culture. As you may know, Cyndee and I built our Clearwater real estate business on helping buyers get good deals in Clearwater, on Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, and Sand Key.
Our contribution to the Clearwater Beach real estate tradition started out with a belief that since the Home and Condo Buyer writes the check, the Buyer should have representation in each real estate transaction. As you may know, I do not have a law degree, but I do respect the laws of our land and the spirit of these laws, and in some cases, I am inspired by our laws.
Clearwater Beach Florida Buyers get Trust and Confidence
Last week I wrote an article on how Dual Agency is Illegal in Florida and the lively conversation that followed reminded me of one of my favorite statements that comes from Florida Real Estate Law. This was one of the key factors that led Cyndee and me to focus on helping Luxury Home and Condo Buyers purchase their dream home here in the Clearwater Beach Florida area.
It is this simple phrase (Florida Law Describes “Fiduciary”): “A broker in a relationship of trust and confidence between that broker as agent and the seller or buyer as principal….” Hmmmm, trust and confidence, I thought!
This simple phrase is by itself a definition, but when combined with the relationship most Clearwater Beach Listing Agents have with Buyers, Transaction Broker, it paints a more complete picture of why you need to call us:
“…A transaction broker provides a limited form of representation to a buyer, a seller, or both in a real estate transaction but does not represent either in a fiduciary capacity….” Hmmmmmm….,
..limited representation and not a fiduciary relationship, Hmmmm…
If you want trust and confidence to be at the core of your relationship with your Clearwater Florida Realtor, then give us a call because we are focused on what our Clearwater Beach Buyers want, and we work only for you, and not the Home or Condo Seller!

Clearwater Florida Real Estate |Do you want to Buy a Foreclosed Property, REO Bank Owned, Pre-Forclosure and Save

Real Estate in Clearwater Florida | Buyers Get Bargain Waterfront Homes and Luxury Condos
I receive about 5-calls a day where someone is asking me if I have waterfront foreclosure properties and luxury real estate bargains on Clearwater Beach FL, Clearwater FL, Island Estates FL and Sand Key FL; as well as the surrounding areas we serve in Pinellas County.
Like everywhere in the United States, we have our share, so here is some information that I hope you find to be helpful in your search for your ultimate Tampa Bay real estate deal.
Yes, we do have waterfront, gulf front and luxury foreclosure, pre-foreclosure and bank owned properties in addition to homes in lovely Clearwater neighborhoods. So, let’s discuss these terms before I get into some more info on buying real estate in Pinellas County, Clearwater homes and condos in foreclosures:
Clearwater Real Estate Options for Buyers looking for Bargains, Deals and Steals:
– Pre-Foreclosure - The Pinellas County home / condo owner has or is about to miss some home loan payments to the bank.
– Foreclosure - The Pinellas County home / condo owner has missed mortgage payments and the bank has filed an action with the court to take control of the Pinellas property.
– REO - Real Estate Owned - means the bank owns the property (homes, condos, villas, town homes). The bank has taken the property from the home / condo owner and is now selling it.
Realize that in most cases, the bank cannot profit from a home, condo or town home until they own it. That means a pre-foreclosure or foreclosure
property is not profitable for a bank and that the bank is trying to
minimize the loss.
There can be some great Tampa Bay real estate bargains (especially if you’ve been thinking about a vacation home or beach house / condo) for those who are patient, and this home buying process can take from a few days to a few months to complete.
We have found many Clearwater home buyers give up before the real estate deal is complete. For example, I am helping one Clearwater Florida family with a pre-foreclosure home purchase and we are entering the fifth month, but they will be buying the property about 30% below the current Clearwater real estate market price when the deal is complete.
Once the bank owns the property, it becomes a REO. There are bargains
to be had with these bank owned properties because we are in a buyer’s
market.
That means there are too many houses for sale in Pinellas County Florida - remember supply and demand in economics. In a buyers market there is more housing inventory than can be purchased by the number of buyers in Clearwater Florida looking for homes, so you can pick up a good deal.
For example, I just helped a Pinellas home buyer purchase a REO condo for about 25% less than this North Pinellas property sold for just 2 years before.
Finally, it is important to have an experienced Clearwater FL Realtor represent you so that you know the price you will pay for any of the Clearwater homes or Clearwater beach condos for sale is the lowest possible price. You also want to make sure that any issues whether they be from home inspections, liens, egress, special assessments, back taxes, unknown heirs or claims, etc. are corrected, so that you will not have costs uncovered after closing that could wipe out all of the discount you thought you were getting with the purchase.
So, if you are ready to save money on a Pinellas County home or Gulf Beaches condo and have patience, then call me to get started on your Clearwater real estate purchase.
