Realtors start scholarship fund

Education is one of the greatest investments one can make in any community. RE/MAX Elite's McCoy-Freeman Group announced that they will be pledging a portion of their sales commissions to the McCoy-Freeman Real Estate Scholarship Fund.

For every closed sale in 2008, $25 will go towards the fund which will be awarded to two deserving seniors graduating from Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach High Schools in 2009. Applicants must be pursuing a degree in business management and/or real estate.

Already this year Jennifer McCoy, Bobby & Nikki Freeman have closed 26 transactions and of those 26 transactions $25 of each closed sale has gone to the Children's Miracle Network. Believing so much in giving back what they are so fortunate for, they have decided to donate on more of a local level.

"If every Realtor in Brevard County donated $50 for every closed sale they have made this year, as of 6/16/08 there would be over $140,000 available for charities and scholarships" says the McCoy-Freeman Group.

In addition, the group will continue to donate $25 to the Children's Miracle Network in their client's behalf for every closed sale.

Last year the group spearheaded Total Home Donation which raised over $160,000 for local charities including $3,600 directly donated from the McCoy-Freeman Group to the Children's Miracle Network.

The scholarship program and donations are just one of the many ways that the McCoy-Freeman Group supports their local community. For more information, please contact Bobby Freeman at 321-693-1694

The Meridian Cocoa Beach Condo, brand new 3/2 Direct Ocean and Professionally Decorated sold for $753,000. The cash buyer received a generous decorator allowance from the developer at closing. Meridian is being considered one of the most Elite on the beach.

"The British Are Coming!"

It's been 233 years since Paul Revere's famous "Midnight Ride" from Boston to Concord. He warned the colonists and Minutemen, “The British are coming.” Minutemen were citizen soldiers in the American colonies who were ready to fight the British troops at a "minute's" notice during the years before the American Revolution.

We'll, I'm here to warn all sellers of Cocoa Beach property: "The British are coming! The British are coming!" Get your homes ready to sell in a minute's notice!

Much has changed since 1775. There are no Minutemen here ready to fight, just anxious sellers ready to negotiate and welcome British guests. Locally, the only mention of Minutemen is Minutemen Causeway in downtown Cocoa Beach. It runs east and west with many luxury waterfront homes, a championship golf course, "A" rated schools, wonderful dining and, of course, the beach.

These overseas buyers are bringing cash and good credit instead of muskets and canons. They are using our weak dollar against their high euro to purchase investment property at great prices. We also have lenders who are experienced with overseas property transactions and are available to answer your questions.

So, yes the British are coming but so are the Canadians and many others! If you need information on the home buying process in Florida, contact the professionals of the McCoy-Freeman Group with RE/MAX Elite. Call toll free at 877-611-7873 or send us an email. We are available 7 days a week to answer, show and advise you on any property on Florida's Space Coast.

Canaveral named best state port

A new poll has named Port Canaveral as Florida's top port. Readers of Altamonte Springs-based Florida Monthly magazine and its Web site, Floridamagazine.com, voted Brevard County's seaport to the top spot in its annual "Best of Florida" poll.
It was the sixth consecutive year Port Canaveral has taken the honor, according to the Canaveral Port Authority. "It is very gratifying to be recognized as the best at what you do," Tom Goodson, chairman of the Canaveral Port Authority Board of Commissioners, said in a statement Thursday.

"To earn the distinction six consecutive times is a testament to the dedication of our staff in providing excellent customer service with every interaction, whether visitors come to Port Canaveral for business or pleasure."
Port Canaveral is the second-busiest cruise port in passenger counts, behind Miami.

5 Secrets to Buying the Best House for Your Money

Do you want to get the best property you can for the least amount of money? Then make sure you are in the strongest negotiating position possible. Price is only one element in the negotiations, and not necessarily the most important one. Often other terms, such as the strength of the buyer or the length of escrow, are critical to a seller.

In years past, I always recommended that buyers get "pre-qualified" by a lender. This means that you spend a few minutes on the phone with a lender who asks you a few questions. Based on the answers, the lender pronounces you "pre-qualified" and issues a certificate that you can show to a seller. Sellers are aware that such certificates are WORTHLESS, and here's why! None of the information has been verified!

Many times unknown problems can come to the surface! Some of the problems I've seen include recorded judgments, alimony payments due, glitches on the credit report due to any number of reasons both accurately and inaccurately, down payments that have not been in the clients' bank account long enough, etc.

So the way to make the strongest offer today is to get "pre-approved". This happens AFTER all information has been checked and verified. You are actually APPROVED for the loan and the only loose end is the appraisal on the property. This process takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on your situation. It's VERY POWERFUL and a weapon I recommend all my clients have in their negotiating arsenal.

2. Sell Your Property First, Then Buy the House

If you have a house to sell, sell it before selecting a house to buy! Contingency sales aren't nearly as strong as one that comes in with a ready, willing and able buyer. Consider this scenario: You've found the perfect house - now you have to go make an offer to the seller. You want the seller to reduce the price and wait until you sell your house. The seller figures that this is a risky deal, since he might pass up a buyer who DOESN'T have to sell a house while he's waiting for you. So he says OK, he'll do the contingency but it has to be a full price offer! You have now paid more for the house than you could have because of the contingency, and you have to sell your existing house in a hurry! Otherwise you lose the house! So to sell quickly you might take an offer that's lower than if you had more time. The bottom line is that buying before selling might cost you THOUSANDS of dollars.

If you're concerned that there is not a house on the market for you, then go on a window-shopping trip. You can identify possible houses and locations without falling in love with a specific house. If you feel confident after that then put your house on the market.

Another tactic is to make the sale ''subject to seller finding suitable housing''. Adding this phrase to the listing means that WHEN YOU DO FIND A BUYER, you will have some time to find the new place. If you don't find anything to your liking, you don't have to sell your present home.

Before house hunting, make a list of things you want in the new place. Then make a list of the things you don't want. You can use this list as a guide to rate each property that you see. The one with the biggest score wins! This helps avoid confusion and keeps things in perspective when you're comparing dozens of homes.

When house hunting, keep in mind the difference between ''STYLE AND SUBSTANCE''. The SUBSTANCE are things that cannot be changed such as the location, view, size of lot, noise in the area, school district, and floor plan. The STYLE represents easily changed surface finishes like carpet, wallpaper, color, and window coverings. Buy the house with good SUBSTANCE, because the STYLE can always be changed to match your tastes. I always recommend that you imagine each house as if it were vacant.

Consider each house on its underlying merits, not the seller's decorating skills.

4. Don't Be Pushed Into Any House

Your agent should show you everything available that meets your requirements. Don't make a decision on a house until you feel that you've seen enough to pick the best one.

A decade ago, homes were selling quickly, usually a few days after listing. In that kind of market, agents advised their clients to make an offer ON THE SPOT if they liked the house. That was good advice at the time. Today there isn't always this urgency, unless a home is drastically under priced, and you'll know if it is.

Don't forget to check into the SCHOOL DISTRICTS of the area you're considering. Information is available on every school; such as class sizes, % of students that go on to college, SAT scores, etc. You can get this information from this web site.

5. Stop Calling Ads!

Please note - ads are sometimes created to make the phone ring! Many of the homes have some drawback that's not mentioned in the ad, such as traffic noise, power lines, or litigation in the community. What's not mentioned in the ad is usually more important than what is.
