Speaker 5 (01:58):
He tweets up.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Ross, not a whole lot man, Good to see Yeah,
it has been a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I guess it feels like it's been a little while, yeah, slacker.
And then in our new studio because super slacker over here,
we have a little reconfiguration in the studio because we
have some guests I'm going to be introducing here shortly.
But Ross is like on the other side of the
country from me right now.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I know it's it's usually I'm kind of right next
to it.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I know, I like reach out and give you dapsics
to see over there, my dude, I can wave Hi.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
We do have our fearless leader thirteen plus years now.
I've told you he runs a top producing Kelowenios team,
the Florida Home Pros team Keller Wheniams Innovations, there's Jimmy D.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
He's feverishly running around right now though, Jimmy D. Hey
yoube jim Depaula. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Happy South Florida.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I see what happens when you reconfigure.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah, I hate I hate technology issues, but I'm so
excited that we have special guests here today. Besides, of
course Ross is always a special guest.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
But well he's thet P, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:56):

Speaker 5 (02:59):
Yeah, well you're that happy, Yeah, alrighty.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
One day, Jimmy one day.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
So we're going to have special guests Greg and Diane
on You're going to see him on Facebook and YouTube
right now, but we're going to talk to him a
little bit later about their seller buyer process. I thought
it would be a really good teaching moment for people
that are thinking about selling a house and buying another
home but they need the money from the first home
to buy the new home and the process for that,
(03:29):
because it's a big chicken and egg problem. So I
thought we'd get real life people, Johnny here talking about
actually how it's done and how to do it the
right way, because if you don't do it right, you
can go through a lot of problems.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Excellent, And if you've listened you know regularly you've you've
heard the name. We often poke a little light at
it and go, you mean Jack and Diane. I've heard
a little story about Jack. We've kind of followed the
process a little bit. But we're going to get a
lot of detail today and that's exciting. We also got
details on an open house coming up today and a
lot more to get into. Always in my umber, Florida

Thank you so much. Just a couple of shout outs
right away to Susan and Darryl, both longtime customers of ours.
Daryl's now South Carolina still catches us, catches us on
YouTube or Facebook.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That was easy to say.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I know, right, I'm a little hyped out right now,
I gotta cut out. And then and then it's it's
been a hectic morning. And then Susan has always been
a loyal fan. And thank you so much, and thank
you for letting me know everybody can hear us. I
didn't know if we're having an echo problem. Daryl's up
in South Carolina, and we're going to be helping another
(04:49):
of our customers who's a big time fan, who's also
going to be a seller buyer, and she's going Kathy,
She's going to be selling down here in West Palm
and moving up to South Carolin, Carolina, just like we
did for Darryll and his family nice. So now we
have another family move into the same state, different area,
so we placed him with a different AGEA. We'll talk
about that later.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I love South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
South Carolina. It's really nice.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Granted, I'm like, I think about Myrtle Beach when I
think about South Carolina because that's where I had family
and visited. But still love South Carolina. The only thing
I don't like about South Carolina. He's the one thing
I don't like about South Carolina. When you're driving to
like say, North Carolina, right from here, right when you
get into South Carolina ninety five, go down the two lanes.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Really, yeah, total bottleneck. If you have any kind.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Of yeah, you have anything, you're suck.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yoh man, it's it can be frustrating, that's for Sureaki
ka kaki or kakilaki South kakilaki kakilaki.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I think I always said kakakaki, kakakaki. It's kakilaki.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I always thought it was kakalaki.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
But I mean you're from California, Yeah, so I probably
that's probably a West coast south kackilaki. No, come on,
really for South Carolina, Yeah, South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
To look I just don't know who's saying it.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
It's just like it's one of my favorite towns in Florida.
Is Okahumpka, right? I love Okahumpka. I love saying that
Kilaki those right up there, I like Cacilaki.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Well, I mean, I don't think it's officially you know,
the name of the state.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
But so then Oka, Oh, you were saying that was
the name of the state.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I thought Carolina is like a nickname for South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
South Kakilaki.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Oh, I didn't. I thought you were saying there was
a town named Kakilaki in South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
There could be.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
There is now, as far as I'm concerned, there is.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now on the Google machine's going off right.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
If Mike was here, he'd be googling away right now,
mister fact checker, Mike, Mike rawtrom the mortgage firm is
off today. He'll be on next week. We're gonna have
some really good stuff to talk about next week about
the down payment assistance program. We're gonna talk a little
bit about it today, but you gotta get it up
and raring to go for that program. And we're gonna
(07:03):
go deep into the down payment assistance program. Next week.
We're really looking forward to and have Mike back on.
I think we have our first caller today, which is Shawna.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Shawn is on the line for an open house. Shawna,
Welcome to Florida Talk real Estate.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
Hi, thank you guys so much for having me.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Hey good, I didn't even get a chance to tell
Johnny today what was going on because you're have technical difficulty.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
No I cut when that there was an open house,
but you have no idea what house or who was
called or anything.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Who's pro but you're the pro? Right, Hey, Shawna, how
are you doing today?
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I'm so fantastic. How about you?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Good? Good? Shawna is with Keller Williams Innovations, the brokeras
that I work with down in Boyton Beach. She's one
of the one of the growing agents out there, because
you haven't been an ancient that long, Shawna. Right, how
long have you been in agent?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Now?
Speaker 9 (07:54):
Actually just made one year?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
So cool and let me yes happy university. Let me
tell you she's in production and she knows what she's doing.
She's got a really big, great career ahead of her.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
kW does so much training that they set you up
to succeed, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
And you know what, and Shawn is there all the time,
Like if there's training, she's there. When I go in
the office, She's always one of the only people in
the office all the time. Being in the office if
you're not out in the field, that's the way you
become productive, is like treating it like a job and
being there every day. Shawn is doing that. She's a
great agent, nice and she's done done really well on
(08:34):
open houses in the past. I'm sure. Sorry, Seanna, there's
a little delay, so I'm going to slow down because
I'm stepping on you. So sorry, Johnny. Now you know
how Johnny feels every day. So so you're doing the
open house first today. Can you tell us a little
about where you're going to be and what it's about.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Absolutely, so. I'll be at five Dandy Place in boytont Beach.
It's a beautiful three bedroom, two and a half bathroom home,
got some updated features, some beautiful sliding barn doors. The
sunroom is my favorite part. It's a giant sunroom when
it's air conditioned, so in the summertime or in the
wintertime really is our best time. You can open it
(09:14):
up and kind of have that indoor outdoor living that
we all love in Florida.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
So, and how many bedrooms and baths and what's the
size of it and the price.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
It's three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms. It's a
little over fourteen hundred square feet, so it's hard to
come by. It's under four hundred I'm sorry, it's listed
at four hundred and sixty thousand, so perfectly priced, single
family detached.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
And it's it's in anhay. It's Point in Lakes right,
Point Lakes North, correct.
Speaker 9 (09:45):
Yeah, and the HOA is low, so obviously everybody wants
low hoa.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
And what what is the HIA over there?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's three fifty five okay, yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
So under four hundred dollars a month for the hoa.
You're in a great community, that's centraally okay. You're getting
a single family home with a brand new roof, because
that roof was put on if I'm not mistaken to
either January February of this year. So when I say
brand new roof, I mean it's weeks old, right, And
(10:14):
it's under five hundred thousand for a single family home
in Palm Beach County. That's not a fifty five and over,
So there are deals out there to be had, you know,
people saying, oh, it's too unaffordable and stuff. Single family
home under five hundred in Palm Beach County, that's really
really good. Four sixty in Port Saint Lucy, Johnny. You
average home up there, the median sales price up there
(10:36):
is four to ten, So this is like a Port
Saint Lucy price almost, Like Yeah, and the house is
in really good condition, right, It isn't like it's a
total gut job or anything like that, right, absolutely.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
Yeah, they have some updates and some original features, but
the owners have done a really good job at keeping
it in really good condition. And it's located right next
to the two community pools, so it's within walking distance.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
So it's a snatch, it definitely is. And what I
love that sunroom too, Shauna. And the other thing that's
nice about that particular house is that the backyard faces
an open grain area, so you're not looking at like
neighbors right on top of you or anything. You've got
some green space. It looks like a really nice place
to have a cup of coffee in the morning or something,
(11:18):
or you know, just chill out. At night before you
go to bed. I love that. And the other thing
is is that while it's fourteen hundred square feet, a
little bit larger than fourteen hundred square feet, but it
feels like it feels like a home. It doesn't have
like an apartment layout. It's got a nice open layout.
And one of the things is nice is that the
(11:39):
ceilings are kind of vaulted, so it gives it a
bigger feel when you walk into the house. Do you
kind of agree with me?
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Oh, definitely. And it's got a beautiful the sunlight too.
That is right outside the kitchen, so it gets a
natural sunlight from all around as well.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah. Yeah. So the house is in very very good
condition and it's ready to go. It isn't some kind
of like, ah, I got to do everything in this
house just to move in. That's not true. If you
want to do some upgrades, there's opportunity there, but you
don't have to. It's priced based on you know where
it's at right now in the community, so you got
(12:18):
to go out there and check it out. It's five
dan B that's d A N B Y dan B
place in Point and Beach Point Lake's North. If you
want to check it out, just go to our Florida
Talk real Estate Facebook page and you'll see our post
about it. We have a couple of videos out there.
Go over there and check it out, and then go
stop by and say hello to Shawna. Shawna, what time
(12:38):
are you going to be there today?
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I will be there today from one to.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Three pm, one to three pm, one to three pm.
That's excellent. Is there anything else that you think that
we should mention about the house or the open house today?
Speaker 9 (12:52):
I mean, I had a chance to talk to a
lot of the neighbors yesterday and it seems like everybody
really loves the neighborhood. So that's that's always a good
point as well. So great neighborhood, beautiful home. I'll be
there from one to three If anybody wants to come
out and check it out, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Go out and say hello to Shawna. And you know,
this house is a really good opportunity for anybody looking
for that affordable single family home in Palm Beach County.
You got to check out that house. But if you
if not, just check it out and say hello to
Shawna and see if there's a way that she can
help you and Shawna, do me a favor when you're
there today. Sell that house.
Speaker 10 (13:27):
Your favorite, no pressure.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
That's a nice house, thank Sewna. It is a nice house.
Thank you, thank you, Thank.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
You, Sean. I have a great day out there.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I think that's a I don't know, and maybe i'm
obviously I think there's a really good chance that I'm
just making this my own in my head. But I
think it's a really good sign about the neighborhood if
you're walking around and people are actually answering the door
and actually willing to like talk to you for a second.
So many people just don't answer the damn door anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Like so many here knock.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
On my door.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I've been houses where the like they're all, I'm like,
somebody's at your door.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
They're like, my, dude, someone's at your door. That's right.
Like when that happens, you answer it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
They're like why to the window, Like what is they
have I looking for?
Speaker 11 (14:10):
You?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Ors on the what are we doing it? But that's
what we've evolved to. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I just feel like it's a it's a good sign
of the neighborhood if they're actually answering the door. They're
taking the time to talk to Sean a little bit. Yeah,
it is a nice neighborhood. I think that's part of
that nice neighborhood. Actually, your neighbors are friendly, maybe actually
look out for you a little bit. I noticed it
was a car park, Now you know what I mean?
Those are the little things that I appreciate of a neighborhood.
Sounds like you might actually get it there.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Yeah, in that neighborhoodn't we forgot to mention this as
a feature. It's on a cul de sac, so it
not only is it, it's tucked away in the community.
So the only person going down your street are the
people that live there or the people that were invited
to be there.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
So definitely if they notice cars that are like abnormal,
then then they're noticing.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
You see a normal, unmarked van outside my house and
let me know.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
So So everybody five dan be placed d A n
B Y. If you're trying to search it three bedroom,
two and a half bath, single family home with a
brand new roof, ready to go at four sixty go
check it out today and go talk to Shanna about
buying that home.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Excellent in details on a Facebook page for Florida Talk
real Estate also on Florida Talkreestate dot com.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yes, I don't know if it's on Floridatalkrealestate dot com
right now because we're doing a rebuild of the website.
Was the big announcement in July.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Facebook page is always a wonderful Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Right now, I want to do a couple of shout outs, Johnny,
if you don't mind shout out. I wanted to say
congratulations to Shane and Angela. We sold their one bedroom,
one bath condo in North Palm Beach. I think we
only took twelve days to sell that property. I know
I've sear enough on that one really bad. I I
(15:54):
was twiddling my thunbs for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So yeah yeah, somebody Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
So Shane and Angela. This is the second deal or
third deal I've done with them. This house, this little
condo was just a tiny, tiny one condo. It's like
seven hundred and twenty square feet. But the location, it's
right on the inner coastal and when you walk to
your unit every day, all you see is boats and
(16:24):
inner coastal and had a really nice community pool and
the house was completely renovated about five years ago. Every
square inch of the property was touched. And it's a
boating community, so you have the ability to buy a
dock or rent a dock if you live there and
the docks are available. This one didn't come with a dock.
(16:45):
And I guess I don't mind saying this because I
don't think they're mind. We saw. So what do you
think a one to one completely mac daddy fixed up
on the water in North Palm Beach. What do you
think price would be? Johnny five hundred thousand?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
What do you think you're roster here?
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I'm gonna say two.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Oh, he's so close to rosterry twenty five? Did you
look it up now? Because he has the MLS.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I thought, well, my mom, the the apartment or the
conda that my mom lived in is right in that
is right in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So so she one bedroom.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, So if you go, if you go on just
the other end of the the Riviera side of Singer Island, right,
m hm. Some of those condors are like six hundred
k aren't they.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, So I have one on the market right now
that is on the market for five point fifty nine.
That's a two bedroom, two bath unit. Completely fixed up,
just like this one. That one wasn't furnished. This one
came furnished, including the plates and the dishes and the silverware.
And that one, the North Palm Beach one sold for
two twenty five right now, Yeah, which is a great deal. Now,
(17:57):
the one in Singer Island is about double the size
because it's about fourteen hundred square feet versus seven hundred
square feet completely fixed up. That one has a thirty
foot boat I'm sorry, twenty five foot boat, Doc, that
could fit a twenty three foot boat in it. And
that one's only at five point fifty nine. Yeah, that's
(18:18):
the one.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's fifty five.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
That's a fifty and that's at fifty five and North
Palm Beach is not fifty five and over. And the
other thing is this property is rentable later you can
rent it out, so that's the really big benefit of
it later on.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
That's huge.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
So first time home buyer bought it, she was so
in love with it. Congratulations to her, and thank you
Shane and Angela for trust me again to get the
deal done for you. It was funny when we went
to the closing table, Angela and Shane. Angela is the
Mom Shane's the Sun. They own a company called I
always say this wrong, pest Smart. I always I have
(18:55):
a lisp every time I say it pest Smart. They
own a extermination pest control company. I think it's second
generation or third generation past Smart. And Angela is the
mom Shane's the Sun. When we got to the closing table,
I said, so, how are you feeling about selling this
because the reason why they kept it is just for
a place to crash. They both have homes in western
(19:17):
Palm Beache County, but it was just some place to
be near the water and have some drinks, you know,
on the east side, so they just use it just
to crash once in a while. So Angela looked at me.
She was beaming, I'm so happy we sold this thing.
And Shane was like so much. Yeah, But Shane's gonna
get over it because he loves buying and selling real estate.
(19:37):
So now he's got some money in his pocket, so
he's going to be looking for something else. And he
left a message for Nancy, my admin, saying it was
such a pleasure working with you guys, and thank you
Nancy for all the communication you did, and we'll be
working with you again, so I really appreciate that. Thank
you so much.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
It'spread the word floridatalkreal Estate dot com, Florida Talk real
Estate dot Com.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Thank you, Johnny. The second shout out is going to
be to Mike and Colleen. They're kind of some of
my favorite kind of customers right now in a way
because Mike found us on YouTube and he lives in Scotia,
New York. Okay, We've been talking to him for a
couple of years now, on and off, saying that he
wants to At the time he wanted to sell in
(20:20):
New York and move down here, but now the things
in twenty twenty six, so I've been keeping in touch
for a couple of years now. They called me up
at the last minute and said, hey, we think the
time is right to buy now. We want to buy
right away. So I'm going to talk to you later
about on the show about that. But thank you for
trusting us. We had a really great conversation with the
(20:40):
top agent in the area that they want to buy
in and we set them all up yesterday and I
think they're going to have really great results by the
end of by Memorial Day weekend. I think we're going
to be doing a success story. So thank you so
much for trusting us, Mike and Colleen, and can't wait
to find you your dream home in Florida.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Where they moving.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
They're moving to Orlando area, so they're gonna be near
the Eye four quartered or they want to be thirty
minutes to forty five minutes outside of downtown Orlando. And uh,
they've already picked a bunch of new construction communities.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
So I'm gonna say there's a ton of new construction ton.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And that's what they're That's what I zeroed in for them.
And the reason why I did that is this is
going to be like they're forever home. They're retiring and
they're moving down here. So just like with Jimmy, even
though that you know, you're not at retirement age. But
Jimmy when he bought his new construction home, some of
the benefits was super low insurance. Didn't have to worry
(21:40):
about your roof or your AC or your water heater
for at least ten years unless you got hit with
the cane, right, so you're in really good shape, you know,
worrying about cost control for the future, and that's what
they've decided to do. And I got them with a
great agent, which we'll talk about later, and they got
They're going to be really set up really well. Johnny.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Hey, I just want to do a couple of little
shout outs before I get to creepy critter. Vince is
a new person that's calling in because or checking in
because of Greg and Diane. I'll tell you about what
they said on the Facebook on the YouTube page in
a little bit. Lisa one of my favorite customers. I'm
sorry we played phone tag so much. Lisa also is
a seller buyer that had a great success story just
(23:26):
like Greg and Diane, about three weeks before Greg and
Diane and now they're up in Pombay and uh, I'll
call you next week Lisa to talk to you again.
Say hello to keV Go Dolphins. Francis, good morning as always.
She's such a regular honor show. You're one of our
biggest fans. Thank you Francis for checking us out. So
the alleged creepy critter this week is a man who's
(23:51):
been going to open houses and then giving a reason
to touch the open house realtors feet. He has a
foot fetish and he's going around touching rilter's feet and
this relter put.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
A, is it working?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Apparently it's happened a bunch of times.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Well just for you know, scientific purposes. What's the reason
he's giving.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Well for a friend, Well.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Well this lady on, this lady in Tampa, a realtor
in Tampa, and I feel really bad for her. So
I'm not making fun of you, and thank god you're safe,
because this can be serious. But I'm kind of being
a little light on it. But it is a serious
it can be very serious. Light to us because we're
not the one that had her exactly, it would be
kind of creepy.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
So that's why, although although she's responsible here too, because
she did go here, here's my feet.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Well, no, that isn't what happened with her. What happened
with her? Good question, Johnny. So what happened with her
is she was outside, he was he was there for
the open house, and they were standing outside and he
said that she had a bug. Crawling up her leg,
and so she jumped right away and she was like
smacking her leg to see if she can get the
thing off, and he goes, no, no, now it's going
(25:00):
in between your foot and your shoe or something. So
he said, let me help you, and he basically took
the shoe off and started cressing her foot, and she
got creeped out and she put it on social media
and then like a couple other agents said that happened
to me in Tampa too. It must be the same guy.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Crawling on your leg.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Tracks it works, it works.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Yeah, it's a great pickup, like, hey, you've got an
ant on your foot.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
No, I think it went down your shirt.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Yeah, so creepy critter not a good creepy critter at all,
and alleged creepy critter right now, so.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's super creepy.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
And he targets. He targets open houses.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Apparently that's what he's doing in Tampa.
Speaker 12 (25:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I'm sure now.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Here, ladies, make sure you wear your full new balances.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Yeah I know. Right. Well, well, here here's the thing
that happened actually to the open house. Said five Dan
be Place and Point Beach that seanachran is going to
do today from one to three. The last time we
did the open house over there was about two weeks ago,
and Chris Peterson on my team and another agent. We're
there to handle the open house, Haley, and we had
(26:14):
about eight people come into the house. And this really
gets me mad when they come in and look at
the house. They want to come in and look at
the house, but they don't want to give you any
other information, so they won't give you their name, they
won't give you anything, but they think they have the
right to walk into the house. And my attitude is,
and I'm sorry, but my attitude is, if I don't
(26:35):
know who you are, you're not walking into my customer's
house right now. If you're with an agent, that's a
little different. I'm not going to ask you your name.
I'm going to ask for the agent's information. But if
you're just coming in, I need to know who you
are in case something like this happens. So one of
the things that was popping my head, I don't know
if this realtor actually got the person's information or not.
You know, before she's shown in the backyard, and a
(26:58):
lot of agents do not do that. And if the
buyer says they don't want to give the information. Most
agents aren't going to say, well, I'm sorry, I can't
let you in, but until you meet me, because I'm
going to say I'm sorry I can't let you in.
I'm a former crime reporter. You know, they could be
casing out your place to figure out, hey, is this
place vacant or not? Maybe I can come in and
(27:19):
take all the appliances when everybody's gone. You know what
kind of lock boxes on it is a super lock
box or one of those ABC one two three, you know,
home depot cheap lock boxes. You know, they might be
scoping my customers out. So you really need to have
make sure that your realter is keeping your property safe.
And the realtors need to be safe too, So they
(27:41):
need that information in case God forbids something bad happens.
Because what you know, being a former crime reporter, what
I was wondering is how do this How does this
realtor and the other victims know that it's the same
guy unless they grabbed information or got a picture or something.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Most importantly, Yeah, because every time I go to case,
some plays out and they asked my idea, I'm like,
I'm Mike row Mortgage exactly, yes, and that's exactly how
I put it.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
And it's row Our auc.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I'll be on the radio next Saturday.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
So anyway, that's that's my creepy critics story for the week.
Wanted to uh on the flip side, We're going to
do something that we haven't done in a very long time.
We have very special guests here, Greg and Diane. They
came to me in January to sell their home and
buy a new home, and they really made a decision
(28:35):
that now is the time, and they wanted to make
sure that it's a little stressful doing that. And we're
going to get into the whole thing of the seller
buyer and how we structured everything for them, and what
their experience is when they went through the process, and
any teachable moments for other people that through their eyes
that can tell them through the consumer's point of view,
what they would do differently or the same Uh in
(28:58):
that situation. I'm really excited to have that conversation on
the flip side.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Excellent, that sounds great, And yeah, I'm guessing there are
a bunch of people that are very intrigued by these
details because I would think that most people that are
considering of making a purchase anytime soon, like me and
my family, are gonna have to deal with the sale
of some property first. Be that seller buyer I very much,
I'm on that train. And if you are too, great

Yeah, and this is just Diane's like awesome too, just
by the way.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Exactly, and we're gonna ask him to ask Diana question
about that because there's a very common thing that happens
when a husband and wife asked me to comes. So,
uh yeah, So I'm really excited to have Greg and
Diane on the show today. They are seller buyers Johnny.
We have talked about him, Uh what do you call
(32:48):
it when they're not around when you talk about him,
But we've not behind their back, but you know what
I mean, like when they're not present. We've talked about
him on the show a couple of times about a
couple of things. And now we have the end results
to we're going to show exactly how it all happened
and kind of peel away the onion, if you will,
or or what is it the arto choke or you
peel it away and you try to find out what's inside.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
That's that's that's a that's an interesting reference, so I know, right, yeah,
it's probably more universal.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
So I wanted to I wanted to start off with
a little intro and then we're going to go into
a timeline. Here's a little ditty about Jacket Diane. Actually,
Greg and Diane, here's a little ditty about Greg and
Diane living in Coral Springs and looking for the promised land,
found their dream home in Boyton Beach. Now their life
(33:38):
is like eating peaches and cream. So Greg came to
us UH in January of this year saying that it
was time to had to sell his house and buy
a new home, and he wanted to UH. In my
notes that he took when he called me, it was
like January eighth. Actually he said that he wanted to
(33:59):
sell his home in Coret Springs. You had a large
three thousand and have a large three thousand square foot
home in Coral Springs, and they wanted to downsize and
moved to Palm Beach County, Central Pombage County somewhere to
be closer to their kids and everything in their grandkids. Correct,
that's what you guys are trying to accomplish. Am I
wrong about that?
Speaker 11 (34:18):
We Actually we moved further. We moved further from our grandkids,
which is the only Oh I thought they're still half
hour away.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Oh yeah, it's still close. Okay, okay, But.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
So the opposite. They wanted to get further, they.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Wanted to get away from the grandkids.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Then we get a little further away to them.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
I know that's that's true, but we want to make
funn of yet welcome to the Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. So, No,
they're great grandparents because I know they can take care
of their uh babysit their grandchild all the time, their
granddaughter all the time. For the kids.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I was gonna say, you guys are great grandparents ready,
you are not that old yet.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
And that's true. I say great grandparents that way, and.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Then there's a certain image for great grandmar they're.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
A really good grand there. But so you guys were
basically trying to downsize, right and uh, you know, getting
ready for the future. Right. It was time to retire
and get set up for your next chapter in your life,
the fun chapter of your life.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Right.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
So we met on So we you called us on
January eighth, and you told us what we were trying
to get accomplished. And then I'm just going to give
a timeline of what happened from start to finish and
then we'll we'll get into it. So then we met
on January seventeenth, and we did a lot that day.
I think I was there two and a half hours
or something, which is a normal process for a seller
(35:42):
buyer because there's so much going on. We got to
figure out not just selling the house, but how, you know,
what is it going to look like when you buy something,
and making sure it all works. So when we when
I meet with the seller buyer, the first thing we
do is review the home of the you know, review
the house, look at the can vision of the house,
find out about the upgrades, and discuss staging situations, which
(36:06):
we're going to talk a little bit about later with
you guys. And then we kind of then we look
at the comps and then based on the comps, we
set a price. It's very important. Pricing is very important
when you're a seller buyer. And then we do what's
called a seller net sheet, and that is a calculation
to determine if the house sells at the price that
we're predicting, how much money will they have in their pocket.
(36:28):
And this is very important for a seller buyer. A
seller buyer is because they're counting on that money to
buy the new home, and if they don't get the
money that they're budgeting they might screw everything up on
the back end, and you don't want that to happen.
Then what we did is a quick view of the
properties that they were thinking about what they were searching
for before they before we met on the seventeenth, So
(36:50):
they showed me some of the properties that they liked,
and they gave me a breakdown of the type of
properties they were looking for. We did a quick search
that day just to see what was going on, to
get a flavor if it was going to be hard
or not to find a home for them. And then finally,
and this is probably one of the most important parts
of the meeting on January seventeenth, was understanding the contractual
(37:12):
parts of the contract to make sure that you're protected
both on the sale side and the buy side, so
that if something goes wrong with one of those transactions,
you're not stuck. And here's where the chicken and the
egg comes in. How am I supposed to put my
house on the market if I don't know what I'm
going to buy, So I'll just go out and go
(37:33):
find a house first. But if you need the money
from the sale of your home and you find the home,
most sellers are not going to go into contract with
you unless you're already at least in contract, and usually
even a little farther along than that. So it becomes
the chicken in the egg. I don't want to sell
my home because I don't know where I'm going to live,
and I don't know where I'm going to live, so
I don't want to put my home on the market, right,
(37:54):
So that becomes very stressful, right, guys, very okay, So
we had to go over that contractual part, and that's
probably the most the biggest stumbling block for most people
of trying to get their head around how am I
going to get this accomplished. So then what happened was
on January twenty eighth, So it took about eleven days
from the day that we met to get the photos taken,
(38:17):
and then on February sixth we put the house on
the market. Why did we put it on the market
on that date because it was a Thursday, and we
always put our houses on the market Thursday unless the
seller tells us not to. Why do we put it
on the market Thursday? Johnny? Do you remember.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
I do?
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Has something to do with yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
So the reason why we put the house on the
market Thursdays. And I've been doing this for like twelve
years now. Is I read these studies from the National
Association of realter that when you put your house on
the market on Thursdays. I didn't know that your house
usually sells a little faster. You get a little bit
more money, a higher sale price, and it takes a
(39:03):
little less time to sell the home. So we always
kind of go with the statistics. I have theories on
why that happens like that. So we put the house
on the market on February sixth, February tenth, we started
looking at properties for you guys, right, we started looking.
We didn't really find anything the first one or two
times we went out February fourteenth. We put the house
(39:24):
on the market on the sixth, February fourteenth. Boom, Coral
Spring's house is under contract, right, which really exciting. We
had a really good buyer because they were cash but
we were having a glitch with them because they weren't
giving us enough time to make Greg and Diane feel
comfortable to find their new home, and they felt like
they were going to be trapped to maybe sell their
home without having a new home to buy, and they
(39:46):
were very concerned about that.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
So this cash buyer wanted a quick close or a
normal clothes.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
They wanted to They wanted a normal to a quick
to normal clothes, but then allow them to stay in
the house until they found their new home. But that
got Greg and Diane very concerned because what happens if
they didn't find the home they wanted, they would have
felt pressured to buy anything, yeah nobody, just to get out,
and they didn't want to do that. So we went
back and forth for a few days, but we got
(40:12):
the offer was really good, the number was very good.
Then what happened is the very next day we went
out to look for their house. No, the day that
we went to look at the home that they ended
up buying. That's when we got the contract for their home.
And then the next day we went into contract for
the home they wanted to buy. So then once we
knew that, then we could negotiate with the buyer side
(40:34):
in order to negotiate better terms. And then I'm almost done,
and then we're going to ask Greg and Dane a
bunch of questions. So then on the seventeenth we had
the inspection for the Coral Springs home they were selling,
and then on the twentieth we had the inspection for
the house they were buying. And then on April seventh
we closed both properties. We closed in the morning on
the Coral Springs home and then later that afternoon they
(40:56):
closed with the money from the Coral Springs home to
buy their home in Point and Beach, which also was
a cash purchase.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
What an exhausting emotional day that must have been.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
Oh, and then they had a move. Don't forget they
had to move that day too. Crazy town.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
It was crazy like Champs that night.
Speaker 5 (41:14):
Oh do you mind if I tell you I got it.
I got a picture Johnny the night before, a couple
of nights before you're closing, And it was a picture
of two camping chairs and an air mattress. And they go,
this is the furniture in our house now? And how
long did you guys live like that week and a half?
A week and a half two camp folding camping chairs
and an air mattress. And that's what they had, right Exactly?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Do you had hot water? Yeah, you had air conditioning.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
I forgot to tell you a minimalist.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Everything else is just fluff.
Speaker 10 (41:45):
Exactly you should have been there.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Ross kind of wasn't spirit next time.
Speaker 6 (41:50):
Next time I bring my own air matress, it goes
and camping chair and uh.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
And Ross was involved in this transaction too. Unfortunately Mike
wasn't because it was all cash deals. But Ross was
there for the insurance station to get you the insurance
on the new home, which had a brand new roof.
Was the new roof up it? Love it? So that's
the whole process. They called us on January eighth and
April seventh. They're in their new home, right. It was
just like that. Now, there could have been a lot
(42:16):
of things that could have really screwed up that both
those deals that could have got very complicated, but there
was a lot of communication and we had to do
a lot of strategizing with both deals in order to
make sure you're protected. So the first thing I wanted
to ask you guys, is what was it? Why did
(42:37):
you decide to make the move right now? Because I
looked at my notes and I guess back in twenty
twenty two or twenty twenty three originally reached out and
then decided not to do anything at that time, which
is very common. But why was twenty twenty five the year.
Speaker 13 (42:56):
Well I'll take this, you know. So really one of
the key when I originally reached out to you, it
was we were thinking about retirement at age you know,
sixty five, all right or so, and and so we're
we're at that point talking about maybe a zero beach
move or something like that. But late last year a
(43:17):
couple of things happened. But late last year, you know,
my company merged with another company and my position was eliminated.
So I was like, you know, why wait to downsize?
Speaker 10 (43:28):
Right?
Speaker 13 (43:29):
We know we're going to be saving a lot of money,
so you know, if we could downsize and pay off
a more you know, and pay off the home, have
no mortgage, that would be ideal. And so we decided,
why wait, let's just do it now, Let's pull the
trigger now. And that's why we reached out to you
in January.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Yeah, and it so all this talk about people saying
it's a really bad you know, it's so funny right now, Johnny,
can I just interjectalquick?
Speaker 3 (43:56):
So all the things that happened in life, Dick, take
to your reasoning, right right. I feel weird saying this.
I'm almost glad that your merger happened to force it,
because who knows what our market looks like. If you
wait until you feel like now is the time, I
think almost being forced to do it might have been
a wonderful like just Ray, shunt a sunshine on, need
(44:19):
to be like here do this.
Speaker 13 (44:20):
Yeah, it's interesting you say that because we talked about
that a lot. Yeah, we've talked about that a lot.
How you know this was Everything happens for a reason, right,
I think it's in a weird way. Yeah, so it
was silver lining. I mean we were able to downsize,
got the perfect home, the home we wanted, and no mortgage,
so it's beautiful. You know, it worked out really well.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
You know.
Speaker 11 (44:41):
On top of that too, when you were talking about
you know, going meeting with us with the net sheet
and everything, I mean you were right on target. I
mean it couldn't have been. There was no no surprises
of closing costs extra and everything. I mean really, I
mean it was pennies within pennies of what I expect.
I'm the finance one, so you know I was looking
at the numbers and it was you were really good.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
Yeah. I appreciate that, Diana, And that's that's one of
the things I want to ask you specifically because this
happens to me so much. So usually it's the guy
that called. If it's a married couple, it's usually the
guy that calls me up and says, hey, I want
you to come over and take a look at my
house or whatever I want to sell I want to buy.
And then you get there and then the spouse is there.
Usually the spouse has their arms crossed and they've usually
(45:25):
got purse lips right, and they're sitting there and they're
looking at me. He's like, why is my husband, my
crazy husband, bringing this radio guy in to do something
with our house? How did you feel when Greg says, hey,
I'd like to bring this guy over I've been listening
to from the radio show. How did you feel about? Really?
How you feel?
Speaker 11 (45:42):
Now? I was fine with it because actually I used
to listen not to the whole show like Craig, you know,
but I would listen to you, and you know, and
Greg would felt so much of you, so, you know,
from when he had been knew more.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
So I was fine, Oh good, good, I'm glad because
usually people are sitting there and they're like, I can't
believe this guy's here and then I have to confront that,
you know, And I just asked the spouse, Hey, do
you have any idea who I am? And if they don't,
then I really focus the meeting to them, because the caller,
you know, or the fan, if you will, they already
heard me say this a million times over, you know
(46:18):
what I mean. Usually they hear because what I say
and Johnny knows this when he worked for me at
the time. What I say on the air is what
happens in real life. Right, there's no like, there's no
glitz and glamour of the radio show, and there's a
bait and switch with me.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
What's kind of the setup for the show over thirteen
years ago is you guys got to deliver like you
say deliver or I can't be a part of your show.
Like I just can't. It has to be what you
say it's going to be, and then I can be
a part of it. If it's not, I'll find someone else.
And they deliver pretty much across the board, which is excellent.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (46:48):
I've been listening for years, you know, and that's one
of the things that and when we first started talking,
that's when I think Diane started listening to the show too,
so I kind of pulled her in. She's like, who
is this Jim guy and that, you know, and she
started listening and really became became a fan. But just
hearing all the people that you've helped and call in
and and you know, hearing the positive confirmation, you know
(47:10):
that that you're doing the right thing. And and so
that's obviously what helped us make the decision to just
give you a call when it was time.
Speaker 8 (47:18):
And one of the things you said, Diane too, is
knowing your numbers, you know, knowing what those closing costs are,
how important that was for the whole transaction and knowing
what you're going to do. And it falls back to
that saying, and we we say it because I had
the same process too. I mean, it's my situation worked
out a little bit different where I was able to
stay in our home until our new house was built.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
So that was just a way.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
That Jim was able to negotiate with the buyer. That's
how it worked out for us.
Speaker 8 (47:45):
That's why every buyer seller and every transaction is always
like Johnny says, the snowflake it all, you know, but
there are certain aspects that do apply each time, and
one of them is know your numbers.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
Numbers.
Speaker 5 (47:57):
Oh, I'm sorry, I totally forgot. We had the caller on.
So do you mind if we just take the caller
and we'll come right back to this.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Okay, if he'd like to Okay, you want to do that?
Speaker 4 (48:05):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (48:05):
Well Patrick called in and Patrick is selling his parents
house and it's a little dated. Didn't he had some
questions about that? Patrick, Welcome to Florida talk real estate.
Speaker 14 (48:16):
Yes, come on, fellas, I hope you can hear me. Okay,
I'm in the car.
Speaker 5 (48:19):
No, you sound great, Patrick, thank you.
Speaker 4 (48:21):
Yeah, he sounds really good. Thanks for your patience.
Speaker 14 (48:22):
Good, okay, good morning. My folks they're in their nineties,
so they are now in an assistant living situation and we,
my brother and I are selling their home. It's located
in tom Tamarack down in Browlett County. The Walk. It's
one of those leisureville type homes Stuccoholmes, you know, on
(48:46):
one floor, old time Florida homes. Yeah, but walking into it,
it's kind of like walking into the nineteen seventies. They
haven't remodeled bathrooms, they haven't remodeled kitchen, you know, to
pink tub and all that kind of stuff. Anybody that
the realtors bring in to take a look at it.
(49:08):
And this has been going on since Christmas time, I
believe it or not. They all say that the asking
prices semi okay, but they want a big, huge credit
because of their expense future expense to remodel the home
to bring it up to current styles. Is that typically
(49:33):
the way it's going it goes with.
Speaker 5 (49:35):
How many showings have you gotten since December Patrick, roughly,
oh like twenty thirty five? A dozen, a dozen, okay,
a dozen over four months. So you're only getting like
one showing a week. You know, you're only getting one
showing a week. It is very slow right now, okay,
(49:56):
but one showing a week is is kind of weak,
if you will. And two to three showings a week
hopefully you know that isn't like on fire. But it's
a steady stream of people coming to look and you're
just waiting for the right one. So the two things
I'm hearing is number one, you're not getting that many
showings for as long as it's been on the market,
which is definitely a price versus condition issue, which we're
(50:20):
going to talk about with Greg and Diane because we
had some things to be concerned about when we were
putting their house on the market to get it sold.
We didn't want to be overpriced. Here's the thing, Patrick,
in today's market, the buyers are very picky. They have
a lot of choices. So if you're not priced, we're
the buyer, not you. But the buyer sees value in
(50:41):
the property at the price that you're asking, they're not
even going to come to the house, and if they do,
they're not going to make an offer if they think
that you're overpriced. And when I say overpriced, I remember
talking to somebody just a couple of days ago, one
of the customers, and we were talking about a ten
thousand dollars price differential between what we were going to
(51:02):
list it on and they were like, really, ten thousand
dollars makes that much difference, and I'm like, yes, it can.
And you'd better off being ten thousand lower and being
wrong and having multiple buyers than being ten thousand dollars
over what it's really worth. And then nobody comes right.
Speaker 14 (51:22):
So we have low with the asking price by about
twenty five thousand.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
That's pretty significant. Because I know that area. I grew
up in Sunrise, Okay, so I know that area really
really well. I went to Piper High School, you know
all of that, so I know that area very well.
So a twenty five thousand dollars price drop is significant.
It sounds like to me, though, that your realtor really
didn't crunch the numbers the way that, let's say I
(51:48):
would crunch the numbers to get you the results that
you wanted. Like if you told me you wanted to
explore the market and try to push the price point,
I would work with you on that, but at a
certain point I would say, hey, Patrick, this isn't working
and we've got to do something before it gets too
long in the teeth and we need to or too
(52:09):
long in the tooth and adjust the price and be
proactive on this. My recommendation to you would be go
back to your realtor ask them for full comps. What
is full comps? Not the realtor showing here. Here's three active,
three pending, three sold. This is what I think your
house is worth. What you want to do is going
into that community. You want every home sold. You don't
(52:31):
care if it's two bedroom or three bedroom. You want
a list of all the home sold in the last
six months, all the pendings, all the active, you want
all the canceled, all the expired, and you also also
want expire cancel to withdrawn. Why do you want those
in the last six months? You want to know if
everybody's given up and just taking their house off the market,
(52:54):
because you might be basing your price based on houses
that are never going to sell, and then you're completely
off You're off track. That's how I would handle it
if I were you, I would not fix the house up.
I would not fix it up.
Speaker 14 (53:08):
Oh no, no, we're going to do that. Yeah, And
luckily my folks are at or they handle their money
well and it's it's not like they need it to
stay where they are now, but it would be a
really nice addition cash wise to their savings account to
keep them comfortable.
Speaker 5 (53:27):
Yes so, yes, so.
Speaker 14 (53:30):
We we don't want to remodel it ourselves.
Speaker 5 (53:32):
Yeah. So you it's all about price then, right, It's
price versus condition of the home, and you really got
to look at the other homes is sold at your
price point that you're asking right now and compare your
house to that house. How old is that roof compared
to your roof. Do you have impact windows or accordion
shutters or anything and they don't, or vice versa. Do
(53:53):
they have a new kitchen, new floring, new paint and
you don't, and you're at the same price, Well, then
you're at the wrong price. And you really got to
look at your competition and see where you stand with
your competition and be brutal about that. Don't play games.
Don't play mind games with yourself because the mind games
in today's market, you're not gonna win that game. In
(54:14):
COVID you could win, you could go way above and
people would probably still come to you, but not in
today's market. Prices everything in today's market.
Speaker 4 (54:22):
Johnny, Yeah, absolutely, Hey, best of luck to you.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
You have a great rest of your weekend.
Speaker 8 (54:48):
We got one more caller there, Jimithy we do. We
have Peppe on the line. He wants to talk about roofs. Peppy,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (54:55):
How you doing today, Bud?
Speaker 12 (54:57):
Hey, guys, listen, Jim Jim de Polanks.
Speaker 5 (55:00):
Oh, Frank?
Speaker 4 (55:01):
What hey?
Speaker 5 (55:02):
Yeah? What's going on?
Speaker 12 (55:04):
How you doing?
Speaker 5 (55:04):
How you doing?
Speaker 12 (55:05):
Listen? I'm going through this roof thing right now. I
got a couple of questions for you. I've decided to
go with a claims adjuster. Was that a good move
or a bad move?
Speaker 5 (55:15):
Okay? So we got rough roof on the roof? Right?
We have Ross kamarainets here from bright Way Insurance. Frank,
so this is the perfect time to take this call.
Speaker 12 (55:25):
Before I go. But before I go to that point,
let me ask you this. I look this thing up.
I've been talking to people and talking to people. I
look this thing up on the internet the other day,
and now it says it's fifteen years that you got
to put a new roof on. Is that right? What's
going on with this.
Speaker 5 (55:42):
Ross? I never heard anything about that, right.
Speaker 6 (55:45):
I Mean, there's no regulation that says you have to
replace your roof after a certain amount of years.
Speaker 4 (55:51):
It's all going to be a carrier to carrier, carrier
to carrier.
Speaker 6 (55:54):
As long as you got five years of useful life left,
you're good to go.
Speaker 5 (55:57):
Yeah, so long as you have five years useful life,
you always can get citizen's insurance right ross, So as
far as it stands right.
Speaker 2 (56:04):
Now, Yeah, for the most part.
Speaker 5 (56:06):
Yeah, if we're talking about roof only.
Speaker 6 (56:08):
Yeah, I mean if your roof, if you have a
shingle roof that's twenty five years old, Yeah, your only
option is going to be if it would have to
have five years of life left, and at that point
your only option is going to.
Speaker 5 (56:17):
Be citizens Frank, Frank's a little Frank's a little on
edge because he just found out recently that the water
system in the community he lived in damaged the piping
for the supply lines and he had to rip out
all the supplying lines and put them back into that jees.
And so he's already gone through that. Now he's got
to deal with the roof. So he's kind of you know,
he's going through stuff, and he's not like he's on
(56:41):
a set income right now, so they are all like
real right, like a lot of people. So he's in
he wants to make sure he's trying to save as
much money can. He did take care of the piping,
but there shouldn't be any concern according to what Ross
is saying, Frank, as far as the rules changing about
out the useful life of the roof and things.
Speaker 12 (57:02):
Like that, Well, I could tell you this is that
my subdivision has sixty two homes and every roof is
being replaced. We'll talk to the homeowner's association. I talked to.
Everybody's replacing there. About half of them are already been done.
And the homes are all built in two thousand and three,
two thousand and four, that's when they were built. And
(57:24):
so it's twenty years and everybody's having to take their
roof off.
Speaker 2 (57:27):
That's pretty normal.
Speaker 4 (57:31):
There's probably the time they're do it.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
I bet you get a little bit of a break
price if you're doing all the roofs, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (57:35):
Yeah, And I mean even pre pre the madness, pre
the madness, you know, typically it was twenty years for
like the most a carrier would give you is twenty
years on a shingle roof. Yeah, but you know the
every carrier, some carriers were eighteen and some carriers were
always fifteen.
Speaker 5 (57:55):
I hear Frank saying, no, noing what he's talking.
Speaker 12 (57:57):
No, no, wait wait wait. I was in the construction
business my whole life. I was a superintendent, project manager.
There was never the roofs for guarant.
Speaker 5 (58:07):
You're not, Frank, just like right, he's somehowt warranty versus
insurance And that's two completely different things, Frank. So one
is the manufacturer saying we're guaranteeing your roof, you know,
for you know, for product failure for thirty years. That
doesn't mean the insurance company is going to agree with that,
and they they have a different criteria. So it's like
(58:32):
it's almost like a don Quixote to uh, you know,
trying to tilt the windmill, trying to argue that because
the insurance company is going to give you what they
think that that roof is good for, and then you
get to test it, and then you get to test it.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Take the roof out of it.
Speaker 5 (58:48):
Right.
Speaker 6 (58:49):
Tex plumbing is awesome, Right, People use PAX all the
time in construction. A lot of insurance companies don't like it,
right and won't accept it, won't insure it.
Speaker 5 (58:58):
So that's what you have to understand, Frank, it isn't
the actual warranty on the roof itself. It's how long
the insurance companies are going to give you for that
type of roof and the condition it is when you
do when you go to renew.
Speaker 12 (59:11):
But can I ask you this question seriously? And I
mean this, I understand what you're saying. I understand iand
I understand the whole thing. But I had never Seriously,
I'm seventy two years old. I've never heard of you
having to rip off for a roof ax for twenty years,
my whole life that I've lived in Florida up until
the last year or two.
Speaker 5 (59:31):
No, that's what's been going on now, I mean since
our show.
Speaker 6 (59:35):
Yeah, I mean we've going pre pre the madness twenty
years for a shingle roof that was the Max carriers
would give you. And I mean, I can tell you
even back then seeing a roof older than very rarely
did we see a roof older than twenty years five
years ago, you know, six, you know, ten years ago. So,
(59:58):
and I mean it's not like they just started building houses, yeah,
you know, so, I don't know why, but like the
roof age has become such a big deal. But I
mean again, five years ago, twenty years was the max,
and now a lot of carriers are still getting close
to that twenty years. So I mean things are Things
have definitely gotten.
Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
Yeah, they're turning around a little bit. Which we talked
about the last week on the show is that things
were getting better. So, I mean, it's not great, don't
get me wrong. My sister when I told her that,
she gave me the dirtiest look you know what I mean,
because she goes, it's not getting better, but it is,
it is getting it's starting to slow down.
Speaker 12 (01:00:34):
Yeah, ever, okay, okay, all right, all right, I'll have
to listen to what you're saying. But I'm serious. I've
lived in Florida for forty six years. I'd never heard
of ruf's having be ripped off after twenty years.
Speaker 6 (01:00:46):
Nobody's making I mean again, nobody's nobody's requiring anybody to
replace their roof. As long as your roof has at
least five years of useful life, you're good, right, So
there's nobody out there that's going around and telling people
that you have to replace your roof.
Speaker 12 (01:01:07):
So, in other words, if you mean, let me let
me get this strict. If you go, if I go
and buy a house tomorrow that's thirty three years old
as a shingle roof, there's no requirement to take that off.
Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
You just.
Speaker 6 (01:01:23):
I mean, as long as it has five years of
useful life left.
Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
There's a test that you do or an inspection that
you do, Frank to determine the useful life. And inspector
comes out and they use certain criteria depending upon the roof, right,
Like if you've got barrel tile, they got to check
uplift of the tiles, moving the shingles. They're looking for
granular granulation loss and things like that, and shrinking of
(01:01:47):
the of the tabs, and they do all that stuff,
and they check out the facia and the sheathing to
make sure it's not soft, and how it's strapped in
and all that right, and then that's how they determine
whether or not you need to replace the roof or not.
It isn't just the age of the roof, it's the
condition of the roof. Because I've seen a ten year
(01:02:09):
old roof that yeah horrible, right, And I've seen I
just did one. We did one right before, Greg and
Diane where the roof was twenty two years old, but
it was barrel tile and it's still had eight years
useful life. So no big problem with that. So I
know it's frustrating your Frank. The other thing I would
say to you, Frank, if you haven't done it, is
maybe you should take advantage of one of those state
(01:02:30):
programs and try to get the discount. I don't know
if you're doing that, but you should do the hardhole
that my save Florida Home. Yeah, that my say Florida
Home program. It'll save you some money. Frank.
Speaker 12 (01:02:39):
It's not open right now. It's not open.
Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Yeah, that's I think.
Speaker 6 (01:02:44):
Are they Are they accepting applications or not? Like, are
you getting put in the back of the line at all?
Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (01:02:51):
No, it's you just can't you can't apply.
Speaker 5 (01:02:53):
You can't even apply right now. Okay, that sucks. Well, Frank,
we got another call and I got to get back
to Greg and Diane. If you need me, you know what,
you always talk off the earth, so you can give
me a call at any time. But thank you for calling.
Speaker 12 (01:03:05):

Speaker 6 (01:06:09):
I feel like everything that's going by, so yeah, that's flying.
Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Time is relative.
Speaker 3 (01:06:13):

I get it. But man, I can't believe where it's already.
Speaker 4 (01:06:18):

on US I sixty Highway sixty.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
Is it like a dude ranch? Is that what they
call it.
Speaker 8 (01:06:54):
That's a kind of a camping. They have a trailers,
their mobile homes, all kinds of things to do for
the kids.
Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
Petty boy, you're up there right.
Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Now, of fun.
Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
It's a great place I've always wanted to go.
Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
Yeah, I heard.
Speaker 6 (01:07:07):
Once you get there, it's like they start banging you further.
You know, it gets little, you better bring two wallets.
Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
Yeah, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
About her, I've always wanted to go.
Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
You know what I love about it.
Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
It's like it's it's kind of like divided, so you
have like that that side right as they're talking about right,
and then there's like the property owners and the property
owners like kind of view all the others as like
you're not real River.
Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
I mean, I mean, I'm definitely not really.
Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
It's funny. Yeah, my sister, because she was born May fifth,
you know, when she was much much younger, she just
thought everybody was celebrating her birthday all the time. It's like, yeah,
like everybody said birthday.
Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
When you mentioned birthdays. I doubt he's listening, but big birthday.
Shout out to uh Klepto if you're a longtime real
radio listener. Yeah, Klepto used to be in promotions and
engineering with us for a long time. He's celebrating a birthday,
and he was always a day after Franny.
Speaker 8 (01:08:05):
Yeah, fran yesterday yesterday.
Speaker 6 (01:08:07):
I'm guessing with that name, he probably can't listen because
he's in jail.
Speaker 10 (01:08:13):
I know, right, if you.
Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
Hadn't heard from him for a while. He's probably because
he's doing a stretch at ten to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
He might be for a lighter theft.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
Cele buyers sold their home, bought a home.
Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
They did that delicate dance with Jim and the team.
We're getting some details on their experience. Very happy, very
happy new homeowners. And I guess we have we have
their mover on hold, Jim.
Speaker 5 (01:09:44):
We do, we do. It's Peter Jolennik from Bald Eagle Moving.
Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
Peter, thanks for your patience. Welcome, you're on Florida Talk
Real Estate. How are you this one?
Speaker 6 (01:09:52):
We couldn't fit the air mattress in the two camping
chairs in the back of the car.
Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
Yeah, Peter, was a fast move. Did you use the
truck or you just used a Nissan Ultimo just started
on the back seat as I'm sorry, he was one
of our Tucks twenty six foot trucks. Yeah, right, so
(01:10:21):
what happened. One of the problems when you're trying to
sell a home and buy a home is logistically sometimes
it becomes very difficult to get the buyer to uh
the mover to work with that short timeframe, so they
were Greg and Danielle were looking for a mover, so
we recommended that they call Peter to see, you know,
(01:10:42):
at least get a quote and see what he says.
And what was your experience of working with bald Eagle Moving.
Speaker 13 (01:10:47):
Yeah, hey, hey Peter, it's Greg and Diane. Our experience
was fantastic. I mean, Peter, you know, couldn't have been better.
You know, his communication is fantastic. But the main thing
with the whole buyer seller was, you know, we had
to have them load up like on a Sunday and
then not deliver or not deliver until after the closing.
(01:11:11):
The closing was Monday, and then deliver on Tuesday. So
Peter was yeah, no problem. You know, everything with Peter
was was a no problem. You know, he brought us
boxes and wardrobes and everything we needed for the move
ahead of time. We did our own packing, but but
Peter's team was just phenomenal. These guys were the best
of both of us have ever seen. So it was great, Peter,
(01:11:35):
you did a great job for us.
Speaker 6 (01:11:37):
See you hear so many nightmare stories about movers, so
I mean it's nice that that that there's the good
movers available.
Speaker 5 (01:11:44):
That's one of the reasons why I have Peter on
here because I'm very grateful because it's very difficult when
I refer out people to contractors or you know, movers
or anything like that and they don't do a good job.
I feel really bad about it, even though it's not
my company or anything. And how many moving companies have
we had on this show over the last several years, Johnny,
we had three or four movers as sponsored the show.
(01:12:06):
They're not here anymore, and there's a reason we had
problems with every single one of them, where they just
weren't given the customer service we needed. So I highly
recommend that if you're looking for a reputable moving company,
that you've got to call All Legal Moving for a
quote for sure. Peter, where exactly do you cover in like?
(01:12:27):
Do you do out of state moves? Do you only
do in state?
Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
Like?
Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
What are your specialties?
Speaker 7 (01:12:34):
So we cover all over South Florida. Well be based
in Jupiter in a Bombage County, but we go anywhere.
We're doing any local, long distance, any kind of moves.
We specialize in personal service, meaning we'd go on to
to day. It's the flat rates, you know, we've we've
(01:12:57):
worked directly with a customer, so that's that's been my.
Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
Ill. We'll bright.
Speaker 5 (01:13:04):
Peter came to me because one of the real radio
listeners recommended that he call us to maybe buy a
home in the future. And then when we sat down,
when I was going over the buyer presentation, you know,
he's a mover, so his phone is ringing off the hook,
and logistically he's got to deal with all this stuff.
And one of my friends who used to own a
moving company, so I knew how they work, and I
(01:13:27):
watched Peter, and I watched how we talked to his crew,
and I watched how he called and responded to his customers,
which he had a bunch of phone calls when we
were together, and I was like, I'm liking this guy,
you know, I like what I'm hearing. He wasn't doing
it to be he didn't even know. I was kind
of monitoring it, and then that's when I started saying, Hey,
(01:13:47):
can I refer you out. We did give him to
Roberto Falcones at one point, and they loved Peter, but
they decided at the last minute that they were going
to do the family move where they got a couple
of friends and they all went up with the Kegger
and did the move kind of thing that way. But
they said they were so impressed with Peter and they
would have used them if they were going to use
a moving company. So I'm so glad that Greg and
(01:14:09):
Diane had that great experience because that's what I expected
to have.
Speaker 11 (01:14:13):
Yeah, and there wasn't even one complaint from Peter right
to his crew. Always, you know, everything this customer service
was on top of it, and he was always like
touching in things were going.
Speaker 5 (01:14:22):
That's awesome. I have a customer, Peter, that might be
moving to South Carolina. Do you do moves from like
Palm Beach County to South Carolina?
Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (01:14:34):
Yeah, okay, great, So I'm gonna talk to talk to
them about talking to you on We don't have the
listening yet, but when that happens, i'll let you know
right away. Okay, So, Peter, just one last question about
one question that I have for customers. How do you
know if the quote that you're getting from the moving
(01:14:55):
company is a legit quote, you're not going to be
bait and switched.
Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
So yeah, so pretty much you're looking in general, you're
looking for I would say too low of the quotes
if with the deal looking it's too good of the deal,
and you're looking if it's what the paperwork says. If
paperwork says binding estimate meaning flat rate, that's that's how
(01:15:21):
we operate. We give one number price which never changed,
and that's that's what we stand for. That's that's pretty
much what I would focus on in this point.
Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Yes, that binding, the binding quote is really really important
because there are just reputable movers out there that will
give you one quote. And then when they put this
stuff on the truck and they get it to where
it needs to go to go, hey, the truck's much
heavier than what we thought. We need you to pay
more money or you don't get your furniture back. And
you know, the Sun Sentinel did a big investigation like
(01:15:53):
thirty years ago about that, and they changed the state
law to not allow that to happen. And about eight
years ago they changed the law back. And now that
that loopholes out there, so you've got to be really careful.
And Peter offers binding quotes so you're not gonna have
to worry that the number is being changed. That's really
really important. So it's bald Eagle Moving right, Peter.
Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Correct?
Speaker 5 (01:16:18):
Okay, bald Eagle Moving in Jupiter.
Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
Website phone number?
Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
Yeah, could you go go ahead and put out your
phone number and a good way to contact you on
a website if you can.
Speaker 7 (01:16:29):
So, phone number five six one five three one four
six two seven and website's pretty simple. Baldego mooving dot com.
Speaker 5 (01:16:41):
Awesome. My last question on this is do you use
any moving brokers? That's another tip I want to give people.
Am I correct? That when you call up a moving
company you should ask are you the ones that are
going to be doing the move? Do you know what
I mean by correct?
Speaker 10 (01:16:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
That's correct. So like when you call Peter, Peter is
going to be the moving company. But there are a
lot of moving brokers out there that they're really not
going to do the job for you. They're just going
to take it. They're they're basically a middleman that's making
money off the spread, if you will, and that's costing
you more money. And on top of it, you don't
have the real mover giving you the real quote. With Peter,
(01:17:19):
you're getting the quote from the company that's bound. So
bald Eagle Movement is the way to go to at
least to get a quote and find out what's going on.
Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
Baldeagle Moving dot Com.
Speaker 5 (01:17:28):
Peter, thank you so much. I hope you have a
great weekend, and thank you for taking time out with
your son. I know you're with the sun right now,
so thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (01:17:35):
Thank you guys. Okay, thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
I have a great appreciate you. You have a great
rest of your weekend. That's a bald Eagle Moving dot com.
Speaker 5 (01:17:42):
Moving moving dot com.
Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
Yeah, perfect, great, great looking website too.
Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
Yeah. I haven't even checked it out yet.
Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:17:50):
Their trucks, their trucks are great looking to the truck.
Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
Yeah, I've seen their trucks on the road. Now, that's awesome.
So we've got Greg and Diane here and they're seller buyers,
and we were talking about the process and we went
over a timeline where they decided in January it was
time for them to move and they wanted to downsize,
and we went over the timeline. So they called us
on January eighth. We met on January seventeenth, and we
(01:18:15):
sold their house and bought their new home on the
same day of April seventh. That's a true seller buyer
deal because they needed the money from the sale of
the house to purchase their new home, and we did
what was called a simultaneous clothes That means you're selling
your house and buying your house on the same day,
and the money is being transferred from the sale of
(01:18:36):
your home to the other title company to purchase the
new home.
Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
How long were you homeless?
Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
Half hour?
Speaker 4 (01:18:42):
Oh was that your first time? And how was that experience?
Speaker 5 (01:18:50):
It was a terrible half hour, That's what I forgot.
Diane sent me a note she goes you made I
think it was explanation. You made us homeless for thirty minutes.
So that was really funny because that's the real thing
that people have to worry about when they're seller buyers,
like where am I going to live? That this does
goes wrong?
Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
And not to offend anybody there, they were residentially challenged.
Speaker 5 (01:19:16):
So so we So what do you think the key takeaways?
Because you did really have a smoothest glass situation. It
was really very smooth compared to some other customers that
have seller buyers. What do you think were the big
things that made you have such a smooth process.
Speaker 11 (01:19:36):
To start with? Can I just say hi to our course?
Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
Yes? The course, Hi.
Speaker 11 (01:19:40):
Liam, high elease, Hi THEO.
Speaker 5 (01:19:43):
Hey, guys, how old are they?
Speaker 11 (01:19:45):
Liam's five? This is going to be three this month?
And THEO is two?
Speaker 5 (01:19:51):
Five? Hey, THEO? THEO? What's their names? I'm sorry? THEO
and Elise and then Liam. You've met a I know
I met Elise. Yes, Hey, guys, now you're famous. You're
on radio for the first time.
Speaker 4 (01:20:07):
So cool.
Speaker 5 (01:20:08):
So that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (01:20:09):
So they are they all siblings?
Speaker 11 (01:20:12):
No, Alise and Liam are siblings, and THEO is actually
he's in Michigan, so but the other two in Broward County.
Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
Very cool.
Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
So Alas is so cute. She was very shy when
I met her too. She didn't really want to talk
about So what do you think were the key things
that made your process go through so smooth now that
you're looking back at.
Speaker 11 (01:20:35):
It, Well, I think, as you've been saying, hire the professionals.
I mean, I think, you know, with Jim and Nancy,
they were, you know, with everything that wasn't Jim, it
was Nancy. And it seems like you're always a step
ahead with the questions we had, you know, and concerns,
and you know, the joke is about my anxiety and
I do have a lot of anxiety about things and change,
(01:20:55):
and I know, you know, Jim knows about that, and
you know I find every what could possibly go wrong,
and my head goes through it, and so I ask
a lot of questions, and you know you were honest
with things, and I think you've protected us, and you
know it went much smoother than I expected.
Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
Well, you learned quickly, though.
Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
You gotta be careful how many questions you asked, Jim
that could be eight hours later you're still getting an answer.
Speaker 5 (01:21:17):
Yeah, well that's true. But Diane, I think was met
my match, if you will, because every time I answered,
she would actually hang up and they would call back
fifteen minutes later, go, we have another question. So it
was like and nothing wrong with that. Guys, you need
to know your answers. So I have no problem answering
any kind of questions people have. And I really appreciate
that you took the advice that I gave you and
(01:21:39):
you trusted the advice. I was doing it because I
had your best interest in heart to get the most
money you can get for your house without being unrealistic, right,
so that you could buy your new home and have
comfort knowing that your house was definitely going to sell
and that you were going to be able to buy
the new home. That's such a crucial thing. You don't
want to push in today's market. You don't want to
(01:22:03):
push the listing price too high or you're going to
turn off the buyers and they're not even going to
come to the house to even look at the house.
And we were talking at the time. I'm not talking
real numbers here, but the Coral Springs home was a
really nice home. When I walked in, I was so
happy when I saw it. It's a it's a nineteen
seventies home built in Coral Springs. It had a pool
(01:22:25):
that had a very big oversized lot. The community that
all the neighbors. It was just a really desirable community
and no ha and it had a really nice pull.
It had the old Florida pool. Is that is that
the true depth?
Speaker 4 (01:22:39):
Like?
Speaker 5 (01:22:39):
Is it a true eight foot pool? I never went
in the pool.
Speaker 10 (01:22:42):
No, it's six foot.
Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
Oh it's a six foot it was. But it's just
a really really nice property. And it had some upgrades
like impact windows. I think your roof was newer, if
I'm not mistaken, but the kitchen was I don't think
it was original, was it? But it was old still
the nineteen seventies house. So the kitchen, really we even
talked about it, what should When I looked, I said,
(01:23:06):
the only problem I'm going to see with the house
if we when we go to sell it is the kitchen.
While it's a really nice kitchen and everything to lay
out and everything's great, it stated, it isn't like you
have to rip it out tomorrow, but people are going
to probably want to upgrade it. So then it became
what are we going to do with the kitchen if anything,
And then you guys went out and got somebody to
(01:23:28):
look at refacing the cabinets and doing some things, and
then we decided it wasn't worth it and we'd just
go ahead and sell it as it is. And it
didn't really affect us because we sold the house in
twelve days, so and really two of those days I
think we're negotiating, trying to see if we can get
into contract. So we knew even earlier that we were
probably going to go into contract with the people. Now
(01:23:51):
pricing it was key to get your property done. The
other thing I think that gave you guys a really
great edge is your openness when you went to go
look at other properties. You had a very set budget
and you didn't want to go over it, but you
weren't unrealistic for what you could buy. And you got
a great deal, right, You got a really good deal
on the house that you did buy. But we knew
(01:24:13):
the first time we went out. I knew we would
find your home in a reasonable amount of time because
you never you were picky enough that you didn't want
to just buy anything. But you also knew that in
your budget you weren't expecting taj Mahal stuff or anything
like that, and that we were really looking at communities
that were affordable for you. And it was funny what
Frank was saying about seeing a whole neighborhood replacing roofs
(01:24:38):
and everything. I think your neighborhood there were a lot
of people replacing roofs at that time in the community,
but your roof has already done so you didn't have
to worry about it, which was a really big thing
for Diane. She really wanted and Greg, they really wanted
that newer roof, so we got him that. So then
we got under contract. But the problem we had was
is the buyer wanted to close early and then let
(01:24:59):
you live there basically for free, till you found your home.
But that was very scary to you guys, right, yeah,
So what was the fear about that, because that's a
real concern.
Speaker 13 (01:25:09):
Well, I think I think the biggest fear was, you know,
we living there sixty days. They said, hey, you can
live there sixty days, and we thought, you know, hey,
that's a really nice offer. But then at the end
of the sixty days, if we had not found our home,
then we'd literally be homeless. And that that really scared
the pants off of us, right. We didn't you know,
we didn't want to risk do anything to risk being
(01:25:31):
without a home. So that was our biggest fear, and
that's why, you know, we asked Jim, hey, can you
go back and talk to them? We you know, we this,
this worries us a lot.
Speaker 5 (01:25:42):
And I think there were one time at least during
the negotiations going back and forth that we actually said
I think it, tell me if I'm wrong. But I
actually did the little takeaway with them, words like maybe
this isn't a good match. Right.
Speaker 11 (01:25:57):
That was right, because we had in our contract that
we wanted sixty days for us to find a home,
to protect us. And then when they came back and said,
no on that, but you can stay there sixty days
and we won't while you're looking for your home, and
you know, we won't charge you or anything. And that
didn't like Greg said, it didn't make us feel comfortable. But
you were able to go back and negotiate with There
(01:26:18):
was one There was a few hours there where we
didn't know if they were going to if this wasn't
going to work, and it was, you.
Speaker 13 (01:26:25):
Know, and we would have walked away from it, like
you say, even though it was a great deal and
a cash deal, a great buyer, you know, we just
didn't want to have that risk factor.
Speaker 5 (01:26:35):
Stress, stress of not knowing.
Speaker 11 (01:26:37):
So we did the thirty days in the contract, right,
they gave us thirty which.
Speaker 5 (01:26:41):
They gave us thirty days to tell them are we
ready to sell the house to you or not. So
what that means is is the buyer wented a contract
with us not knowing for sure they were going to close.
They were hoping they were going to close, because they
were giving us thirty days to go find a home,
and if we couldn't find a home in days, we
had the ability to call them and say, I'm sorry,
(01:27:04):
we haven't found a new home. Either we'd like to
extend because that's what I was going to do, or
we're gonna have to cancel the contract and move on
and you could always come back to us later if
we go into contract, right, And we went back and
forth and they agreed, And let me tell you, those
buyers were really really nice too. They were very nice people,
just like you guys are, and everybody was very cooperative
(01:27:25):
on both sides for that, and that was making me
feel so good. It's like, wow, we really got a
really good opportunity here.
Speaker 4 (01:27:32):
Well they shared interest.
Speaker 5 (01:27:34):
Yeah, yeah, I mean they really did.
Speaker 4 (01:27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
And the goal is to get the closing, I think.
Speaker 5 (01:27:38):
So, yeah, the goal is to get to closing right
under contract, not just to go into contract. No, So
it's kind of like Seinfeld, it's more than just setting
the appointment. So so then the next thing we had
to do is find their new home. But I was
very confident, even though you guys were a little nervous
(01:27:59):
about it, I knew I was very confident you were
going to get your home because I saw how you
were reacting to the homes that we were seeing and
we probably looked at what nine ten homes.
Speaker 8 (01:28:08):
Yeah, you hadn't you weren't under contract would selling your house,
but you hadn't chosen where you were going to yet.
Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
Okay, well, thank you Johnny. I mean Jimmy, I didn't that.
Speaker 8 (01:28:21):
I can see the scariness of that.
Speaker 10 (01:28:23):
That's when the anxiety.
Speaker 5 (01:28:24):
Yet Jimmy did the opposite. He found his home before
he wanted to put it on the market, right, And
then we had plenty of time because they had to
build it, so we had plenty of time to sell it.
But with you guys, you guys have already made a
commitment to sell the house and didn't have a new home.
But you had an out. You had thirty days that
if nothing, you didn't find what you were looking for,
(01:28:44):
you could just pull out of the contract with no
penalty to you, right, and the buyers would have got
their deposit back. So we're not trying to hurt the buyers.
We just needed the time to find your home. So
we went out and looked at a couple of communities
and some of them we liked the communities but not
the house. Some of them communities we didn't like. And
where you ended up moving to in Boyton Beach. We
(01:29:05):
went to that community once before and didn't like the
house at all and wasn't even sure. We liked the
neighborhood so much now so the area that.
Speaker 11 (01:29:12):
We're in, the one we're in though we actually wanted
to remember we saw the house, we really liked it,
but it was just before we put our house on
the market. So and it sold that weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:29:22):
Oh oh, that's what happened. That's right. We liked that community.
I'm sorry. We looked at some there was some other
that like you're saying, yeah, but with that one, you're right,
and we were bummed out that it's sold and we
weren't ready yet. We missed out on that one. But
life gives you cherries when you be a good person
and you do the right things. And you guys did
the right things the whole way. So then we found
(01:29:43):
an even better home in my view, and what you got,
the home you got was awesome and we were very
lucky about that because Johnny, the person that was listing
it was a Keller Williams agent. Now the guy didn't
know who I was, He didn't know me personally, but
he knew my reputation, and I had been bugging him
for several days to get into that house because it
wasn't it was coming soon and they wouldn't let anybody
(01:30:07):
in the house, but we needed to get in, and
I kept bugging the agent and explained that I had
to sell the house to buy the house, which can
make the sellers very nervous, and he worked it out.
We were the first people to come in to see
the house. So the day it went on the market
was the day after we went into contract on Oh, no,
(01:30:28):
the day we went into contract on your house to sell.
We found the dream home right, and then when we
went there, I was very very nervous that day because
you guys loved it. I loved it. And there were
other people there showing the property and one of them
was a pilot. Do you remember that the pilot. And
I was like, this pilot's going to beat us out
for sure, because he wanted the furniture and everything like
(01:30:51):
like we did.
Speaker 10 (01:30:52):
But he lives down the road by the way.
Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
Now he.
Speaker 10 (01:30:57):
Bought the next house that came up.
Speaker 5 (01:31:00):
But we met his neighbors. Oh that is so cool,
and he got something too, because he was a nice
guy too. Well, we were talking to he was super
nice guy. Go oh, this guy's going to offer more
than we're going to offer. I think we're going to
lose out. I was so nervous for Greg and Diane.
And then we were gonna turn it in an offer,
and Lee goes, what the problem was? We turn it
(01:31:21):
and offer actually a little bit above list price, just
a little tiny bit half a percent above list price,
just to make it show that we were serious. But
at the same time, we asked for every stick of
furniture they had they were offering it, but they did.
They give you the plates in the silver room everything
the other house's plate.
Speaker 13 (01:31:40):
But they left the seventy five inch Sony TV. So
we're happy.
Speaker 5 (01:31:43):
And let me tell you that couple they bought that
house four years earlier or something like that, or three
years earlier, and they hired an interior designer to touch
every square inch of that house Johnny. So the pictures
on the walls and everything were were done by an
interior designer, and the house was nice, and they got
(01:32:04):
all the furniture that's what they had. They got everything
that they wanted, which was awesome, and those sellers were
just as nice as your buyers. So I had three
beautiful families we were working with at one time. It
was awesome. The agents were great, The title companies for
both sides are great because that's a logistical problem. So
(01:32:26):
that was a really big thing. But I want to
remember you mentioned about the anxiety thing Diane, and I
just want to say the funny story if you know,
my one more title. At one point when we were
getting in deep with Diane and Greg on the negotiations,
and it got a little scary because the sellers for
the house you wanted to buy did not want a
(01:32:48):
contingency that you needed to sell your home. And normally,
when we buy a house and we're selling a house,
we usually put in the contract for the purchase. Hey,
we definitely want to your house, but our house has
to close, and if our house doesn't close, we want
the ability to back out. And the agent told me, Jim,
we have multiple offers. If you put that clause in there,
(01:33:10):
I don't think the seller's going to take it. So
then we had to have the real conversation, are we
going to that wave that right that we were asking
for you? And normally I would say no. Normally I
would say this is a little risky. If you want
to take the risk, I'm okay, let's go down that
path together. But if you don't want to take the risk,
I understand it might not be a good match. Let's
(01:33:32):
move on. But that house was perfect for you. It
had the brand new roof, they had all the furniture.
The furniture had to be tens and tens of thousands
of dollars right, And I was like, this is such
a good deal. So because they were already hearing up
for your inspection on the home that you were having,
I knew that if because of our inspection period on
(01:33:53):
the purchase, that we would know before your inspection period
was done, whether your buyers were going to buy the
house or not. Because your buyers were cash, so all
we had to worry about was the inspection. We didn't
have to worry about appraisal or anything else, or a
lender or anything like that. So I was like, their inspection,
the buyer's inspection is going to end before we have
(01:34:16):
to finish our inspection, so that would give us the
out to pull out. So we didn't use that clause
on that one. We used the clause for the buyer,
saying Hey, we got to find a home, but we
didn't have the clothes for the seller, and Diane was
concerned about that, and I understand that was it. So
we started going over with Greg and Diana on the
phone all the things that could have went wrong that
(01:34:38):
would stop the sale, because that's what you're worried about.
You don't want to be homeless. And at one point
we went over all the different things that could happen realistically.
I said, guys, this is so rock solid. There's really nothing,
and they're like, well, what could go wrong? I go, well,
maybe you I was joking. I was saying, maybe you
guys are mass murderers and you won't be able to
pass the h aay, maybe you can't get it. Like, well,
(01:35:01):
that's not going to have I go, course not. And
I go, I'm not worried about title because that other
house was just bought four years ago, so it was
done recently, and you own the house forever, so you
know if your title is good or not. Right, So
we started going over all the things that normally could
kill a deal, and then you called back about the
(01:35:23):
title work. He's like, hey, we want to ask you
the problems that you said that we could have with
the title. And I actually was joking at that point.
I said, oh, my gosh, when I hung up with you,
I wish I never said that, because now I got
it in your head. And then and then, just to
show how confident I was, I was being kind of sarcastic,
(01:35:44):
and I said, well, if you really want to worry,
let's worry your house. Get bird down to the ground, right,
you're a house, gut bird down of the ground before
it's ready to sell. And I said, or the house
could blow up, right, that one of the houses could
blow up and you can't buy it. And you call
me back a little later, and Greg goes, I just
want to let you know. We rented the fire truck
to park out our house around. But then I was
(01:36:07):
doing research the very next week, and I was reading
articles about funny news stories, and I found out about
a house in Ohio that was under contract and it
was vacant and it didn't close because there was a
gas leak line gas line leak, and it blew up
the house into smitherings, like there was nothing left it
with cinders, just little bits and pieces of the house.
(01:36:29):
And I was like, oh, I guess I can't joke
around that. Well, maybe the house could blow up. Maybe
I shouldn't say that anymore. So, but it did go
through as smooth as it could go, and it was
good that you were concerned. You know, to be concerned
because what you don't know is the scariest part, and
asking questions is the most reasonable way to get to
the bottom of whether it can be done or not.
(01:36:52):
My last question about this part is were you guys happy?
Are you guys happy that you moved? Do you have
any buyer's remorse or sellers No?
Speaker 10 (01:37:00):
No, No, we're very happy.
Speaker 13 (01:37:02):
Yeah, we did the right thing, and I think we
it was perfect timing to do what we did, but
it was we're really happy we made the move.
Speaker 5 (01:37:11):
So this whole idea that it's a really bad seller's
market and it's really bad time to buy, did you
get that? Is that the way you felt when you
were going through this?
Speaker 11 (01:37:20):
No? Actually, you know. I mean we sold our house.
I think they they talked about the contract started like
within five days.
Speaker 5 (01:37:27):
I think it was. It was really soon.
Speaker 11 (01:37:29):
And then with buying our house, No, yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:37:36):
I think that.
Speaker 13 (01:37:36):
I think the key was with the whole net sheet
and when we sat down with you the initial you know,
sit down and going over everything. I think the key
was we we knew we could buy our home, sell
our home right and buy a home and and not
have a mortgage. And so as long as we were
comfortable in that, you know, the market out there really
(01:37:58):
didn't I should say didn't matter. But you know, we
were pretty confident we were at a good place as
far as the you know, the selling price on the home.
And you did a great job on that because I
know I was a little bit yeah, I think we
we could go higher, and you said, look, I really
think we ought to put it here, and that was
I think one of the best things we ever did.
(01:38:18):
We just we took your advice, you know, from start
to finish. But I think that was the main thing.
We were confident we could sell our home and get
into the home we wanted and do what we wanted
to do with just you know, get rid of a mortgage.
Speaker 5 (01:38:32):
And there's two other things. You went to Ross Premarats
to get the insurance for your home, and because they
had the new roof and everything, I'm sure they got
you got a pretty decent quote.
Speaker 10 (01:38:42):
Yeah, did a great job for us.
Speaker 13 (01:38:43):
Ross and his team, and that was that was great.
You know, we had another broker we had been with
for a long, long, long time fourteen years. They had
done a good job of keeping our insurance you know
where it should be. But but Ross, we just felt
very comfortable. The great thing is too about you know, Ross,
is being able to call and get him. The other
folks we were with, we weren't able to you know,
(01:39:04):
go right there and get to the owners and the
head folks.
Speaker 5 (01:39:09):
So do you know it? You know it right?
Speaker 11 (01:39:14):
One other thing too on that when I lost my
words there, so you know, even those there's so much inventory,
and but it was interesting. We were able to sell
our house really fast, which they say is not an
easy thing right now in this market. And also it's
a buyer's market because of all the inventory. But we
were kind of fighting for a house, so it was
you know, from what you could hear, the market is
(01:39:35):
on both sides. I don't think we kind of fit
the And did.
Speaker 5 (01:39:38):
You notice that the houses that weren't in good condition
you just walked away, didn't even want to make an
offer right because it wasn't price right based on the
condition right. But that house was totally on point and
price right. That's why you had the house you bought.
That's why you had competition. And frankly, you would have
had competition on the sale of your home if we
(01:40:00):
had it on the market longer, you might have got
extra people coming in. Well, remember we had that buyer
back up. Yeah, we had that tread I forgot. We
put a backup buyer in, just like we always do
in case the first person fell out. We wanted to
have the backup buyer because the house was popular and
it was priced right based on the condition because there
was some things people were going to want to do.
(01:40:21):
Chris are one of my agents on my team. When
he came to look at the house, and he loves
looking at the houses because he fixed them up and
everything goes. I love that house, he goes, but it
needs everything as a total gut job. And my attitude
was just because of the age of it, right, some
of this stuff, But my attitude is I wouldn't do
a gut job on that house. I would update the
kitchen and maybe update the master bath. And you know,
(01:40:44):
I'm good, you know what I mean. So it all
worked out really really well. Now, the other thing that
happened that a lot of seller buyers don't know about
is portability tax portability. So if I hadn't talked to
you about tax portability, would you even known that existed?
Speaker 11 (01:41:01):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:41:01):
Isn't that crazy? How much money do you think you
saved on your taxes because you took your tax rate
from your old home and brought it to your new home.
Speaker 11 (01:41:10):
Well, I think the percentage with that formula, what was
that was like fifty wasn't it fifty percent or something?
It's like a huge because of the years that we
were in the house and how much you When we
bought the house, it was at a low price. It
was during the bed times when the market was down.
Speaker 13 (01:41:28):
But when I bought that home, the realtor didn't tell
me anything about portability.
Speaker 5 (01:41:31):
So I I you had portability. They might, to be fair,
they might not have had portability twenty years they did.
Oh wow, So there you go. You had a real
crude that didn't even save you the money. Jimmy, when
you did your house, you did portability.
Speaker 8 (01:41:46):
Right, absolutely, And boy did this save us because we
were in a similar situation where the house that we
were living in I bought that in two thousand, So
I mean I had a lot of years there, and
of course you know, the rates have gone up and
up and up and up, so it really saved us
thousands each year.
Speaker 5 (01:42:04):
Yeah, each year, each year, thousands of dollars just for
people that don't know tax portability. If you own a
home and you're homesteaded, and then you go to buy
a new home and you want a homestead that home,
you could take your homestead rights from your first home
and the discounts that you saved over the years, and
then use it towards the new home. Because normally what
(01:42:27):
happens is, let's say Ross has a house and he's
got a tax bill of three thousand a year because
he's lived there twenty years. I'm just making up a number.
And then Johnny comes to go buy Ross's house, and
he buys it at today's current market value. The county
gets to come in and reset the tax bill for
Johnny based on the new purchase price. Then Johnny locks
(01:42:49):
in his homestead rights, and then the taxes can't go up.
Their capped is how far they can go up every year,
but that first year is pretty shocking. But if you
have tax portability, you can take the credits of what
you saved on your current home and bring it over
to the new home. So there's huge savings there, and
it could really make a big difference in a seller
(01:43:12):
buyer if they're on a tight budget.
Speaker 6 (01:43:14):
They don't try to really anything like hey, like when
you're selling, it's.
Speaker 5 (01:43:18):
So funny, nobody talks. I mean, I mean people use it.
It isn't like it's unheard of, but not enough people
use it because they just don't even know about tax portability.
Speaker 4 (01:43:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
I just feel like a title company should I know,
I know, like, hey, when you're are you going to
buy another house? Yeah, you know, when you're selling it, like, hey,
you could bring this with you.
Speaker 5 (01:43:38):
Yeah, they didn't.
Speaker 11 (01:43:39):
That one title company for our buyers meant to we
already knew about it from you, but didn't. I think
she did mention it.
Speaker 5 (01:43:44):
Yeah, one of the that's true, one of the title
companies did.
Speaker 4 (01:43:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
The time to bring it up is when they're like,
all right, so here's here's when you you need to
homestead buy right. I mean that conversation is having. I
would imagine it's an investor.
Speaker 5 (01:43:57):
Well, what we try to do, Johnny, is and we're
going to do this with you when you start right,
We're going to give you a page from the county website.
Is that the tax collector and the property appraiser I
can't remember on the property appraiser site, which we're going
to have Dorothy Jackson come on the show again very soon.
They actually have a calculator that if you type in
(01:44:18):
what the address of the property is, they'll tell you,
based on the new purchase price, what your tax bill
should be, and then you can calculate your portability on
top of it and show the discount on there. So
that way you can in case you are trying to
set a budget for a mortgage or something like you guys,
you guys want to have no mortgage, but let's say
you're buying asse and you're going to have a mortgage, Well,
(01:44:39):
this will really help set your real true mortgage payment
with the correct correct s grows for the correct tax
that set that's in there so that you know, those
are like really big tips for seller buyers because sometimes
that makes the difference of whether you're going to buy
or not. That tax bill for some people sure can
make the difference like oh, yeah, I'm doing this now
(01:45:00):
because I'm not going to pay that super high tax
bill in the new home.
Speaker 3 (01:45:03):
Hundreds of dollars a month, Yeah, hundreds.
Speaker 5 (01:45:05):
Of dollars a month. Yes, really really important. Now, how
do you like the community you're in? You never lived
in really in pomp I know you've worked there a
little bit. You never lived in Palm Beach County? How
do you like it?
Speaker 4 (01:45:17):
I like it?
Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
Do you like county?
Speaker 4 (01:45:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (01:45:19):
I love it? Yeah, we we love it.
Speaker 13 (01:45:22):
I mean I worked right down the road here for
fourteen years, but I would just sail by Boyton Beach,
you know, on the on the turnpike never uh never,
never really stopping.
Speaker 10 (01:45:31):
So but we love it.
Speaker 13 (01:45:32):
We're learning about new places every day, and uh, you
know it's it's a great community.
Speaker 5 (01:45:37):

Diana first for coming into the show, of course, for
trusting our team to do everything that we were able
to do for you, and I feel so blessed to

she's almost four years now, so she would be considered
a first time buyer, and if she takes.

The lead on our property, that might be the you.
Speaker 5 (01:48:01):
Might get in twenty twenty five thirty thousand dollars in
the state. Yeah, so we're going to talk about all

a good time to be a buyer. And don't listen

a few weeks since I've been able to say good
morning to my friend and yours. That's Ross Cameron nuts
with bright Way Insurance, you know be.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
He tweets up.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Ross, not a whole lot man, Good to see Yeah,
it has been a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I guess it feels like it's been a little while, yeah, slacker.
And then in our new studio because super slacker over here,
we have a little reconfiguration in the studio because we
have some guests I'm going to be introducing here shortly.
But Ross is like on the other side of the
country from me right now.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I know it's it's usually I'm kind of right next
to it.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I know, I like reach out and give you dapsics
to see over there, my dude, I can wave Hi.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
We do have our fearless leader thirteen plus years now.
I've told you he runs a top producing Kelowenios team,
the Florida Home Pros team Keller Wheniams Innovations, there's Jimmy D.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
He's feverishly running around right now though, Jimmy D. Hey
yoube jim Depaula. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Happy South Florida.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I see what happens when you reconfigure.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah, I hate I hate technology issues, but I'm so
excited that we have special guests here today. Besides, of
course Ross is always a special guest.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
But well he's thet P, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Yeah, yea for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But we are going to the back entrance.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Yeah, well you're that happy, Yeah, alrighty.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
One day, Jimmy one day.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
So we're going to have special guests Greg and Diane
on You're going to see him on Facebook and YouTube
right now, but we're going to talk to him a
little bit later about their seller buyer process. I thought
it would be a really good teaching moment for people
that are thinking about selling a house and buying another
home but they need the money from the first home
to buy the new home and the process for that,
(03:29):
because it's a big chicken and egg problem. So I
thought we'd get real life people, Johnny here talking about
actually how it's done and how to do it the
right way, because if you don't do it right, you
can go through a lot of problems.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Excellent, And if you've listened you know regularly you've you've
heard the name. We often poke a little light at
it and go, you mean Jack and Diane. I've heard
a little story about Jack. We've kind of followed the
process a little bit. But we're going to get a
lot of detail today and that's exciting. We also got
details on an open house coming up today and a
lot more to get into. Always in my umber, Florida

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Thank you so much. Just a couple of shout outs
right away to Susan and Darryl, both longtime customers of ours.
Daryl's now South Carolina still catches us, catches us on
YouTube or Facebook.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That was easy to say.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I know, right, I'm a little hyped out right now,
I gotta cut out. And then and then it's it's
been a hectic morning. And then Susan has always been
a loyal fan. And thank you so much, and thank
you for letting me know everybody can hear us. I
didn't know if we're having an echo problem. Daryl's up
in South Carolina, and we're going to be helping another
(04:49):
of our customers who's a big time fan, who's also
going to be a seller buyer, and she's going Kathy,
She's going to be selling down here in West Palm
and moving up to South Carolin, Carolina, just like we
did for Darryll and his family nice. So now we
have another family move into the same state, different area,
so we placed him with a different AGEA. We'll talk
about that later.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I love South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
South Carolina. It's really nice.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Granted, I'm like, I think about Myrtle Beach when I
think about South Carolina because that's where I had family
and visited. But still love South Carolina. The only thing
I don't like about South Carolina. He's the one thing
I don't like about South Carolina. When you're driving to
like say, North Carolina, right from here, right when you
get into South Carolina ninety five, go down the two lanes.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Really, yeah, total bottleneck. If you have any kind.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Of yeah, you have anything, you're suck.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yoh man, it's it can be frustrating, that's for Sureaki
ka kaki or kakilaki South kakilaki kakilaki.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I think I always said kakakaki, kakakaki. It's kakilaki.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I always thought it was kakalaki.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
But I mean you're from California, Yeah, so I probably
that's probably a West coast south kackilaki. No, come on,
really for South Carolina, Yeah, South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
To look I just don't know who's saying it.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
It's just like it's one of my favorite towns in Florida.
Is Okahumpka, right? I love Okahumpka. I love saying that
Kilaki those right up there, I like Cacilaki.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Well, I mean, I don't think it's officially you know,
the name of the state.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
But so then Oka, Oh, you were saying that was
the name of the state.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I thought Carolina is like a nickname for South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
South Kakilaki.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Oh, I didn't. I thought you were saying there was
a town named Kakilaki in South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
There could be.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
There is now, as far as I'm concerned, there is.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now on the Google machine's going off right.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
If Mike was here, he'd be googling away right now,
mister fact checker, Mike, Mike rawtrom the mortgage firm is
off today. He'll be on next week. We're gonna have
some really good stuff to talk about next week about
the down payment assistance program. We're gonna talk a little
bit about it today, but you gotta get it up
and raring to go for that program. And we're gonna
(07:03):
go deep into the down payment assistance program. Next week.
We're really looking forward to and have Mike back on.
I think we have our first caller today, which is Shawna.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Shawn is on the line for an open house. Shawna,
Welcome to Florida Talk real Estate.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
Hi, thank you guys so much for having me.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Hey good, I didn't even get a chance to tell
Johnny today what was going on because you're have technical difficulty.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
No I cut when that there was an open house,
but you have no idea what house or who was
called or anything.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Who's pro but you're the pro? Right, Hey, Shawna, how
are you doing today?
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I'm so fantastic. How about you?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Good? Good? Shawna is with Keller Williams Innovations, the brokeras
that I work with down in Boyton Beach. She's one
of the one of the growing agents out there, because
you haven't been an ancient that long, Shawna. Right, how
long have you been in agent?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Now?
Speaker 9 (07:54):
Actually just made one year?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
So cool and let me yes happy university. Let me
tell you she's in production and she knows what she's doing.
She's got a really big, great career ahead of her.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
kW does so much training that they set you up
to succeed, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
And you know what, and Shawn is there all the time,
Like if there's training, she's there. When I go in
the office, She's always one of the only people in
the office all the time. Being in the office if
you're not out in the field, that's the way you
become productive, is like treating it like a job and
being there every day. Shawn is doing that. She's a
great agent, nice and she's done done really well on
(08:34):
open houses in the past. I'm sure. Sorry, Seanna, there's
a little delay, so I'm going to slow down because
I'm stepping on you. So sorry, Johnny. Now you know
how Johnny feels every day. So so you're doing the
open house first today. Can you tell us a little
about where you're going to be and what it's about.
Speaker 9 (08:52):
Absolutely, so. I'll be at five Dandy Place in boytont Beach.
It's a beautiful three bedroom, two and a half bathroom home,
got some updated features, some beautiful sliding barn doors. The
sunroom is my favorite part. It's a giant sunroom when
it's air conditioned, so in the summertime or in the
wintertime really is our best time. You can open it
(09:14):
up and kind of have that indoor outdoor living that
we all love in Florida.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
So, and how many bedrooms and baths and what's the
size of it and the price.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
It's three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms. It's a
little over fourteen hundred square feet, so it's hard to
come by. It's under four hundred I'm sorry, it's listed
at four hundred and sixty thousand, so perfectly priced, single
family detached.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
And it's it's in anhay. It's Point in Lakes right,
Point Lakes North, correct.
Speaker 9 (09:45):
Yeah, and the HOA is low, so obviously everybody wants
low hoa.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
And what what is the HIA over there?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's three fifty five okay, yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
So under four hundred dollars a month for the hoa.
You're in a great community, that's centraally okay. You're getting
a single family home with a brand new roof, because
that roof was put on if I'm not mistaken to
either January February of this year. So when I say
brand new roof, I mean it's weeks old, right, And
(10:14):
it's under five hundred thousand for a single family home
in Palm Beach County. That's not a fifty five and over,
So there are deals out there to be had, you know,
people saying, oh, it's too unaffordable and stuff. Single family
home under five hundred in Palm Beach County, that's really
really good. Four sixty in Port Saint Lucy, Johnny. You
average home up there, the median sales price up there
(10:36):
is four to ten, So this is like a Port
Saint Lucy price almost, Like Yeah, and the house is
in really good condition, right, It isn't like it's a
total gut job or anything like that, right, absolutely.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
Yeah, they have some updates and some original features, but
the owners have done a really good job at keeping
it in really good condition. And it's located right next
to the two community pools, so it's within walking distance.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
So it's a snatch, it definitely is. And what I
love that sunroom too, Shauna. And the other thing that's
nice about that particular house is that the backyard faces
an open grain area, so you're not looking at like
neighbors right on top of you or anything. You've got
some green space. It looks like a really nice place
to have a cup of coffee in the morning or something,
(11:18):
or you know, just chill out. At night before you
go to bed. I love that. And the other thing
is is that while it's fourteen hundred square feet, a
little bit larger than fourteen hundred square feet, but it
feels like it feels like a home. It doesn't have
like an apartment layout. It's got a nice open layout.
And one of the things is nice is that the
(11:39):
ceilings are kind of vaulted, so it gives it a
bigger feel when you walk into the house. Do you
kind of agree with me?
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Oh, definitely. And it's got a beautiful the sunlight too.
That is right outside the kitchen, so it gets a
natural sunlight from all around as well.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah. Yeah. So the house is in very very good
condition and it's ready to go. It isn't some kind
of like, ah, I got to do everything in this
house just to move in. That's not true. If you
want to do some upgrades, there's opportunity there, but you
don't have to. It's priced based on you know where
it's at right now in the community, so you got
(12:18):
to go out there and check it out. It's five
dan B that's d A N B Y dan B
place in Point and Beach Point Lake's North. If you
want to check it out, just go to our Florida
Talk real Estate Facebook page and you'll see our post
about it. We have a couple of videos out there.
Go over there and check it out, and then go
stop by and say hello to Shawna. Shawna, what time
(12:38):
are you going to be there today?
Speaker 9 (12:40):
I will be there today from one to.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Three pm, one to three pm, one to three pm.
That's excellent. Is there anything else that you think that
we should mention about the house or the open house today?
Speaker 9 (12:52):
I mean, I had a chance to talk to a
lot of the neighbors yesterday and it seems like everybody
really loves the neighborhood. So that's that's always a good
point as well. So great neighborhood, beautiful home. I'll be
there from one to three If anybody wants to come
out and check it out, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Go out and say hello to Shawna. And you know,
this house is a really good opportunity for anybody looking
for that affordable single family home in Palm Beach County.
You got to check out that house. But if you
if not, just check it out and say hello to
Shawna and see if there's a way that she can
help you and Shawna, do me a favor when you're
there today. Sell that house.
Speaker 10 (13:27):
Your favorite, no pressure.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
That's a nice house, thank Sewna. It is a nice house.
Thank you, thank you, Thank.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
You, Sean. I have a great day out there.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I think that's a I don't know, and maybe i'm
obviously I think there's a really good chance that I'm
just making this my own in my head. But I
think it's a really good sign about the neighborhood if
you're walking around and people are actually answering the door
and actually willing to like talk to you for a second.
So many people just don't answer the damn door anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Like so many here knock.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
On my door.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I've been houses where the like they're all, I'm like,
somebody's at your door.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
They're like, my, dude, someone's at your door. That's right.
Like when that happens, you answer it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
They're like why to the window, Like what is they
have I looking for?
Speaker 11 (14:10):
You?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Ors on the what are we doing it? But that's
what we've evolved to. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I just feel like it's a it's a good sign
of the neighborhood if they're actually answering the door. They're
taking the time to talk to Sean a little bit. Yeah,
it is a nice neighborhood. I think that's part of
that nice neighborhood. Actually, your neighbors are friendly, maybe actually
look out for you a little bit. I noticed it
was a car park, Now you know what I mean?
Those are the little things that I appreciate of a neighborhood.
Sounds like you might actually get it there.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Yeah, in that neighborhoodn't we forgot to mention this as
a feature. It's on a cul de sac, so it
not only is it, it's tucked away in the community.
So the only person going down your street are the
people that live there or the people that were invited
to be there.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
So definitely if they notice cars that are like abnormal,
then then they're noticing.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
You see a normal, unmarked van outside my house and
let me know.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
So So everybody five dan be placed d A n
B Y. If you're trying to search it three bedroom,
two and a half bath, single family home with a
brand new roof, ready to go at four sixty go
check it out today and go talk to Shanna about
buying that home.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Excellent in details on a Facebook page for Florida Talk
real Estate also on Florida Talkreestate dot com.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yes, I don't know if it's on Floridatalkrealestate dot com
right now because we're doing a rebuild of the website.
Was the big announcement in July.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Facebook page is always a wonderful Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Right now, I want to do a couple of shout outs, Johnny,
if you don't mind shout out. I wanted to say
congratulations to Shane and Angela. We sold their one bedroom,
one bath condo in North Palm Beach. I think we
only took twelve days to sell that property. I know
I've sear enough on that one really bad. I I
(15:54):
was twiddling my thunbs for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So yeah yeah, somebody Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
So Shane and Angela. This is the second deal or
third deal I've done with them. This house, this little
condo was just a tiny, tiny one condo. It's like
seven hundred and twenty square feet. But the location, it's
right on the inner coastal and when you walk to
your unit every day, all you see is boats and
(16:24):
inner coastal and had a really nice community pool and
the house was completely renovated about five years ago. Every
square inch of the property was touched. And it's a
boating community, so you have the ability to buy a
dock or rent a dock if you live there and
the docks are available. This one didn't come with a dock.
(16:45):
And I guess I don't mind saying this because I
don't think they're mind. We saw. So what do you
think a one to one completely mac daddy fixed up
on the water in North Palm Beach. What do you
think price would be? Johnny five hundred thousand?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
What do you think you're roster here?
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I'm gonna say two.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Oh, he's so close to rosterry twenty five? Did you
look it up now? Because he has the MLS.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I thought, well, my mom, the the apartment or the
conda that my mom lived in is right in that
is right in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So so she one bedroom.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, So if you go, if you go on just
the other end of the the Riviera side of Singer Island, right,
m hm. Some of those condors are like six hundred
k aren't they.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, So I have one on the market right now
that is on the market for five point fifty nine.
That's a two bedroom, two bath unit. Completely fixed up,
just like this one. That one wasn't furnished. This one
came furnished, including the plates and the dishes and the silverware.
And that one, the North Palm Beach one sold for
two twenty five right now, Yeah, which is a great deal. Now,
(17:57):
the one in Singer Island is about double the size
because it's about fourteen hundred square feet versus seven hundred
square feet completely fixed up. That one has a thirty
foot boat I'm sorry, twenty five foot boat, Doc, that
could fit a twenty three foot boat in it. And
that one's only at five point fifty nine. Yeah, that's
(18:18):
the one.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's fifty five.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
That's a fifty and that's at fifty five and North
Palm Beach is not fifty five and over. And the
other thing is this property is rentable later you can
rent it out, so that's the really big benefit of
it later on.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
That's huge.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
So first time home buyer bought it, she was so
in love with it. Congratulations to her, and thank you
Shane and Angela for trust me again to get the
deal done for you. It was funny when we went
to the closing table, Angela and Shane. Angela is the
Mom Shane's the Sun. They own a company called I
always say this wrong, pest Smart. I always I have
(18:55):
a lisp every time I say it pest Smart. They
own a extermination pest control company. I think it's second
generation or third generation past Smart. And Angela is the
mom Shane's the Sun. When we got to the closing table,
I said, so, how are you feeling about selling this
because the reason why they kept it is just for
a place to crash. They both have homes in western
(19:17):
Palm Beache County, but it was just some place to
be near the water and have some drinks, you know,
on the east side, so they just use it just
to crash once in a while. So Angela looked at me.
She was beaming, I'm so happy we sold this thing.
And Shane was like so much. Yeah, But Shane's gonna
get over it because he loves buying and selling real estate.
(19:37):
So now he's got some money in his pocket, so
he's going to be looking for something else. And he
left a message for Nancy, my admin, saying it was
such a pleasure working with you guys, and thank you
Nancy for all the communication you did, and we'll be
working with you again, so I really appreciate that. Thank
you so much.

be to Mike and Colleen. They're kind of some of
my favorite kind of customers right now in a way
because Mike found us on YouTube and he lives in Scotia,
New York. Okay, We've been talking to him for a
couple of years now, on and off, saying that he
wants to At the time he wanted to sell in
(20:20):
New York and move down here, but now the things
in twenty twenty six, so I've been keeping in touch
for a couple of years now. They called me up
at the last minute and said, hey, we think the
time is right to buy now. We want to buy
right away. So I'm going to talk to you later
about on the show about that. But thank you for
trusting us. We had a really great conversation with the
(20:40):
top agent in the area that they want to buy
in and we set them all up yesterday and I
think they're going to have really great results by the
end of by Memorial Day weekend. I think we're going

the Eye four quartered or they want to be thirty
minutes to forty five minutes outside of downtown Orlando. And uh,
they've already picked a bunch of new construction communities.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
So I'm gonna say there's a ton of new construction ton.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And that's what they're That's what I zeroed in for them.
And the reason why I did that is this is
going to be like they're forever home. They're retiring and
they're moving down here. So just like with Jimmy, even
though that you know, you're not at retirement age. But
Jimmy when he bought his new construction home, some of
the benefits was super low insurance. Didn't have to worry
(21:40):
about your roof or your AC or your water heater
for at least ten years unless you got hit with
the cane, right, so you're in really good shape, you know,
worrying about cost control for the future, and that's what
they've decided to do. And I got them with a
great agent, which we'll talk about later, and they got
They're going to be really set up really well. Johnny.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Hey, I just want to do a couple of little
shout outs before I get to creepy critter. Vince is
a new person that's calling in because or checking in
because of Greg and Diane. I'll tell you about what
they said on the Facebook on the YouTube page in
a little bit. Lisa one of my favorite customers. I'm
sorry we played phone tag so much. Lisa also is
a seller buyer that had a great success story just
(23:26):
like Greg and Diane, about three weeks before Greg and
Diane and now they're up in Pombay and uh, I'll
call you next week Lisa to talk to you again.
Say hello to keV Go Dolphins. Francis, good morning as always.
She's such a regular honor show. You're one of our
biggest fans. Thank you Francis for checking us out. So
the alleged creepy critter this week is a man who's
(23:51):
been going to open houses and then giving a reason
to touch the open house realtors feet. He has a
foot fetish and he's going around touching rilter's feet and
this relter put.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
A, is it working?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Apparently it's happened a bunch of times.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Well just for you know, scientific purposes. What's the reason
he's giving.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Well for a friend, Well.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Well this lady on, this lady in Tampa, a realtor
in Tampa, and I feel really bad for her. So
I'm not making fun of you, and thank god you're safe,
because this can be serious. But I'm kind of being
a little light on it. But it is a serious
it can be very serious. Light to us because we're
not the one that had her exactly, it would be
kind of creepy.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
So that's why, although although she's responsible here too, because
she did go here, here's my feet.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Well, no, that isn't what happened with her. What happened
with her? Good question, Johnny. So what happened with her
is she was outside, he was he was there for
the open house, and they were standing outside and he
said that she had a bug. Crawling up her leg,
and so she jumped right away and she was like
smacking her leg to see if she can get the
thing off, and he goes, no, no, now it's going
(25:00):
in between your foot and your shoe or something. So
he said, let me help you, and he basically took
the shoe off and started cressing her foot, and she
got creeped out and she put it on social media
and then like a couple other agents said that happened
to me in Tampa too. It must be the same guy.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Crawling on your leg.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Tracks it works, it works.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Yeah, it's a great pickup, like, hey, you've got an
ant on your foot.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
No, I think it went down your shirt.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Yeah, so creepy critter not a good creepy critter at all,
and alleged creepy critter right now, so.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's super creepy.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
And he targets. He targets open houses.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Apparently that's what he's doing in Tampa.
Speaker 12 (25:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I'm sure now.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Here, ladies, make sure you wear your full new balances.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Yeah I know. Right. Well, well, here here's the thing
that happened actually to the open house. Said five Dan
be Place and Point Beach that seanachran is going to
do today from one to three. The last time we
did the open house over there was about two weeks ago,
and Chris Peterson on my team and another agent. We're
there to handle the open house, Haley, and we had
(26:14):
about eight people come into the house. And this really
gets me mad when they come in and look at
the house. They want to come in and look at
the house, but they don't want to give you any
other information, so they won't give you their name, they
won't give you anything, but they think they have the
right to walk into the house. And my attitude is,
and I'm sorry, but my attitude is, if I don't
(26:35):
know who you are, you're not walking into my customer's
house right now. If you're with an agent, that's a
little different. I'm not going to ask you your name.
I'm going to ask for the agent's information. But if
you're just coming in, I need to know who you
are in case something like this happens. So one of
the things that was popping my head, I don't know
if this realtor actually got the person's information or not.
You know, before she's shown in the backyard, and a
(26:58):
lot of agents do not do that. And if the
buyer says they don't want to give the information. Most
agents aren't going to say, well, I'm sorry, I can't
let you in, but until you meet me, because I'm
going to say I'm sorry I can't let you in.
I'm a former crime reporter. You know, they could be
casing out your place to figure out, hey, is this
place vacant or not? Maybe I can come in and
(27:19):
take all the appliances when everybody's gone. You know what
kind of lock boxes on it is a super lock
box or one of those ABC one two three, you know,
home depot cheap lock boxes. You know, they might be
scoping my customers out. So you really need to have
make sure that your realter is keeping your property safe.
And the realtors need to be safe too, So they
(27:41):
need that information in case God forbids something bad happens.
Because what you know, being a former crime reporter, what
I was wondering is how do this How does this
realtor and the other victims know that it's the same
guy unless they grabbed information or got a picture or something.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Most importantly, Yeah, because every time I go to case,
some plays out and they asked my idea, I'm like,
I'm Mike row Mortgage exactly, yes, and that's exactly how
I put it.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
And it's row Our auc.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I'll be on the radio next Saturday.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
So anyway, that's that's my creepy critics story for the week.
Wanted to uh on the flip side, We're going to
do something that we haven't done in a very long time.
We have very special guests here, Greg and Diane. They
came to me in January to sell their home and
buy a new home, and they really made a decision
(28:35):
that now is the time, and they wanted to make
sure that it's a little stressful doing that. And we're
going to get into the whole thing of the seller
buyer and how we structured everything for them, and what
their experience is when they went through the process, and
any teachable moments for other people that through their eyes
that can tell them through the consumer's point of view,
what they would do differently or the same Uh in
(28:58):
that situation. I'm really excited to have that conversation on
the flip side.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Excellent, that sounds great, And yeah, I'm guessing there are
a bunch of people that are very intrigued by these
details because I would think that most people that are
considering of making a purchase anytime soon, like me and
my family, are gonna have to deal with the sale
of some property first. Be that seller buyer I very much,
I'm on that train. And if you are too, great

Yeah, and this is just Diane's like awesome too, just
by the way.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Exactly, and we're gonna ask him to ask Diana question
about that because there's a very common thing that happens
when a husband and wife asked me to comes. So,
uh yeah, So I'm really excited to have Greg and
Diane on the show today. They are seller buyers Johnny.
We have talked about him, Uh what do you call
(32:48):
it when they're not around when you talk about him,
But we've not behind their back, but you know what
I mean, like when they're not present. We've talked about
him on the show a couple of times about a
couple of things. And now we have the end results
to we're going to show exactly how it all happened
and kind of peel away the onion, if you will,
or or what is it the arto choke or you
peel it away and you try to find out what's inside.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
That's that's that's a that's an interesting reference, so I know, right, yeah,
it's probably more universal.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
So I wanted to I wanted to start off with
a little intro and then we're going to go into
a timeline. Here's a little ditty about Jacket Diane. Actually,
Greg and Diane, here's a little ditty about Greg and
Diane living in Coral Springs and looking for the promised land,
found their dream home in Boyton Beach. Now their life
(33:38):
is like eating peaches and cream. So Greg came to
us UH in January of this year saying that it
was time to had to sell his house and buy
a new home, and he wanted to UH. In my
notes that he took when he called me, it was
like January eighth. Actually he said that he wanted to
(33:59):
sell his home in Coret Springs. You had a large
three thousand and have a large three thousand square foot
home in Coral Springs, and they wanted to downsize and
moved to Palm Beach County, Central Pombage County somewhere to
be closer to their kids and everything in their grandkids. Correct,
that's what you guys are trying to accomplish. Am I
wrong about that?
Speaker 11 (34:18):
We Actually we moved further. We moved further from our grandkids,
which is the only Oh I thought they're still half
hour away.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Oh yeah, it's still close. Okay, okay, But.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
So the opposite. They wanted to get further, they.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Wanted to get away from the grandkids.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Then we get a little further away to them.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
I know that's that's true, but we want to make
funn of yet welcome to the Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. So, No,
they're great grandparents because I know they can take care
of their uh babysit their grandchild all the time, their
granddaughter all the time. For the kids.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I was gonna say, you guys are great grandparents ready,
you are not that old yet.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
And that's true. I say great grandparents that way, and.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Then there's a certain image for great grandmar they're.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
A really good grand there. But so you guys were
basically trying to downsize, right and uh, you know, getting
ready for the future. Right. It was time to retire
and get set up for your next chapter in your life,
the fun chapter of your life.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Right.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
So we met on So we you called us on
January eighth, and you told us what we were trying
to get accomplished. And then I'm just going to give
a timeline of what happened from start to finish and
then we'll we'll get into it. So then we met
on January seventeenth, and we did a lot that day.
I think I was there two and a half hours
or something, which is a normal process for a seller
(35:42):
buyer because there's so much going on. We got to
figure out not just selling the house, but how, you know,
what is it going to look like when you buy something,
and making sure it all works. So when we when
I meet with the seller buyer, the first thing we
do is review the home of the you know, review
the house, look at the can vision of the house,
find out about the upgrades, and discuss staging situations, which
(36:06):
we're going to talk a little bit about later with
you guys. And then we kind of then we look
at the comps and then based on the comps, we
set a price. It's very important. Pricing is very important
when you're a seller buyer. And then we do what's
called a seller net sheet, and that is a calculation
to determine if the house sells at the price that
we're predicting, how much money will they have in their pocket.
(36:28):
And this is very important for a seller buyer. A
seller buyer is because they're counting on that money to
buy the new home, and if they don't get the
money that they're budgeting they might screw everything up on
the back end, and you don't want that to happen.
Then what we did is a quick view of the
properties that they were thinking about what they were searching
for before they before we met on the seventeenth, So
(36:50):
they showed me some of the properties that they liked,
and they gave me a breakdown of the type of
properties they were looking for. We did a quick search
that day just to see what was going on, to
get a flavor if it was going to be hard
or not to find a home for them. And then finally,
and this is probably one of the most important parts
of the meeting on January seventeenth, was understanding the contractual
(37:12):
parts of the contract to make sure that you're protected
both on the sale side and the buy side, so
that if something goes wrong with one of those transactions,
you're not stuck. And here's where the chicken and the
egg comes in. How am I supposed to put my
house on the market if I don't know what I'm
going to buy, So I'll just go out and go
(37:33):
find a house first. But if you need the money
from the sale of your home and you find the home,
most sellers are not going to go into contract with
you unless you're already at least in contract, and usually
even a little farther along than that. So it becomes
the chicken in the egg. I don't want to sell
my home because I don't know where I'm going to live,
and I don't know where I'm going to live, so
I don't want to put my home on the market, right,
(37:54):
So that becomes very stressful, right, guys, very okay, So
we had to go over that contractual part, and that's
probably the most the biggest stumbling block for most people
of trying to get their head around how am I
going to get this accomplished. So then what happened was
on January twenty eighth, So it took about eleven days
from the day that we met to get the photos taken,
(38:17):
and then on February sixth we put the house on
the market. Why did we put it on the market
on that date because it was a Thursday, and we
always put our houses on the market Thursday unless the
seller tells us not to. Why do we put it
on the market Thursday? Johnny? Do you remember.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
I do?
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Has something to do with yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
So the reason why we put the house on the
market Thursdays. And I've been doing this for like twelve
years now. Is I read these studies from the National
Association of realter that when you put your house on
the market on Thursdays. I didn't know that your house
usually sells a little faster. You get a little bit
more money, a higher sale price, and it takes a
(39:03):
little less time to sell the home. So we always
kind of go with the statistics. I have theories on
why that happens like that. So we put the house
on the market on February sixth, February tenth, we started
looking at properties for you guys, right, we started looking.
We didn't really find anything the first one or two
times we went out February fourteenth. We put the house
(39:24):
on the market on the sixth, February fourteenth. Boom, Coral
Spring's house is under contract, right, which really exciting. We
had a really good buyer because they were cash but
we were having a glitch with them because they weren't
giving us enough time to make Greg and Diane feel
comfortable to find their new home, and they felt like
they were going to be trapped to maybe sell their
home without having a new home to buy, and they
(39:46):
were very concerned about that.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
So this cash buyer wanted a quick close or a
normal clothes.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
They wanted to They wanted a normal to a quick
to normal clothes, but then allow them to stay in
the house until they found their new home. But that
got Greg and Diane very concerned because what happens if
they didn't find the home they wanted, they would have
felt pressured to buy anything, yeah nobody, just to get out,
and they didn't want to do that. So we went
back and forth for a few days, but we got
(40:12):
the offer was really good, the number was very good.
Then what happened is the very next day we went
out to look for their house. No, the day that
we went to look at the home that they ended
up buying. That's when we got the contract for their home.
And then the next day we went into contract for
the home they wanted to buy. So then once we
knew that, then we could negotiate with the buyer side
(40:34):
in order to negotiate better terms. And then I'm almost done,
and then we're going to ask Greg and Dane a
bunch of questions. So then on the seventeenth we had
the inspection for the Coral Springs home they were selling,
and then on the twentieth we had the inspection for
the house they were buying. And then on April seventh
we closed both properties. We closed in the morning on
the Coral Springs home and then later that afternoon they
(40:56):
closed with the money from the Coral Springs home to
buy their home in Point and Beach, which also was
a cash purchase.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
What an exhausting emotional day that must have been.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
Oh, and then they had a move. Don't forget they
had to move that day too. Crazy town.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
It was crazy like Champs that night.
Speaker 5 (41:14):
Oh do you mind if I tell you I got it.
I got a picture Johnny the night before, a couple
of nights before you're closing, And it was a picture
of two camping chairs and an air mattress. And they go,
this is the furniture in our house now? And how
long did you guys live like that week and a half?
A week and a half two camp folding camping chairs
and an air mattress. And that's what they had, right Exactly?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Do you had hot water? Yeah, you had air conditioning.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
I forgot to tell you a minimalist.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Everything else is just fluff.
Speaker 10 (41:45):
Exactly you should have been there.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Ross kind of wasn't spirit next time.
Speaker 6 (41:50):
Next time I bring my own air matress, it goes
and camping chair and uh.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
And Ross was involved in this transaction too. Unfortunately Mike
wasn't because it was all cash deals. But Ross was
there for the insurance station to get you the insurance
on the new home, which had a brand new roof.
Was the new roof up it? Love it? So that's
the whole process. They called us on January eighth and
April seventh. They're in their new home, right. It was
just like that. Now, there could have been a lot
(42:16):
of things that could have really screwed up that both
those deals that could have got very complicated, but there
was a lot of communication and we had to do
a lot of strategizing with both deals in order to
make sure you're protected. So the first thing I wanted
to ask you guys, is what was it? Why did
(42:37):
you decide to make the move right now? Because I
looked at my notes and I guess back in twenty
twenty two or twenty twenty three originally reached out and
then decided not to do anything at that time, which
is very common. But why was twenty twenty five the year.
Speaker 13 (42:56):
Well I'll take this, you know. So really one of
the key when I originally reached out to you, it
was we were thinking about retirement at age you know,
sixty five, all right or so, and and so we're
we're at that point talking about maybe a zero beach
move or something like that. But late last year a
(43:17):
couple of things happened. But late last year, you know,
my company merged with another company and my position was eliminated.
So I was like, you know, why wait to downsize?
Speaker 10 (43:28):
Right?
Speaker 13 (43:29):
We know we're going to be saving a lot of money,
so you know, if we could downsize and pay off
a more you know, and pay off the home, have
no mortgage, that would be ideal. And so we decided,
why wait, let's just do it now, Let's pull the
trigger now. And that's why we reached out to you
in January.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Yeah, and it so all this talk about people saying
it's a really bad you know, it's so funny right now, Johnny,
can I just interjectalquick?
Speaker 3 (43:56):
So all the things that happened in life, Dick, take
to your reasoning, right right. I feel weird saying this.
I'm almost glad that your merger happened to force it,
because who knows what our market looks like. If you
wait until you feel like now is the time, I
think almost being forced to do it might have been
a wonderful like just Ray, shunt a sunshine on, need
(44:19):
to be like here do this.
Speaker 13 (44:20):
Yeah, it's interesting you say that because we talked about
that a lot. Yeah, we've talked about that a lot.
How you know this was Everything happens for a reason, right,
I think it's in a weird way. Yeah, so it
was silver lining. I mean we were able to downsize,
got the perfect home, the home we wanted, and no mortgage,
so it's beautiful. You know, it worked out really well.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
You know.
Speaker 11 (44:41):
On top of that too, when you were talking about
you know, going meeting with us with the net sheet
and everything, I mean you were right on target. I
mean it couldn't have been. There was no no surprises
of closing costs extra and everything. I mean really, I
mean it was pennies within pennies of what I expect.
I'm the finance one, so you know I was looking
at the numbers and it was you were really good.
Speaker 5 (45:02):
Yeah. I appreciate that, Diana, And that's that's one of
the things I want to ask you specifically because this
happens to me so much. So usually it's the guy
that called. If it's a married couple, it's usually the
guy that calls me up and says, hey, I want
you to come over and take a look at my
house or whatever I want to sell I want to buy.
And then you get there and then the spouse is there.
Usually the spouse has their arms crossed and they've usually
(45:25):
got purse lips right, and they're sitting there and they're
looking at me. He's like, why is my husband, my
crazy husband, bringing this radio guy in to do something
with our house? How did you feel when Greg says, hey,
I'd like to bring this guy over I've been listening
to from the radio show. How did you feel about? Really?
How you feel?
Speaker 11 (45:42):
Now? I was fine with it because actually I used
to listen not to the whole show like Craig, you know,
but I would listen to you, and you know, and
Greg would felt so much of you, so, you know,
from when he had been knew more.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
So I was fine, Oh good, good, I'm glad because
usually people are sitting there and they're like, I can't
believe this guy's here and then I have to confront that,
you know, And I just asked the spouse, Hey, do
you have any idea who I am? And if they don't,
then I really focus the meeting to them, because the caller,
you know, or the fan, if you will, they already
heard me say this a million times over, you know
(46:18):
what I mean. Usually they hear because what I say
and Johnny knows this when he worked for me at
the time. What I say on the air is what
happens in real life. Right, there's no like, there's no
glitz and glamour of the radio show, and there's a
bait and switch with me.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
What's kind of the setup for the show over thirteen
years ago is you guys got to deliver like you
say deliver or I can't be a part of your show.
Like I just can't. It has to be what you
say it's going to be, and then I can be
a part of it. If it's not, I'll find someone else.
And they deliver pretty much across the board, which is excellent.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (46:48):
I've been listening for years, you know, and that's one
of the things that and when we first started talking,
that's when I think Diane started listening to the show too,
so I kind of pulled her in. She's like, who
is this Jim guy and that, you know, and she
started listening and really became became a fan. But just
hearing all the people that you've helped and call in
and and you know, hearing the positive confirmation, you know
(47:10):
that that you're doing the right thing. And and so
that's obviously what helped us make the decision to just
give you a call when it was time.
Speaker 8 (47:18):
And one of the things you said, Diane too, is
knowing your numbers, you know, knowing what those closing costs are,
how important that was for the whole transaction and knowing
what you're going to do. And it falls back to
that saying, and we we say it because I had
the same process too. I mean, it's my situation worked
out a little bit different where I was able to
stay in our home until our new house was built.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
So that was just a way.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
That Jim was able to negotiate with the buyer. That's
how it worked out for us.
Speaker 8 (47:45):
That's why every buyer seller and every transaction is always
like Johnny says, the snowflake it all, you know, but
there are certain aspects that do apply each time, and
one of them is know your numbers.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
Numbers.
Speaker 5 (47:57):
Oh, I'm sorry, I totally forgot. We had the caller on.
So do you mind if we just take the caller
and we'll come right back to this.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Okay, if he'd like to Okay, you want to do that?
Speaker 4 (48:05):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (48:05):
Well Patrick called in and Patrick is selling his parents
house and it's a little dated. Didn't he had some
questions about that? Patrick, Welcome to Florida talk real estate.
Speaker 14 (48:16):
Yes, come on, fellas, I hope you can hear me. Okay,
I'm in the car.
Speaker 5 (48:19):
No, you sound great, Patrick, thank you.
Speaker 4 (48:21):
Yeah, he sounds really good. Thanks for your patience.
Speaker 14 (48:22):
Good, okay, good morning. My folks they're in their nineties,
so they are now in an assistant living situation and we,
my brother and I are selling their home. It's located
in tom Tamarack down in Browlett County. The Walk. It's
one of those leisureville type homes Stuccoholmes, you know, on
(48:46):
one floor, old time Florida homes. Yeah, but walking into it,
it's kind of like walking into the nineteen seventies. They
haven't remodeled bathrooms, they haven't remodeled kitchen, you know, to
pink tub and all that kind of stuff. Anybody that
the realtors bring in to take a look at it.
(49:08):
And this has been going on since Christmas time, I
believe it or not. They all say that the asking
prices semi okay, but they want a big, huge credit
because of their expense future expense to remodel the home
to bring it up to current styles. Is that typically
(49:33):
the way it's going it goes with.
Speaker 5 (49:35):
How many showings have you gotten since December Patrick, roughly,
oh like twenty thirty five? A dozen, a dozen, okay,
a dozen over four months. So you're only getting like
one showing a week. You know, you're only getting one
showing a week. It is very slow right now, okay,
(49:56):
but one showing a week is is kind of weak,
if you will. And two to three showings a week
hopefully you know that isn't like on fire. But it's
a steady stream of people coming to look and you're
just waiting for the right one. So the two things
I'm hearing is number one, you're not getting that many
showings for as long as it's been on the market,
which is definitely a price versus condition issue, which we're
(50:20):
going to talk about with Greg and Diane because we
had some things to be concerned about when we were
putting their house on the market to get it sold.
We didn't want to be overpriced. Here's the thing, Patrick,
in today's market, the buyers are very picky. They have
a lot of choices. So if you're not priced, we're
the buyer, not you. But the buyer sees value in
(50:41):
the property at the price that you're asking, they're not
even going to come to the house, and if they do,
they're not going to make an offer if they think
that you're overpriced. And when I say overpriced, I remember
talking to somebody just a couple of days ago, one
of the customers, and we were talking about a ten
thousand dollars price differential between what we were going to
(51:02):
list it on and they were like, really, ten thousand
dollars makes that much difference, and I'm like, yes, it can.
And you'd better off being ten thousand lower and being
wrong and having multiple buyers than being ten thousand dollars
over what it's really worth. And then nobody comes right.
Speaker 14 (51:22):
So we have low with the asking price by about
twenty five thousand.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
That's pretty significant. Because I know that area. I grew
up in Sunrise, Okay, so I know that area really
really well. I went to Piper High School, you know
all of that, so I know that area very well.
So a twenty five thousand dollars price drop is significant.
It sounds like to me, though, that your realtor really
didn't crunch the numbers the way that, let's say I
(51:48):
would crunch the numbers to get you the results that
you wanted. Like if you told me you wanted to
explore the market and try to push the price point,
I would work with you on that, but at a
certain point I would say, hey, Patrick, this isn't working
and we've got to do something before it gets too
long in the teeth and we need to or too
(52:09):
long in the tooth and adjust the price and be
proactive on this. My recommendation to you would be go
back to your realtor ask them for full comps. What
is full comps? Not the realtor showing here. Here's three active,
three pending, three sold. This is what I think your
house is worth. What you want to do is going
into that community. You want every home sold. You don't
(52:31):
care if it's two bedroom or three bedroom. You want
a list of all the home sold in the last
six months, all the pendings, all the active, you want
all the canceled, all the expired, and you also also
want expire cancel to withdrawn. Why do you want those
in the last six months? You want to know if
everybody's given up and just taking their house off the market,
(52:54):
because you might be basing your price based on houses
that are never going to sell, and then you're completely
off You're off track. That's how I would handle it
if I were you, I would not fix the house up.
I would not fix it up.
Speaker 14 (53:08):
Oh no, no, we're going to do that. Yeah, And
luckily my folks are at or they handle their money
well and it's it's not like they need it to
stay where they are now, but it would be a
really nice addition cash wise to their savings account to
keep them comfortable.
Speaker 5 (53:27):
Yes so, yes, so.
Speaker 14 (53:30):
We we don't want to remodel it ourselves.
Speaker 5 (53:32):
Yeah. So you it's all about price then, right, It's
price versus condition of the home, and you really got
to look at the other homes is sold at your
price point that you're asking right now and compare your
house to that house. How old is that roof compared
to your roof. Do you have impact windows or accordion
shutters or anything and they don't, or vice versa. Do
(53:53):
they have a new kitchen, new floring, new paint and
you don't, and you're at the same price, Well, then
you're at the wrong price. And you really got to
look at your competition and see where you stand with
your competition and be brutal about that. Don't play games.
Don't play mind games with yourself because the mind games
in today's market, you're not gonna win that game. In
(54:14):
COVID you could win, you could go way above and
people would probably still come to you, but not in
today's market. Prices everything in today's market.
Speaker 4 (54:22):
Johnny, Yeah, absolutely, Hey, best of luck to you.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
You have a great rest of your weekend.
Speaker 8 (54:48):
We got one more caller there, Jimithy we do. We
have Peppe on the line. He wants to talk about roofs. Peppy,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (54:55):
How you doing today, Bud?
Speaker 12 (54:57):
Hey, guys, listen, Jim Jim de Polanks.
Speaker 5 (55:00):
Oh, Frank?
Speaker 4 (55:01):
What hey?
Speaker 5 (55:02):
Yeah? What's going on?
Speaker 12 (55:04):
How you doing?
Speaker 5 (55:04):
How you doing?
Speaker 12 (55:05):
Listen? I'm going through this roof thing right now. I
got a couple of questions for you. I've decided to
go with a claims adjuster. Was that a good move
or a bad move?
Speaker 5 (55:15):
Okay? So we got rough roof on the roof? Right?
We have Ross kamarainets here from bright Way Insurance. Frank,
so this is the perfect time to take this call.
Speaker 12 (55:25):
Before I go. But before I go to that point,
let me ask you this. I look this thing up.
I've been talking to people and talking to people. I
look this thing up on the internet the other day,
and now it says it's fifteen years that you got
to put a new roof on. Is that right? What's
going on with this.
Speaker 5 (55:42):
Ross? I never heard anything about that, right.
Speaker 6 (55:45):
I Mean, there's no regulation that says you have to
replace your roof after a certain amount of years.
Speaker 4 (55:51):
It's all going to be a carrier to carrier, carrier
to carrier.
Speaker 6 (55:54):
As long as you got five years of useful life left,
you're good to go.
Speaker 5 (55:57):
Yeah, so long as you have five years useful life,
you always can get citizen's insurance right ross, So as
far as it stands right.
Speaker 2 (56:04):
Now, Yeah, for the most part.
Speaker 5 (56:06):
Yeah, if we're talking about roof only.
Speaker 6 (56:08):
Yeah, I mean if your roof, if you have a
shingle roof that's twenty five years old, Yeah, your only
option is going to be if it would have to
have five years of life left, and at that point
your only option is going to.
Speaker 5 (56:17):
Be citizens Frank, Frank's a little Frank's a little on
edge because he just found out recently that the water
system in the community he lived in damaged the piping
for the supply lines and he had to rip out
all the supplying lines and put them back into that jees.
And so he's already gone through that. Now he's got
to deal with the roof. So he's kind of you know,
he's going through stuff, and he's not like he's on
(56:41):
a set income right now, so they are all like
real right, like a lot of people. So he's in
he wants to make sure he's trying to save as
much money can. He did take care of the piping,
but there shouldn't be any concern according to what Ross
is saying, Frank, as far as the rules changing about
out the useful life of the roof and things.
Speaker 12 (57:02):
Like that, Well, I could tell you this is that
my subdivision has sixty two homes and every roof is
being replaced. We'll talk to the homeowner's association. I talked to.
Everybody's replacing there. About half of them are already been done.
And the homes are all built in two thousand and three,
two thousand and four, that's when they were built. And
(57:24):
so it's twenty years and everybody's having to take their
roof off.
Speaker 2 (57:27):
That's pretty normal.
Speaker 4 (57:31):
There's probably the time they're do it.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
I bet you get a little bit of a break
price if you're doing all the roofs, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (57:35):
Yeah, And I mean even pre pre the madness, pre
the madness, you know, typically it was twenty years for
like the most a carrier would give you is twenty
years on a shingle roof. Yeah, but you know the
every carrier, some carriers were eighteen and some carriers were
always fifteen.
Speaker 5 (57:55):
I hear Frank saying, no, noing what he's talking.
Speaker 12 (57:57):
No, no, wait wait wait. I was in the construction
business my whole life. I was a superintendent, project manager.
There was never the roofs for guarant.
Speaker 5 (58:07):
You're not, Frank, just like right, he's somehowt warranty versus
insurance And that's two completely different things, Frank. So one
is the manufacturer saying we're guaranteeing your roof, you know,
for you know, for product failure for thirty years. That
doesn't mean the insurance company is going to agree with that,
and they they have a different criteria. So it's like
(58:32):
it's almost like a don Quixote to uh, you know,
trying to tilt the windmill, trying to argue that because
the insurance company is going to give you what they
think that that roof is good for, and then you
get to test it, and then you get to test it.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Take the roof out of it.
Speaker 5 (58:48):
Right.
Speaker 6 (58:49):
Tex plumbing is awesome, Right, People use PAX all the
time in construction. A lot of insurance companies don't like it,
right and won't accept it, won't insure it.
Speaker 5 (58:58):
So that's what you have to understand, Frank, it isn't
the actual warranty on the roof itself. It's how long
the insurance companies are going to give you for that
type of roof and the condition it is when you
do when you go to renew.
Speaker 12 (59:11):
But can I ask you this question seriously? And I
mean this, I understand what you're saying. I understand iand
I understand the whole thing. But I had never Seriously,
I'm seventy two years old. I've never heard of you
having to rip off for a roof ax for twenty years,
my whole life that I've lived in Florida up until
the last year or two.
Speaker 5 (59:31):
No, that's what's been going on now, I mean since
our show.
Speaker 6 (59:35):
Yeah, I mean we've going pre pre the madness twenty
years for a shingle roof that was the Max carriers
would give you. And I mean, I can tell you
even back then seeing a roof older than very rarely
did we see a roof older than twenty years five
years ago, you know, six, you know, ten years ago. So,
(59:58):
and I mean it's not like they just started building houses, yeah,
you know, so, I don't know why, but like the
roof age has become such a big deal. But I
mean again, five years ago, twenty years was the max,
and now a lot of carriers are still getting close
to that twenty years. So I mean things are Things
have definitely gotten.
Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
Yeah, they're turning around a little bit. Which we talked
about the last week on the show is that things
were getting better. So, I mean, it's not great, don't
get me wrong. My sister when I told her that,
she gave me the dirtiest look you know what I mean,
because she goes, it's not getting better, but it is,
it is getting it's starting to slow down.
Speaker 12 (01:00:34):
Yeah, ever, okay, okay, all right, all right, I'll have
to listen to what you're saying. But I'm serious. I've
lived in Florida for forty six years. I'd never heard
of ruf's having be ripped off after twenty years.
Speaker 6 (01:00:46):
Nobody's making I mean again, nobody's nobody's requiring anybody to
replace their roof. As long as your roof has at
least five years of useful life, you're good, right, So
there's nobody out there that's going around and telling people
that you have to replace your roof.
Speaker 12 (01:01:07):
So, in other words, if you mean, let me let
me get this strict. If you go, if I go
and buy a house tomorrow that's thirty three years old
as a shingle roof, there's no requirement to take that off.
Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
You just.
Speaker 6 (01:01:23):
I mean, as long as it has five years of
useful life left.
Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
There's a test that you do or an inspection that
you do, Frank to determine the useful life. And inspector
comes out and they use certain criteria depending upon the roof, right,
Like if you've got barrel tile, they got to check
uplift of the tiles, moving the shingles. They're looking for
granular granulation loss and things like that, and shrinking of
(01:01:47):
the of the tabs, and they do all that stuff,
and they check out the facia and the sheathing to
make sure it's not soft, and how it's strapped in
and all that right, and then that's how they determine
whether or not you need to replace the roof or not.
It isn't just the age of the roof, it's the
condition of the roof. Because I've seen a ten year
(01:02:09):
old roof that yeah horrible, right, And I've seen I
just did one. We did one right before, Greg and
Diane where the roof was twenty two years old, but
it was barrel tile and it's still had eight years
useful life. So no big problem with that. So I
know it's frustrating your Frank. The other thing I would
say to you, Frank, if you haven't done it, is
maybe you should take advantage of one of those state
(01:02:30):
programs and try to get the discount. I don't know
if you're doing that, but you should do the hardhole
that my save Florida Home. Yeah, that my say Florida
Home program. It'll save you some money. Frank.
Speaker 12 (01:02:39):
It's not open right now. It's not open.
Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Yeah, that's I think.
Speaker 6 (01:02:44):
Are they Are they accepting applications or not? Like, are
you getting put in the back of the line at all?
Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (01:02:51):
No, it's you just can't you can't apply.
Speaker 5 (01:02:53):
You can't even apply right now. Okay, that sucks. Well, Frank,
we got another call and I got to get back
to Greg and Diane. If you need me, you know what,
you always talk off the earth, so you can give
me a call at any time. But thank you for calling.
Speaker 12 (01:03:05):

Hey, I'm doing good, Johnny. Since we're talking about May stuff,
my sister's birthday, Christine, is May fifth, So happy birthday
christ She's out there running around a river ranch and
on US I sixty Highway sixty.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
Is it like a dude ranch? Is that what they
call it.
Speaker 8 (01:06:54):
That's a kind of a camping. They have a trailers,
their mobile homes, all kinds of things to do for
the kids.
Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
Petty boy, you're up there right.
Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Now, of fun.
Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
It's a great place I've always wanted to go.
Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
Yeah, I heard.
Speaker 6 (01:07:07):
Once you get there, it's like they start banging you further.
You know, it gets little, you better bring two wallets.
Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
Yeah, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
About her, I've always wanted to go.
Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
You know what I love about it.
Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
It's like it's it's kind of like divided, so you
have like that that side right as they're talking about right,
and then there's like the property owners and the property
owners like kind of view all the others as like
you're not real River.
Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
I mean, I mean, I'm definitely not really.
Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
It's funny. Yeah, my sister, because she was born May fifth,
you know, when she was much much younger, she just
thought everybody was celebrating her birthday all the time. It's like, yeah,
like everybody said birthday.
Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
When you mentioned birthdays. I doubt he's listening, but big birthday.
Shout out to uh Klepto if you're a longtime real
radio listener. Yeah, Klepto used to be in promotions and
engineering with us for a long time. He's celebrating a birthday,
and he was always a day after Franny.
Speaker 8 (01:08:05):
Yeah, fran yesterday yesterday.
Speaker 6 (01:08:07):
I'm guessing with that name, he probably can't listen because
he's in jail.
Speaker 10 (01:08:13):
I know, right, if you.
Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
Hadn't heard from him for a while. He's probably because
he's doing a stretch at ten to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
He might be for a lighter theft.

If you're interested, thank you. One to three today we

Yeah, so we got Greg and Diane in studio with us.
If you are looking on the stream, you see those
faces on there. Yeah, they are very happy customers of
the Florida Talk Real Estate team.
Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
Cele buyers sold their home, bought a home.
Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
They did that delicate dance with Jim and the team.
We're getting some details on their experience. Very happy, very
happy new homeowners. And I guess we have we have
their mover on hold, Jim.
Speaker 5 (01:09:44):
We do, we do. It's Peter Jolennik from Bald Eagle Moving.
Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
Peter, thanks for your patience. Welcome, you're on Florida Talk
Real Estate. How are you this one?
Speaker 6 (01:09:52):
We couldn't fit the air mattress in the two camping
chairs in the back of the car.
Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
Yeah, Peter, was a fast move. Did you use the
truck or you just used a Nissan Ultimo just started
on the back seat as I'm sorry, he was one
of our Tucks twenty six foot trucks. Yeah, right, so
(01:10:21):
what happened. One of the problems when you're trying to
sell a home and buy a home is logistically sometimes
it becomes very difficult to get the buyer to uh
the mover to work with that short timeframe, so they
were Greg and Danielle were looking for a mover, so
we recommended that they call Peter to see, you know,
(01:10:42):
at least get a quote and see what he says.
And what was your experience of working with bald Eagle Moving.
Speaker 13 (01:10:47):
Yeah, hey, hey Peter, it's Greg and Diane. Our experience
was fantastic. I mean, Peter, you know, couldn't have been better.
You know, his communication is fantastic. But the main thing
with the whole buyer seller was, you know, we had
to have them load up like on a Sunday and
then not deliver or not deliver until after the closing.
(01:11:11):
The closing was Monday, and then deliver on Tuesday. So
Peter was yeah, no problem. You know, everything with Peter
was was a no problem. You know, he brought us
boxes and wardrobes and everything we needed for the move
ahead of time. We did our own packing, but but
Peter's team was just phenomenal. These guys were the best
of both of us have ever seen. So it was great, Peter,
(01:11:35):
you did a great job for us.
Speaker 6 (01:11:37):
See you hear so many nightmare stories about movers, so
I mean it's nice that that that there's the good
movers available.
Speaker 5 (01:11:44):
That's one of the reasons why I have Peter on
here because I'm very grateful because it's very difficult when
I refer out people to contractors or you know, movers
or anything like that and they don't do a good job.
I feel really bad about it, even though it's not
my company or anything. And how many moving companies have
we had on this show over the last several years, Johnny,
we had three or four movers as sponsored the show.
(01:12:06):
They're not here anymore, and there's a reason we had
problems with every single one of them, where they just
weren't given the customer service we needed. So I highly
recommend that if you're looking for a reputable moving company,
that you've got to call All Legal Moving for a
quote for sure. Peter, where exactly do you cover in like?
(01:12:27):
Do you do out of state moves? Do you only
do in state?
Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
Like?
Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
What are your specialties?
Speaker 7 (01:12:34):
So we cover all over South Florida. Well be based
in Jupiter in a Bombage County, but we go anywhere.
We're doing any local, long distance, any kind of moves.
We specialize in personal service, meaning we'd go on to
to day. It's the flat rates, you know, we've we've
(01:12:57):
worked directly with a customer, so that's that's been my.
Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
Ill. We'll bright.
Speaker 5 (01:13:04):
Peter came to me because one of the real radio
listeners recommended that he call us to maybe buy a
home in the future. And then when we sat down,
when I was going over the buyer presentation, you know,
he's a mover, so his phone is ringing off the hook,
and logistically he's got to deal with all this stuff.
And one of my friends who used to own a
moving company, so I knew how they work, and I
(01:13:27):
watched Peter, and I watched how we talked to his crew,
and I watched how he called and responded to his customers,
which he had a bunch of phone calls when we
were together, and I was like, I'm liking this guy,
you know, I like what I'm hearing. He wasn't doing
it to be he didn't even know. I was kind
of monitoring it, and then that's when I started saying, Hey,
(01:13:47):
can I refer you out. We did give him to
Roberto Falcones at one point, and they loved Peter, but
they decided at the last minute that they were going
to do the family move where they got a couple
of friends and they all went up with the Kegger
and did the move kind of thing that way. But
they said they were so impressed with Peter and they
would have used them if they were going to use
a moving company. So I'm so glad that Greg and
(01:14:09):
Diane had that great experience because that's what I expected
to have.
Speaker 11 (01:14:13):
Yeah, and there wasn't even one complaint from Peter right
to his crew. Always, you know, everything this customer service
was on top of it, and he was always like
touching in things were going.
Speaker 5 (01:14:22):
That's awesome. I have a customer, Peter, that might be
moving to South Carolina. Do you do moves from like
Palm Beach County to South Carolina?
Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (01:14:34):
Yeah, okay, great, So I'm gonna talk to talk to
them about talking to you on We don't have the
listening yet, but when that happens, i'll let you know
right away. Okay, So, Peter, just one last question about
one question that I have for customers. How do you
know if the quote that you're getting from the moving
(01:14:55):
company is a legit quote, you're not going to be
bait and switched.
Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
So yeah, so pretty much you're looking in general, you're
looking for I would say too low of the quotes
if with the deal looking it's too good of the deal,
and you're looking if it's what the paperwork says. If
paperwork says binding estimate meaning flat rate, that's that's how
(01:15:21):
we operate. We give one number price which never changed,
and that's that's what we stand for. That's that's pretty
much what I would focus on in this point.
Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Yes, that binding, the binding quote is really really important
because there are just reputable movers out there that will
give you one quote. And then when they put this
stuff on the truck and they get it to where
it needs to go to go, hey, the truck's much
heavier than what we thought. We need you to pay
more money or you don't get your furniture back. And
you know, the Sun Sentinel did a big investigation like
(01:15:53):
thirty years ago about that, and they changed the state
law to not allow that to happen. And about eight
years ago they changed the law back. And now that
that loopholes out there, so you've got to be really careful.
And Peter offers binding quotes so you're not gonna have
to worry that the number is being changed. That's really
really important. So it's bald Eagle Moving right, Peter.
Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Correct?
Speaker 5 (01:16:18):
Okay, bald Eagle Moving in Jupiter.
Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
Website phone number?
Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
Yeah, could you go go ahead and put out your
phone number and a good way to contact you on
a website if you can.
Speaker 7 (01:16:29):
So, phone number five six one five three one four
six two seven and website's pretty simple. Baldego mooving dot com.
Speaker 5 (01:16:41):
Awesome. My last question on this is do you use
any moving brokers? That's another tip I want to give people.
Am I correct? That when you call up a moving
company you should ask are you the ones that are
going to be doing the move? Do you know what
I mean by correct?
Speaker 10 (01:16:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
That's correct. So like when you call Peter, Peter is
going to be the moving company. But there are a
lot of moving brokers out there that they're really not
going to do the job for you. They're just going
to take it. They're they're basically a middleman that's making
money off the spread, if you will, and that's costing
you more money. And on top of it, you don't
have the real mover giving you the real quote. With Peter,
(01:17:19):
you're getting the quote from the company that's bound. So
bald Eagle Movement is the way to go to at
least to get a quote and find out what's going on.
Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
Baldeagle Moving dot Com.
Speaker 5 (01:17:28):
Peter, thank you so much. I hope you have a
great weekend, and thank you for taking time out with
your son. I know you're with the sun right now,
so thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (01:17:35):
Thank you guys. Okay, thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
I have a great appreciate you. You have a great
rest of your weekend. That's a bald Eagle Moving dot com.
Speaker 5 (01:17:42):
Moving moving dot com.
Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
Yeah, perfect, great, great looking website too.
Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
Yeah. I haven't even checked it out yet.
Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:17:50):
Their trucks, their trucks are great looking to the truck.
Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
Yeah, I've seen their trucks on the road. Now, that's awesome.
So we've got Greg and Diane here and they're seller buyers,
and we were talking about the process and we went
over a timeline where they decided in January it was
time for them to move and they wanted to downsize,
and we went over the timeline. So they called us
on January eighth. We met on January seventeenth, and we
(01:18:15):
sold their house and bought their new home on the
same day of April seventh. That's a true seller buyer
deal because they needed the money from the sale of
the house to purchase their new home, and we did
what was called a simultaneous clothes That means you're selling
your house and buying your house on the same day,
and the money is being transferred from the sale of
(01:18:36):
your home to the other title company to purchase the
new home.
Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
How long were you homeless?
Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
Half hour?
Speaker 4 (01:18:42):
Oh was that your first time? And how was that experience?
Speaker 5 (01:18:50):
It was a terrible half hour, That's what I forgot.
Diane sent me a note she goes you made I
think it was explanation. You made us homeless for thirty minutes.
So that was really funny because that's the real thing
that people have to worry about when they're seller buyers,
like where am I going to live? That this does
goes wrong?
Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
And not to offend anybody there, they were residentially challenged.
Speaker 5 (01:19:16):
So so we So what do you think the key takeaways?
Because you did really have a smoothest glass situation. It
was really very smooth compared to some other customers that
have seller buyers. What do you think were the big
things that made you have such a smooth process.
Speaker 11 (01:19:36):
To start with? Can I just say hi to our course?
Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
Yes? The course, Hi.
Speaker 11 (01:19:40):
Liam, high elease, Hi THEO.
Speaker 5 (01:19:43):
Hey, guys, how old are they?
Speaker 11 (01:19:45):
Liam's five? This is going to be three this month?
And THEO is two?
Speaker 5 (01:19:51):
Five? Hey, THEO? THEO? What's their names? I'm sorry? THEO
and Elise and then Liam. You've met a I know
I met Elise. Yes, Hey, guys, now you're famous. You're
on radio for the first time.
Speaker 4 (01:20:07):
So cool.
Speaker 5 (01:20:08):
So that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (01:20:09):
So they are they all siblings?
Speaker 11 (01:20:12):
No, Alise and Liam are siblings, and THEO is actually
he's in Michigan, so but the other two in Broward County.
Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
Very cool.
Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
So Alas is so cute. She was very shy when
I met her too. She didn't really want to talk
about So what do you think were the key things
that made your process go through so smooth now that
you're looking back at.
Speaker 11 (01:20:35):
It, Well, I think, as you've been saying, hire the professionals.
I mean, I think, you know, with Jim and Nancy,
they were, you know, with everything that wasn't Jim, it
was Nancy. And it seems like you're always a step
ahead with the questions we had, you know, and concerns,
and you know, the joke is about my anxiety and
I do have a lot of anxiety about things and change,
(01:20:55):
and I know, you know, Jim knows about that, and
you know I find every what could possibly go wrong,
and my head goes through it, and so I ask
a lot of questions, and you know you were honest
with things, and I think you've protected us, and you
know it went much smoother than I expected.
Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
Well, you learned quickly, though.
Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
You gotta be careful how many questions you asked, Jim
that could be eight hours later you're still getting an answer.
Speaker 5 (01:21:17):
Yeah, well that's true. But Diane, I think was met
my match, if you will, because every time I answered,
she would actually hang up and they would call back
fifteen minutes later, go, we have another question. So it
was like and nothing wrong with that. Guys, you need
to know your answers. So I have no problem answering
any kind of questions people have. And I really appreciate
that you took the advice that I gave you and
(01:21:39):
you trusted the advice. I was doing it because I
had your best interest in heart to get the most
money you can get for your house without being unrealistic, right,
so that you could buy your new home and have
comfort knowing that your house was definitely going to sell
and that you were going to be able to buy
the new home. That's such a crucial thing. You don't
want to push in today's market. You don't want to
(01:22:03):
push the listing price too high or you're going to
turn off the buyers and they're not even going to
come to the house to even look at the house.
And we were talking at the time. I'm not talking
real numbers here, but the Coral Springs home was a
really nice home. When I walked in, I was so
happy when I saw it. It's a it's a nineteen
seventies home built in Coral Springs. It had a pool
(01:22:25):
that had a very big oversized lot. The community that
all the neighbors. It was just a really desirable community
and no ha and it had a really nice pull.
It had the old Florida pool. Is that is that
the true depth?
Speaker 4 (01:22:39):
Like?
Speaker 5 (01:22:39):
Is it a true eight foot pool? I never went
in the pool.
Speaker 10 (01:22:42):
No, it's six foot.
Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
Oh it's a six foot it was. But it's just
a really really nice property. And it had some upgrades
like impact windows. I think your roof was newer, if
I'm not mistaken, but the kitchen was I don't think
it was original, was it? But it was old still
the nineteen seventies house. So the kitchen, really we even
talked about it, what should When I looked, I said,
(01:23:06):
the only problem I'm going to see with the house
if we when we go to sell it is the kitchen.
While it's a really nice kitchen and everything to lay
out and everything's great, it stated, it isn't like you
have to rip it out tomorrow, but people are going
to probably want to upgrade it. So then it became
what are we going to do with the kitchen if anything,
And then you guys went out and got somebody to
(01:23:28):
look at refacing the cabinets and doing some things, and
then we decided it wasn't worth it and we'd just
go ahead and sell it as it is. And it
didn't really affect us because we sold the house in
twelve days, so and really two of those days I
think we're negotiating, trying to see if we can get
into contract. So we knew even earlier that we were
probably going to go into contract with the people. Now
(01:23:51):
pricing it was key to get your property done. The
other thing I think that gave you guys a really
great edge is your openness when you went to go
look at other properties. You had a very set budget
and you didn't want to go over it, but you
weren't unrealistic for what you could buy. And you got
a great deal, right, You got a really good deal
on the house that you did buy. But we knew
(01:24:13):
the first time we went out. I knew we would
find your home in a reasonable amount of time because
you never you were picky enough that you didn't want
to just buy anything. But you also knew that in
your budget you weren't expecting taj Mahal stuff or anything
like that, and that we were really looking at communities
that were affordable for you. And it was funny what
Frank was saying about seeing a whole neighborhood replacing roofs
(01:24:38):
and everything. I think your neighborhood there were a lot
of people replacing roofs at that time in the community,
but your roof has already done so you didn't have
to worry about it, which was a really big thing
for Diane. She really wanted and Greg, they really wanted
that newer roof, so we got him that. So then
we got under contract. But the problem we had was
is the buyer wanted to close early and then let
(01:24:59):
you live there basically for free, till you found your home.
But that was very scary to you guys, right, yeah,
So what was the fear about that, because that's a
real concern.
Speaker 13 (01:25:09):
Well, I think I think the biggest fear was, you know,
we living there sixty days. They said, hey, you can
live there sixty days, and we thought, you know, hey,
that's a really nice offer. But then at the end
of the sixty days, if we had not found our home,
then we'd literally be homeless. And that that really scared
the pants off of us, right. We didn't you know,
we didn't want to risk do anything to risk being
(01:25:31):
without a home. So that was our biggest fear, and
that's why, you know, we asked Jim, hey, can you
go back and talk to them? We you know, we this,
this worries us a lot.
Speaker 5 (01:25:42):
And I think there were one time at least during
the negotiations going back and forth that we actually said
I think it, tell me if I'm wrong. But I
actually did the little takeaway with them, words like maybe
this isn't a good match. Right.
Speaker 11 (01:25:57):
That was right, because we had in our contract that
we wanted sixty days for us to find a home,
to protect us. And then when they came back and said,
no on that, but you can stay there sixty days
and we won't while you're looking for your home, and
you know, we won't charge you or anything. And that
didn't like Greg said, it didn't make us feel comfortable. But
you were able to go back and negotiate with There
(01:26:18):
was one There was a few hours there where we
didn't know if they were going to if this wasn't
going to work, and it was, you.
Speaker 13 (01:26:25):
Know, and we would have walked away from it, like
you say, even though it was a great deal and
a cash deal, a great buyer, you know, we just
didn't want to have that risk factor.
Speaker 5 (01:26:35):
Stress, stress of not knowing.
Speaker 11 (01:26:37):
So we did the thirty days in the contract, right,
they gave us thirty which.
Speaker 5 (01:26:41):
They gave us thirty days to tell them are we
ready to sell the house to you or not. So
what that means is is the buyer wented a contract
with us not knowing for sure they were going to close.
They were hoping they were going to close, because they
were giving us thirty days to go find a home,
and if we couldn't find a home in days, we
had the ability to call them and say, I'm sorry,
(01:27:04):
we haven't found a new home. Either we'd like to
extend because that's what I was going to do, or
we're gonna have to cancel the contract and move on
and you could always come back to us later if
we go into contract, right, And we went back and
forth and they agreed, And let me tell you, those
buyers were really really nice too. They were very nice people,
just like you guys are, and everybody was very cooperative
(01:27:25):
on both sides for that, and that was making me
feel so good. It's like, wow, we really got a
really good opportunity here.
Speaker 4 (01:27:32):
Well they shared interest.
Speaker 5 (01:27:34):
Yeah, yeah, I mean they really did.
Speaker 4 (01:27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
And the goal is to get the closing, I think.
Speaker 5 (01:27:38):
So, yeah, the goal is to get to closing right
under contract, not just to go into contract. No, So
it's kind of like Seinfeld, it's more than just setting
the appointment. So so then the next thing we had
to do is find their new home. But I was
very confident, even though you guys were a little nervous
(01:27:59):
about it, I knew I was very confident you were
going to get your home because I saw how you
were reacting to the homes that we were seeing and
we probably looked at what nine ten homes.
Speaker 8 (01:28:08):
Yeah, you hadn't you weren't under contract would selling your house,
but you hadn't chosen where you were going to yet.
Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
Okay, well, thank you Johnny. I mean Jimmy, I didn't that.
Speaker 8 (01:28:21):
I can see the scariness of that.
Speaker 10 (01:28:23):
That's when the anxiety.
Speaker 5 (01:28:24):
Yet Jimmy did the opposite. He found his home before
he wanted to put it on the market, right, And
then we had plenty of time because they had to
build it, so we had plenty of time to sell it.
But with you guys, you guys have already made a
commitment to sell the house and didn't have a new home.
But you had an out. You had thirty days that
if nothing, you didn't find what you were looking for,
(01:28:44):
you could just pull out of the contract with no
penalty to you, right, and the buyers would have got
their deposit back. So we're not trying to hurt the buyers.
We just needed the time to find your home. So
we went out and looked at a couple of communities
and some of them we liked the communities but not
the house. Some of them communities we didn't like. And
where you ended up moving to in Boyton Beach. We
(01:29:05):
went to that community once before and didn't like the
house at all and wasn't even sure. We liked the
neighborhood so much now so the area that.
Speaker 11 (01:29:12):
We're in, the one we're in though we actually wanted
to remember we saw the house, we really liked it,
but it was just before we put our house on
the market. So and it sold that weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:29:22):
Oh oh, that's what happened. That's right. We liked that community.
I'm sorry. We looked at some there was some other
that like you're saying, yeah, but with that one, you're right,
and we were bummed out that it's sold and we
weren't ready yet. We missed out on that one. But
life gives you cherries when you be a good person
and you do the right things. And you guys did
the right things the whole way. So then we found
(01:29:43):
an even better home in my view, and what you got,
the home you got was awesome and we were very
lucky about that because Johnny, the person that was listing
it was a Keller Williams agent. Now the guy didn't
know who I was, He didn't know me personally, but
he knew my reputation, and I had been bugging him
for several days to get into that house because it
wasn't it was coming soon and they wouldn't let anybody
(01:30:07):
in the house, but we needed to get in, and
I kept bugging the agent and explained that I had
to sell the house to buy the house, which can
make the sellers very nervous, and he worked it out.
We were the first people to come in to see
the house. So the day it went on the market
was the day after we went into contract on Oh, no,
(01:30:28):
the day we went into contract on your house to sell.
We found the dream home right, and then when we
went there, I was very very nervous that day because
you guys loved it. I loved it. And there were
other people there showing the property and one of them
was a pilot. Do you remember that the pilot. And
I was like, this pilot's going to beat us out
for sure, because he wanted the furniture and everything like
(01:30:51):
like we did.
Speaker 10 (01:30:52):
But he lives down the road by the way.
Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
Now he.
Speaker 10 (01:30:57):
Bought the next house that came up.
Speaker 5 (01:31:00):
But we met his neighbors. Oh that is so cool,
and he got something too, because he was a nice
guy too. Well, we were talking to he was super
nice guy. Go oh, this guy's going to offer more
than we're going to offer. I think we're going to
lose out. I was so nervous for Greg and Diane.
And then we were gonna turn it in an offer,
and Lee goes, what the problem was? We turn it
(01:31:21):
and offer actually a little bit above list price, just
a little tiny bit half a percent above list price,
just to make it show that we were serious. But
at the same time, we asked for every stick of
furniture they had they were offering it, but they did.
They give you the plates in the silver room everything
the other house's plate.
Speaker 13 (01:31:40):
But they left the seventy five inch Sony TV. So
we're happy.
Speaker 5 (01:31:43):
And let me tell you that couple they bought that
house four years earlier or something like that, or three
years earlier, and they hired an interior designer to touch
every square inch of that house Johnny. So the pictures
on the walls and everything were were done by an
interior designer, and the house was nice, and they got
(01:32:04):
all the furniture that's what they had. They got everything
that they wanted, which was awesome, and those sellers were
just as nice as your buyers. So I had three
beautiful families we were working with at one time. It
was awesome. The agents were great, The title companies for
both sides are great because that's a logistical problem. So
(01:32:26):
that was a really big thing. But I want to
remember you mentioned about the anxiety thing Diane, and I
just want to say the funny story if you know,
my one more title. At one point when we were
getting in deep with Diane and Greg on the negotiations,
and it got a little scary because the sellers for
the house you wanted to buy did not want a
(01:32:48):
contingency that you needed to sell your home. And normally,
when we buy a house and we're selling a house,
we usually put in the contract for the purchase. Hey,
we definitely want to your house, but our house has
to close, and if our house doesn't close, we want
the ability to back out. And the agent told me, Jim,
we have multiple offers. If you put that clause in there,
(01:33:10):
I don't think the seller's going to take it. So
then we had to have the real conversation, are we
going to that wave that right that we were asking
for you? And normally I would say no. Normally I
would say this is a little risky. If you want
to take the risk, I'm okay, let's go down that
path together. But if you don't want to take the risk,
I understand it might not be a good match. Let's
(01:33:32):
move on. But that house was perfect for you. It
had the brand new roof, they had all the furniture.
The furniture had to be tens and tens of thousands
of dollars right, And I was like, this is such
a good deal. So because they were already hearing up
for your inspection on the home that you were having,
I knew that if because of our inspection period on
(01:33:53):
the purchase, that we would know before your inspection period
was done, whether your buyers were going to buy the
house or not. Because your buyers were cash, so all
we had to worry about was the inspection. We didn't
have to worry about appraisal or anything else, or a
lender or anything like that. So I was like, their inspection,
the buyer's inspection is going to end before we have
(01:34:16):
to finish our inspection, so that would give us the
out to pull out. So we didn't use that clause
on that one. We used the clause for the buyer,
saying Hey, we got to find a home, but we
didn't have the clothes for the seller, and Diane was
concerned about that, and I understand that was it. So
we started going over with Greg and Diana on the
phone all the things that could have went wrong that
(01:34:38):
would stop the sale, because that's what you're worried about.
You don't want to be homeless. And at one point
we went over all the different things that could happen realistically.
I said, guys, this is so rock solid. There's really nothing,
and they're like, well, what could go wrong? I go, well,
maybe you I was joking. I was saying, maybe you
guys are mass murderers and you won't be able to
pass the h aay, maybe you can't get it. Like, well,
(01:35:01):
that's not going to have I go, course not. And
I go, I'm not worried about title because that other
house was just bought four years ago, so it was
done recently, and you own the house forever, so you
know if your title is good or not. Right, So
we started going over all the things that normally could
kill a deal, and then you called back about the
(01:35:23):
title work. He's like, hey, we want to ask you
the problems that you said that we could have with
the title. And I actually was joking at that point.
I said, oh, my gosh, when I hung up with you,
I wish I never said that, because now I got
it in your head. And then and then, just to
show how confident I was, I was being kind of sarcastic,
(01:35:44):
and I said, well, if you really want to worry,
let's worry your house. Get bird down to the ground, right,
you're a house, gut bird down of the ground before
it's ready to sell. And I said, or the house
could blow up, right, that one of the houses could
blow up and you can't buy it. And you call
me back a little later, and Greg goes, I just
want to let you know. We rented the fire truck
to park out our house around. But then I was
(01:36:07):
doing research the very next week, and I was reading
articles about funny news stories, and I found out about
a house in Ohio that was under contract and it
was vacant and it didn't close because there was a
gas leak line gas line leak, and it blew up
the house into smitherings, like there was nothing left it
with cinders, just little bits and pieces of the house.
(01:36:29):
And I was like, oh, I guess I can't joke
around that. Well, maybe the house could blow up. Maybe
I shouldn't say that anymore. So, but it did go
through as smooth as it could go, and it was
good that you were concerned. You know, to be concerned
because what you don't know is the scariest part, and
asking questions is the most reasonable way to get to
the bottom of whether it can be done or not.
(01:36:52):
My last question about this part is were you guys happy?
Are you guys happy that you moved? Do you have
any buyer's remorse or sellers No?
Speaker 10 (01:37:00):
No, No, we're very happy.
Speaker 13 (01:37:02):
Yeah, we did the right thing, and I think we
it was perfect timing to do what we did, but
it was we're really happy we made the move.
Speaker 5 (01:37:11):
So this whole idea that it's a really bad seller's
market and it's really bad time to buy, did you
get that? Is that the way you felt when you
were going through this?
Speaker 11 (01:37:20):
No? Actually, you know. I mean we sold our house.
I think they they talked about the contract started like
within five days.
Speaker 5 (01:37:27):
I think it was. It was really soon.
Speaker 11 (01:37:29):
And then with buying our house, No, yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:37:36):
I think that.
Speaker 13 (01:37:36):
I think the key was with the whole net sheet
and when we sat down with you the initial you know,
sit down and going over everything. I think the key
was we we knew we could buy our home, sell
our home right and buy a home and and not
have a mortgage. And so as long as we were
comfortable in that, you know, the market out there really
(01:37:58):
didn't I should say didn't matter. But you know, we
were pretty confident we were at a good place as
far as the you know, the selling price on the home.
And you did a great job on that because I
know I was a little bit yeah, I think we
we could go higher, and you said, look, I really
think we ought to put it here, and that was
I think one of the best things we ever did.
(01:38:18):
We just we took your advice, you know, from start
to finish. But I think that was the main thing.
We were confident we could sell our home and get
into the home we wanted and do what we wanted
to do with just you know, get rid of a mortgage.
Speaker 5 (01:38:32):
And there's two other things. You went to Ross Premarats
to get the insurance for your home, and because they
had the new roof and everything, I'm sure they got
you got a pretty decent quote.
Speaker 10 (01:38:42):
Yeah, did a great job for us.
Speaker 13 (01:38:43):
Ross and his team, and that was that was great.
You know, we had another broker we had been with
for a long, long, long time fourteen years. They had
done a good job of keeping our insurance you know
where it should be. But but Ross, we just felt
very comfortable. The great thing is too about you know, Ross,
is being able to call and get him. The other
folks we were with, we weren't able to you know,
(01:39:04):
go right there and get to the owners and the
head folks.
Speaker 5 (01:39:09):
So do you know it? You know it right?
Speaker 11 (01:39:14):
One other thing too on that when I lost my
words there, so you know, even those there's so much inventory,
and but it was interesting. We were able to sell
our house really fast, which they say is not an
easy thing right now in this market. And also it's
a buyer's market because of all the inventory. But we
were kind of fighting for a house, so it was
you know, from what you could hear, the market is
(01:39:35):
on both sides. I don't think we kind of fit
the And did.
Speaker 5 (01:39:38):
You notice that the houses that weren't in good condition
you just walked away, didn't even want to make an
offer right because it wasn't price right based on the
condition right. But that house was totally on point and
price right. That's why you had the house you bought.
That's why you had competition. And frankly, you would have
had competition on the sale of your home if we
(01:40:00):
had it on the market longer, you might have got
extra people coming in. Well, remember we had that buyer
back up. Yeah, we had that tread I forgot. We
put a backup buyer in, just like we always do
in case the first person fell out. We wanted to
have the backup buyer because the house was popular and
it was priced right based on the condition because there
was some things people were going to want to do.
(01:40:21):
Chris are one of my agents on my team. When
he came to look at the house, and he loves
looking at the houses because he fixed them up and
everything goes. I love that house, he goes, but it
needs everything as a total gut job. And my attitude
was just because of the age of it, right, some
of this stuff, But my attitude is I wouldn't do
a gut job on that house. I would update the
kitchen and maybe update the master bath. And you know,
(01:40:44):
I'm good, you know what I mean. So it all
worked out really really well. Now, the other thing that
happened that a lot of seller buyers don't know about
is portability tax portability. So if I hadn't talked to
you about tax portability, would you even known that existed?
Speaker 11 (01:41:01):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:41:01):
Isn't that crazy? How much money do you think you
saved on your taxes because you took your tax rate
from your old home and brought it to your new home.
Speaker 11 (01:41:10):
Well, I think the percentage with that formula, what was
that was like fifty wasn't it fifty percent or something?
It's like a huge because of the years that we
were in the house and how much you When we
bought the house, it was at a low price. It
was during the bed times when the market was down.
Speaker 13 (01:41:28):
But when I bought that home, the realtor didn't tell
me anything about portability.
Speaker 5 (01:41:31):
So I I you had portability. They might, to be fair,
they might not have had portability twenty years they did.
Oh wow, So there you go. You had a real
crude that didn't even save you the money. Jimmy, when
you did your house, you did portability.
Speaker 8 (01:41:46):
Right, absolutely, And boy did this save us because we
were in a similar situation where the house that we
were living in I bought that in two thousand, So
I mean I had a lot of years there, and
of course you know, the rates have gone up and
up and up and up, so it really saved us
thousands each year.
Speaker 5 (01:42:04):
Yeah, each year, each year, thousands of dollars just for
people that don't know tax portability. If you own a
home and you're homesteaded, and then you go to buy
a new home and you want a homestead that home,
you could take your homestead rights from your first home
and the discounts that you saved over the years, and
then use it towards the new home. Because normally what
(01:42:27):
happens is, let's say Ross has a house and he's
got a tax bill of three thousand a year because
he's lived there twenty years. I'm just making up a number.
And then Johnny comes to go buy Ross's house, and
he buys it at today's current market value. The county
gets to come in and reset the tax bill for
Johnny based on the new purchase price. Then Johnny locks
(01:42:49):
in his homestead rights, and then the taxes can't go up.
Their capped is how far they can go up every year,
but that first year is pretty shocking. But if you
have tax portability, you can take the credits of what
you saved on your current home and bring it over
to the new home. So there's huge savings there, and
it could really make a big difference in a seller
(01:43:12):
buyer if they're on a tight budget.
Speaker 6 (01:43:14):
They don't try to really anything like hey, like when
you're selling, it's.
Speaker 5 (01:43:18):
So funny, nobody talks. I mean, I mean people use it.
It isn't like it's unheard of, but not enough people
use it because they just don't even know about tax portability.
Speaker 4 (01:43:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
I just feel like a title company should I know,
I know, like, hey, when you're are you going to
buy another house? Yeah, you know, when you're selling it, like, hey,
you could bring this with you.
Speaker 5 (01:43:38):
Yeah, they didn't.
Speaker 11 (01:43:39):
That one title company for our buyers meant to we
already knew about it from you, but didn't. I think
she did mention it.
Speaker 5 (01:43:44):
Yeah, one of the that's true, one of the title
companies did.
Speaker 4 (01:43:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
The time to bring it up is when they're like,
all right, so here's here's when you you need to
homestead buy right. I mean that conversation is having. I
would imagine it's an investor.
Speaker 5 (01:43:57):
Well, what we try to do, Johnny, is and we're
going to do this with you when you start right,
We're going to give you a page from the county website.
Is that the tax collector and the property appraiser I
can't remember on the property appraiser site, which we're going
to have Dorothy Jackson come on the show again very soon.
They actually have a calculator that if you type in
(01:44:18):
what the address of the property is, they'll tell you,
based on the new purchase price, what your tax bill
should be, and then you can calculate your portability on
top of it and show the discount on there. So
that way you can in case you are trying to
set a budget for a mortgage or something like you guys,
you guys want to have no mortgage, but let's say
you're buying asse and you're going to have a mortgage, Well,
(01:44:39):
this will really help set your real true mortgage payment
with the correct correct s grows for the correct tax
that set that's in there so that you know, those
are like really big tips for seller buyers because sometimes
that makes the difference of whether you're going to buy
or not. That tax bill for some people sure can
make the difference like oh, yeah, I'm doing this now
(01:45:00):
because I'm not going to pay that super high tax
bill in the new home.
Speaker 3 (01:45:03):
Hundreds of dollars a month, Yeah, hundreds.
Speaker 5 (01:45:05):
Of dollars a month. Yes, really really important. Now, how
do you like the community you're in? You never lived
in really in pomp I know you've worked there a
little bit. You never lived in Palm Beach County? How
do you like it?
Speaker 4 (01:45:17):
I like it?
Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
Do you like county?
Speaker 4 (01:45:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (01:45:19):
I love it? Yeah, we we love it.
Speaker 13 (01:45:22):
I mean I worked right down the road here for
fourteen years, but I would just sail by Boyton Beach,
you know, on the on the turnpike never uh never,
never really stopping.
Speaker 10 (01:45:31):
So but we love it.
Speaker 13 (01:45:32):
We're learning about new places every day, and uh, you
know it's it's a great community.
Speaker 5 (01:45:37):
That's awesome. That's awesome. Well, thank you, guys, Greg and
Diana first for coming into the show, of course, for
trusting our team to do everything that we were able
to do for you, and I feel so blessed to
have met you. But I'm also so happy about how
smooth everything went for you guys, and I love it
when that happens like that.
Speaker 13 (01:45:57):
So yeah, no, thank you and the team for for
a fantastic job and shout out to Nancy. She was
like the best. You know, she was on top of
every single every time.
Speaker 3 (01:46:07):
We always use a Stripes reference when talking about She's
the Sergeant Hulka.
Speaker 4 (01:46:12):
She's the big toe.
Speaker 10 (01:46:13):
She very helpful help minimize our anxiety.
Speaker 5 (01:46:18):
If you know what I'm talking, Yeah, Nancy's Nancy's very
good on that. And the other thing is, this is funny.
Nancy has never seen Stripes. So when I call her
Sergeant Hulka, she has no idea what I'm talking about.
To have her watch it, and I asked her, she's
as I watched it, like whatever, I call you, Sargeant,
you're my big toe.
Speaker 4 (01:46:35):
I said.
Speaker 8 (01:46:35):
I remember sending her an email and it's eight o'clock,
nine o'clock, ten o'clock at night, and she responds.
Speaker 13 (01:46:41):
It doesn't matter. She's fantastic.
Speaker 5 (01:46:44):
So if you're thinking about selling a home and buying
a home, and you have no idea how to make
that happen, and you're not even sure it'll work for you,
please give us a call. We'll sit down and give
you a free consultation. We're gonna go over everything. Guys,
we didn't know the day we met for sure if
we were going to work together. We thought we would,
but there was no guaranteeing if the numbers didn't work.
(01:47:05):
We weren't going to work together because I was going
to tell you, hey, I'm not sure this is going
to work. So thank you so much. And if anybody
else is out there looking for results like this, please
give us a call. We'd love to talk to you.

Speaker 5 (01:47:21):
So, Johnny, I want to talk to you about what's
going to happen next week. We are going to be
talking about the down payment assistance program Hometown Heroes. I
had a long conversation with Mike this week because I
might be using that program, and I learned a lot.
You guys got to get going right away. I thought
that you would have to August September to get all
this stuff done. You need to be in contract in
(01:47:43):
like June in order to be guaranteed the money to
close in July or August.
Speaker 3 (01:47:48):
So if you're talking to Mike about this soon too.
Because my mom, her Sala, her property has gone three years. Yeah,
she's almost four years now, so she would be considered
a first time buyer, and if she takes.
Speaker 4 (01:47:58):
The lead on our property, that might be the you.
Speaker 5 (01:48:01):
Might get in twenty twenty five thirty thousand dollars in
the state. Yeah, so we're going to talk about all
of that next week, really really important stuff. If you're
thinking about buyer, we're going to tell you why it's
a good time to be a buyer. And don't listen
to all those talking heads out there. Greg and Diane.
Did you feel bad that you bought your home? It
felt like you got ripped off or was a bad
time to buy or anything?
