What happens if you have a buyer and the buyer.
Finds a house say you show the buyer six houses on,
The sixth, one they say? This is it this. IS
the house i really, LIKE the location i really like
how the. House is configured seems to be. The right
size what other questions should that person? Be asking you
(08:33):
are there more things they need to know the answers
to right at that, red hot minute or should they
just wait and ask you questions as. They come up
what's important to ask and find out right then is
they've identified the home that they.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Really.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Really Want sure so i'll talk about the big sort
of bullet points that we have to go through when
it is time to. Make an offer so again every
situation is different as far as is, it a mortgage
is a cash whose names, on the contract all that
kind of stuff which we. Can talk about but some
of the main things that we need to have answers
for because they go into the offer. Is number, one
(09:10):
of course we talk. About the price we, determine the,
price of course knowing your goal. In THE situation but
i also do like a deep dive of research about
that specific property and tell you THE price that, i
would recommend and you know the strategy of how we're
going to get you to ultimately the price that you
want to pay. For the house, aside from price we.
(09:30):
Talk about scrows we talk about both the initial, and
additional deposit what money is due during the. Time of
contract we then talk about the furnishings in the house
if or if you do. Not want any we talk
about the closing date as far as which day you
know you want the house to officially be hers and
(09:50):
start paying. For the home we also talk about the
inspection period and the timelines for the contract. And any
contingencies so those are some of THE big, things i know,
some of it especially if you're a first time home
buyer or first time selling. Your home listening it could sound,
a LITTLE overwhelming but i Promise you it's we will
make it as smooth as possible and everything will. Be
(10:13):
totally fine all common standard and honestly simple things that
we can discuss to make the offer you're receiving or
the offer you're, presenting to, somebody you know the offer
that you're. Most comfortable with so call me anytime for
any questions about making an offer, on a home or.
Text me anytime you don't, have to call you. Can
(10:34):

Speaker 3 (10:48):
To, ZERO three six.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Evan i want to talk about. One of our sponsors
one Of Our sponsors Is Harbor. Chase Of boyton Beach
Harbor chase of boytant beach is an adult living community
and if you yourself or you know someone that is
interested in the very best adult Living Community, here in
South Florida please Give Harbor chase of. Boyton beach a

call the food outlets. Are really something special the employees and.
Caregivers are very, professional and very kind and the place
itself is. Beautiful and relatively new the phone number there
is five six one seven seven zero. One three Five
(11:32):
Zero that's For Harbor. Chase of boyton beach it really
is a wonderful place for an assisted living facility and
place to be at that. Time in your life the
number again is five six one seven seven zero. One,
three five zero, so first of all thank you. Everyone
(11:54):
for being here, we so appreciate it and thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
So.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Much for, listening EVAN next question so i. Thought about
this too. Tell everybody that's listening do you have a
specific offering strategy that you recommend or is it different. Depending,
on the situation.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah so it is all custom and tailored to that,
client's approach and ultimately of. Course that client's, budget SO
you know we i always like to work. Backwards with
MY clients so, WHAT, i mean, is i you know,
sort of, start with you know what is the number
that IF, you go past x, you won't be happy,
you won't, be comfortable you know you won't be able
(12:35):
to go through with. The with the home we get
that number and then we. Work backwards from there but
the thing is the number that they give me can
either be higher.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Or lower than what the comps. Of the home suggests
so it's.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Really just the conversation you know that we have an
ongoing dialogue between me and the home buyer on you
know what they're comfortable with. And you, KNOW what for
instance i have a client who's a first time Home
Buyer Looking in Palm Beach, county AND martin, county, and
i said okay, for your price point, for your, non
(13:13):
negotiables you know you want a home that's no hoa
has to be x many of bedrooms has to be
under the.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Price.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
TAG of, blank right i, said we with that we
are not going to be able to, get an enormous
backyard a, brand, new renovated home right something most likely that.
Has a new roof if it does, have a new
roof it's probably going to need work on the interior
if it. For this price point if it is, renovated
(13:42):
on the inside the roof is probably older or the appliance.
Is NEEDED to, upgrade so i said. We have, two
options number one, it's just you know we have to
accept that in these locations this is. What is out,
there or number two we can increase the price point
so you know that's an. Ongoing conversation we're HAVING but
(14:04):
that's something i do with All my clients is i'm
just super, honest about you know what their, price range
will produce and then we go.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Out and see properties that's the number.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
ONE most important thing i had somebody, Yesterday say to,
Me oh my gosh I'M so happy that i finally
stopped just scrolling and reached out to you so we could,
see homes in person because there's nothing like seeing them in.
Person versus just photos, you have to see be in

of the story of how this home, CAME into, my
orbit i guess and the story of the selling situation
(15:51):
and why it is an excellent buy is this IS
a home that i sold and ACTUALLY the client and
i met, through a radio show so they heard, me
on the radio reached out and EVERYTHING went great and
i was able to sell the HOME for her and
i think just literally within A, Few, days in stuart

area called seawall's point which, is a very exclusive really
nice and tranquil area right Near. The water in stuart
it's a very nice community and has. A very good
Reputation And again That. Seawall's POINT in stuart so i sold.
The home for. Her it was wonderful the buyers ended
(16:36):
up being. Extremely friendly as well and that was, a
few years ago so. Few years have passed the buyers
of that home remembered me and reached out to me to.
Now sell the home they did a ton of. Upgrades
on the home they the home looks, almost different but
similar but in. A way very different if you, just
saw home ones you wouldn't realize it. WAS the, same
(16:57):
one i mean the home has been painted and. Upgraded
to the nines so now the home is listed with
myself for two point Four million Dollars In. Stewart in
seawall's point. It's a great area and let me tell
you a little. Bit about the home it's very unique
and this home, is first of all it's on. A
half acre lot aside from, that is, five bedrooms five

So what should a person ask say that they're going to?
Offer something on this home they go Look, at this
home and stewart let's just. Use that for an example they,
go and look at it they. Decide to make an
offer what question should they ask you after their offer
after you. Actually, get their offer accepted.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So, after, your offer is? Accepted yeah what happens, next
it's a big question and usually the three main steps
that happen after your offer, is accepted, before the closing of,
course is your home inspection, if your home is appraised
and if THE, home is IN an hoa getting the
(18:37):
hoa approval.
Speaker 3 (18:38):

Evans Excellent. Buys Radio show independence title independence title is
The Best. TITLE company in south florida i recommend them to.
Every single. Client of mine they're awesome and what does
a title company do for those, Of, you who aren't
(19:42):
familiar well they are who you wire the money to
during a home closing and, who wires you the proceeds so.
That in itself is. Important but they hold escrows they
work with the city in the hoa to discover if
there are, any permits, On the property any leans they.
Run surveys on the home they of course issue, the
title insurance as well and do so many things to
(20:04):
actually make it possible to. Go from paper to keys
so they help you transition your transition from an offer
being accepted on paper into actually. Getting keys in your, hand,
so for, any title insurance wire fraud, or home ownership
Estate Questions. Reach out to independence title they're. A great
(20:25):
home ownership resource at nine to, five four three three five. Nine,
to three zero Five Again. Reach out to independence title
their number is nine to five four three three. Five
nine three zero five what?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Happens during the final walkthrough so we've, gotten, to this
point already right there's questions obviously, after the offer is
accepted and then when, you do a final walkthrough? What
do you expect there what should? Happen, at the final walkthrough.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Sure so the final walkthrough, is somewhat of a formality and,
the main purpose in it to make it as a
short and, simple and simplistic as possible is that you
want to make sure that the home is an acceptable
condition for you to actually go through and sign. And
wire money for it so you want to make sure
that the home is at the same condition that you
(21:15):
left the home with last time you were. There, for the,
home inspection so for instance, maybe during the home inspection
an issue came up with the ac a issue, came
up with the stove an issue came.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Up with a.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Light bulb whatever it was if the seller agreed to
fix those, items at the final walkthrough would be a,
great time to you know Be there in person check
we get, proof of those, things beforehand but you know
to be there in person to make sure there's.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No holes in, the wall there's.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
No leak, knock on wood you know again the, home
is being you know presented in the condition that you
expected to be in realistically to obviously. Go ahead and
go purchase so are there some issues once in, A while,
At Final walkthroughs absolutely yes but i've never had a
situation where even when a big issue.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Has come, up at a.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Final walkthrough it's prevented closing has? Closing been delayed sometimes,
yes have things been fixed has? Money, been put in
escrow yes but we are always able, To make it,
work overall, most final, walkthroughs of course go seamlessly and
to make the home buying or home selling process as
easy and. SMOOTH and seamless as possible i promise you'll
(22:26):

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Six no conversely. You're not gonna make things harder you're
actually going to make. Them easier for the entire process
and this is where we go back to the question,
from the beginning of the show which? IS how do
you get references i think that's an important question for
people to, ask people that you you know clients, that

how was the entire process? Not just how was the
overall tell me, about each individual you know different like
you know spot that we go through to the entire.
Process to see how it was now, the, Closing is

Finds a house say you show the buyer six houses on,
The sixth, one they say? This is it this. IS
the house i really, LIKE the location i really like
how the. House is configured seems to be. The right
size what other questions should that person? Be asking you
(08:33):
are there more things they need to know the answers
to right at that, red hot minute or should they
just wait and ask you questions as. They come up
what's important to ask and find out right then is
they've identified the home that they.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Really.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Really Want sure so i'll talk about the big sort
of bullet points that we have to go through when
it is time to. Make an offer so again every
situation is different as far as is, it a mortgage
is a cash whose names, on the contract all that
kind of stuff which we. Can talk about but some
of the main things that we need to have answers
for because they go into the offer. Is number, one
(09:10):
of course we talk. About the price we, determine the,
price of course knowing your goal. In THE situation but
i also do like a deep dive of research about
that specific property and tell you THE price that, i
would recommend and you know the strategy of how we're
going to get you to ultimately the price that you
want to pay. For the house, aside from price we.
(09:30):
Talk about scrows we talk about both the initial, and
additional deposit what money is due during the. Time of
contract we then talk about the furnishings in the house
if or if you do. Not want any we talk
about the closing date as far as which day you
know you want the house to officially be hers and
(09:50):
start paying. For the home we also talk about the
inspection period and the timelines for the contract. And any
contingencies so those are some of THE big, things i know,
some of it especially if you're a first time home
buyer or first time selling. Your home listening it could sound,
a LITTLE overwhelming but i Promise you it's we will
make it as smooth as possible and everything will. Be
(10:13):
totally fine all common standard and honestly simple things that
we can discuss to make the offer you're receiving or
the offer you're, presenting to, somebody you know the offer
that you're. Most comfortable with so call me anytime for
any questions about making an offer, on a home or.

Evan i want to talk about. One of our sponsors
one Of Our sponsors Is Harbor. Chase Of boyton Beach

interested in the very best adult Living Community, here in
South Florida please Give Harbor chase of. Boyton beach a

three five zero, so first of all thank you. Everyone
(11:54):
for being here, we so appreciate it and thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
So.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Much for, listening EVAN next question so i. Thought about
this too. Tell everybody that's listening do you have a
specific offering strategy that you recommend or is it different. Depending,
on the situation.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah so it is all custom and tailored to that,
client's approach and ultimately of. Course that client's, budget SO
you know we i always like to work. Backwards with
MY clients so, WHAT, i mean, is i you know,
sort of, start with you know what is the number
that IF, you go past x, you won't be happy,
you won't, be comfortable you know you won't be able
(12:35):
to go through with. The with the home we get
that number and then we. Work backwards from there but
the thing is the number that they give me can
either be higher.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Or lower than what the comps. Of the home suggests
so it's.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Really just the conversation you know that we have an
ongoing dialogue between me and the home buyer on you
know what they're comfortable with. And you, KNOW what for
instance i have a client who's a first time Home
Buyer Looking in Palm Beach, county AND martin, county, and
i said okay, for your price point, for your, non
(13:13):
negotiables you know you want a home that's no hoa
has to be x many of bedrooms has to be
under the.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Price.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
TAG of, blank right i, said we with that we
are not going to be able to, get an enormous
backyard a, brand, new renovated home right something most likely that.
Has a new roof if it does, have a new
roof it's probably going to need work on the interior
if it. For this price point if it is, renovated
(13:42):
on the inside the roof is probably older or the appliance.
Is NEEDED to, upgrade so i said. We have, two
options number one, it's just you know we have to
accept that in these locations this is. What is out,
there or number two we can increase the price point
so you know that's an. Ongoing conversation we're HAVING but
(14:04):
that's something i do with All my clients is i'm
just super, honest about you know what their, price range
will produce and then we go.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Out and see properties that's the number.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
ONE most important thing i had somebody, Yesterday say to,
Me oh my gosh I'M so happy that i finally
stopped just scrolling and reached out to you so we could,
see homes in person because there's nothing like seeing them in.
Person versus just photos, you have to see be in

idea so text me any time if you're curious about
having a conversation about looking for a home at five

of the story of how this home, CAME into, my
orbit i guess and the story of the selling situation

and why it is an excellent buy is this IS
a home that i sold and ACTUALLY the client and
i met, through a radio show so they heard, me
on the radio reached out and EVERYTHING went great and

Reputation And again That. Seawall's POINT in stuart so i sold.
The home for. Her it was wonderful the buyers ended
(16:36):
up being. Extremely friendly as well and that was, a
few years ago so. Few years have passed the buyers
of that home remembered me and reached out to me to.
Now sell the home they did a ton of. Upgrades
on the home they the home looks, almost different but
similar but in. A way very different if you, just
saw home ones you wouldn't realize it. WAS the, same
(16:57):
one i mean the home has been painted and. Upgraded
to the nines so now the home is listed with
myself for two point Four million Dollars In. Stewart in
seawall's point. It's a great area and let me tell
you a little. Bit about the home it's very unique

So what should a person ask say that they're going to?
Offer something on this home they go Look, at this
home and stewart let's just. Use that for an example they,
go and look at it they. Decide to make an
offer what question should they ask you after their offer
after you. Actually, get their offer accepted.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So, after, your offer is? Accepted yeah what happens, next
it's a big question and usually the three main steps
that happen after your offer, is accepted, before the closing of,
course is your home inspection, if your home is appraised
and if THE, home is IN an hoa getting the
(18:37):
hoa approval.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Of you as a.

Evans Excellent. Buys Radio show independence title independence title is
The Best. TITLE company in south florida i recommend them to.
Every single. Client of mine they're awesome and what does
a title company do for those, Of, you who aren't
(19:42):
familiar well they are who you wire the money to
during a home closing and, who wires you the proceeds so.
That in itself is. Important but they hold escrows they
work with the city in the hoa to discover if
there are, any permits, On the property any leans they.
Run surveys on the home they of course issue, the
title insurance as well and do so many things to
(20:04):
actually make it possible to. Go from paper to keys
so they help you transition your transition from an offer
being accepted on paper into actually. Getting keys in your, hand,
so for, any title insurance wire fraud, or home ownership
Estate Questions. Reach out to independence title they're. A great
(20:25):
home ownership resource at nine to, five four three three five. Nine,
to three zero Five Again. Reach out to independence title
their number is nine to five four three three. Five
nine three zero five what?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Happens during the final walkthrough so we've, gotten, to this
point already right there's questions obviously, after the offer is
accepted and then when, you do a final walkthrough? What
do you expect there what should? Happen, at the final walkthrough.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Sure so the final walkthrough, is somewhat of a formality and,
the main purpose in it to make it as a
short and, simple and simplistic as possible is that you
want to make sure that the home is an acceptable
condition for you to actually go through and sign. And
wire money for it so you want to make sure
that the home is at the same condition that you
(21:15):
left the home with last time you were. There, for the,
home inspection so for instance, maybe during the home inspection
an issue came up with the ac a issue, came
up with the stove an issue came.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Up with a.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Light bulb whatever it was if the seller agreed to
fix those, items at the final walkthrough would be a,
great time to you know Be there in person check
we get, proof of those, things beforehand but you know
to be there in person to make sure there's.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No holes in, the wall there's.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
No leak, knock on wood you know again the, home
is being you know presented in the condition that you
expected to be in realistically to obviously. Go ahead and
go purchase so are there some issues once in, A while,
At Final walkthroughs absolutely yes but i've never had a
situation where even when a big issue.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Has come, up at a.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Final walkthrough it's prevented closing has? Closing been delayed sometimes,
yes have things been fixed has? Money, been put in
escrow yes but we are always able, To make it,
