Reasons to use a Realtor in Kissimmee Florida
1. Your REALTOR® can help you determine your buying power — that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. If you give a REALTOR ® some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, he or she can refer you to lenders best qualified to help you.
Most lenders — banks and mortgage companies — offer limited choices.
2. Your REALTOR ® has many resources to assist you in your home search. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market, and it will take some investigation by your agent to find all available properties. More Information, Tel. 321-303-4544 E.Mail serrano.salomon29@gmail.com
3. Your REALTOR ® can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property. Agents who are REALTORS® have access to a variety of informational resources.
REALTORS® can provide local community information on utilities, zoning. schools, etc. There are two things you’ll want to know. First, will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?
4. Your REALTOR can help you negotiate. There are myriad negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or equipment.
The purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.
5. Your REALTO ® provides due diligence during the evaluation of the property. Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name a few.
Your REALTOR® can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports. You will also want to see a preliminary report on the title of the property.
Title indicates ownership of property and can be mired in confusing status of past owners or rights of access. The title to most properties will have some limitations; for example, easements (access rights) for utilities. Your REALTOR®, title company or attorney can help you resolve issues that might cause problems at a later date.
6. Your REALTOR ® can help you in understanding different financing options and in identifying qualified lenders.
7. Your REALTOR ® can guide you through the closing process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.
8. When selling your home, your REALTOR ® can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.
9. Your REALTOR ® markets your property to other real estate agents and the public. Often, your REALTOR® can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property.
Your REALTOR® markets your property to other real estate agents and the public. In many markets across the country, over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer.
Your REALTOR® acts as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple Listing Service or other cooperative marketing networks, open houses for agents, etc.
The REALTOR® Code of Ethics requires REALTORS® to utilize these cooperative relationships when they benefit their clients.
10. Your REALTOR® will know when, where and how to advertise your property. There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts.
When a property is marketed with the help of your REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.
11. Your REALTOR ® can help you objectively evaluate every buyer’s proposal without compromising your marketing position.
This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and financing — a lot of possible pitfalls. Your REALTOR® can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.
12. Your REALTOR ® can help close the sale of your home. Between the initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions may arise. For example, unexpected repairs are required to obtain financing or a cloud in the title is discovered.
The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your REALTOR® is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing (or settlement). More information in Spanish
Types of Properties a Realtor in Kissimmee Florida can Sell
- Single Family Homes
- Apartments
- Townhomes
- Commercial Properties
- Industrial properties
- Land all types
Buyers have strong views on color in a home-not just what hue, but where and how it’s used. So if you’re a first time home seller, starting the home selling process again soon, or just looking to stay on top of how to get your house ready to sell when the time comes, you should steer clear of some shades and favor others.
When decorating a home it’s easy to appeal to your own personal taste: A kitchen painted your favorite shade of red, or a brightly colored statement chair in your living room, can instantly make a new house feel like home.
But, if you’re ever planning to sell your home, you should know how your color choices now will affect a buyer’s view of your home later.

5 Things to Know About Selling a Home Amid the Pandemic
The coronavirus has upended a lot of the norms of home selling. Everything will likely take much longer than usual. Here’s what to expect.
3 Ways for Real Estate Agents to Showcase a Home Virtually
In the COVID-19 era, many buyers don’t want to tour homes in person—or they might not be able to. Virtual tours are an essential tool, and here’s what sellers should know.
For home sellers in the era of the novel coronavirus, showing off your home to potential buyers may seem like an impossible task. As people practice social distancing to help stop the spread of COVID-19, most open houses are on hold, and in-person home showings are limited across the country.
But there are still ways to reach potential buyers and show your home in the best light—through virtual tours. Here’s how home sellers can give buyers an in-depth look at their property without actually opening their doors and risking the buyers’ health (or their own).
4 Cheap Curb Appeal Tricks For The Best Return on Investment When Selling Your Home
Sprucing up your home’s exterior and grounds can get buyers and even passersby excited about your house before they even enter the door, priming them to offer more money.
You don’t have to go all-out on landscaping and painting, either. Try these easy home staging tips. Many savvy home sellers look for cheap curb appeal ideas.
They know curb appeal is important to make a great first impression on potential home buyers as they pull up and park at, well, your curb. But if the prospect of painting your whole house or landscaping your yard seems too pricey, never fear:
There are plenty of ways to create high-impact curb appeal on the cheap. Check out these home selling tips that require little investment time but pay off big-time when selling your home.
These Are the Features Buyers Want if You're Selling Your Home in the COVID-19 Era
There are still plenty of buyers eager to find a new home, but certain features have become more important than ever amid the pandemic. Find out what you need to play up—or upgrade.
If you imagined 2020 was the year you would finally list your house for sale, you may have hit the brakes on those plans when the coronavirus pandemic arrived.
But as many people continue working and logging in to school from home, the real estate market is again heating up with buyers eager to upgrade to a new home. So stop putting it off: Now is the time to step on the gas in preparing your home to sell. We talked with experts to learn which home improvements will hit the right note with buyers during the pandemic (and beyond).
0:16 – 1. Upgrade your outdoor space
Most of us are suffering from an acute case of cabin fever these days. It’s little wonder that outdoor space has become more important than ever to prospective buyers. That doesn’t mean you need to splurge on a new in-ground pool; even a minor landscaping refresh can make a big difference and increase curb appeal.
0:32 – 2. Create a functional home office or classroom
Many workers aren’t heading back to the office until 2021 or even later, which means home office space is at a premium, along with space for kids to log in to their virtual classrooms.
It definitely creates challenges when we all need to be on calls and need space to work.
0:48 – 3. Add separation of space
Open floor plans are so 2019. If your space isn’t well-segmented, you may want to create separate spaces by adding barn doors or pocket doors—or even room dividers for a quick and easy solution.
Having distinct rooms helps to minimize volume from other people’s activities, and can also create a different feeling in each part of the house.
1:08 – Give your in-law suite a makeover
If you have a guest house, this can be an attractive feature for buyers right now—especially those with multigenerational households, or people looking for a potential source of rental income.
1:22 – 6. Spruce up the laundry room
Concerns about cleanliness and hygiene have been at an all-time high during the pandemic. People are doing laundry more often after running errands, and many of us have become more diligent about washing our bed linens.
Plus, who couldn’t use more room for ironing, folding, and hang-drying clothes?

Point, Shoot, Sell? To Show Off Your Home, Avoid These Listing Photo Mistakes
Great photos can go a long way towards selling your house. Want to shoot your own? Go ahead—but make sure you don’t make these amateur mistakes.
We’re fond of the analogy that shopping for real estate is a lot like online dating. The similarities are seemingly endless—you should never be too eager, and you have to remember that looks can be deceiving.
That’s never more true than when it comes to presenting your home in real estate listing photos. You can have the most sought-after home on the block, but if you don’t take the right pictures, your house might attract more squatters than buyers.
