For most people, Owning a new home is still the American Dream. As everyone knows the last several years made it a nightmare.and for most impossible to achieve.
The Real Estate bubble which as far I am concerned was caused by greed, by banks and developers who built homes like there was no tomorrow.
Some people blamed it on the buyers. This is true if you where one of those who sat on lines even before the ground was broke to buy up a condo or house with the intention of flipping and make what you may have though a fortune.
But as we all know that did not happen for the majority. Most fell into foreclose and short sales. Real Estate bubble bursts.
I do believe most buyers where just full filling their American Dream, to own their own home.
That brings us to the Real Estate market today.
Inventory is a little low which causes home prices to rise. Keep in mind there are a lot of homes the banks are holding back on foreclosing so the market won't truly collapse. This is good. They where the partial cause of the problems we now have so they are now getting a little smarter.
This is a great time to buy a new home. Prices are low and mortgage rates are low. If you have the down payment and can afford a new home now is the time to buy. Let me caution you on one thing, when it comes to mortgages. To me you should only get a fixed rate mortgage. I know the banks and mortgage companies will show you the low payments you will have in an adjustable rate mortgage.
But in 5 or 7 years no one knows where that rate may be. If it goes up you may not be a financial position to pay your new higher mortgage.
I hope this information was helpful.

Professional Teacher Artist Realtor
Professional Teacher Artist RealtorI have mentioned before I consider myself and I am sure all Realtors would called them self's Professionals.
As a professional I go to work everyday ready and dressed for business. I prepare myself to meet new and old clients whether they come into the office. or out of the office for a meeting. I am prepared to close a sale on a new home, get a listing agreement, get an offer on a new home for one of my clients.I am ready as a professional real estate agent doing something I love to do help clients and friends with all there real estate needs. And sometimes just being there to talk with them. My door is always opened. And everyday I show up ready to go.
I also consider myself an Artist. Being a restaurant owner and Chef I was always using my imagination to create a new dish for my menu. A dish that would make your taste buds explode and you craving more.So think about this. Have you ever looked at yourself as an artist. Think about this. You first make contact with you clients who are looking for a new home . They tell you what they are looking for, bedrooms, bathrooms, price range, pool, ocean view, condo, single family home. You go to you canvas, to us its the flat screen monitor, you search the MLS for what your clients have told you they wanted in a new home. You the artist, you are picking out your paints, your colors, the homes show your clients. You go out with your clients in search for that masterpiece, the home of there dreams. As you go from one home to another picking out the best features of each home you see, its like you are putting the beautiful colors to your canvas. Once you have found this perfect home for them and you are sitting at the closing table, all you have to do is sign your masterpiece. You the Artist. Maybe crazy, but its fun.
Now the Teacher. You have to educate your clients about this crazy market we have in this country today. Unlike anything I and I am sure most Realtors have ever seen before, with all the homes on the market, the short sales, the bank owned properties. We are selling in a different world. You as a teacher have to help them in making the right desissions, When you are showing homes you need to explain what is happening in the market today. The good, the bad and the ugly. I have seen in the last few months and for this time of the year here in Florida we have had an increase in buyers looking for great deals. Unaware of some of the problems with especially short sales, the length of time it could take and not get the approval of the sale because the offer is to low. People have the misconception that every home owner whose house in on the market is desperate to sell. Its not that way in most cases.
If I have a client and I have had, I do my best to tell them the right and wrong way to buy a house. I have to be the Teacher. I just hope they listen.

Helping My Clients
For many years I was in the restaurant business. Started as a bartender then manager and I ended up owning my own restaurants and being the chef. Now I call myself a chef because I can create great tasting dishes. I take pride in my work. And there is nothing better when a customer finishes there dinner and tells his or her friends about the great meal they had and can't wait to come back.
For me the real estate business is the same. I take pride in helping my customers whether they are new customer or previous customers, my goal is to be able to answer all there questions or help them find the right new home. As a professsional real estate agent I always answer my phone. And if I am on the line with someone I get back to then asap. They should never have to wait for me to get back to them.
As everyone knows our business in a referal business. And I for one love referals. That means you did your job in helping your customers.
Whether the real estate market is great or slow we still take pride in what we do. Keeping positive and upbeat is the way we should all live our lives.
I wish everyone a very Happy 4th. of July. Let all of us celebrate our great country.
