Miami Real Estate Market Update for February 2012 continues to be very active and full of drama and intrigue at every corner.  With the interest rates still at an all time low and the inventory at an all time low is causing somewhat of a feeding frenzy for the vultures and sharks out there.  I have a new web site devoted to helping people that need to do a short sale so please feel free to visit and please send anyone you know to it.  You can click on the underlined words just before this statement.

The one indicator that is really encouraging is that the number of pending sales in the Miami Area rose by 24.98 percent from the January numbers .  The number of sales in February that were also put under contract also saw an increase so it looks like we are on an upward moving trend of more closings and less inventory.  This is great for the banks and the owners doing a SHORT SALE  but not good for the buyers out there.   The truth of the matter is that The Miami Real Estate Market has many ups and downs but always manages to find enough people to bet on it when the market is low because investors and people that have been around know good value in the Miami Real Estate Market when they see it.

I have included a short video here about the Miami Real Estate Market Update so I can expand on it and give you more than I can here just with words.  Enjoy !!  If you would like more information on the statistics I mentioned I have also uploaded a report here that you can view as well.

Miami Real Estate Market Update For February 2012

MIami Real Estate Market Update for 2012_03_07_17_46_51

This listing was on the market a while back and is now officially back on the market for sale. When I put it up on the market the first time I had multiple offers with a few days so I encourage you or anyone you know that is looking in the Kendall area to call me right away to schedule an appointment. Please no Brokers at this time, only buyers.  As a long time short sale specialist I handle these types of transactions on a daily basis.  This listing is located in Kendall and very close to all the expected shopping conveniences and time saving connections to major expressways.  The property is in excellent condition and has ample space in the living areas to accommodate a large family.  The back yard is not super large but has been decked out with a covered terrace and makes for a very quiet and private retreat to relax after a hard day at the office.   The property is listed in the MLS and you can view that information by clicking on the MLS word.   I am also including a link to another site were it is posted for your convenience and variety.  Below you will find the youtube video I put together on it when I first put it on the market and if you would like to visit my YOUTUBE real estate channel you may do so also.   Thanks for watching the video and sending this information on to your friends or family.  I am currently acting as a short sale broker so if you know anyone that needs guidance and or help with a short sale by all means please give them my name and number.

Well folks they say great opportunities come once in a while and I am letting you know there is one here for the taking that if you are looking to buy near the Hollywood Beach Area  then this is the opportunity you have been waiting for.  The property is located just minutes from Hollywood Beach  and it’s famous Broadwalk.  I have included great visual example on video of the Hollywood Broadwalk  which will take you on a walkers view of the beachside path were you can stroll in the afternoons with your family on your way to your favorite sea side restaurant or cafe.  The area offers many benefits for the family loooking to place their children in great schools or if your thing is shopping that is plentyfull there as well.   If you would like to see avideo of the property from youtube.    If you would like to see more of the property on the short sale specialist on realtor.com  you are welcome to as well.   I have also included here a link to the actual Multiple Listing Service for Short Sales  and a recent ad I posted on Backpage.com to include some additional information on this great short sale.  Please feel free to call me on this property or any other property you see out there.

Well today I took a big step in my quest to expand my horizons in the Miami Short Sale market by joining with the Short Sale Specialist  Expert.  This network has been around for some time now and I had been looking into joining them for some time.  The purpose of me joining the Short Sale Specialist Expert was to not only capture more of the short sale business in Miami but also to continue expanding my knowledge and resource base so that I can perform better for my clients and get them done faster, more efficiently and with the least amount of hassle for my clients.

The short sale process can be a trying experience for any family specially after trying to do a loan modification and not having luck with that, by the time the clients reach me they are in a state of despair and utter discouragement.   So I see it as part of my mission and duty to pump some hope and energy into the situation by giving them as good and as smooth an experience with their short sale as possible.  With the vast network of experienced Realtors that the Short Sale Specialist Experts    has I will be able to consult any difficulties across the network and get immediate input from a very varied base of Realtors.  As it is said iron sharpens iron so it will be with this venture.  In the near future I will be adding a lot of new resources here on this site to hopefully provide much needed information about the short sales and how to make the best of the situation we have at hand.   There are still many homeowners out there struggling to make their mortgage payments and trying to do the right thing.  If you are one of those families by all means feel free to call me for a free no obligation call or meeting to discuss your options and to provide my point of view and expertise.

Here is a video of a recent short sale I showed to a client in Kendall, in zip code 33193.  The property had been modified and probably will not qualify for an FHA loan, fortunately the buyer I am working with is a cash buyer so this is not a concern for him.

I recently upgraded my realtor.com account to a Preffered Client status and it has made a world of difference in the amount of traffic that I am getting from listings my profile and realtor.com.  I have a few more bells and wistles, more notably the ability to add as many as 25 pictures and when I do, my listings will show up for the particular zip code on the top of the search.  Another cool feauture is access to web site traffic analitics which can tell my clients excatly how many visitors have looked at thir property and also makes it very easy for peolple to reach since all of my contact information shows up on each property as opposed to the previous option which did not.  As a short sale realtor in Miami I want to give all my short sale listings   The amount that I am getting on the site far surpasses any of the traffic I have been able to generate on other sites like Trulia and Zillow.

Below is a copy of the profile and above it I have added a quick link so you can jump to it from here.  I am in the process of listing 3-5 new short sales listings in the coming 2 weeks so I will be posting those properties not only here in my blog but also on my miami real estate  youtube profile and the other portals available for my listing.
