We have received so many inquiries via our new Tallahassee Foreclosures Web Site about purchasing Tallahassee foreclosures that I am feeling like a recorded message. Many buyers want the perceived deals that “foreclosures” imply, so I figured I would lay out some advice that really fits our current times.
With so many of our homes upside-down [...]
Do you really need A REALTOR®? If you have a home to sell, it sure seems like a good idea to figure out how to save as much money as possible since home values are not where they once were. If you could sell your home without a REALTOR®, wouldn’t you be adding a whole [...]
CENTURY 21 topped all real estate companies again as it was recognized as the top training company in the real estate brokerage industry. For home buyers and home sellers, it means that the agents and staff that they work with at CENTURY 21 are better prepared to assist them during these difficult times in the [...]

It does not take more than a minute (if you do a search on Google™) to find a blog or article written by a REALTOR® which extols the virtues of buying a home. And there is a better than even chance that “Now is the Time To Buy” will be included in the first paragraph [...]
One of my agents relayed a story to me yesterday that I felt would make for a great post on the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog. He told me that he is helping a buyer buy a short sale in Tallahassee, and he shared with me the conversation he had with the listing agent.
The listing agent [...]
Yesterday, I received a great comment by a Destin, FL REALTOR® who pointed out that the shadow inventory of homes has many more components than just the defaulted mortgage pool.
