One important trait that a good agent needs is a spine. I cant stand when my agents say the other agent or a customer is putting pressure on them.I say do not let anybody put pressure on you, you out pressure on them.Do not let anybody make demands on you, you make demands on them.You have to take control of the situation.You have to be able to say NO! We had an offer that was gobbly gook. The Buyer's name was entered where the Seller's name should be. The Seller's name was entered where the Buyer's name should be.There where cross outs EVERYWHERE. I could not tell what the price being offered was.And the agent refused to clean it up and wanted a response, on Sunday at 9:00 at night!!!I told my agent to tell the Buyer's agent that the offer was rejected and to come back with a clean offer.Want to know more?

When making a price drop on your listing, there is much more than just changing the price in the MLS. In this episode I talk about taking a strategic approach to get the most bang for your buck (or your Seller's buck) when lowering the price. A listing agent should approach this as if it is a new listing. And I discuss further in the show.From reaching out to agents and buyers from previous showing, freshening up the listing with new descriptions and photos, and much more. Separating yourself from an average agent to a great agent is in the details and follow up.Want to know more?

Recently at the walk through before a closing for one of Jill Glanzer's Buyers, we discovered that the Seller failed to deliver the property in the condition that was agreed to in the contract and inspection addendum. The contract was supposed to include all television sets, and according the the inspection report the Seller was supposed to replace all of the light bulbs that where out.  Usually not a big deal, but when the ceiling is 20 feet tall, changing a lightbulb is not as simple as changing a lightbulb. Join us as we discuss the walk through before closing,  What is the walk through before closing, why do Buyers have one and what to do if there is a problem.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Real Estate Finder Podcast.  Today, we have an absolutely incredible guest—someone who has made a name for himself not just in luxury real estate but as a true visionary, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. If you've ever dreamed of Making It Big in this business, our guest today is living proof that with boldness, creativity, and a fearless mindset, the sky is truly the limit.   Frank McKinney is not your typical real estate developer—he's a real estate artist, a bestselling author, a keynote speaker, and philanthropist.  Over the years, he has built some of the most spectacular, one-of-a-kind oceanfront mansions that redefine luxury living, with price tags reaching upwards of $50 million. But his journey is far from conventional. He started with nothing—literally flipping a $50,000 house in his early days—and went on to create a niche that no one else dared to enter.   What sets Frank apart isn't just his ability to build multi-million-dollar homes—it's his philosophy on life, success, and making a difference. Beyond the glitz and glamour of high-end real estate, he is deeply committed to giving back. Through his foundation, the Caring House Project, he has helped build self-sustaining villages for the homeless in Haiti, providing housing and hope to thousands of people.   Frank is also a NINE-time international best-selling author, an endurance athlete who has conquered ultramarathons across the globe, and a sought-after speaker known for inspiring entrepreneurs to push past their limits.   Today, we're going to dive into his extraordinary career, his unique approach to real estate, and the lessons he's learned along the way. We discuss the current state of the real estate market and the permanent price increase we have had these last few years.   Learn about the new trend he describes as “private resorts for a family of one” that we are seeing for 50 MILLION dollars in Suburban Delray, and 250 million on the beach!!!  And where Frank is tackling his next frontier (I will give you a hint, it is not on the ocean). Whether you're in real estate, entrepreneurship, or just looking for inspiration to take bold risks in life, this is an episode you won't want to miss.   And if you can not get enough, we continue on my other podcast, The Matthew Mania Podcast.  Check out Episode 113 to hear more about us.

While not required by law, a Seller's Disclosure is a good way for a Seller (and a Seller's agent) to cover their ass.    Buyer's agents should always ask for one in any offer they draft on behalf of their Buyers.    Listing agents should ask their Sellers to fill one out after they sign the listing agreement, while they are waiting for photos and preparing the listing for the MLS.    It does not matter if the seller ever lived in the property.    Want to know more?  Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder Podcast! www.RealEstateFinder.com    Check out our other Podcasts: RealEstateFinder.com/podcasts Shop podcast T-shirts:   prowrestlingtees.com/matthewmania Check out some of the best vendors and service providers in Florida: RealEstateFinder.com/PreferredVendors Subscribe to our newsletter or see past issues at: RealEstateFinder.com/Newsletter Brought to you by:    Matthew H.

The biggest complaint that I hear about real estate agents from their customers is that the real estate agent has not been in touch with the customer for an extended period of time.    It is very important to follow up with your sellers, buyers and leads.  Do not let too much time pass without contacting them.     If you show one of your listings, understand that the seller got the house ready, and vacated to accommodate you.  You MUST let the seller know if you are finished and if there is any feedback. You must follow up with the showing agent and see if they want another look.     If you have a buyer, stay in touch. Offer to show houses. Check in.  Because if you don't, someone else will.    Want to know more?  Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder Podcast! www.RealEstateFinder.com    Check out our other Podcasts: RealEstateFinder.com/podcasts Shop podcast T-shirts:   prowrestlingtees.com/matthewmania Check out some of the best vendors and service providers in Florida: RealEstateFinder.com/PreferredVendors Subscribe to our newsletter or see past issues at: RealEstateFinder.com/Newsletter Brought to you by:    Matthew H.

According to the new rules that went into effect August 17, 2024 you may not display any form of compensation in the Multiple Listing Service. This includes a Bonus.     You may however advertise it ANYWHERE ELSE. Sky writing. A billboard. A tattoo that says Bonus!   It's an easy rule. Just ask yourself: is this the MLS? If it's Facebook, or a television ad, the answer is clearly No.    Similarly, according to the new rules a real estate agent may not show a house to a customer without a written agreement that specifies how much the real estate agent will be paid.  Can a listing agent show a potential buyer his or her listing?  Sure.  Because that Buyer is not a customer.  If that Buyer becomes a customer, they need a written agreement.  It's an easy rule. Just ask yourself: Am I representing this person as their real estate agent?     Join Preston Smith and Matthew Maschler as we explore these new rules on todays episode of the Real Estate Finder Podcast.     Want to know more?  Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder Podcast! www.RealEstateFinder.com    Check out our other Podcasts: RealEstateFinder.com/podcasts Shop podcast T-shirts:   prowrestlingtees.com/matthewmania Check out some of the best vendors and service providers in Florida: RealEstateFinder.com/PreferredVendors Subscribe to our newsletter or see past issues at: RealEstateFinder.com/Newsletter Brought to you by:    Matthew H.

When a Buyer and Seller enter into the Florida As-Is Contract many times they have a different view of that As-Is means.  Buyer's often believe they can ask for credits and/or repairs during the inspection period.  Seller's often believe they are selling the house As-Is and they do not have to make any repairs.   Often when a Seller negotiates they will agree to a price but want to let the Buyer know they will not negotiate anything during the inspection period.  Sometimes this is a declaration from the Seller, and it is not an agreed upon term by the Buyer.   The truth is the Buyer's only remedy is to cancel the contract during the inspection period if they are not satisfied.  Buyer's will use the threat of cancelling to get a credit or repair or some other term they desire.   The fault in any advance agreement to “Not Negotiate  any repairs, is that often times the inspection reveals something the Buyer did not know when they went to contract.  If the Buyer would never have agreed to the price when they went to contract, it is unreasonable to expect the Buyer to simply ignore this issue.  A reasonable Seller would have to consider this new information.   How an agent handles these situations is what separates a good agent from a bad agent and a great agent.    Hire a great agent at Signature Real Estate Finder   Want to know more?  Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder Podcast!

This has been on my mind for a while now. When you are marketing a property there are so many things you want to say, so many features you want to point out. The problem is, How do you start?' In the initial ads, you are trying to drive traffic to the house, you can't point out all the individual features when you are baiting the hook and trying to get someone to see the house. Specific amenities do not always have to be pointed out in the first advertisements, to someone who may or not even interested in the house. Once they are at the house, then you can focus on specific features and upgrades. Setting the stage, trying to get people interested enough to see the house AND THEN show off the house and its features AND THEN why the house is better than other competing houses.

Welcome to The Real Estate Finder Podcast by Matthew H. Maschler, Real Estate Broker.  Today in the Studio I am joined by Jill Glanzer and Preston Smith, of Signature Real Estate Finder.    Traditionally the Seller of a home pays the commission for both the real estate agent who lists the house and the agent who helped the buyer. Decoupling means that instead of the Seller paying both agents, the Seller only pays the Listing Agent.  Buyers have to negotiate and pay their own agent's fee.   Take for example a $500,000 home:   Scenario 1) the Listing Agent negotiates a traditional commission (say 6%) and from that amount pays the Buyer's Agent (also called the Selling Agent or the Showing Agent).  After the 6% commission is paid, The Seller nets $470,000.   Scenario 2)  If you decouple the commission and the Listing Agent only negotiates the listing fee, say 3%, the Buyer will ask in the offer that the Seller gives a 3% credit to the Buyer to pay the Buyer's agent.  The Seller still nets $470,000.   Scenario 3) If the Seller refuses to pay the Buyer's agent, the Buyer simply will offer 3% less for the home, and the Seller still nets $470,000.   In Addition, do you remember Episode 111 of this Podcast "Flying Home and Flying to Work?”  Well we have an update on that property and it is BACK and available for sale at a GREAT price.   Lastly, I know I said Preston was in the studio today?  Well he is producing the show and did not join the conversation  but his contribution needs to be mentioned, thanks Preston!     Want to know more?  Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder Podcast!

Welcome to The Real Estate Finder Podcast by Matthew H. Maschler, Real Estate Broker.  Today in the Studio I am joined by Jill Glanzer and Preston Smith, of Signature Real Estate Finder.  We are discussing Jill's new listing, a 2 Bedroom with a Den.  Should we list it as a two or three bedroom?  We want to know what you think!   We also discuss the way Real Estate Commissions flow.  From the Seller to the Listing Agent's brokerage firm.  Ad then from the Listing Agent's brokerage firm to the Buyer's (also called Selling Agent) Agent's brokerage firm.   Many times the Closing Agent will split it on the closing statement for every once's convenience so it only LOOKS like the Seller has been paying the Buyer's Agent (Selling Agent), but in reality that has NEVER been the case.   Until now, when we are starting to see Seller's paying the Buyer's / Selling Agent directly under the new NAR Guidelines of Black Saturday (August 17th, 2024)   We also talk some about supply and demand, join us, it is fun!!!   Want to know more?  Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder Podcast!

On today's Real Estate Finder Podcast, Matthew reveals that since the last time Staci was in the studio, she performed stand up comedy at the Sadman Comedy Cafe right here in Royal Palm Plaza in Boca Raton, FL.    According to Staci, it was “a one and done life bucket list item,” but that remains to be seen. One great idea is to have an open mike real estate ”industry” night where real estate agents could say their pet peeves, worst things to ever happen and dish the hilarious dirt on what goes on behind the front doors in the professional world of real estate.    You probably think it never happens, but believe it or not selling the same property more than once or twice actually does happen. Loyal customers are usually the reason. Staci's on her 4th transaction on the same property and it's a corporate relocation, which we will talk more about later in the deal.    Agents, have you ever worked with a corporate relocation company? Was it worth it?  Want to know more?  Send us an email or ask to join us on The Real Estate Finder Podcast!

This week Staci Garcia and Matthew Maschler are thrilled to host Tim Snow and Jay Brandt of The George Snow Scholarship Fund to the Real Estate Finder Podcast.   Tim tells us about growing up in Boca Raton, with his father George who was a real estate developer and teacher.  We discuss Boca Raton real estate and reveal that Tim used to live in the very neighborhood Staci now lives in, and that I have a closing this week in.   We talk about the great work done by the The George Snow Scholarship Fund, and how it has awarded 375 scholarships to its scholars this year.  What types of students receive these scholarships, and other benefits aside from tuition payments come from being a Snow Scholar.  And what the process for applications looks like. The George Snow Scholarship Fund is dedicated to helping deserving students in Palm Beach County achieve their career goals through their pursuit of higher education. By providing financial assistance and a host of supplementary support services, they ensure that hundreds of scholarship recipients have the resources they need to thrive academically.   For more details about the scholarship visit Scholarship.org   Tim Snow has resided in Boca Raton since 1958 when his family relocated to Boca Raton from Western Pennsylvania. He attended and graduated from Boca Raton High School in 1974 followed by his graduation from Marion Military Institute in Alabama. Under Tim's leadership, the George Snow Scholarship Fund has been recognized as one of the most respected non-profit organizations in South Florida. Tim's vision for the Fund included not only providing scholarships but also the development of scholar support programs and services created to ensure the success of the scholars including pre-college physicals, laptops for each scholar and a high school to college transition program. Jay joined the George Snow Scholarship Fund as the Vice President of Development in January of 2023, after a successful showing at Boca's Ballroom Battle. Previously, Jay was the Executive Director at St. Jude Catholic Church & School in Boca Raton. He oversaw all development, marketing and personnel for the church, as well as development for the school. Prior to St. Jude, Jay worked at Lynn University as the Director of Major Gifts for 15 years. Jay moved to Florida from Michigan in 1992 and attended St. John Paul II Academy. He then followed his dream of playing college baseball and attended Lynn University, where he received his Bachelors and Masters in Business Administration. We enjoyed having Tim and Jay on the Real Estate Finder Podcast and if you want to hear more, please look for them on an episode of the Matthew Mania Podcast.

It is June and that means Father's Day, Graduations and Juneteenth Celebrations. And you can not close on a house on June 19th! If I did not say it clearly enough, make sure you do not write a contract that calls for a closing on that day. And in 2027 when it falls on a Saturday, do not schedule a closing for the Friday before, when it will be observed on June 18th! And how about those Florida Panthers? Up 3-1 in the Stanley Cup Finals when we recorded this. Go Cats! Back to real estate please, we discuss updating the MLS once an offer is fully executed and becomes a binding contract. There is nothing worse than trying to show a house that shows Active in the MLS, only to be told it is under contract. What about bringing a Buyer for a back up when you know it is under contract? Find out! Speaking of the MLS, in 2 months time, the MLS will no longer be able to display the incentive offered to a Buyer's agent from the Listing agent for bringing the Buyer. Want to know more?

Recently I have decided that it was important to grow the audience of this podcast and thanks to PodPopuli Podcast Studio, we met Kelli Brink, Director of Podcast Growth Strategy. It was nice to meet her in person, live on the Real Estate Finder Podcast. We talk about social media, and how she came to be the Producer of this the Real Estate Finder Podcast. And of course we talk about Real Estate.  Remember that home we staged that I believe received a premium in the price because we staged it with Big Style Staging (what Episode was that)?  Well, the Buyer walked AFTER the staged furniture was removed.  UGH, listed it again and found a new Buyer, without the premium.  Still, it was a good flip.  Who is next?

Buying a new house when you need to sell your current one can be difficult.  Do you sell yours first and show while you are living there?  If you wait too long, panic can set in trying to find the new home.   But can you afford the deposit and to close on the new home, if your current home has not sold?  A home sale contingency clause can be included in your offer to purchase that new home. With a home sale contingency, the transaction is contingent on the sale of the buyer's home. If the house sells by the specified date, the contract moves forward. But if it doesn't, the contract can be terminated.  Sounds great right?  But will the Seller accept such a provision?  In a Seller's market, probably not.     Why would a Seller give a Buyer the time and the opportunity to cancel the contract if the house they are selling to buy this house falls through?   In this episode, Matthew discusses under what circumstances he, as a Seller, would take such an offer.  Because in the real world, this is a real issue that real people have to deal with.     Then we discuss the sticky situation Staci found herself in which may result in a new listing.     We have a full studio with Preston Smith, Jill Glanzer and Staci Garcia in the studio with Matthew Maschler, Real Estate Finder.      Have an idea for a podcast?

No, the sky is not falling.  On March 15, 2024 the National Association of Realtors (“NAR") settled a $5 Billion Buyer Broker Commission lawsuits brought by class action attorneys for $418 Million Dollars.   In this Episode we break it down. First we discuss how commissions work currently and who pays the commission.   Then we discuss the new rules.  First that Buyer's will negotiate commissions directly with their agents.  Agents can not claim there is no cost to Buyers, unless they truly will not charge them.  Seller's can still pay the Buyer's Agent.  Buyer's Agents will be required to sign agreements with Buyers setting forth what they will charge.  It will need to be an amount can not be open ended (like whatever the seller offers).  And the Multiple Listing Service can no longer display an offer of compensation to the Buyer's Agent.   We talk about how these rules will work in the future, both in the short and long term.   And clarify that this lawsuit and settlement does not change anything about renters, the lawsuit had nothing to do with renters, but some or most of these practices will be put in place for tenants regardless.   Why did the NAR agree to this Settlement?  Did they “sell us out” or did they have a VERY good reason?  Tune in and find out!!!!         Have an idea for a podcast?

"Make sure you pay your taxes; otherwise you can get in a lot of trouble.” I did not write that title.  It is a quote from President Richard Nixon.  The other quote I was thinking of using for a title was by Albert Einstein "The Hardest Thing in the World to Understand is Income Tax.”  That one is amusing because of course, Albert Einstein was a genius and if he thought it was hard to understand, what hope do the rest of us have?   Well there is hope.  And her name is Jessica Green!  Jessica is the managing director of Green Tax and Business Advisors.     Jessica has a Master in Business with focus in Accounting and has over 15 years of experience in business strategy and has been doing tax preparation, tax strategy, and accounting for over eight years. She enjoys solving complex tax problems and designing strategies to take the tax burden off her clients' shoulders and believes all clients should be served with the highest levels of accuracy, professionalism, and customer service.    We discuss many common issues that affect Real Estate Agents and Investors.  Imagine if you will:  You are a real estate agent.  You sell a house and make a $15,000 commission.  There is no withholding, and that money is going to burn a hole in your pocket.  Jessica can help you take the proper deductions and reduce your tax liability, and just as important she can help you plan for the eventual tax bill you will have to pay.     As Ben Franklin said: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”   We are very glad to have net Jessica, we are glad she is a Signature Preferred Vendor and member of our Vendor & Affiliate Network.  And we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.   For more information or to contact Jessica please click here: https://greentaxandbusinessadvisors.com Have an idea for a podcast?

In this working session, Siganture Real Estate Broker Matthew Maschler and and Staci Garcia continue to discuss the sale of a property to our mystery buyer.     After the first Buyer disappeared and forfeited their deposit, the new Buyer (who we suspect is the same Buyer) put the house under contract.  During inspection they asked to lower the price of the house, but they did not give any reason whatsoever.  Just:  Let's get this done!     We discuss the agent's obligation to present all offers (she did), and we wonder if the Buyer still intends to buy the property (they do).  They never cancelled the contract and put up a bigger deposit.     We did not even get a chance to discuss any of the other properties on the list.     Have an idea for a podcast?

Do you know how many listings are added to the Multiple Listing Service every day?   Do you know how many properties are marked closed?  Or under contract? How many properties have a price change or canceled?    We do.  We are Real Estate Finders.  Of course we check the hot sheets every day.    The hotsheets give you this information.  And that's why we know the newest market changes in real time.    We also revisited the case of the mystery buyer from last week and had a few updates to add.   We are Real Estate Finders.  Of course we can't guess what the future condo dues will be.  Despite being asked to do so.      We also discussed our repeat investment buyer, and I think I'm going to try to recruit the listing agent to join our team. But I will settle for getting him to join us one day on this podcast.   Have an idea for a podcast?

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and ordered a whole bunch of food and wine and ran up a really big bill? There must be a lot of trust from the restaurant that you will pay at the end.    In real estate, sometimes Sellers insist on a proof of funds, to even see the house.      Can you imagine if Apple or Mercedes would not show you a product without first finding out how much money was in your bank account?   In real estate, many Sellers insist on seeing a proof of funds before they will even show you the house. The buyer doesn't even know if they like the house and they're not even ready to enter a negotiation.      So as an agent or a seller, do you require proof of funds to do a first showing?   We also discuss a mystery where, in the middle of the deal The Buyer disappeared. After inspections. They never applied to the HOA and the closing date has passed.    How do you get the deposit back? Two words: Lawyer.    And stay tuned to the end to see how the The Case of the Disappearing Buyer is resolved (Spoiler Alert, we won!!!).      Have an idea for a podcast?

Staci and Matthew talk about FIRPTA, the Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act. What is FIRPTA?  It is the withholding of a percentage of the sales price when the Seller is a non-Us person. Why?  So the IRS can get paid. Matthew talks about some real estate deals he has done where this withholding is triggered. And we are joined by Attorneys Greg Gefen and Benjamin Werber via Youtube. FIRPTA: Sounds funny, but it won't be funny if 15% is taken from the seller at closing.  Have questions about FIRPTA? Have a seller who is a foreign national?

Their 101 Point Inspection will tell you everything you need to know about the property.    During our interview with Jamie we delve into the critical aspects of property inspection. Jamie's insights provided invaluable knowledge on navigating the real estate market, emphasizing the significance of thorough inspections in the home-buying process.    We discuss common inspection pitfalls and how a comprehensive assessment can empower potential buyers to make informed decisions, ensuring a smooth transition into their new homes.   We also talk about the value of a home inspection for new homes and prior to the new home warranty expiration.    To quote Sherlock Holmes:  “It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence”  and we couldn't agree more.      When you are buying a property anywhere in Florida contact Sherlock Holmes Inspections  www.sherlock-inspections. com and ask for Jamie if you are buying in Palm Beach or Broward County.  Have an idea for a podcast?

Today we are closing on the sale of an investment property so we decided to take a deep dive into this real-life case study. In 2016, Matthew purchased a property with the goal of turning it into a rental investment. Today, we unravel the entire journey – from acquisition to sale – to determine if this venture was a success or a bust.   Our discussion kicks off with the critical analysis that Matthew and his team undertook before making the purchase. What factors did they consider when evaluating whether this property would be a wise rental investment? Discover the key elements that contribute to the success of a rental property and how to identify them.   One of the central questions we tackle is the rate of return. What is it, and why is it such a crucial metric for investors? We'll explore the various factors that impact the rate of return, shedding light on what can either boost or deflate this essential measure of profitability.   But that's not all. Real estate investments are filled with unpredictable variables that can significantly affect your returns. We delve into the unknown and unforeseen factors that Matthew encountered during his ownership of the property – factors that could make or break an investment.   Fast forward to 2023 – Matthew has decided to sell the property, and we've recorded this episode on closing day. We take a retrospective look at the decision to sell and run a comprehensive analysis comparing the property's market value to its acquisition cost. Does this investment still hold up in today's market, or has it lost its shine?   In the final moments of the episode, we reach the pivotal question: Was this investment a good one, or was it a bust? Join us as we examine the numbers, the experiences, and the lessons learned to determine the ultimate fate of Matthew's investment property.   If you're an aspiring real estate investor or simply curious about the ins and outs of property investment, this episode is packed with valuable insights and a real-world case study that will leave you better equipped to make informed decisions in the world of real estate. Don't miss out on this fascinating journey through the highs and lows of investment property ownership.   Have an idea for a podcast?

The most common contract to buy a house in Florida is the “As Is” contract.  But what does "As Is" mean?   And what should you look for during the inspection period?   When you have the home inspected, it is not a matter of Passing or Failing.  You are provided the opportunity to get to know the property.  How it works.  What it is made of.  It is the time to ask questions.  To really decide if this is the house for you.    There is no point to getting the home inspected if you are not going to look at the inspection.  And no one can do it for you.  It is your money, your house, your duty to check it out.  You don't want to be surprised after the closing.   In this episode we discuss things to look for during the inspection.  Some that your inspector will catch, but some that you as the Buyer need to see for yourself.  Or hire a specialist to inspect further.   Have an idea for a podcast?

Can a real estate agent advertise another Broker's listings?  Absolutely, that is your job as an agent.  To sell, and other Broker's listing are your inventory. But there are some pitfalls to be aware of.  Sometimes you need permission.  Sometimes you do not. And you always need to credit the Listing Broker. Also, what happens when a Buyer calls you directly and does not want a commission?  In Florida, as a real estate agent this is a cause for celebration.  But many Buyers do not understand how the listing agent is paid in this situation.
