    PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE MONTH 

    **CONDITION OF YOUR PROPERTY IS VERY IMPORTANT.  With that said, the curb appeal of your property is the first thing a prospective tenant will see.  Five points to keep in mind:

    1.  Beautify the path – Let your eyes walk from the street to the front door, how does it look?

    2.  Front door – Have it painted and well lit.

    3.  The entry way – Have it clean and maybe a ‘Welcome Home’ door mat.

    4.  Freshen up – Do you need a quick paint of the trim?

    5.  Add some plants – A few dollars in flowers could go a long way.

    Your Dream Home: Why Neighborhoods and Communities Matter 

    Finding the right home in Orlando isn’t always as easy as relying on a checklist of square footage, number of bathrooms, and the upkeep of the yard. Although these types of features are important when determining where you want to live and raise a family, another important consideration is the neighborhood where your dream house is situated.

    Orlando and Windermere homes for sale are noted for their family-friendly communities and idyllic backdrop, but that doesn’t mean that every home is ideally placed. Before you purchase a home in any Florida city, it’s important to research what the rest of the neighborhood has to offer.

    Schools

    Schools are the number one consideration when it comes to choosing a good neighborhood in FL. If you have kids, the reasons are easy to spot: you want your children to have access to a good, safe education. However, even homeowners without kids need to keep this issue in mind, especially if you plan on selling the house some day. Top-rated schools will not only keep your property value high, but they’ll also serve as an appeal to potential homebuyers in the future.

    Crime and Sex Offenders

    Few people want to live where they feel unsafe or fear for their families. That’s why you should always check the crime rate and search for registered sex offenders in the area. Never take a neighborhood at face value; a place that looks charming during the day might have a high rate of break-ins, while a neighborhood that looks less savory might actually have a strict neighborhood watch program in place and several policeman living nearby.

    Walkability/Livability

    Suburbs in the region of Orlando are generally good places for a slower pace of life, but the ability to walk to the market, the park, or to run simple errands might not be as high as what you can find in a more urban center. At the same time, Orlando suburbs might be better for taking a scenic evening stroll. When determining where you want to live in Florida, keep in mind what is more important for your lifestyle: being near amenities, or being near other families with similar goals as you.

    The same is true for things like construction zones, local garbage plants, train tracks, playgrounds, dogs, or industrial zones nearby. Make sure you take a walk through your potential neighborhood during the day and in the evening to see what types of noises, smells, and sights you will have to get used to.

    The Neighbors

    Nothing tells you more about a neighborhood in Windermere than the neighbors. Does everyone keep their homes and yards in good order? If a visually-appealing community is important to you, you might want to look around to make sure everyone else feels the same way. You might also want to investigate why. Is upkeep important to the neighbors, or is it held in place by strict homeowners’ association rules? Are you ready to make the same level of commitment?

    Also, you’ll want to determine the types of people who live nearby. Is there a large percentage of young families? Teenagers? Professionals who are rarely at home? Although these things can and will change, they will tell you a lot about the overall neighborhood culture.

    Neighbors also matter when it comes to the type and sizes of homes they have. Are there a large number of foreclosures? That could indicate a lowering neighborhood value. Are the other houses very different than yours in terms of value? (Note: Being surrounded in houses much higher in value than yours means that you may pay more in property taxes. Houses with a lower value means that you may end up having a difficult time selling in the future.)

    Buying Your New Orlando Home

    Buying a home, whether it’s in the center of Orlando or on the outskirts of Winter Garden, is a big undertaking. It’s important to look beyond the physical structure of your dream house to notice all that’s going on around you. After all, the place you call home is about more than four bedrooms and three baths; it’s about your way of life.

    If you’re ready to learn more about purchasing a home in FL, contact Jay Myers today. We’ll match you with the perfect home—including neighborhood amenities.

    PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE MONTH 

    **Everytime you have a new tenant move into a property, insist that the tenant pay you the deposit and first month’s rent in a cashier’s check form only before you give them keys  (A money order is not a cashier’s check because they CAN be cancelled). **

    Do-It-Yourself Real Estate Marketing in Orlando 

    Marketing a Orlando home to make it attractive to buyers isn’t just about staging the house or putting a For Sale sign up in the yard. In today’s real estate market, it’s important to reach out to a larger audience through various types of media. After all, buying and selling a home in the Windermere region means tapping into everything that people use on a daily basis: computers, newspapers, magazines, and more traditional real estate routes.

    A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words

    The majority of home buyers in the FL region begin their search online. The Internet is becoming an increasingly viable way to present homes from both an interior and an exterior vantage point. Although Jay Myers will help you to understand the best angles for presenting a photographic display of your house, you can help by pointing out what it is you love best about the home. A great backyard garden, a cozy front porch swing, a spacious kitchen, the tile on your bathroom floor – no matter what it is, use it as a way to entice buyers into contacting your agent for more information.

    Virtual tours are becoming a very popular way to showcase your home online, as well. Allowing viewers to “walk through” your home gives them a stronger connection to it.

    Signs and Advertisements

    The more traditional Florida home selling options include putting up a sign or placing an ad in the newspaper, in your local real estate magazine, or even on direct mailing advertisements. These steps have long been a part of the buying and selling market, regardless of where you live.

    The truth of the matter is, there’s a reason these actions are relied upon so heavily: no one will know you’re selling your Orlando home unless you post it somewhere! While decisions related to where you place the signs and advertisements will most likely be made with the assistance of Jay Myers, you can help by finding additional ways to spread the word of your sale. Online home selling postings for Winter Garden or Windermere are fairly common, and oftentimes, simply letting your friends and family know that your Orlando home is on the market can go a long way in spreading the word.

    Rely on Jay Myers

    Of course, the most important home marketing step you can take is trusting Jay Myers to work hard to sell your home as quickly and efficiently as possible. Like any real business partnership, selling a Florida home is all about finding someone you can trust and working together to get the best possible results.

    Buying a Historic Home in Florida 

    For many people living in or moving to FL, the best real estate purchase is one that combines the comfort of home with a piece of history. Buying a historic home in Orlando, Windermere or Winter Garden is fairly common in today’s market, thanks to an incredible real estate climate and one of the most dynamic historic districts in the state.

    However, if you’re simply looking at the intricate architecture and are thinking how great it would be to own a piece of the city’s history, you might want to take a step back and consider all the work involved in becoming a historic home owner.

    Home Quality

    The most important consideration for purchasing a historic home in Orlando is the quality of the house. Whether you’re looking at a bungalow or a mansion, you have to remember that time is rarely kind to real estate.

    In addition to outdated materials (like plaster instead of drywall or lead pipes) and difficult-to-work-with architectural styles, you have to consider the costs of restoring the house with authenticity in mind. Many materials are no longer available or can be costly if you want to maintain the historic integrity of your home. The same is true of the availability and cost of craftsman qualified to work with your particular home.

    Florida Housing Regulations

    Many historic homes are overseen by governing bodies that regulate what you can and can’t do to your own home. If you’re in the market to purchase a historic home, make sure you know who you will have to go through to get the right permits for renovation, or if you’ll need to register and pay a fee to get your home listed as an authentic historic site. You might also want to note what kind of tourist interest you will get from having a historically-listed site.

    Financial Investments

    Fortunately, not everything about owning a Orlando historic home is hard work! Historic homes, when restored with authenticity, safety, and modern comfort in mind, are an incredible financial investment. Many people are willing to pay top dollar for homes that are in perfect shape or that have a keen attention to detail.

    Many local governments also offer tax credits and tax freezes for those who maintain a certain level of quality in their registered historic homes. This means that a historic home can be a great investment, as well as a beautiful piece of architecture.

    Finding and Buying Your Historic Home

    When refurbished to contain all the modern amenities today’s families need and enjoy, a historic home can become a showpiece – both for your own visitors as well as those interested in the history of Orlando, Winter Garden and Windermere.
