I give my kudos to all the real estate agents going after the short sale business. Me myself I don't like to be burned and tortured slowly so you guys can have the short sales, why anyone would set out on purpose to target this market  is beyond my wildest dreams, but to each its own.We are fortunete we work with a lot of Tampa relocation buyers and they typically don't have the time to be fooling around with short sales.

Like there was not enough things to do as a Realtor. I decided to start a Real Estate forum geared to the Tampa Real Estate Market.With all the several different blogs to keep up with, different social networks, updating my websites, and last but not least showing and selling homes.I think we need to add more hours to the day. I am either stupid or crazy not sure which one probaly both but I guess I am glutton for punishment. But serious now I have been to many real estate forums including of course real estate webmasters which is one of the best around and thought it would be great to have a forum for real estate professionals in my market to exchange ideas, promote their listings, advertise their services and more.

I know it is difficult for agents to…

I recently had a gentleman call me from out of state recently, he said he was thinking about relocating and was in the first stages at the moment and would plan on relocating towards the end of the year. He asked me if it was a good time to buy in Tampa, well I am a Realtor in Tampa what am I going to say no? I told him it was great time to buy with many forclosure homes  and homes priced more than reasonable by sellers. He then asked me if it has hit the bottom. Well if I could predict where the top or bottom of any market is then I wouldn't be selling real estate I would be sitting next to Jim Cramer on Mad Money. I went on to tell him that I couldn't say it was the bottom but felt it pretty close as it could be to the bottom.

What I like to point out…

The Brandon Florida real estate market is starting to pick up momentum with actual decrease in Inventory since the begining of the year. You can view the Brandon Real Estate market reports to get an Idea of what is currently on the market compared to what was availabe in the beginining of the year.

The rental market is also going strong with fewer homes to choose from as a renter.

Realtors now more than ever before are utilizing blogging, web site optimization and other online resources. This is great for the consumer as now it is the Realtors, who are able to communicate, attract and provide professional service almost instantly to the consumer will be rewarded. The Tampa market alone is a very competitive market and I am noticing a lot more competion in terms of agent’s blogging and utiling the internet in terms of marketing. I always scratch my head when I see agents spend so much money in local newspapers, magazines, and real estate publications. Especially when nearly all home buyers begin their home search on the internet.

With all the great real estate professionals out there vying for a piece of the real estate pie…

Tampa Real Estate

We have been working with quite a few buyers ready willing and able to buy since the first of the year. Many deals in the Tampa market can be found at prices once impossible. Most of our buyers have been either relocation buyers from other states or first time home buyers. The Tampa home rental market is getting tighter with less home rentals available. So now more than ever is a great time to buy in the Tampa market!

I briefly read through some posts regarding this new contest. I think it is a great idea. Although I do like a great challenge I don't think I will not be able to put in the time to compete with all the wonderful REW webmasters. I would like to give a vote to a few real estate agents that I have learned from the most. The #1 greatest real estate agent in the world I would reccomend would be Ryan Ward. His posts and informative information in regards to blogging and building anchor links have been such a great resource for me. Eric Bramlett would be my #2 greatest real estate agent in the world. Eric Bramlett was another agent that I have learned so much from and he is a very respected agent in the Austin Texas community. There are so many other agents that…
