Are “All Cash” deals really “All Cash?”

Today I wanted to touch on a trend that I have personally witnessed 3 times this month. We all know that “Cash is King” when negotiating a sales contract. However, are all these deals really closing 100% cash from the buyer’s pockets? No, not really. What do I mean? Well, the buyer makes a cash offer with no financing contingency meaning that there isn’t a lender involved which also means there isn’t an appraisal contingency. The seller feels like this would be a guaranteed closing rather than running the risk of the lender at the end pulling the plug on […]

What is a Broker’s Open? | This Weeks Coral Gables Broker’s Opens

Broker’s Opens are events that allow other real estate agents to see a showcased home. They are different from standard open houses in the fact that they are for other real estate agents rather than the general public. It gives an opportunity for a home to be shown to other brokers who may have potential buyers. These events are tools that we use for gaining exposure for a property and presenting it for sale. Over my years of experience, I have found that Broker’s Opens are most effective when a house has not been listed on the market in many […]
