Be the Last to Buy a Home Mirasol Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens

You could be the last person to buy a home in Mirasol Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens. For about the last 10 years, developer, Taylor Morrison has been building beautiful homes in Mirasol Country Club which is located in the garden city of Palm Beach Gardens just north of West Palm Beach, Florida. While some of the models may have changed since the first home was built in 2000, the quality of the homes and the architectural value has improved. Now, all new homes have hurricane impact glass on all windows and doors eliminating the need to install cumbersome metal shutters in case of a storm. New homes have diagonal tile flooring, frameless glass shower enclosures, stainless steel appliances and many more luxuries now considered standard by Taylor Morrison.

There is something special about playing a round on a course that has challenged some of the best golfers in the world. The feeling is even more special when it’s your home course!

And..... as an added Bonus, buyers who close by December 31^st get a great deal:

The developer pays the golf membership dues up to $16,500 for the first year and up to $7,000 in HOA fees for the first year.

All this and they are ready to negotiate prices.

Only 1 lake view left. It’s a great Bardini model that has had the kitchen opened to the living area. (This model is the only new home without impact glass)

Forget Staging - Do I Insult My Friend?

There is much written about staging and there is no doubt that setting up a home to show for sale adds enormous benefit for the seller. Buyers are able to evaluate a home without being swayed by bad furniture arrangements, garish wall color or loads of clutter. But, staging is a next step in preparing a home for sale. What must come first are the basics of curb appeal, an appealing front entrace and a generally inviting look and feel.
A good friend lives close by in a beautiful neighborhood in Delray Beach that is much in demand because of the great school district in neighboring Boca Raton. Unfortunately she is getting over a recent divorce and is under some pressure to sell. The inside of her home is a listing agent's dream. Large tiles on the diagonal, a gourmet dark wood kitchen with a center island, granite counters, 4 bedrooms and a den, 4.5 bathrooms. The home is always tidy and uncluttered.

Great curb appeal

She decided to list with an agent that lives in the community, she felt this agent would have a better rapport with buyers and their agents as a resident. Here's the problem, I'll bet that many buyers take one look at the outside of the home and decide to drive by without looking at the inside.
The home is painted white and is showing dirt, so it looks more like a dull grey. The paint on the front door and garage door is peeling. This is Florida, the weather can be tough on homes. The front yard has no plants to speak of in the beds. All you see are a few dried shrubs around a palm tree, no flowers for color. The driveway and walkway is in desperate need of pressure washing.

The million dollar question??????????????
Do I tell her what she should do even though her home is listed elsewhere. I would love to remain friends with her and do not want to sound insulting.
Suggestions.

Pick Up The Dirty Laundry

As a real estate professional who works with many Buyers, I often don't get to view a home until I'm showing to a client. There are some things I've seen that would make every mother mad and ready to get out a rolling pin ready to discipline someone, anyone. As for me, I am sometimes just so flabbergasted I find myself at a loss for words trying to explain what's there to incredulous clients. Here's just a short list of some of the showing no-no's that I have been subjected to, and believe me when I say the value of the home really isn't the factor that determines what you'll see once inside. Some of these strange things have happened in $100,000 homes as well as in $750,000 homes:

- Dirty underwear on the floor, many items, not just one

- Unmade beds - this is so much more common than you would believe      

- Dirty dishes in the sink - not just from breakfast this morning, sometimes, days old

- Is leftover foods on the dining table a separate category or does it fit with the point above

- Bathrooms that look like they've never been cleaned with bottles and boxes of every personal care product on show

- Open suitcases with dirty laundry strewn all over the floor

- Here a living one, the owner lounging on her bed on the phone wearing - well, not very much (and the listing agent met me here)

- Sex toys on the side table - I won't go into detail here :)

- Enough religious items hanging on every inch of wall space, to make the place look like a cult den

Oh, I could go on but I think you get the message. Needless to say, I haven't yet met a Buyer willing to overlook any of these showing transgressions. If fact, they usually want to get out of the home as quickly as possible.

So, please Sellers, understand that your home will never sell if it looks like a college dorm room or like some religious sect has invaded the property. Now don't get all mad at me about the religious items, a few pieces here and there are fine, but when there is no more wall space left to hang one more religious item and that's the only decoration you have on the walls, you may have a problem selling the home.

Your Realtor should be advising you what to do with your home to help it sell quickly at the best possible price. This includes tips on staging, what personal items to remove from view. How to live in your home and have it ready to show at a moment's notice. With religious items, keep in mind that you're showing to people of all faiths and a more neutral environment will all make people feel more comfortable.

I am out of excuses to give my clients – suggestions please.
