HOW TO CHOOSE A GREAT LISTING AGENT
So you want to get your home sold for the best price and in the best time. Some real estate agents are willing to go the extra mile, some are better are negotiating than others, and some will do the best marketing for that home and get you multiple offers. Point is, the decision to pick the right listing agent for you when selling your home is super important to not only how and when your home sells, but your experience of home selling in general! Keep on reading and we will give you the tips and tricks you need to pick the right listing agent for you!
DO YOU GET ALONG WITH THIS PERSON? Being able to get along with your listing agent is important in your overall experience in this process. Now, we aren’t saying you have to be best friends with your listing agent, but being able to get along with them and work well with them is vital to it going as smooth as it possibly can. So, when you are first sitting down with them to discuss working together, evaluate their communication skills, if there is any tension or any other signs that this may or may not be a good person to work with. Throughout the process, you will be talking to and working closely with this person, so keep that in mind before signing that contract with them!
HOW DO THEY PLAN ON MARKETING MY HOME? Marketing a home is one of the key factors to getting your home sold for the most and the fastest, because if people don’t know about your home, they won’t buy, and if there are multiple offers, it encourages those vying for the home to go over asking. So, ask the listing agent how they will go about this. Keep in mind that in the real estate world, digital marketing is super powerful, so them just putting it in the paper and hosting an open house or two isn’t going to cut it. Listen for them mentioning photography, videography, matterport, social media, email marketing, etc. You want a listing agent that will use different types of methods to market your home and get it sold.
WHAT WILL COMMUNICATION LOOK LIKE? Communication is key. How would you like your listing agent to communicate with you? How often will they communicate with you? Setting this expectation and having open communication will make the process go smoother. Also set what method you prefer. Are you more of a texter? Caller? Want to communicate through email, or a mix of all methods? Make sure to set this with your listing agent prior to working with them.
7 PREMIUM PARTNERS . 407-380-2800 . PremiumProperties.com
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME IN THIS PROCESS? This goes back to having open communication with your listing agent and this gives both parties the opportunity to set expectations. For example, how many open houses would you like your listing agent to host, and what would the listing agent expect on your part to prep for the open house? (cleaning procedures, moving stuff around, etc.) Outside of just open house expectations, there are other things that the listing agent may expect of you as the seller, so go in with an open mind and set some expectations yourself too!
INTERVIEW A FEW, NOT JUST ONE Before setting yourself on 1, talk to a few listing agents. Getting the feel for different ones, asking the same questions to hear their different takes on the answers, etc. will help you choose the best listing agent for you! Take notes during your meetings with each listing agent to review later, and you will be one step closer to getting the right listing agent for you and selling that home!

LITTLE KNOWN SECRETS ABOUT BUYING A HOME IN FLORIDA
Florida is one of the top states in the country that people migrate to. From the theme parks, to the lack of state income tax to the amazing yearround sunshine, it is no mystery why so many people re-locate to this state! What if we told you that there are other little known benefits to moving to Florida that you may not be aware of? Keep on reading for more info!
FLORIDA IS A HOMESTEAD STATE This is a great benefit for moving to Florida because this serves as a tax incentive for residents by protecting homeowners from high property taxes. How it works is, Florida residents can file for an exemption worth up to $50,000 to reduce how much they owe to property owners. There are rules to qualify for this incentive, one of them being that it has to be your primary residence and you had to have owned that home by January 1st of the tax year you are filing for. If this is something you are interested in, look into it further to see all of the qualifications!
THERE IS MORE TO EXPERIENCE THAN JUST THE THEME PARKS We get it. Florida will forever be known for parks like Disney, Universal, Seaworld and more. Florida continues to be the #1 tourist destination in the country because of all of the theme parks, amaing hospitality, etc. But this state has sooo much more to offer! From springs, botanical gardens, drivethru movies and safaris, beaches, adventure parks, nature trails, dinner shows and so much more, there is tons to do in Florida that people dont know about! So once you make the transition to Florida, start exploring all there is to discover here in the sunshine state.
THIS IS HOW FLORIDA STACKS IN AFFORDABILITY You probably are aware that Florida is pretty affordable when compared to the rest of the country. It is one of the reasons that so many people come here to retire. Our bustling tourism allots us the opportunity to not have state income tax, which really contributes to the reason Florida is affordable. Now, if we are talking about rent, Florida is the least affordable (in other words, conider buying over renting when you relocate), but when considering general affordability, Florida is less than 1% above the national average! Now, keep in mind that just like many states, the rate of affordability will range based on where in Florida you decide to relocate to (cost of living will differ in Cape Coral v.s. Miami), but research cost of living in the towns you are considering before making that move! Florida is an amazing state to relocate to and has so much to offer. Not to mention it is a melting pot of culture and diversity! Here at Premium Properties, we have tons of agents that are not only experienced in the business, but love Florida too and can help you get accomodated! Give us a call today to get into your Florida dream home!

5 WAYS TO SAVE MORE MONEY TO GET INTO YOUR NEXT HOME
You want to get into your new home but you need to save more money, we get it. In the market we are in now, cash offers are more valuable than ever to win out on bids and get your dream home. However, if you don’t want to wait until you can do a full cash offer and just want to save for the down payment, closing costs, etc., we want to give you tips and tricks to saving more money and saving it faster! Keep reading on for more.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAVE 20% The common myth in homebuying is that you have to save 20% for the down payment. I mean sure, if you want to avoid the PMI (private mortgage insurance), the 20% is vital, however, it isnt required to get into a home. From the down payment, to closing costs,etc., we recommend saving about 10% of the purchase price, so if you get prequalif ied for a 300K home, aim to save $30,000. You also want to take the time to look at all your expenses and see what monthly subscriptions you can cut at least until you get your home. Improve your DTI (Debt to Income Ratio) to increase the amount of money you can save f rom your paychecks.Doing this could save you hundreds a year. You also want to set a goal. How much do you want to save and what amount of time do you want to save it? (For example, saving 30K over 5 years). Setting this expectation will not only motivate you to get it done, but then it will give you a good idea of when you can start really looking for homes.
ASK FOR A RAISE OR GET A NEW JOB Our f irst tip is f inding a way to bring home more money. Maybe it is time to apply for a higher position, or maybe you have been in your current job for some time and it’s the perfect time to ask for a raise. Regardless, have a feasible goal of how much you want to make and then work towards that. If you have a spouse, encourage them to do the same so that you can both bring home more to save more. Once you are making that extra money, set a goal of what percentage of your checks that you will be saving and stay disciplined!
PICK UP A SIDE HUSTLE Do you have a specif ic skill that you can get a second job doing, or want to pick up a new skill? Having a side hustle could be a great way to bring in another source of income into the mix and really fast track your savings goals. Do your research on estimated prof it for whatever side hustle you decide to do and match it up with your desired savings goals.
PREMIUM PARTNERS . 407-380-2800 . PremiumProperties.com
17
RENT OUT A ROOM OR A PORTION OF YOUR GARAGE A great way to make more money and have a side hustle is to rent out a spare room in your current home on Airbnb (if possible), or if you have a garage that is fairly empty, you can actually get some extra cash via an app that gives people the opportunity to store some of their stuff in your garage. This will be especially great if you live in an area that maybe homes or apartments are smaller (i.e. New York) and there is a high demand for storage facilities. As an added bonus, maybe put your car on Turo on your off days to allow people to rent out your car for short trips.
RESEARCH FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER PROGRAMS If this will be your f irst home, there are a lot of f irst time homebuyer assistance programs out there to help you with your down payment! Research what programs are out there, and their qualif ications. Also get some feedback f rom your realtor about available programs, because they may give you more insight f rom your research!
DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP Your family and f riends may want to assist you with getting you into a home! Dont be af raid to set up a GoFundme or to ask people directly to donate to the cause some other way. Maybe even host a garage sale to put all the proceeds towards your housing fund and encourage your family and f riends to come out! You will be surprised how much others will want to help you achieve some of your life goals. There are so many ways to generate money to save for your house. From renting things out, getting a new job, asking for help etc., these are only a few ways out of hundreds to save more money. We want to encourage you to stick to your savings goals and really discipline yourself to achieve the goals in that designated time, but also don’t be too hard on yourself if you back track once or twice. Saving money for such a big purchase takes time, so having the patience to achieve that goal is also vital to helping you stay focused. Now get out there and start saving! -Adriana Nelson
