I’m sure you’ve heard people ask this question before. I was asked this question just this morning.

Nathan Tutas Do Realtors® Have A Finder’s Fee?

I’ve had quite a few home buyers ask me lately what the finder’s fee would be if I helped them find a home to purchase.

Nathan Tutas The Fair Housing Act Is Not A Guideline, It's The Law

I had a showing scheduled with a brand new buyer this morning. I had spoken with this gentleman over the phone and emailed a few times while getting him pre-qualified and he seemed like a nice enough guy. I met him at the first property we were supposed to see today. When he got to the property he introduced me to his wife. Again, she seems like a nice enough lady. Before I could open the front door something came out of her mouth that absolutely shocked me! “Do you think there are many blacks… Continue

Nathan Tutas There Are No Bad Buyers, Just Bad Breath

There is no such thing as a bad buyer, just bad deals. I have had buyers skip out on me after putting work in for them. But I chose to make it a positive experience. It gave me a chance to take a good hard look at myself and try to improve. Have I picked up a bad habit somewhere along the way? Was I unresponsive? Do I have bad breath? Did I over dress? Unde… Continue

Nathan Tutas This Seller Had A Monopoly On His Very Own Universe!

I've read a bunch of posts and articles lately about the use of short sales and foreclosures as comparables for appraisals. This is something that is frustrating the hell out of a lot of sellers, as well as some Realtors(R). I had a contract accepted for a buyer about two weeks ago and everything looked like it was going to be smooth sailing. And then the ap… Continue

Nathan Tutas Can You Sell One House To Three Different People?

I had a buyer in town from North Carolina recently that was looking for a great deal on a short sale in Kissimmee, Florida. We made an offer on a property and couldn’t get the listing agent to confirm that he’d received it for almost two weeks. Looking back, I think this was a sign of things to come. We finally got in touch with him and got the offer accept… Continue

bryant tutas Buying Short Sales In Florida

When purchasing a Short Sale the negotiations are between the Buyer and the Seller. Once price and terms are agreed a contract is signed by both parties and the property goes into pending status. A part of the purchase agreement is an addendum stating that the purchase is contingent (subject to) the Seller’s lender agreeing to accept less money (short) than what is owed them. Getting the lender to agree to accept less is a process that can take 2 weeks or 2 months. Basically we have to s… Continue

What Our Buyers Say

Hi Bryant,

Thank you very much for doing the video of the community of where our new villa is. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help finding us our vacation home in sunny Florida and making it so easy. You have been extremely patient with us and with your immense knowledge of the process of buying a property in the USA and helping us every step of the way.

Even though this has been an extremely fast process, we would have found it impossible doing this without you as we could not spend enough time in Florida to find our ideal home and stay until we exchanged contracts. You have taken wonderful photographs of several properties and describe them in detail and pointed out any potential problems. We are extremely grateful for all your help and making this an enjoyable experience.

I would not hesitate recommending you to anyone in the UK thinking of buying a property in Florida.
Once again, thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Richard
