Clearwater Relocation | What Types Of Properties Are In Clearwater?

October 27, 2021 By Deborah Ward

If you are looking to relocate to Clearwater, you’re probably thinking about what kind of properties are available that fit your life. Are you downsizing? Upsizing? Looking for a change or some of the same in a different location?

Condominiums are one type of home you may consider. If you own a condo you own your own unit, but the common areas belong to the condo association. You will be responsible to pay fees to the association to help with upkeep, and if any improvements need to be made to the common areas, all owners are responsible to help pay for it. While a condo can be as small as a few units, most people think of larger apartment like buildings with amenities like pools, gyms, tennis courts and more.

Multi-Unit Properties are another type of property. This could be something like a 2 unit or multiple unit property where the owner lives in one unit and rents out the others. It is a great way to live in a property or an area that may be higher than you could afford on your own, because you pay your mortgage with the rental payments. It’s also a great way to have a vacation home for yourself, but pay for it with the rental from the other units.

Townhouses are another common form of home to start out in or downsize to. A townhome is different from a condo because the townhome owner owns the home and the property in front of and behind it. Townhomes are usually a few units and may have common areas supported by a homeowners association.

Single-Family Residences may be what you are moving from. And it may be what you are looking to move to. They come in all sizes, so whether up or downsizing, a single family home could fit the bill. Single family homes are stand-alone single dwellings where the owner owns the building and all the surrounding land. Clearwater has some beautiful waterfront single family homes.

Clearwater has all these kinds of homes, so if you are thinking of relocating, call a Realtor to discuss what you may want in a home. Come down and visit to tour all or some of these types of homes. Who knows, you may find you want something you never thought you would!

October 27, 2021 By Deborah Ward

If you are condo shopping in Clearwater, finding a waterfront condo is easy. If you’re not sure what you want in a waterfront condo, here are some of the top amenities found in some of the best ones around. So wet your whistle on these and then have fun finding the best fit for you!

So let’s start with the most obvious top amenity in a waterfront condo: the views! Whether the condo is on the beach or the Intracoastal Waterway, the views will take your breath away! Beach view condos will greet you every day with the clean white sands and gorgeous turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Start your day watching dolphins frolic in the surf, and end it with the most gorgeous sunsets around.

You might like a condo that fronts the Intracoastal Waterway. Watch from your windows, or sit on your balcony and watch all kinds of wildlife swim, swoop and soar past. Enjoy the view of the boats as they skim by on their way out to the Gulf. Watch a sunrise or a sunset daily and take in the grandeur of nature.

All those views aren’t the only fun. You’ll have great water access as well. Beachfront means walk out the door and onto the beach. No long car rides, traffic nightmares or parking hassles. Take a book, chair, blanket and you’re ready. Need something else? No worries, just a quick run into your condo to get it! If you buy on the Intracoastal Waterway, think boating. Many condos have boat ramps and lifts, and your own dock. No extra docking fees or driving a distance to get to your boat. Grab what you need, climb aboard and off you go for your day of fun on the water.

The communities will also have the amenities you expect. Pools, spas, exercise facilities, private parking, gorgeous grounds and community buildings for all to use. And of course the condos themselves will most likely be top notch with all of the things you expect. Granite, wood, marble or tile flooring, all up to date and ready to enjoy. Great kitchens with top notch appliances, granite countertops and beautiful views..what’s not to love! Clearwater condos have all the top amenities, so call your Realtor and come see for yourself!

Top Home Seller Tips – Make Sure You Hire A Realtor Who Will Negotiate Like A Madwoman For You!

October 27, 2021 By Deborah Ward

As a consumer on the outside looking in, all Realtors tend to look the same. They drive around in their big fancy cars and plop signs in yards right? Hmmmm that is not exactly all that they do!!

As a seller’s real estate estate agent, I have a number of negotiating functions that will help to make your home sale happen…

Starting at the beginning, we will work together to figure out a price the market will bear based on the location and condition of your home. Remember, we don’t pick the price, the market determines a range that people will buy in.

If your house is in the best neighborhood in town you are going to be able to command a higher price than if it is located next to the airport (while we all love flying, planes overhead at all hours of the day tend to reduce home values!)

This is where the negotiating starts (with you, my clients). Most times our clients think that their home is worth considerably more than the market will bear. They think that there is an elusive cash buyer who will be willing to shell out thousands over the appraised value to get the “special” house. It is my job to get the most for your home and sometimes that means asking a homeowner to list for less.

Now, I don’t HAVE to require that you list your house reasonably. I could do what a lot of agents do and “buy the listing”. Meaning that they list it high to make the homeowner happy, knowing full well that the house won’t sell and that they will have to ask for a price reduction or even let it expire.

Negotiating the sale price. This is a tough one for most agents. They get an offer from a buyer and want it to go smoothly every time. I am here to tell you, most offers require a fair amount of back and forth. There is the offer (which may be ridiculously low), the counter, the terms, what stays and what goes. Each of these items can affect your net profits on the sale of your home. For this part you want a Realtor who will negotiate like a madwoman to get you the best price for your home!
