Palm Beach Real Estate and Loans

OK, you and your family need a Real Estate Agent.

You certainly want to find the best person for the job.

There are many things to consider, but the most important one is to select a person that knows about the area that you're interested in.

To put it bluntly:

Does your potential Agent have a clue about the area that you want to look at?

Quiz them - what do they know about the neighborhood in general, then get more specific -

Every part of the country is different of course.

I'm in Palm Beach Gardens - it's not a big city, but the # of Golf / Country Clubs in the area is huge:

BallenIsles, PGA National, Steeplechase, Mirasol, Old Palm, Old Marsh, San Michele, Frenchman's Reserve, Frenchman's Creek, Ibis....

Each one is very different - price ranges, gated / not gated, membership prices and so on.

Your Agent should be able to answer your questions before you even head toward the community so that you have the most efficient, successful search possible.

Be careful--- someone may advertise themselves as an 'expert', but that may not mean a thing!

Just yesterday someone billing themselves as an expert on the area's Golf communities brought a buyer to one of my listings- he had no idea that Club Membership was mandatory, or even what the fees were.  His Client was not very happy.

There's a Brokerage in town that pushes the 'fact' that they are internet experts when in reality they have virtually no online presence at all.

Ok, now I'm ranting, but I think you get the point!
