    What I won't do as a Real Estate Agent.

    Hey everyone, Since you already have an idea of what a real estate agent, such as myself, can do for you, I thought it'd be useful to let you know some of the things I won't do for you.   First, I won't pressure you to make a hasty decision. Whether you're buying or selling, I understand that it's a big decision and there are a lot of things to consider. You'll have my full support while you make the best choice for your situation. Second, I won't let your budget dictate the level of customer service I provide you with or define the way I work with you. Third, I won't abandon you once the sale is made. I'm here to help you throughout the entire process and beyond, so even after the sale is complete, you can count on continued support from me. As this is my full time profession, you can count on me 7 days a week during and even after the sale. Fourth, I won't ignore your questions. If there's something you need to know or want advice on, I'm here to help. I’ll be honest and straight to the point, even if it’s not the answer you’re looking for. Five, I won't let small details slip by. I'm always meticulous when it comes to making sure all paperwork is in order and that everyone involved in your transaction is on the same page. Remember, this is a team sport. It takes many key professionals for a smooth sailing experience, and that’s what I am here to doz.   There you have it. Those are the five things I won't do as your real estate agent.

    Unlocking Sustainable Living: Transforming Your Home into an Energy-Efficient Oasis!

    Hey everyone! Are you looking for ways to make your home more energy efficient? Well today, I'm going to highlight some of the upgrades that can take your home to a whole new level of efficiency. First up is upgrading to high efficiency windows. These will include dual pan windows that may be gas or air filled and even include a specialized coating to reflect UV rays. Not only will new windows reduce drafts and lower your energy costs, but they’ll also bring a modern, refined look to your home. Second, if you're looking for an immediate boost in energy savings, consider replacing your older lighting fixtures with LED bulbs. LEDs are much more efficient than other traditional bulbs, and they last a lot longer too! Third, your attic insulation might not be adequate for these heat waves in Florida. Make sure to have a professional take a look at this and take the necessary actions to make it right. Insulation plays a huge role here. Finally, to ensure that your home is air-tight, check around windows and door frames for any cracks and gaps that need sealing. Fill up any holes with caulk or weatherstripping, and you’ll be instantly sealing in the air you pay to heat or cool. It's an easy fix that can pay for itself right away! By following these simple tips, you'll be well on your way to a more efficient and better looking home. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time!

    Transitioning Elderly Parents: Challenges and Solutions

    Transitioning elderly parents to a new living situation can be difficult, both emotionally and practically. Parents may feel like their independence is being taken away or that they are losing control over their lives. To ease this transition, it’s important to start by having a conversation about what the changes mean for them. Explain why the move is in their best interest and make sure to ask questions about how they feel about the move and the options available. When choosing a new home, it’s important to take their feelings into account and to pick a location that they are comfortable with. Also, consider if any special care is needed so you can find the best available option to suit their needs. It helps to offer support and reassurance, allowing them to take things at their own Pace. If possible, include them in the decision-making process and consider how they can still maintain their independence while living in a new place. This type of transition can be a difficult process but with the right kind of support and understanding, it can be done quite smoothly. Good communication and patience will go a long way in making sure that they feel secure and comfortable in their new living arrangements.

  • The Importance of a Final Walk-Through!,Nicolas A Scaron PLLC

    The Importance of a Final Walk-Through!

    A final walk-through is critical because it gives the buyer the opportunity to see the property once more prior to getting to the closing table. It gives the buyer the ability to make sure that everything is in order and nothing with the property has change from the day they first saw the home.  I always advise my clients to be able and willing to conduct a final walk-through the day of closing just a couple hours prior to closing for the following reason: This reduces the probability and likelihood of something happening to the property between the final walk-through and closing on your new home purchase. As you can see, doing a final walk-through the day prior does not give you the highest level of protection and doing such is not advisable.  I hope this little advise provided you with some insight into the importance of final walk-throughs.
