Yes! The Lovebug’s drive me crazy but at least it’s only for a short period of time.

Of course! Thanks for watching.

Hi Kris, on the buyer broker agreement, you can specify a geographic area such as a town, county etc. Also, there is a single property buyer broker agreement that is also an option if you wanted to limit the agreement with the buyers agent. Hope this helps!

Hi Eric, thank you for your comment. It's unfortunate that it came across that way to you. Long story short, I don't think much is going to change. The seller will still pay the buyer agent commission as usual. If the commission is not there, then as I described on the form, there are two ways to request the commission, at closing as a concession as part of the negotiations (credit at closing) at which the buyer pays their agent through this) or the seller pays direct to broker (as usual). If the seller flat out refuses to pay a concession to be used as commission or commission period, then having my buyers pay me any sort of compensation will be addressed on a case to case basis. I won't refuse to work with buyers (for instance 1st home buyers) who do not have the extra funds. But again, I don't think we will run into this. Regardless of who you work with you will have to sign this form if you work with an agent to represent you on the purchase of a home. I'm not sure how I came across as untrustworthy as this is straightforward but I only want to work with people that want to work with me. Best of luck to you.

@@livinginstjohnscountyfl I don't think you came across that way at all. I thought you sounded very sincere and knowledgeable. As a Realtor here of 20 years we all have a lot to learn with this and have to take things step by step. I really don't like how buyers agents are getting shafted and turned on by hateful people. They have no idea the work we do to help buyers. We do not work for free.

@@MiamiMase I agree this is a learning process for all of us and things continue to change. I've spent HOURS in training classes to stay up to date on how to follow the new guidelines etc. It's also a challenge because all the brokerages are handling these changes differently.

Me too i am not willing to deal with no realtor no agent no buyer agent i am posting my house for sale myself S FSBO on zillow doing my own oppening house i iknow it hard to find a buyer that way but i wont give up its a very nice single family house in great condition and great location near winter park village and 15 min away fro downtown orlando if somebody interested they can reach out to us but no willing to deal with realtor or agent np MLS no commission 😅 Zillow FSBO Hamlet dr ,maitland, Fl 32751

I agree, it's a pain. A lot of states have required the form already so this won't be something new for those agents to navigate. And you're right, buyers are not going to want to pay if the sellers do not so it will be a tough conversation beforehand to figure out what to do. However, I'm optimistic as a default and while I think that commission amounts may decrease, I don't think they are going away. And even though they won't be published on the MLS we can still see them on broker websites, emails, social media.

Yes! It’s really convenient to get around.

Thanks Shannon!

Thank you! She’s 13 and super sassy 😁

@@livinginstjohnscountyfl How sweet. ♥️🥰🐶😃😆

Tell me how you really feel 😂

Thank you for your question. Each community has varying fees. Shearwater for example from this video has CDD (community district development) fee of around $2300 a year - this is paid through your property taxes. And the HOA fee is about $240 per year. The CDD is typically on a bond of 20-30 years. Once paid off you have just the operations and maintenance portion to pay. The CDD fees of each of these master planned communities pay for the financing, building and maintenance of amenities. The CDD bond portion can also be paid off in advance. Sometimes you’ll find a resale or even new construction where the builder has paid off the bond portion. Silverleaf, one of our newer master planned communities does not have CDD fees but they have a higher HOA - around $1400 a year. Hope this helps!

Hi Gianna, yes there are condos and townhomes in WGV area. A lot of new ones in the Silverleaf area. Feel free to send me your email at [email protected] and I'll send you what is available to check out.

Hi Patti! Here's the video showing Markland. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aovUk3hrl85mj9E I'll do a driving tour of Ashley Oaks soon. There is room for boat/Rv parking and the lots are huge.

Thank you! @@livinginstjohnscountyfl

That’s great! Well if you ever decide to move down, reach out. I’d be happy to help you.

lol! Sorry! :) I was meeting people from out of town to show around or I would have. ♥️

Welcome! 😀

@@livinginstjohnscountyfl thank you 😍

Hello! Yes, they all vary in size. On average about they are .25 acres and up. There is one on the market today in Murabella that is on close to half an acre. Ashley Oaks in WGV has huge lots some an acre and they allow RV and boat storage.

@@livinginstjohnscountyfl Thank you.

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching. They should stay the same over the course of the bond period that’s left. However, if the money isn’t managed properly to cover maintenance, roads etc. they could increase. It’s important for residents to attend the board meetings to make sure funds are being allocated properly. Yes, HOA could go up as well. Any increases would need to be voted on.

I bet! I love that your dining area is right off to the side.

Most communities here especially the ones you might be considering are not in a flood zone. I always share this link www.gis.sjcfl.us/floodviewer/ where you can put in the address to confirm if it's in a flood zone or not. Also, unless you're living on the beach, hurricanes aren't really an issue in this area of NE Florida. Most communities in SJC are far enough inland that the biggest concern is wind but newer homes are built with wind mitigation in mind. Hurricane insurance is not required in these communities. Yes, car and homeowners insurance is a concern as many carriers have pulled out of Florida. However I'm still hearing from people moving from the NE that the rates are still cheaper than what they were paying up there. Let me know if you have any other questions or how I can help. Feel free to call or text me at 904-222-0668 or email [email protected]

Is that how yours is now? Do you also have seating in the kitchen? At the island or breakfast nook?

@livinginstjohnscountyfl that is how it will be. Currently I have two spaces, one is formal. Too much. Building in silver leaf, it will have a space close to the kitchen for the dining table. Keep it simple.

@@lisavanaartsen5908 Nice!

Thanks, Vicki! Just a couple more weeks! 😀
