mirthaThis month, Mirtha Barzaga led the pack being named Top Producer and Top Sales Agent! With 3 transactions, her sales totaled over $1.2 million and she closed over $850,000. Mirtha’s success is a direct result of her hard work and commitment to her customers – she even worked on Christmas to help her customers buy their dream lot in the King & Bear. In this economy, hard work should be rewarded and Mirtha deserves the praise!

LynIt’s no surprise that Lyn Sappington was named Top Lister in February! Her professionalism and talent has continued to put her on the tops lists month after month. In February, she sold 2 listings totaling over $500,000. We have no doubt that she will continue to impress!

Will Mandatory Mediation Help Foreclosures in St. Augustine?

March 3, 2010

 | 
Posted by in Short Sales

Florida is one of the states hit very hard by residential foreclosures. We had over 13,000 foreclosure filings in the Seventh Circuit Court (for Flagler, St. Johns, Putnam and Volusia Counties) in 2008 and over 16,000 filings in 2009.

A task force was formed to address the crises and they identified lack of communication between the parties as the most significant issue. The Florida Supreme Court addressed this issue by requiring mediation in all foreclosure cases involving homestead property unless the parties agree otherwise or have already participated in mediation.

The mediation will be handled by a Florida Supreme Court certified mediator appointed by the Court. The costs of the mediation will be paid by the lender and the total cost may not exceed $750. The plaintiff (lender) must have a representative who has full authority to settle at the mediation but they may appear by telephone or other electronic method. Read more

January NEFAR Market Statistics May Surprise You!

Sherry DavidsonIf you have been reading my market analysis for the last few months, you probably think you can skip this one because I have been saying the same thing over and over. Well this month brings a few surprises.

My first surprise is that closed sales for January 2010 were about 40% less than December 2009. There were 1,316 closings in November, 1,365 in December and 834 in January.

This looks like very negative news, but I believe the reason for the decline in closings was mainly due to short sales. We saw lenders approving and closing short sales in December to get them closed by year end. Maybe the holidays were also a factor, but we did not see any short sales making it through the process in January. Read more

Come out on February 23rd to Give Blood & Save Lives!

IMG_5307I don’t think we as a community understand how important giving blood is until someone close to us needs it. Most of us are scared of needles, don’t want to take our time to do it, or have never even thought about giving blood. In reality, it really doesn’t hurt, it takes 20 minutes out of your day and we all need to be aware that giving blood saves lives.

Many of you know that my dad had a liver transplant on June 23rd, 2008, but it would not have been possible without 32 donations of blood. If the blood products are not there when the organ shows up, the transplant will not happen. Can you imagine having the qualified surgeons, nurses, recipient, and the recipient’s whole family waiting at the hospital, but not enough blood to do it? Read more
