We talk restrictive covenants in Florida. Restrictive covenants , once agreed between the parties, are placed in the title deeds to the property. They bind the land and not the parties personally. In other words, the restrictive covenant ' runs with the land '. And although in some cases, you may not pay a home owner's association fee, you will still have to obey the covenants and restrictions. Some examples of covenant and restrictions are: Square footage Fencing Landscaping Cars in driveway Tr...

A man in Fort Meyers, Florida put a black silhouette sticker on his garage that represented his time in Vietnam. Although it’s not about the content of what he put on his garage, the HOA has standards that specifically state that homeowners in that neighborhood cannot alter their garage, but he did it anyway. They asked him to remove the sticker, otherwise he would be fined. The way to avoid this is to READ the HOA contract when you buy your home. Read and understand the rules in place. If you w...

My 93-year-old mother in law is going to be moving in with my husband and me. When someone is too old to care for themselves, and they need to be taken care of, it’s difficult to decide where they should go. There’s plenty of options, from nursing homes, to assisted living, to hospice, to living in with a family member. Most people don’t realize how much of a financial burden that care-taking can be. Assisted living and nursing homes are not the cheapest route, but how do you prepare your home f...

My mother in law was recently put into Hospice care , a process that can be unfortunate, but a learning curve for all. Although it can be a hard thing for the entire family to experience, we have all been brought together through this process and it has been a pleasure getting to spend more time with her. For our newest listing, 2520 Golden Rod Way, we have partnered with Pyramid Studios , an art studio that helps disabled artists get their work out to the community. We asked to borrow some of t...

Why isn’t rent to own something that works? When you sign a lease, you’re paying rent to a landlord while simultaneously putting wear and tear on the house. If you “rent to own”, you’re losing money as a seller. You’re losing the opportunity to sell the home at market price. Renting to own is not an option, it’s not a thing people do. You can rent, and you can own. But doing one to the other in the same property is too much for anyone to handle, especially the realtor. They are first signing a l...

I was trying to replace the floors in my bathroom and had plentiful issues with the contractor laying the floor. After a lot of back and forth chatter, I had to stay in a hotel to avoid the angst in the house. After this situation, I’ve realized the importance of researching the companies to a high degree before you decide to let them into your home. Your home is your sanctuary and you should be able to live in it without interruption. I had someone ask me recently, “how can I break a lease due ...

Today, buyers are more knowledgeable than ever. Buyers are scared to take on repairs that are the seller’s fault because there could be more repairs needed than meets the eye, the cost can get out of hand extremely quick. So, as they become more knowledgeable, they become more wary of the homes they view due to potential repairs. The home you buy needs to function for your purpose, if it doesn’t, it won’t be worth the investment. As a Realtor® my job is to rule out the homes that DON’T function ...

HUD testers are people who test for discrimination in the housing market. If a HUD tester were to think you were discriminating against a certain community, you can be summoned to court and you will be asked to testify. If I put an ad out for a house, I cannot just give a blanket statement like “no felonies.” In order to not be put on trial for discrimination, I must clarify “no felonies for ____ years.” The reason we try and avoid felons buying or renting our properties is because history is a ...

Recently, local defense attorney Annabelle Dias caught a serious blip in her contract for a new home she was buying, which included some off-putting addendums about minorities. She terminated the contract and brought it to the attention of the public. HOA’s and COA’s are two different things – Home Owners Associations govern your life and what you d...

Air conditioning is an essential in the Florida heat. Most homes have central heating and air, but people often don’t take proper care of it. They find it expensive to get it gutted and cleaned or changing out the air filter in the appropriate time frames. Changing the filter is actually a good way to get into your rental properties as a property manager, if you need to check up on your rental. Archie Chamber, HVAC licensed repair man with E&B heating & air in Tallahassee, suggests that ...
