Hi Cher. You didn't mention your price range or other criteria but you may want to check out Southfork Estates and Lake Tuscany in Stuart. - Wed Jun 24 2009, 06:39

Here on South Florida's Treasure Coast buyers are snapping up foreclosures. Multiple offers are being placed on better homes. That said, if you find a house you like, put in your best offer as you may not get get a second chance, especially if you go in with 50% less than asking price. - Fri Feb 27 2009, 17:59

It is a buyers market in the Jensen Beach area and likely to remain so for the forseeable future. I have presented offers over 30% below asking price (especially in short sale and relo situations). Your offer may be rejected, but a motivated seller will counter and engage in negotiations with a serious buyer who has cash or access to financing. - Wed Oct 22 2008, 04:41

I would attend the pre drywall meeting with my client. I would also arrange to visit the site periodically during the project with a licensed general contractor/home inspector (at the client's expense). This helps to ensure good workmanship and that options and upgrades are installed as ordered. - Mon Oct 20 2008, 18:10

Getting your property "rent-ready" is essential to success in maximizing your rental income and finding a quality tenant in the shortest time possible. When it comes to renting your home, you should consider the following:

When leasing a property you only get one chance to make a good first impression. It is essential that the home look as good as possible before marketing of the rental begins.

In preparing your property for rent, inspect the home and note any repairs that may be needed. This includes appliances, plumbing and A/C systems, which must be up to code and in good working order. Broken windows, doors, cabinets and fixtures should also be repaired or replaced. Next you will want a fresh coat of paint followed by a thorough cleaning including floors and rugs.

Curb appeal is as important in a rental as a sale, so make sure the lawn is cut, shrubs trimmed and outside repairs completed. Patios, sidewalks and driveways should be power washed and the roof inspected by a professional roofer.

Getting your rental property "rent-ready" will ensure you procure the best tenant, for the most rent in the least amount of time! - Mon Oct 20 2008, 17:37
