Testimonials
"Working with Caroline was a wonderful experience. She was wiling to go the extra mile to really find me the home I was looking for. In my case, that meant taking a look at probably close to 20 apartments over 3 weekends. I was ready for her to just say "[forget] it, he can't make up his mind", but Caroline not only had the patience to show me different homes, but she really helped me hone in on the details to end up with a home I really like."

"We purchased a condominium in St Petersburg through Ms.Caroline York, Realtor. Actually we happened on this realtor quite by accident. My wife and I had discussed purchasing a condominium in downtown St. Petersburg for sometime, but never really made a serious effort. On reading the posted photo listings on the window of the real estate office while walking in the downtown area, I suggested we venture in and make some inquiries. My wife hesitantly followed suggesting that we select a realtor with great caution, not randomly walk in and be subject to ‘whomever’. A lovely woman – Ms. Caroline York, warmly greeted us both. I could say the rest is history but there is a few things one should know. We were so very fortunate to have met this wonderful person. She is honest, trustworthy and worked so hard to make certain we were successful in finding ‘our hearts desire’. The amount of work she did for us on the purchase of our condo was far above and beyond. We often kid her that she likely averaged 50 cents/hour when calculating the many hours of work she gave to our acquisition. I have absolutely no reluctance in recommending Ms. York for any real estate transactions."

"Caroline Thank you so much for helping me find a place in downtown St Petersburg. I really appreciate your kindness and hard work with my relocation process. If it was not for you I know I would still be in a hotel trying to figure out where to go. Once again thank you for everything and I would recommend that anyone moving to this area use you and you only. Thanks J Chris Johns Cristel Telecom (727) 939-9684 www.cristeltelecom.com"

Mike Hare, Other/Just Looking in Chelmsford, MA

What is the typical reduction off of list that houses are being purchased at? I had heard 12% is this correct

Asked Tue Mar 17 2009, 15:25 by Mike Hare  -  Home Buying in Sandwich  -  7 answers
Caroline York answered:
I once tried to figure that out and found that it was between $5000 and $12000 below asking price and didn't reflect the amount of asking price. My experience has shown that sellers have an amount in their head or that they must have for financial reasons that influences what I call the wiggle room more than any statistics I could find. Sorry my answer isn't very scientific or statistically oriented but I haven't found a typical seller in those terms yet. - Wed Mar 18 2009, 08:26
Tuta, Home Buyer in New Jersey

I’m currently under a contract and my bank did not approve my loan in the last minute,

Asked Wed Mar 18 2009, 07:51 by Tuta  -  Financing in 07002  -  4 answers
Caroline York answered:
Just because one lender turns you down does not mean that all lenders will. Howeve you must check the financial clause on your contract since often you have to get financing within a certain number of days from the effective date of your contract. Talk to your realtor, check the dates and if everything is okay then head to a lender and discuss other financial products that may meet your needs. Good luck. - Wed Mar 18 2009, 08:21

Kurtis, Home Buyer in Bellingham, WA

I want to sell my $300,000 dollar house thats paid for and buy 10 homes in Buffalo NY and paycash for them

Asked Fri Feb 6 2009, 08:54 by Kurtis  -  Home Buying in Buffalo State  -  5 answers
Caroline York answered:
Kurtis, Contact a professional realtor in Buffalo, NY and ask them to send you information. Be careful working with international investors. Information, research and professional support in teh area of purchase is crucial to the success of your endeavor. If you want to sell a home then contact a simlilar professional in the area of the home you wish to sell. Make sure they know the market and can provide documentation on why they are recommending the listing price. Today fair market value is sometimes disappointing but for someone interested in making an investment it may still be the pot of gold necessary for the future. Much success. - Wed Mar 18 2009, 08:15
Lucy Rangel, Home Buyer in Fate, TX

I am so ready to have a home for me and my children i just dont know if i should waite another year .

Asked Wed Mar 18 2009, 07:36 by Lucy Rangel  -  Home Buying in Fate  -  7 answers
Caroline York answered:
First get pre-qualified by a bank and find out if you are qualified for an FHA loan that you need only 3-1/2% down. Also if you are pre-qualified you know exactly what you can afford and a lender to work with that you are establishing a financial relationship with for now and the future. When you buy a home you want to do so with knowledge. You don't want to overpay for a home and if you wait another year you may not see the bargains that may be on the market for the next six months. Talk to a realtor who knows the real estate trends in your area. I specialize in downtown st Petersburg,FL and statistics vary just a few miles away. So get pre-qualified and work with a knowledgeable real estate professional and you will end up a happy home owner at the right time for you and your family. - Wed Mar 18 2009, 08:10
