Steven P Wood

I have been a Real Estate Agent in Virginia Beach, Virginia for 3 years in the past. I have been a Real Estate Investor for the last 5 years without being a Licensed Real Estate Agent. I know a lot about buying and selling homes, stopping foreclosures in a non-judicial foreclosure state, forbearance agreements, reinstating loans, short sales, dealing with the Loss Mitigation Department at Mortgage Companies/Banks, equity sharing, contracts for deeds, dealing with people in financial harships as well as people living the good-life.

I have invested in Residential (Single Family, Townhomes, and Condos), Multi-Family, and Commercial Properties. I know about Hard Money Loans, Bridge Loans, and how to work with Mortgage Lenders and can apply my knowledge to helping others with normal and creative financing.

I am a believer in holding Open Houses and creating flyers and other marketing tools to help sell homes. As an Investor, I have sold many of the homes, that I rehabbed, by myself, without the help of Real Estate Agents. When the market got tough, I enlisted the help of Real Estate agents.

I go out and view homes in the Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Juno Beach, and Tequesta areas to become familiar with Inventory in order to help Buyers find what they are looking for in the least amount of time.

I am attentive, usually on time, and diligent. I return phone calls and listen to what people want. I used to be an ace computer programmer working on real-time applications and can handle tough and complex situations. I pay attention to the smallest of details.

I am Internet Savvy and am well versed in creating SQL Searches into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for customers looking to buy homes. I have signed up with the House Values/Just Listed Company, Point 2 Agent, and now Trulia to find new customers to help and when time permits, I will be fully integrated with most of the Real Estate Internet Sites!

I am honest. I am a member of The Board of Realtors (I am governed by a Strict Code of Ethics), and I am Licensed to sell real estate in Florida (governed by the State). I do not like to sugar-coat things. I am happiest when I have made a customer happy in achieving what they want or need.

I am currently relocating BACK to Florida and have been practicing Real Estate Sales and Rentals in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Juno Beach, and Tequesta since March 2007. My office is located RIGHT NEXT TO MY PHONE!

I believe in building Relationships where Clients trust me and want me to help them. I do not want to restrict Buyers with a Buyer's Brokerage Agreement, and my only request from my Buyer Clients is to honor that I am in business as a Real Estate Sales Agent and that I am only paid on commissions and that I only get commissions once the Buyer is happy and has obtained what they were looking for. I request from my Seller Clients a full understanding of what the market is doing and to respect the market such that if they want to sell their home (in this market) that they have to be in front of the negative curve and to be in front of the curve with the nicest home.
