I'm a Tallahassee native....I love the thrill of the hunt when working with buyers....& I love the challenge of creatively marketing a home to sell it quickly for top dollar. If I could sum up my philosopy in two sentences:
1. It's all about my clients, not me
2. Honesty and integrity are most important
Call me for sincere advice on buying or selling in the Tallahassee area. - Amy
"I have never had an agent that followed up and went the extra steps before, during, and after the sale of the home. I would recommend Amy to anyone & everyone looking to buy or sell a home. No one will work harder for you than her. After buying my home, she is not just my agent, she is my friend.""

Iryna, first you will want to read up on short sales (just type it in your browser and you'll find multiple descriptions & information). Not all sellers or properties qualify. You'll also want to check with a real estate lawyer and accountant for accurate advice for your specific situation. Best of luck- thanks for the question! - Yesterday, 05:49
Melissa, I have found alot of owners are willing to do a short term or month to month if I call and just ask them. There are state taxes imposed, so the owners will take that into consideration, but it's a small price to pay for having their mortgage taken care of for a while. One of my favorite quotes: "Everyone is buying real estate, either for themselves or for their landlord" -Amy H. - Wed May 7 2008, 07:22
Great question, and a very popular one among buyers. Each State varies concerning laws on client representation....for instance in Florida we cannot practice dual agency. I have found that buyers feel more confident in having their own agent, although in Florida "we" are transaction brokers and work together in bringing buyers and sellers together for a win-win deal for both parties. Although agents feel they are strong negotiators, it is really up to the seller (individial or bank) to decide what they are willing to accept. Other areas do practice Dual Agency, and are bound by fiduciary duties and a strong code of ethics. The agent for the bank should be presenting all offers equally and without prejudice for their final decision. The only think I can think of is what we call a "variable commission" meaning that the agent agrees to a lesser commission if she brings the buyer vs another agent bringing the buyer. The bank will look more favorable at an offer that saves them money on their net, if all else is equal (price,terms). - Wed Apr 23 2008, 11:08
