RECENT REPORTS INDICATE THAT 60% OF PRESENT HOME SALES ARE      FROM CASH BUYERS, NOT MORTGAGES.  CLOSING COSTS ARE UP OVER 8.8 PERCENT FROM A YEAR AGO, MOST OF ADDITIONAL COST ATTRIBUTED TO LENDERS HAVING TO DO EXTRA WORK DUE TO INCREASED SCRUTINY  AND TIGHTER LENDING REGULATIONS.

THE FLORIDA DREAM MAY HAVE FLOUNDERED IN RECENT YEARS, BUT NEW CENSUS NUMBERS RELEASED  SHOWED THAT THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAS STILL EXPERIENCED SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH SINCE 2000 COMPARED WITH MOST OF THE NATION.  FOLLOWING A NATIONAL TREND THAT SAW AMERICAN MIGRATING TO WARMER STATES, FLORIDA'S POPULATION SWELLED BY 2.8 MILLION PEOPLE TO 18.8 MILLION.  THE STATE'S GROWTH RATE OF 17.6 PERCENT WAS AMONG THE MOST ROBUST IN THE NATION.  ONLY TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA ADDED MORE PEOPLE OVERALL DURING THE 10-YEAR PERIOD.  MICHIGAN WAS THE STATE TO LOSE POPULATION.


  KNOWLEDGE
As a dedicated real estate agent, I am qualified to guide you in buying or selling a home. I believe in using my skills in finance, contracts, negotiation and marketing to your best advantage. I sell for less, and as a former 12 year employee of Highland Lakes "I know Highland Lakes". I understand the present market, recent listings, and Neighborhood Home Sales, this assists both Buying and Selling.  I specialize in 55 Over Communities. I am on the Board of Directors for Pinellas Realtor Organization for the years 2010  and 2011. (PRO)

INTEGRITY
Buying or selling a home is one of the most important transactions in the lives of many people. Because of that, it is important that you work with someone you trust and feel is a market expert with integrity. People trust me with their most-valuable asset. It's a responsibility I take very seriously. I know that your success is my success. I would be happy to provide names of all my satisfied customers, and now friends.

 LOCAL EXPERTISE
I offer local expertise in a home market tailored to meet your needs. As a local professional, I know the neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, zoning regulations and local economy. I will do the leg work, keeping you up-to-date with new listings and conditions as they impact the market. I will make the process as pleasurable and stress-free an experience for you as I can. I primarily specialize in 55 Over Communties. As the former Postmaster of Tarpon Springs, Fl. I have the local expertise required to assist you, both Buying or Selling a Home. I know both Pinellas and Pasco Counties.  Short Sales are used when a bank or mortgage lender agrees to discount a loan balance due to an economic hardship on the part of the owner.  The homeowner sells the mortgaged property for less than the outstanding balance on the present loan, and turns over the proceeds of the sale to the lender in full satisfaction of the debt. My son Matthew M. Carlo is a Charles Rutenberg Associate covering the Hillsborough County area.

SUCCESS
I don't measure my success through awards received or achievements, but through the satisfaction of my clients. Whether you are looking to buy or sell your home, I will provide sound and trustworthy advice to help you achieve your real estate goals. Most of my business comes from referrals and/or repeat customers.

Let me guide you through the complexities of buying or selling your home, eliminating hassles and stress. I look forward to working with you. I can work with you on your home repairs, improvements, staging your home, downsizing your personal effects, packing, moving or anything needed to ensure a less stress ful transition, either as the seller or buyer.

CALL OR EMAIL ME FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND/OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
