Referrals from You Are Special!

in

We’d like to take a moment to tell you how much we value referrals from you.

As real estate salespeople, we live for the joy and sense of accomplishment we feel when our client – a buyer or a seller – achieves his or her goal! The moment a buyer takes her keys… The excitement in the eyes of the sellers right after closing… This is our “why.”

When the person we have helped is a referral from someone in our sphere, that joy and accomplishment are truly magnified!

Please know that, when you send someone you care about to us, they will be well taken care of. Our combined years of experience in real estate – paired with our keen abilities to navigate each step of the buying or selling process expertly – will serve your loved one well.

For this reason, we ask you to think of us if someone you know mentions they may need to buy, sell, or rent in Palm Beach County. And, please give us a “heads up” when you refer someone to us, so we can thank you! We promise to deliver the white glove service we’ve come to be known for, and to leverage all of our knowledge and expertise to help your loved ones reach their goals.

If someone you know is interested in buying – now or in the future – they can search listings here – and start to get familiarized with the buying process and the market.

If selling is the goal – or if your referral is just curious about what their home is worth today – they can request a no-obligation home value assessment here.

Or, contact us at (561) 571-2289 – or via amyandnoreen@allaboutfloridahomes.com – We are here to help!

What is Title Insurance – and Why Do You Need It?

in ,

Did you know that Amy Snook, one of our team’s leaders, is a licensed title agent?

Amy has more than 15 years of experience in the title business. So, she is uniquely poised to help our buyers and sellers navigate the closing process, and everything that leads up to this critical piece of the puzzle!

But, if you still don’t really “get” title insurance, what it is, and why you may need it… here’s a quick rundown for you:

Title insurance is a one time purchase. Factors like your contract, the county you are in and its norms will help determine who pays for it. It’s a fee you will see on the final closing statement.

It’s is an insurance (like the name says!). This policy is for life, and it insures that the people who are selling the home are legally able to sell you the home – that all mortgages, liens, judgements, encumbrances  that are attached to the property – are all paid off.

Why does this matter? It gives you the peace of mind that you legally have the right to own and enjoy that home, and that no one will come knocking one day and tell you you don’t!

Buyers sometimes ask “Do I have to have it?

… Do you legally have to have title insurance? The answer is no.. But as Realtors, we would never be involved in a transaction that doesn’t include it. Because, for the small one-time cost, you have peace of mind for life.

If you still have questions about title insurance, feel free to message us at amyandnoreen@allaboutfloridahomes.com or call us at (561) 571-2289.
