- Ep. 65 - Happy New Year A/K/A Let’s get back to work!
On today’s episode of the Real Estate Finder Podcast, Matthew Maschler and Staci Garcia are joined by awesome Signature Real Estate Finder agent Jill Glanzer.
It’s a new year and a perfect time to adjust your sails and start fresh. We discuss several transactions we have been working on over the holidays. Real estate agents have no set hours and often work weekends and holiday because that’s the only time the buyer has available, or it’s convenient because the seller is away.
And if you have closings scheduled for early January, say good bye to your vacation time. It can be frustrating because you have some parties and businesses open and trying to work and finding an essential party or service is out of town. And bank holidays can make scheduling wire transfers difficult.
So plan ahead when you set your closings for mid-December 2023 and January 2024. Maybe we should make a rule: No closings scheduled for the first week of January :)
We also talk about being a good neighbor.
Do you know your neighbors? It makes daily life a completely different experience if you and your neighbors get along.
We have a closing this week in Whitehall. There are properties for sale in that building and also two condos for sale in Pompano Beach, first floor on the water, with adjoining doors if you have a best friend or relative who you want to live next door to. It’s a great idea for seniors who feel nervous about making new friends.

48 min - Ep. 64 - Furnished or Unfurnished?On today’s Real Estate Finder Podcast, Matthew Maschler and and Jill Glanzer talk about what to do when the Buyer and Seller want to make a side deal for the furniture. Real property is land and anything built on it, or fixed to it. Personal property is the rest of your stuff. Televisions, Tables, Chairs, Art. Generally, the real estate contract covers the "real property." It can include some “personal property” but when there is a significant amount of “personal property” often a separate agreement can be made, and the price of that property would not be included in the contract price or the recording price. There are many reasons why a Buyer or Seller would want to keep the "personal property” separate and we discuss some of them. We also discuss ways to do it, whether it should be included on the closing statement and how to protect the customer.

On today’s Real Estate Finder Podcast, Matthew Maschler and and Jill Glanzer talk about LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACTS.
A contract is a legally enforceable exchange of promises. When a Buyer makes an offer on a property, once signed by the Seller a Contract is formed. That Contract is legally enforceable. Unless a provision allows for cancellation (like the inspection period) the Contract is binding. Can a Seller just cancel the contract? And what do you do if he tries?
Let’s talk about it on the Real Estate Finder Podcast!

31 min - Ep. 62 - The 40-year Listing AgreementHave you ever heard of a 40-year Listing Agreement? The concept is the brokerage firm GIVES cash money to a home owner, in exchange for a 40-year Listing Agreement. Also, please remember the pen is mightier than the sword. And having the pen is powerful. You never want to give the pen away in a real estate deal. Always Write the Offer! Always keep control over signing an offer. A Real Estate career is a rollercoaster: One day it’s awesome and the next day it’s a disaster. When it’s good, it’s great! When it’s bad, it’s miserable. So what can real estate agents do to navigate the ups and downs? Give us your thoughts on how to make the ride more manageable. If you don’t have an offer signed by both buyer and seller IN YOUR HANDS, do you have an executed contract? Listen to today’s episode to find out the details!!

51 min - Ep. 61 - Bizarre Country Club Rules, Requests For Furniture and Required Addendums
On today’s Real Estate Finder Podcast, Matthew and Staci are joined once again by Jill Glanzer. We discuss a variety of real estate topics that came up this week, including bizarre country club rules, requests for furniture and required addendums.
It might not be happening as much as last year, but multiple offer situations still exist. When making an offer and time is a major factor, getting the offer to the listing agent quickly might take precedence over a few other things like an inventory list of included furniture.
Little known fact outside a country club: Not all golf carts are the same. Every country club has different rules regarding golf carts. Do your homework when showing or selling country club properties because these thing tend to come back later with fines and miscommunication costs money.
We are constantly asked about the state of the real estate market by both Buyers and Sellers. Supply and demand as always sets the market. The year ends with more supply and inventory is available. Yet, sellers aren’t lowering their prices as quickly as they did in cooler markets. Last year, buyers were all competing for limited properties to buy. This year, buyers have more options and can slow their roll, see a property more than once and ask questions.
What year did you start texting? We are dating ourselves on today’s podcast by chatting about our Blackberries. Fifty is the new 30.
Send us your real estate questions. We love to answer them on the show As always, if you are looking to buy or sell in Boca Raton or South Florida or anywhere in Florida, contact us. You don’t know what you don’t know until you work with us.

43 min - Ep. 60 - How Do You Negotiate Multiple Offers When you Represent One of the Buyers?
A multiple offer situation can be stressful. During Covid, almost every sale was a multiple offer situation and although the speed was stressful, it went quickly.
Today, multiple offer situations still happen but the urgency or race against the clock seems to be a thing of the past. We can contact all agents and ask for an offer (if they are submitting) so their buyer doesn’t get left out.

31 min - Ep. 59 - What is FIRPTA (Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act)
Staci and Matthew talk about FIRPTA, the Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act.
What is FIRPTA? It is the withholding of a percentage of the sales price when the Seller is a non-Us person.
Why? So the IRS can get paid.
Matthew talks about some real estate deals he has done where this withholding is triggered.
And we are joined by Attorneys Greg Gefen and Benjamin Werber via Youtube.
FIRPTA: Sounds funny, but it won’t be funny if 15% is taken from the seller at closing.
Have questions about FIRPTA? Have a seller who is a foreign national? You MUST listen to today’s podcast!

30 min - Ep. 58 - SARAH can answer any question and provides help and guidance to the agents of the Signature Real Estate Companies.
Staci is not here so I am doing this episode with SARAH. SARAH is not a person, she is an acronym for Signature Agent Resource and Help. Agents of the Signature Real Estate Companies simply need to contact Sarah and the team of managers will assist.
They can contact Sarah by telephone and zoom room during business hours, on her website www.ContactSarah.com or by email 24 Hours a Day.Some questions are fantastic, and I love to answer the really complicated ones. They make me a better agent. Some questions just make you wonder.
On this episode I discuss some best practices for using this valuable tool. I also touch on the role of the title agent, that they can act in several different roles, so better to say Escrow Agent or Closing Agent.So to all of my agents, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. We are here for you. We don’t want you to suffer alone.
And if you want to join us at Signature, just let me know!!!!

21 min - Ep. 57 - It’s November and that means two things: Real Estate Taxes and Election Day
We talk about both. We also clarify the difference between the "Escrow Agent” and the "Closing Agent.” The only thing more confusing is that the Buyer’s Agent is also known as the Selling Agent! Matt also wants to address the Realtor’s role in the pre-closing Walkthrough.
On today’s episode, we discuss politics for about 25 minutes. Is that 25 minutes too much? If you’re voting in Palm Beach County, Florida, take a seat and tune in. If you’re voting elsewhere, you might find our chat interesting. If you don’t vote, what’s wrong with you!?
There’s a few words and terms in real estate that often trip up agents. We start with the difference between the Escrow agent on the offer and the Closing Agent. Please listen to the differences and make sure your offers reflect the appropriate escrow agent.
Another confusion term is Selling Agent. The Selling Agent is the Buyer’s Agent who sold the property to the buyer. The Listing Agent lists the property for sale and represents the Seller.
The Walkthrough is a time when the buyer makes sure the property is how it was when they last saw it, it’s not a time for negotiation.
And like a Marvel super hero movie, there is a little something extra after the credits, so stick around after the closing music for a mastermind session on the Real Estate Finder Monthly Newsletter and a surprise guest cameo!
