Clearwater Real Estate Agent explains Save our Homes

Save our Homes explained by Cyndee Haydon, Realtor ~ Clearwater, Florida

clearwater beach florida waterfront real estate 

When working with First-time home buyers and families moving and relocating to Clearwater, Clearwater Beach and the Tampa Bay area they usually have lots of questions about how Save or Homes and local property taxes works. Here's some info I hope you'll find helpful...

Back in January 1995 the Florida Constitution was amended to create a cap on rising property values which are used to calculate our Florida property taxes on homes and condos. This amendment now limits annual increases of the assessed property value to 3% or to the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower.  It's important to note that this cap is applied ONLY to the property value - not the property taxes. Property taxes could actually rise more than 3% depending on your city or towns approved budget.

When a property such as a home or condo is sold any existing property value cap and exemption are removed at the end of that calendar year. Then the property taxes are calculated on the full market value called Just Market Value. ..So, if a property owner applies for and receives Homestead Exemption for 2007, the Assessed Value will be capped in 2008. The Biggest Mistake we see Home and condo Buyers make is...

MemeII - Cyndee Haydon tells all....

 

cyndee haydon in clearwater floridaInquiring minds asked so here it is.......................

The irony is that I was MeMe'd in March when I was first here and did a meme which I totally messed up because I actually posted to the group rather than on my blog for the group - that blonde hair will get you in trouble all the time. So please Check out:  I was challenged to tell more about Me! Me!- so here goes...

So interestingly enough 3 of my new friends - Ashley Drake & Peggy Edwards, Thesa Chambers, nominated me to tell more about myself so here goes, Part II - 5 more things....

I would like to pass the meme on to Susie Roscoe, Katrina Madewell and Mana Tulberg:

 

 

1) We started homeschooling our two boys this last September - I must say Jack does most the heavy lifting- I'm the field trip / substitute teacher when his work calls him away :-).  

2) I was offered a scholarship to college for softball. I played growing up and played pitcher and right field. Learned the meaning of teamwork being both the "focal point" as pitcher and the "weaker link" in right field - doing what the team needs.   

3) I love the water - and have been swimming since I was 2 years old. I swam competitively through HS too.  I love the beach and the beach lifestyle.cyndee haydon on clearwater beach florida Flat Mark Flanders can vouch for that! I love the beach, the beach and did I say the beach - oh yeah, and throw in beach sunsets too.  

joes crab shack in clearwater florida4) I enjoy red wine and dream of touring California Vineyards or France at sometime (kid-free) - so looking forward to visiting my friends in that area :-)   For now I'll have to enjoy a glass at all my  favorite local restaurants.

5) We enjoy camping and getting away from it all and are lucky to live in an area with lots of great places to get away too within a days drive.  clearwater beach floridaFt DeSoto is our favorite spot!      welcome clearwater beach florida

What Makes a House a Home in Clearwater, Florida

Clearwater, Florida ~ Someone asked me recently, "What makes a house a home?"  - Having an analytical side, I decided to research how the dictionary defines "house" and "home"....  

Official Definition of Clearwater, Florida House and Home:

Checking on-line The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary says a House is,"a building that serves as living quarters for one or a few families" and a Home is, "one's place of residence".   While that may be factually correct, it just felt flat for me - like it missed the real essence of the question. So I put on my Realtor Hat ....  

Clearwater Realtor's Definition of House and Home:

luxury home clearwater florida Now Being a full-time real estate agent in Clearwater, Florida, my business and my passion, is all about houses. With this being said I thought should be able to easily answer this question, right? Jack and work everyday with individuals and families to help them find their dream home so when asked, "What makes a House a Home?, I was first tempted to rattle off desirable house features like: 

  • it's located near good schools;  
  • it has a large yard;
  • it an open floor plan;
  • it's located in a desirable neighborhood;
  • it on a quiet, safe street or
  • it will have great resale value.

I realize that was the Clearwater Florida Real Estate agent in me thinking more about the long-term financial return on the purchase of a house - but it missed the boat on how a house becomes a home! I realized the question really asked was how does a house you buy in Clearwater or your home town begin to feel like YOUR Home!          

My Heart tells Me People Make a House a Home in Clearwater or Anywhere:

clearwater florida home with family I am the oldest of three children. My parents came to Florida from Guatemala to go to college and start their married life. Today is my Mother's birthday (Happy Birthday!) and I'd like to dedicate this article to her and all she taught me about creating a "home".  

We moved almost every 2 years when I was growing up because my Dad was always working to provide us with a better life and as a mechanical engineer his work took us to different locations around the country. I shared this with you because by moving so much I learned that a house is a building but a home is where you make it!(maybe this is why we love working with families relocating - I know relocations :-))

For me I've learned it's less about the building and more about the people I share it with and the feelings I have when I'm "home"! I even moved before I began my senior year in high school. In my experience I found it's in all the little pleasures in my life and sharing them with those I love and who love me back...

 

 

A porch or dining area to gather and celebrate special days or just share the days events;

home with porch in Clearwater, Florida

 

A safe place - a yard or space to run, romp and play; 

clearwater florida pool homes

A place to catch fireflies and show them to your Grandparents;

back yard of home in clearwater florida

backyard of home in clearwater florida 

 

 

 

 

So in the final analysis for me - I would define a house as a building, a shelter or a dwelling that becomes a home when people fill it with love and memories.    

 

It's that special place where we live, we laugh and we love - and are loved back!

clearwater florida home to family

On a final note, the first new home Jack and I ever bought (20 years ago) was a beautiful 3500 sq ft model home and 6 months after we moved in we had a house fire on Christmas day and lost everything (all photos, clothes, all material possessions) - isn't it funny how I just realized that we call them "house fires"  - not "home fires" because while we lost the building and it's contents - we were all safe, we still had our family, we will always have our memories and we had our home in our hearts - until our house could be rebuilt.  

We've enjoyed living and working the past 16 years in the Clearwater and Tampa Bay area of Florida area and this helps me keep things in perspective this time every year when we hit "hurricane season" here in Clearwater, Florida. I know buildings can come and go but as long as we're safe and together we'll never be "home-less" because the rest can be rebuilt.

I'm curious, what makes a house a home for YOU? 


So coming full circle, I think a house is a "noun" and a home is an "action verb"...For me it's, Living, laughing, running, playing, sharing, caring - people are the necessary ingredient in making a house a home.

So if you or someone you know is thinking of buying a home in the Clearwater and Tampa Bay Florida area - we hope you'll be comfortable referring them to us because you know that we are never focused on selling a particular house - we're here to help you find your dream home.

Online and Going out of Business in Clearwater, Florida...

 

 stack of identical blue jeans

Online Real Estate Services  

Ever heard, "What commission do you charge? What's your rate?.... Are you more than your rate or commission? 

I wrote an article last week asking Do Home Buyers Get Full Service or is it Pump it Yourself?   

It generated a lot of thoughtful responses and one by Steven L. Smith inspired this post. Steven talks about how everyone he knows now books their travel online - ergo the demise of the brick and mortar travel agency.

It got me to thinking about various Real Estate & Mortgage industry models and how they are changing before out eyes.  Blogging, IDX - MLS; home value estimators online, daily email updates, online mortgage applications etc. There's no denying it's changing - but will it good for me or put me out of business? 

Clearwater, Florida Home Buyers

I was out with some homebuyers today. We had been looking at houses when they first relocated to Clearwater a year ago. They weren't ready to buy then because of their job changes and the shock of what houses were selling for so they decided to wait. With the change in the market they realized now is a great time to buy and get the most home for their money, especially since they're looking to live in their home for the long haul.

So, for the good side of technology - we've been able to send them daily updates of everything on the market for the last year so when they were ready to buy they called us to say "let's go" - because on the human side - when they looked last year they saw what advocates we were for them:

  • Running real property value analysis,
  • Giving them the advice we'd give our own family
  • They knew that we weren't about "just selling a house" - we were focused on helping them find "their dream home"
  • We've stayed in touch with monthly personal newsletters, etc.
  • and there was NEVER any pressure from us - we knew we'd be here when the time was right!       

So when we started talking about making an offer I verified that their mortgage prequal was ready to go. I had referred them to a good local lender last year but he hadn't stayed in touch with them. I was shocked when they told me they had gotten approved from @ending tree online.  They have a credit score of over 800, have 15% to put down and the house they're interested in is in their price range. By all accounts a mortgage brokers dream client. 

Now my experience is that many of my clients have been quoted teaser rates and costs for these Online Mortgage companies only to find out they are significantly more at closing. I suggested they might want to get another quote from a local mortgage lender and Active Rain member we've had great experiences with, Leah Ross.

Leah has helped many of our clients, from first time homebuyers to luxury home buyers. She approaches mortgages the way we do real estate - as a consultant and advocate. We always get rave reviews from our clients that work with her. They feel they get great value from working with her.

However, it's a real reminder that we all have to be aware of what value we're giving. I am seeing more and more buyers calling "online lenders" first - thinking all mortgage services are the same and it's all about "rate". Unfortunately there's so much more to mortgages than "Rates" and so much more to real estate than, "What commission do you charge?"  

I realized, like Steven pointed out in his comments, when consumer's perception of value changes - the market place changes too- but not necessarily for the best for consumers or for traditional businesses. 

Most potential clients don't realize the integrated complexities of a real estate transaction. The fact that over 48 people from 7 industries will be involved - which means problems happen - you NEED an experienced pro at the helm.

Home buyers and sellers don't understand:

  • That when mistakes are made in real estate transactions they can be extremely costly to them.
  • They don't realize that in Florida you can sue for up to 5 years after the real estate transaction - and that For Sale By Owners in Pinellas county have to follow the same statutes as realtors and locally we've seen them be successfully sued.
  • They don't know that the right home inspector can save you thousands in home repairs and problems.
  • This is just the tip of the iceberg but I say rather than be on the defensive with companies like @edfin, @illow, @ending tree - we need to be on the offensive - always articulating and showing are value.    

Consider - if the stack of blue jeans in the picture above was your and your real estate or mortgage competition - could potential clients pick you out?  When they can't, then experience shows you're viewed as a commodity and commodities are chosen based on PRICE so then the only question customers ask is:

  1. "What's your rate?" or
  2. "What commission to you charge?" 

So, now that we're online - will it help us add more value and free us up for more time with our clients or will it ultimately put us out of business?
