10 Ways to Get a Better Appraisal

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:18:23 -0500

Appraisals are an important part of the process in purchasing or selling a home. More than ever, the appraiser has the power to determine whether or not a sale goes to the closing table.

As if it were not difficult enough to value some homes in today's real estate environment where often there are no comparable sales in the last year or more, the government swoops in to 'correct' the abuses in the appraisal system, and the consequences of HVCC are that appraisers are traveling a long distance sometimes and are doing more work for less pay. Even if an appraiser has local knowledge, they may or may not do a thorough investigation of the comparable properties and they may choose to use Comparable Sales that are not ideal.

It is imperative that a real estate agent meet the appraiser when one of their listings has sold. This is not to try to influence the appraiser in any illegal way, but to give them the best information, so that the appraiser can value the property accurately. An added bonus is the information you will learn from the appraiser if you ask questions.

10 Ways to Get a Better Appraisal

1. Meet the appraiser at the house. Take the lockbox off the door after you get a contract so an appointment will have to be made.

2. Give the Appraiser as many Comparable Sales as you have for the subject property. If it's a property where there are few or no comparable sales, go out in a radius search until you find some. Go back as far as a year or even more if it's a special type property (waterfront, for example). Realize that the appraiser may deduct value if the sale is further than 3 months out.

3. Call the agents for the Comparable sales to get as much information as possible for the appraiser. The house that sold down the street that needed a new roof - they need to know that, but it's probably not in the MLS information.

4. Give a complete list of every upgrade and improvement that has been performed during the seller's ownership. Be sure to include maintenance items as well as cosmetic upgrades. There is a category for "condition" on appraisals and although it won't match dollar for dollar, it will be mentioned.

5. Be sure to note when flooring is "hardwood" instead of "wood" or "laminate." Be specific about other surfaces (granite vs. corian) and improvements. A glazed 42" raised panel cabinet with full coverage costs most than Level 1 42" cabinets. Thermador appliances are more valuable than GE Profile, for instance, and an appraiser's quick trip through the house may not take in such details.

6. Give them a copy of your Marketing materials, including the beautiful photos you have of the interior, exterior and grounds.

7. Be sure to note anything about the lot - the Preserve not only on the side but across the street, for instance. Note the size of our lot vs. any comparable sales (if it's to your advantage).

8. Local appraisers probably know the Community amenities, but it never hurts to also give a list of those as well.

9. If there are communities nearby that are not really good comparables, a map with some notes about the lack of amenities, production starter homes vs. your community with custom homes on estate lots, etc., can be very helpful to someone from out of the area.

10. Be gracious, not pushy. Even if the appraiser is from 100 miles away, respect and helpfulness will go much further than a condescending, "You drove all the way from there?" attitude.

If you make the effort to be sure the appraiser is well educated about your listing, you have a much better chance of the house appraising and the sale going through. Appraisers' work hasn't lessened but many times their fees have been cut in half or more. Anything we can do to help is in the Sellers', Buyers', ours, and the community's best interest.

Happy Selling!

Pace Island - Gated Community (Fleming Island Florida)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:28:46 -0600

Pace Island is a guard-gated naturally beautiful community on Fleming Island Florida. It is one of eight communities in Florida to win the coveted "Florida Quality Development" award. It was the first to win this award, and the only community in Northeast Florida to ever win this award.

The land which Pace Island sits on was purchased by John and Gussie Pace in 1949, when it was known as Geiger Point. For years it was their family home place and they dug lakes, canals, built roads and bridges, and cultivated many plants and trees. Developers gave them a price they couldn't refuse in 1984, and the development of Pace Island as a community was begun. You can read about the history of Pace Island here. For Orange Park residents, Pace Island was considered 'way out,' even though it was just over the Doctor's Lake Bridge. Now it's considered 'close in' on Fleming Island with the newer communities down the road.

The Moccasin Slough Wildlife Refuge was part of the original purchase of John Pace. Today, the Slough adjoins Pace Island affording a continuous natural setting for residents and guests. There are still many forms of wildlife to be observed and enjoyed.

There are 685 homes in Pace Island, developed as twenty-one units in four distinct neighborhoods. The first neighborhood, Pace Cove, is near the entrance on the right, and has smaller homes with an average 70'x120' lot. To the left is the Pace Highlands, where lots average 85'-100'x120'. Further down on the left is the Pace Vinings, with similar lot sizes as the Highlands.

Driving down a winding road through the conservation areas, you will come to the Pace Gardens. Turn right or left on Salt Myrtle, and you will wind around a large circle with homes on a lagoon and homes on navigable Doctor's Lake. Lot sizes start at 100' and range from 150' to over 225' deep. Turn right on Pace Island Trace, and you will see the Park with sports fields, swimming pool, pavilion, and nature walk to the community dock.

Home prices range from the high $100,000s to over $1,500,000. Home sizes range from around 1700 sq. ft. to around 6,000 sq. ft.

Amenities for Pace Island include:

2 Swimming Pool Areas - Front Pool is an Olympic-sized competition pool and has a Clubhouse, kiddie pool, tennis courts and playground.

Back Pool in the Pace Gardens area where there are soccer and baseball field, playground, and a nature walk to the Pavilion and Day Dock on Doctor's Lake.

The Black Creek Trail Bicycle Path runs along the outside of the community and bikers can hop on and ride town to the Trail. There are also lighted basketball courts.

Pace Island has lots to do for children and adults: The Pirhanas Swim Team, Tennis Team, Bunco, Bridge, Aerobics, Holiday parties and other activities.

Pace Island borders the Moccasin Slough wildlife refuge and there are trails running through it that may be accessed within the community.

Residents enjoy a very active social life and the Hibiscus newsletter keeps Pace Islanders informed of local events and news. Copies are available in the newsstand container just outside the guard gate on your way out of the community.

If living in a gated community where the natural beauty has been preserved appeals to you, then get in touch with us and we will be glad to help!

Orange Park Florida - One of Florida's Best Places to Live

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:46:18 -0600

Orange Park Florida is located in Clay County, 20 miles south of Downtown Jacksonville and about a mile south of the Jacksonville Naval Air Station. It is bordered on the east by the St. Johns River.

Orange Park includes the Town of Orange Park and parts of unincorporated Clay County and covers zip codes 32073 and 32065. The Town is 5.6 square miles, which includes 1.6 square miles of water. Fleming Island (32003),over the Doctor's Lake bridge, was considered part of Orange Park until 2008.

Orange Park was one of four Florida towns named in Sperling's top 100 Best Places to Raise Your Family. Orange Park was also noted for: Best for Just Plain Fun, Best for Water Sports, Best for Beach Lovers, and Best Warm-All-Winter Places.

Jax Beach is about 35 minutes away, St. Augustine is 40 minutes, and Orlando is 2 hours away. Gainesville is a little over an hour away. Go Gators!

With over 226 sunny days, Orange Park FL is a perfect location for outdoors lovers, with 82 days of 90+ degrees weather and only about 12 days at/near freezing. When we have a freeze, it is only for a few hours and when the weather is chilly, in a few days it will be warm again. It can be 80 degrees any day in Orange Park, so we never put away our summer clothes.

As of 2006, 33% of all households were families with children. The median household income according to the 2000 census was $56,350, Clay County median household income was $66,288. In the Town of Orange Park, the population was 9,081, households with families were 68.9%, and average age was 43 years.

Orange Park was founded in 1877 by the Florida Winter Home and Improvement Company. In 1930, Yale University and Robert Yerkes opened the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center on Kingsley Avenue. The Research Center was relocated to Emory University in 1965. Locals called it "The Monkey Farm" and most people really knew nothing about the type of research being done.

There is no defined 'downtown area' but there are shopping and business along Kingsley Avenue which runs from Blanding Blvd. to US Highway 17. The Orange Park Mall is a Regional Mall located on Blanding Blvd. at Wells Road. The movie theatre is one of the top grossing theatres in America. Wells Road is 'Restaurant Row' for Orange Park.

Shopping and businesses also run along Highway 17, but it is far more consumer and tree friendly thanks to the "Tree Ladies" of the 1960s who kept the tree-lined streets of the Town of Orange Park and drove the urban sprawl over to Blanding. They also successfully blocked large commercial signage for many years. There are still sign ordinances in effect, but they are somewhat relaxed.

River Road is a beautiful drive and you will find some historical homes along the way. The homes are across from the River, so you have a great view. Moosehaven Retirement Home is on the River - become a Moose and you can retire there!

Orange Park Schools are part of the respected Clay County School system. Orange Park Elementary is on a lottery system (siblings get first priority) and is a highly desired 'A' rated school. All other schools in Orange Park are ether 'A' or 'B' grades - except Orange Park High is a 'C' grade.

Eagle Harbor on Fleming Island - Raising the Bar in the Jacksonville Area

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:31:19 -0500

It's been almost 20 years since East West Partners' land purchase on sleepy Fleming Island in the Clay County area of Jacksonville, Florida. Their arrival would forever raise the bar for every community to follow in the entire Jacksonville area and most certainly Clay, St. Johns, Duval counties and Fleming Island as well. Within four years, Eagle Harbor won the coveted Florida Association of Realtors ENVY Award for its environmental efforts and also the "Best Planned Community in North Florida" by the Northeast Florida Planning and Zoning Council. THE MOTTO OF THE DEVELOPERS.....

"You can live in a resort everyday."

They built the $2.6 million Superpool first, giving Clay County residents a glimpse of what was to come. The 185,000 gallon pool features a 110 foot water slide and is a free form wonder to this day. The pool is 10,000 sq. ft. with one and three-meter diving boards, competition swimming lanes, and a wading pool. There is a playground and a beach with volleyball.

The first homes rolled out the early 90s and the golf course soon followed. The second water park - the Waterfront Park on Doctor's Lake came with a dock beside it, complete with two pontoon boats available for rent to residents. The Waterfront Park has an adults-only heated pool, beach entry pool and separate kiddy pool area.

Playgrounds are scattered throughout Eagle Harbor, and an 8 foot sidewalk runs down Eagle Harbor Parkway affording roller bladers, bikers, and walker/joggers ample room to exercise. Miles of sidewalks run through the neighborhoods giving shortcuts for friends, kids biking to school, and walkers who just want a different route today.

There are 2300+ homes and Eagle Harbor has enlarged its borders to include locations south of 220 and west of 17 and 220. I once joked that East West would buy up all the land on Fleming Island if they could!

We have our own monthly 4-color magazine and intranet for residents only on our website. Updates can be received weekly by email and special alerts/events are sent daily or as they happen. Buy and Sell on Worth Avenue on the intranet.

Not content to build a community with superior facilities, including the 12 Har-Tru tennis courts which boast arguably one of the best tennis programs in the Jacksonville area, East West staffed Eagle Harbor so that the many activities one would expect in a resort were actually available. A Full Time Activities Director and a staff that balloons to 285 in the summer months suport their motto.

The Black Creek neighborhood south of 220 was introduced in 2004 and the third water park - Creekside Park - built. There are 5 Day Docks for resident use, and dry storage for boats and RVs near the Drs. Lake boat ramp.

The homes range from townhouses from the $150,000s, single family homes from the low $200,000s to million dollar homes in estate neighborhoods and also on navigable water. Production builders and custom builders - there is something for everyone here. Details about homes will be in another blog.

A-rated Fleming Island Elementary School is in the middle of Eagle Harbor. Clay County Soccer Fields adjoin the school.

We can drive golf carts everywhere in Eagle Harbor (just not into the commercial areas)! Our 18-hole championship golf course is staffed by PGA Professionals. Our Club features a fully stocked Pro Shop and dining facilities.

Eagle Harbor is a real neighborhood. The residents are very active and friendly. Roger Arrowsmith is a wonderful man and developer who set the tone for this fabulous place to live on Fleming Island in the Clay County area of greater Jacksonville.

Our shopping includes Wal-Mart, Target, Publix, Winn-Dixie, SteinMart, Michaels, Kirkman's, and Kohls, just to name a few. We have great restaurants. The movie theater is under construction and when we get a bookstore, hmmm, we may never have to leave :)

It's a small thing but indicative of the attention to detail of Eagle Harbor - I never get tired of driving the road through the community. It winds in such a fun way even in my SUV it's great. See for yourself.

Now every first class new community in Jacksonville, Duval, Clay, and St. Johns Counties has a waterslide - de rigeur. Eagle Harbor won so many awards for its planning and development that eventually they stopped entering just so other communities could win.

When you come here, you will see for yourself that every single community built after Eagle Harbor has copy-catted and some have tried to outdo the original.

But we think you will find the availability of navigable water, amenities and location of this wonderful place we call home to be something really special.

Communities like Eagle Harbor on Fleming Island don't come along every day.

Check us out, you'll like what you see.
