As you are aware, there are numerous Hurricane damaged homes in the greater Tampa Bay Area as well as up and down the west coast of Florida.

Those that live on the water suffered major flood damage from Hurricane Helene’s storm surge. Properties that were farther inland experienced their issues with high winds and flooding that was due to the massive amount of rain that fell from Hurricane Milton.

And I am willing to bet that when you are driving around town you are noticing a lot more “blue tarps” on roof tops these days.

The majority of these homeowners are still dealing with their insurance companies, property adjusters and delays with the local permitting process. Many are still in limbo as the FEMA 50/50 Rule may be impacting their decisions as how to proceed.

I can almost bet that there are many Real Estate “Investors” who are dealing with these effected homeowners that do not understand the complexities of this process. You don’t want to be in that group.

FYI - the fallout from all this chaos will result in an increase in Foreclosure Filings for 2025.

Join us this Wednesday, January 8 2025, from 6 to 9 PM, at the Nest CoLab where we will welcome a special guest speaker, a Real Estate and Foreclosure Attorney, who understands how all this works and who has dealt with Hurricane Insurance claims over the past years here in Florida and other States.

This will be an informative presentation that will give you the required knowledge in order to venture into this market.

See You Wednesday

If you are in the area, you may want to attend this free education event. We just picked up another Hurricane damaged Short Sale.

Have you ever heard of the FEMA 50/50 Rule ?

To be honest, I never fully understood it either, but I do now.

Many homeowners who suffered damage from the recent Hurricanes are going to be well acquainted with the 50/50 Rule.

And many homeowners are going to be very disappointed when they find out that they may have to rebuild, not simply rehab their Hurricane damaged properties.

This will change the dynamic of the local Housing Market, especially along the coastal areas.

However, it will also present many opportunities for Real Estate Investors, Real Estate Agents, Contractors and all the other industries that support the Housing Market.

Join us on Wednesday January 8 2025 at the Nest CoLab where we will welcome a special guest speaker, a Real Estate and Foreclosure Attorney, who understands how all this works and who has dealt with Hurricane Insurance claims over the past years here in Florida and other States.

There is a lot of misinformation and confusion with regard to what can, or will, happen to the homes that were damaged by the recent Hurricanes so we will do a deep dive into how the process works and how everyone can benefit by turning this misfortune into a positive outcome for homeowners.

If you are local to the Tampa Bar area this week .....

The Mainstream Media has not been too kind to Real Estate Agents lately.

This whole NAR settlement issue has put the Real Estate industry in an uproar.

And like pretty much everything these days, there is a lot of misinformation going around.

Some journalists are implying that by removing a 3% commission, it would solve the affordability issues.

Now clearly most of us understand today’s lack of affordability is due to high home prices along with high mortgages rates.

Regardless of how they try to spin it, there are major changes coming to this industry and you would be wise to get educated on what's happened, what changes are proposed and understand how this will all play out.

Join us on Friday April 5th Where We Will Do a Deep Dive
On the Recent NAR Settlement Changes and discover strategies to not only SURVIVE but THRIVE as an Agent in the evolving market landscape.

We will review and discuss the changes, but also show you how this could open up a big opportunity for those that are ready to accept and work through the future challenges.

It's much better to be a leader, than a follower, right ?

Who would benefit from attending this event ?

Real Estate Agents (of course), those who are in process to become an Agent, as well as Real Estate Investors and Home Buyers.

We Look Forward to Seeing You on Friday!
