Clearwater Florida's Best Neighborhoods Report

A closer look atClearwater Florida Real Estate:  Grovewood has been award Clearwater Neighborhood of the Quarter in the past and is a neighborhood where homes sell quickly when one of these 124 tile roofed Clearwater homes is for sale.

The tile roofs is a signature of this Clearwater Florida community and one of the strictest parts of their deed restrictions - all Grovewood homes must have tile roofs.For a neighborhood that is about 30 years old – home buyers want to be sure and have a home inspection out if the home’s roof has been replaced or not – with the new Florida roofing laws of October 2007 – this is a cost that needs to be planned for since most of the original roofs have reached the end of their useful life.  

They are primarily 3 and 4 bedroom single level ranch homes built in the early 1970’s and most are from 1800 to 2400 sq ft in size. Most of these Clearwater homes have 2 bathrooms and 2 car garages and more than 1/2 of the homes also have pools in a lovely deed restricted neighborhood. Many of the homes in Grovewood also have pools.

Clearwater Florida Family Get's Their Pool Home before Year Ends

Clearwater Florida – Well it’s hard to believe 2007 is over…so what did we do on the last business day of 2007 – we helped a Clearwater family realized their dream of buying their new Clearwater Pool Home and then we all got to celebrate! What a great way to end 2007!! 

We have written before that we don’t do “real estate closings” – we do “real estate celebrations” because we don’t see the people and families we meet buying and selling homes and condos in Clearwater as being finished at the end of a real estate transaction. We see them as friends and we this as a happy time that signifies the beginning of a life long relationship.

Here’s what Chris and Dave, Clearwater home buyers, had to say about their Clearwater pool home buying experience and what it was like working with us. We are pleased to know that even though they had bought several homes over the years they felt like this “was their best experience ever”. Chris and Dave also gave Jack compliments for being such a great advocate for them. I have to tell you he does an amazing job for our clients – I have to give him kudos too!! Great job hon!! 

Clearwater Real Estate Agent get's Home Buyer's Praise    

Celebration Continues – Friends, Fun Families 

Here are a few photos of Chris and Dave’s  “Celebration”

 

 

 

 

 

 

When was the last time you saw your Mortgage broker get this kind of client affirmation?

As always, we feel blessed to work with other real estate and mortgage professionals, like Leah Ross, that always put the home buyer’s dreams above closing any transaction. That’s harder to find than you might think.   

So as we end 2007, we have so much to be thankful for and just wanted to thank all those that gave us the opportunity to serve them over this past year.

We also want to thank all our loyal readers that make it fun to write and share our Tampa Bay community and give our Clearwater Florida Real Estate thoughts each day here on Sandbars to Sunsets.

We are looking forward to an even better 2008. Looking forward to having you be part of the journey. The fun continues by sharing it with friends and family. Hope you’ll consider being part of our Sandbars to Sunsets family in 2008! 

  

“Now all I can tell you is what happens in Clearwater Florida – stays in Clearwater Florida – and judging from the smiles everyone had a great time!”

Clearwater Real Estate | No Pool Home Surprises Please

We live in a wonderful part of Florida and there's nothing better than a cool dip in a Clearwater pool at home on a hot summer day. Can't you just picture floating in your blue backyard pool, relaxing, rejuvenating. This is how it should be...

Now let me tell you what can happen if you don't do your homework when you're buying that Clearwater FL Pool Home.

Top Clearwater REALTORS spend the majority of our time working with Tampa Bay Home buyers and are big advocates and believers in Home Inspections. I am a member of the Tampa Bay Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) which allows me to be a resource to my clients through my relationships with some of the areas most accomplished remodeling professionals.  In a state known sometimes for fly-by-night tradesman - referrals to the best remodeling contractors and professionals in the area has proven invaluable. 

In this case, the Clearwater pool professionals at Skinee-Dip Pools & Spas, the largest Tampa Bay area Pool Remodelers and Pool Contractors in the 5 county Tampa Bay area inspected this pool and boy are our Home Buyers lucky they did! They know Tampa Bay pools since they've built over 3,000 since 1971 and do over 1000 pool remodels each year. These are the kind of expert resources we bring to our clients...

 

 

 

 

 

Clearwater Pool Home Inspection Results 

Now this is what the pool looked like - Looks inviting doesn't it. Our homebuyers were already imagining their pool parties and having the grandkids over - if they had stopped here they would have purchased a $15,000+ problem! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Hold on not so fast - take off those rose colored home buyer glasses ....remember all Inspections are for the Home buyer - If you are a Clearwater FL Home or Condo buyer - Please take advantage of them or be ready for unpleasant "surprises" later and possible very costly surprises too.

Here's what we found when we took a closer look at this pool....

How happy would you be to learn about all this AFTER you bought your home?

If you have a Tampa Bay Real Estate Expert dedicated to Tampa Bay Home Buyers, like us, they'll negotiate on your behalf like it they would for their own family.     

   

As a new Clearwater Pool Home Owner – How happy would you be to learn about all this AFTER you bought your home?

If you have a Realtor dedicated to Tampa Bay Home Buyers, like us, they'll negotiate on your behalf like it they would for their own family.

Are you looking to buy a Tampa Bay Home or Condo? 

We believe a Clearwater Realtor should really be YOUR advocate as the Clearwater Pool Home or Condo Buyer and always put YOUR best interests above selling any one home or condo? We believe Buyers like you deserve more! - in this case it could have been @ $15,000 mistake - OUCH!!. Here's what some of our past clients have to say about how we helped them....
