Complimentary lunch

In South Florida’s fast-moving market—where inventory is lower than other parts of the country, prices remain elevated, and rates hover at 6.25–6.375%—clients want to upgrade or relocate without the stress of double payments, rushed sales, or missed opportunities. Join us for an exclusive lunch and learn how to turn “maybe later” into CLOSED with smart financing and tax strategies.

What You’ll Learn:

• Bridge Loans Made Simple: Tap into the equity for short-term (6–12 month), interest-only funding to secure the new home before selling the old.
• Win in a Competitive Market: Make all-cash offers that beat 70% of the competition—no contingencies, no delays.
• Slash Monthly Costs: Pair bridges with a 7/1 ARM (starts ~ 5.5%) to save $200–$300/month vs. today’s 30-year fixed at 6.25% - 6.375%.
• 1031 Exchange Essentials: Defer capital gains taxes when upgrading investment properties—learn timing rules, qualified intermediaries, and like-kind requirements.
• Local Value Trends (Broward & Palm Beach): Spot rising pockets, avoid overpaying, and advise clients on equity-rich moves.
• Tailored Client Paths: From high-equity power plays to budget-conscious hybrids and investor tax strategies.

Bonus: 1031 Exchange Checklist
