We are vacationing in Blue Ridge, Georgia this week so instead of our normal format we are featuring an extended segment of The Local Flavor. It might seem odd to talk about Georgia in a podcast about living in Sarasota, Florida but proximity to places and activities you love is a big part of choosing where you live. Shelley's customers often have specific reasons for living in Sarasota that involve how close it is to visiting Tampa, Orlando, Miami along with our great state parks! The one thing that Florida lacks is scenic mountain views, which a lot of new residents miss after moving to The Sunshine State. If mountains are what you are looking for, then Georgia is great location! Need help with your real estate questions?

In today's episode Shelley picks a new way to start the show and explains how closing on a home has changed over the years. Also it's ALLIGATOR MATING SEASON! We discuss some tips on how to live with alligators if you live in Florida or are thinking about relocating to the Sunshine State.

Today we are going to discuss your mortgage during this global health situation. Many people are facing the prospect of limited or no income over the past 30 days and into the future for an undetermined time frame. Although the federal government has passed stimulus programs providing checks to people below the $75K individual or $150K for families, there are small business grants available, and so on, that may not be enough to keep families financially afloat. Lenders for credit cards and even mortgages are offering help, but those plans are proving to not always be what the customer expected. In today's episode we discuss some of the differences in the programs.

In 2019 if someone asked what you would be doing in April of 2020 I don’t think anyone would have come close to what is going on right now do to Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. Maybe 2020 was the year you were going to purchase your first home, so now what? Does your dream of homeownership have to be put on hold as a result of COVID-19? There are many challenges as a result of what is happening, but homeownership might not be off the table for you if you are still working even if it is from home.

Shelley has been successfully working from home from home for the past 5 years. It wasn’t always smooth sailing. When things were working she took the time to evaluate why and change my process. Her perspective, based on trial and error helped to create the following list: Keep your morning routine Have a schedule you follow Have a dedicated work space Know that it is ok to mix work and personal time Start with the stuff you dread most Use a Pomodoro timer Get up and exercise Put away your work at the end of the day

Today we are going to wrap up the conversation we started during the last episode concerning Closing Costs. During the last episode we discussed those relating to the seller. Today, we will review those of the buyer. In FL, homebuyers typically pay between 3-3.5% of the sale of the home toward those costs. The types of costs that could be involved are: 1. Lender fees 2. Taxes 3. Escrow Account Pre-funding (Property tax, insurance, HOA/CONDO) 4. Closing fee to the party that handles the closing 5. Filing/recording fees Shelley describes these in detail. Before we started with today's episode, we shared our thoughts and feelings about COVID-19 (Coronavirus). We won't have a special episode dedicated to the global pandemic as we are not medical experts or even medical amateurs and there is a enough noise in the media about this important topic. Our best advice is to stay calm, take care of yourself and your loved ones, and do your best to follow the guidelines put forth by the CDC. We know there are a lot of people hurting out there, many losing their jobs. In Florida there are thousands of people working in the travel & hospitality industry so we ask that if you live here, please help support these folks. Place a few take out orders while it's still allowed and give them a bit more in their gratuity. If you don't support your favorite local businesses now they may not be here when COVID-19 is a memory.

Closing costs can be so completely confusing! Over her years as a Realtor® Shelley has had several discussions with her customers about closing costs. What are they? How much do I need to plan for? Can I negotiate them? Today's episode is the first of two parts. This week Shelley will cover sellers closing cost and next week she will discuss buyers closing costs. “Closing” occurs when the title of a property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. There are costs associated with that transfer for both the seller and the buyer. Starting with the seller the types of closing costs that could be involved include: Mortgage payoff Taxes Commissions Title Fees Filing/recording fees Association fees Miscellaneous negotiated items

In this episode, our good friend Shawn Yesner is our first ever guest host! Ed and Shawn are in Orlando attending PodFest 2020 while Shelley is back in Sarasota working with multiple listings. Ed was going to just post a quick show this week, but since Shawn has years of experience in real estate law in the Tampa Bay Area he qualifies to fill in for Shelley this week.
Shawn is a bankruptcy attorney in Tampa at his firm Yesner Law and his weekly podcast is Crushing Debt. Today he shares some highlights in his career and how he got involved with real estate and bankruptcy law. He also gives his best legal tips for real estate buyers and sellers.

TWO IN A ROW! TWO IN A ROW! We almost took this week off due to both of us having a nasty flu bug the past few days, but we aren't just some flash-in-the-pan pod-fading slackers! So we fired up the mics, took a few shots of NyQuil and shared some random gibberish for you all.
In this episode: Shelley shares market updates and the awesome fact that Florida is the number one relocation destination in the U.S.! (Sorry Texas!) Also, Siesta Key Beach is once again the #1 beach in the U.S. (Suck it Clearwater Beach - sorry not sorry.)
Ed shares his rabid unbridled enthusiasm for all things podcasting and conference-related as he shares his thoughts about the upcoming Cinema Voz and PodFest conferences in Orlando happening March 6th - 8th.

We are BACK! We didn't mean to take a full year off, it just sort of happened. It wasn't you, it was us. In today's episode, we share a list of ridiculous excuses for why we were stopped recording our podcast (and a few of the actual reasons). Just the same, we are back to recording and will be putting out new episodes every week.
Shelley is out this week recovering from her operation, so Ed has taken over the show and it has gone off the rails.
Please come back soon Shelley!
Here is what Ed did in Shelley's absence:
Streamed a FB Live episode of the show.
Recorded this episode with his various gadgets and gizmos.
Stripped out the audio and posted it here for your please.
Ed's lunacy aside we are working on some new directions for the show starting this summer so the next few weeks are not going to be anything like the previous 30+ episodes.
Please be patient and forgive us now for any temporary drop in show quality or the overall lack of consistency. It will be better when we are done.

This was the best PodFest EVER! Well, except Shelley wasn't there, so it had a major downside for Ed. =(
This year PodFest was bigger with more speakers, more vendors, and more attendees than ever before! If you are thinking about starting a podcast in 2019 then you need to join a local podcasters meetup, check out the PodFest Facebook group, and make plans to attend PodFest 2020 in Orlando!
Ed had the honor of speaking at PodFest on a panel with some amazing producers - John Largent, Danny Ozment, Carey Green, and William Howell! It was great to work with you guys!

On February 9th we celebrated our 1st year anniversary in podcasting! Though we had a great first year in podcasting, 2018 proved to be full of more challenges than we expected.
In June of 2018 our show's host was diagnosed with breast cancer. That is about the time we took our short hiatus. Ed quit his day job selling for Mermaid Vodka to get his real estate license. We moved our home and studio very quickly. What may have seemed like random chaos was so we could prepare for Shelley's treatment.
In October she had a mastectomy to remove her left breast which had two fairly large tumors. Fortunately, the cancer had not spread beyond her breast and her lymph nodes were clear so she did not require chemotherapy or radiation treatment. From October through mid-January we did our best balancing our show, Shelley's recovery from surgery, and managing what was left of her growing real estate business. There is no way we could have made it through all of this without the love and support of our friends and family or the amazing staff at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.
As of now Shelley is nearly back up to full speed and she is on pace to have a record sales year. (Ed keeps joking that her surgeon slipped a nuclear reactor in her implant.) Since Ed really is not the person you want helping buy or sell your home he is in the middle of a job search for something in marketing or web development.
We are publishing this episode because when Shelley got her diagnosis we limited telling people who were directly affected by her illness. We didn't really even know her long term prognosis until 2 months after her surgery when she was cleared by the oncologist as being cancer free with an extremely low probability of recurrence. Now that she is through the worst of it we wanted to be sure everyone who knows us has the full story behind the chaos that was the last half of 2018.
Hard to believe it's been a year!
Our first episode was released on Feb 9th 2018 which we launched while attending Podfest pod in Orlando.
To celebrate our first year as podcasters we decided to take a break from our normal format to discuss our first year in podcasting featuring some very kind words from the host of School of Podcasting, Dave Jackson!

A great evening with St. Pete Podcasters! This week we took a break from real estate to visit our friends Robyn Sayles and Diane Kutz of St. Pete Podcasters at their monthly meetup at Pinellas Ale Works!
We gave a short presentation about how we got started in podcasting including gear, software, and hosting services we use. We included a copy of our presentation deck as a download with this episode on our website.

"But why would we get an inspection before the house is on the market? Isn't that the buyers problem?"
In today's episode Shelley explains how a pre-listing inspection can help you avoid unpleasant surprises when selling your home. She also explains the benefits of including a home warranty in the sale of your home. Meanwhile Ed sits there...staring at the mixing board. Just staring. Nice job Ed.
Today we kick off the new season with the first episode of our 2019 season. Shelley gives you all the reasons you should hire a real estate agent (or REALTOR®). Ed shares his news about becoming a REALTOR® struggles with why REALTOR® is spelled "REALTOR®".
Production note: At the end of 2018 we finalized our production planning for 2019 (and beyond) and will have a new episodes every Wednesday with an occasional bonus episode.
What do we mean by 'clean it up'? Today Shelley shares her best practices of how customers should prepare their home for sale including removing clutter, giving the house a thorough cleaning, deodorizing, and clearing out overly crowded storage spaces.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019! We have had an exciting year in 2018 with some changes and challenges along the way. In this week's episode we close out 2018 with a quick year in review with highlights including starting this podcast, Ed getting his real estate sales license, and us moving into a new home (and studio)!
Thanks to everyone who supported us with Selling Sarasota Podcast. We are truly grateful for your help and friendship! Looking forward to 2019!

About this new show Historical Florida is a weekly podcast about the people, places, and events that made Florida the Sunshine State!
Why this show? Two reasons really - history and Florida. Seems overly simplified, but Ed really loves history and during our first few years of living in Florida we were surprised at really interesting history Florida has.
This show will give a weekly story about a unique piece of Florida's history with everything from natural history, music, culture and the behind the scenes info about things that are uniquely Floridian!
BONUS: Outtakes & Jokes with Jo Ann Koontz This short bonus episode is some outtakes from before our interview with Jo Ann followed by some bad jokes by Ed.

We're BACK! After a short hiatus we are back in the studio this week featuring two major changes! First, we will be releasing episodes multiple days each week as we are turning segments into episodes. The second change is our brand new segment "Community Spotlight"! While we like talking real estate and LOVE checking out the best places for food and cocktails for "The Local Flavor" we wanted to start featuring community organizations that help make Sarasota an even better place to live!
We are kicking off our first episode for Community Spotlight with the first in a series of episodes to promote a great local event benefiting the Arthritis Foundation - THE JINGLE BELL RUN!
Dr. Richard Yonker - Rheumatologist Today we had the change to sit down with experienced rheumatologist Dr. Richard Yonker of Sarasota Arthritis Center to learn about the several types of arthritis and how arthritis affects everyone.
Dr. Yonker attended the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in Des Moines, Iowa where he received his D.O. degree. Dr. Yonker's internship was completed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Parkview Hospital. Dr. Yonkers' residency in Internal Medicine was completed at the Albert Einstein Medical Center-Northern Division in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His fellowship in Rheumatology was completed at the University of Florida located in Gainesville, Florida. In 1984, Dr. Yonker joined the Sarasota Arthritis Center.
About the Jingle Bell Run Now in its 23rd year, the Jingle Bell Run in one of the Arthritis Foundation’s signature events that is held nationwide during the month of December annually.
This event provides a robust opportunity to partners to capitalize on the visibility and accessibility to the direct audience of the Arthritis Foundation which is comprised of community members including doctors, nurses, physical therapist, afflicted individuals and families suffering daily from arthritis.

Jaydin Mercer is a rock star! As our Community Spot Light continues with the Arthritis Foundation's signature event the Jingle Bell Run we had the pleasure of chatting with Jennifer and Jaydin Mercer. They are a local family who shared their personal arthritis story with us.
Jaydin will be serving as the Youth Honoree for this year’s Jingle Bell Run. Remember her name because this girl is a rock star!
Jaydin's Story
All I really remember was the pain. Not really how it happened, just how much it hurt me to have it. Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Three big words that mean a lot to me now but did not register in my mind back then. I was only four-years-old, so I did not understand what was happening.
The first medicine I began taking was medication to reduce the swelling, but it just increased my stomach aches. After switching my medicine, I soon had to be put to sleep for steroid injections in the left knee. While this was going on, we also figured out that I had Uveitis, a type of Arthritis in my eyes. It causes them to inflame, which can lead to blindness if not treated. Today, I manage my Arthritis by taking my NSAID twice a day, receiving a shots every Saturday, and getting a blood draw every six weeks. Staying active and eating healthy also help me stay happy and feel as good as possible!
Despite having Arthritis, I am able to play soccer, train in Martial Arts, maintain straight A’s for three years, and get into the gifted program.
As the official Youth Honoree, I have a chance to help others going through the same problems as me. The foundation also made it possible for me to go to Camp Boggy Creek for a family weekend last fall and a whole week this summer. I can now help raise money for this great foundation! I am honored to raise awareness about something that others might overlook or not understand and show them that this is a serious issue for people of all ages. We should be working together to find cures and other ways to help. I am proud to represent the Arthritis Foundation!

What is a 1031 Exchange? We could just read this out of the IRS code, but we are friends with an expert lawyer and CPA so we thought it would be more fun to ask her. This week we interview real estate law and taxes expert Jo Ann Koontz of Koontz & Associates.

Today we speak with a champion! As our Community Spotlight continues with the Arthritis Foundation and their signature event the Jingle Bell Run, we are here today with Dr. Jeffrey Silverstein of Sarasota Orthopedic Associates and he is serving as Medical Champion for this year’s Jingle Bell Run.
Dr. Jeffrey Silverstein - Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Silverstein is a Board Certified and Fellowship Trained orthopedic surgeon who treats both adult and pediatric patients. His expertise covers orthopedic trauma of the upper and lower extremities, hip and knee joint arthritis, and sports medicine injuries.
Originally from West Virginia, Dr. Silverstein received his Bachelor’s Degree from Indiana University and his Medical Degree from West Virginia University School of Medicine. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Illinois in Chicago, followed by additional fellowship training at the Florida Orthopedic Institute in Tampa, FL.
Dr. Silverstein is trained in the latest orthopedic care of traumatic fractures. For patients with hip and knee arthritis, he offers both non-surgical and surgical options. Non-surgical options include physical therapy, custom bracing, medication management, cortisone and gel injections, platelet rich plasma (PRP), and stem cell therapies. When his patients require hip and knee replacement surgeries Dr. Silverstein may perform less invasive techniques including muscle sparing incisions, partial knee replacements, custom patient specific implants, and robotic assisted surgeries.

Kenny Keeney "Stay classy Sarasota." Rick Odneal "This is Sarasota Shelley, assisting you with your dreams" Gunner Davis "Shelley sells sea shells by the seashore." Jennifer Beam "This is Shelley signing off to go sell another slice of paradise (Slice/piece/house)" Jennifer Dougherty "Thank ya. Thank ya very much." (the classics never go out of style) Gerald Gary How about: "Until Next Time, Buy Sarasota!"

The Metro Diner 6056 North Lockwood Ridge Road Sarasota, FL 34243 (941) 404-8815 https://metrodiner.com/ (https://metrodiner.com) From the Metro Diner website: Metro Diner may not be the type of place where you’d expect contemporary culinary techniques, a commitment to creating dishes from scratch, an award-winning presentation, unique recipes and imaginative twists on old classics, but it is. It’s that type of place because we cook with heart. We cook for the love of food. Since the building’s humble beginnings in 1938 and its revival as Metro Diner in 1992, Jacksonville’s favorite place for breakfast has been serving satisfied guests for nearly 25 years. In 2000, master chef Mark Davoli and family took over and elevated the menu to include innovative new dishes created from local ingredients. Along with culinary creativity, the Davoli family brought more than 80 years of combined restaurant experience to Metro Diner. Known for warm, welcoming service, familiar faces and award-winning food, Metro Diner is a go-to eatery for locals, visitors and those just passing through town. Stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner in select locations, we’d love to have you.

(How to price a home for sale. - (20:13) Shelley talks about how to avoid the #1 mistake made in listing a home - pricing the home incorrectly. If you price it too high then looks like other homes are more of a value and will sell before yours.

How can listing analytics provided by Century 21 can help you price your home properly and adjust it after listing? Listen to this segment and contact Shelley directly for more details.

Besides the ramp up to our world premiere of the podcast we had an amazing time at Podfest with an action packed schedule with several general sessions, break out training, and hours of networking with vendors and other podcasters. We wrap up the show sharing our favorite sessions including Roberto Blake's YouTube training, Katie Krimitsos & Jessica Kupferman's "Boss Lady Workshop" and the Strategic Alliance networking workshop which got the conference off to a great start even though it felt a bit like speed dating for business contacts. We wrap up this episode chatting about Dave Jackson's Roast on the last day of the conference.

It's the Final Walk-through(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw (Cue 80's music!)) What's the point of a final walk-through after visiting the home several times and a home inspection? RepairsDouble check to ensure anything on your negotiated repair checklist is complete as specified in the contract.
Address any damage that was not-visible during or may have occurred after the inspection period. The home must be relatively clean. A higher level of cleaning can be negotiated before the walk-through, but the default is the home must be "broom swept".
Condition of the HomeItems That ConveyItems that are included in the sale of the home are present and working as the were at the time of inspection.
How serious is the final walk-through? A sale isn't final until it is closed. Although there may be reprocussions, it can be canceled for almost any reason until the sale is completed at the closing, but typically this only happens with less than 3% of transactions. This being said, Shelley is not a lawyer, so please seek out legal advice for any specific real world issues.

This week's questions came to us through the contact page on our website. Robert in Lakewood Ranch wants to know how much should I expect to put down as a down payment or deposit? It depends on the sale, but enough of a down payment that the seller knows you are a serious buyer. Between 1% and 5% is common, but despited popular belief 20% is not required. Your deposit can also vary based on the type of loan you qualify for, so please see a mortgage lending professional for the best advice for your specific situation. Lisa in Gulf Gate asked can I buy a new home and sell my current home at the same time? Yes! This happens frequently, but the timing can be...

Our first interview guest is the Vice President of Lending at Guaranteed Rate Mortgage Jennifer Martinez. Jennifer has been in the mortgage lending industry for 17 years. She got involved early in her career because of her excellent math skills and her love of helping people achieve their goal of home ownership. The favorite part of her job is helping first time home buyers and veterans. Jennifer is also a physical fitness enthusiast and enjoys weekly bootcamp classes with her husband and three children. While she and Ed compare notes on their workout routines there might have been just a little smack talking. In her interview Jennifer shares her best tips on how home buyers should prepare to get a mortgage loan including what questions you should ask a prospective lender. She also explains why you have a 30 day period to shop for a mortgage without it affecting your credit score. Jennifer then describes the major differences between VA, FHA, and conventional mortgage loans. She also outlines the importance of documenting sources of down payment fund sources, especially if it is being gifted to you. We wrap up our chat with Jennifer with her tips for how to prepare for mortgage 6 months before you purchase your home including information about down payments, closing costs, and transfer taxes in Florida.
For more information regarding mortgage loans you can contact Jennifer via phone, text, or email.

In our first full episode Shelley breaks down her best tips for hiring a realtor to help you buy or sell a home in Sarasota. Many of the tips are applicable in other markets. The show opens with Ed enthusiastically sharing his newest obsession with having groceries delivered from Publix via a service called Shipt. There website describes their service as: "Through a user-friendly app and a local network of reliable shoppers, Shipt connects members to fresh groceries and everyday essentials. Saving time, fuel and headspace, next-hour, same day grocery delivery is quickly becoming an everyday necessity for people looking for an extra few hours and intentional food choices." Once Shelley gets Ed to stop chatting about food she shares these tips for hiring a realtor in Sarasota, Florida. She begins by describing the difference between real estate agents and realtors. Realtors belong to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Realtors have a code of ethics they are required and can receive additional training and professional designations. Also the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), part of the Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) oversees real estate agents behavior to ensure fair and legal practices are followed. These organizations matter to home buyers and sellers because they help determine an agents expertise and qualifications to assist with their transaction. Here are some questions Shelley suggests for interviewing a real estate agent before hiring them: Are they a full-time agent? Is being an agent their primary occupation so they will be able to be actively involved in the transaction and available for responsive communication?
Do they have a written marketing plan? Selling a home involves more than just taking a few photos and posting online for sale. If the prospective agent doesn't have a written out plan with specific steps describing how they successfully sell your home.
Ask previous listings whether they are currently on the market or sold. This will give you some idea of how they will list your home.
Ask how they will represent you. Are they a transaction agent or a single agent? Shelley briefly describes the similarities and differences between the two types. We will be doing a full episode covering this topic in depth in an upcoming episode
Ask for references. Beyond asking for written testimonials ask if they will let you speak directly to their past customers.
What do they know about your area or the local market? They should be able to provide detailed information regarding homes that have sold in the area similar to yours.
Ed then takes a short break to share a few of the social media "bumpers" (voice over with music). Our poor voice over artist Sean never knows what to make of the scripts we write for him. Our theme music was purchased on Audio Jungle - a great source for sound effects and music files for sale at reasonable prices. Shelley wraps up our show relisting her tips for hiring a real estate agent. And as stated by Sean in his closing comments - we do give out FREE HUGS for great reviews on iTunes!

A quick introduction to get to know your host Shelley Panas and her producer Edward Panas and why they have created a podcast about buying and selling real estate in Sarasota, FL. Your host is Shelley Panas; a licensed real estate agent with CENTURY 21 Beggins Enterprises in Sarasota FL. She works anywhere from Lakewood Ranch, to Bradenton, Sarasota, and down through Venice. This Podcast is about residential real estate. It is for anyone interested in selling their home. Even though Shelley will focus on how you can successfully sell your home, any transaction has both a buyer and seller so both will get key insights that make it all less stressful. Joining Shelley is her producer (and husband) Edward Panas. So, Why this show?
There's a lot of information already out there for real estate, but Shelley was looking for a new and interesting way to educate her customers. While Ed has been in marketing for several years, he has always loved listening to podcasts, and about a year developed an interest in producing his own show. Since Shelley and Ed had already been collaborating on her real estate marketing it seemed like a natural fit. Shelley's business background "In some odd way it feels like every job I've had in my career up to this point was training to becoming a realtor. My sister and I were business partners in Michigan. We were 4th generation furniture store owners. Owning my own business directly translated to real estate. It involved advertising & marketing, business management, working long hours, providing personalized customer service, and working with a variety of people to get a job done--- all of which takes place every time I sell a home. I sold my share of the store to my sister, so I could accept a job offer as a Chief Operating Officer of a software company. While there I learned the art of negotiating as every contract we signed crossed my desk. Managing critical time lines, digital marketing, and effective communication to make sure everyone understands exactly what the next steps will be-- were all part of my daily life at the software company and are skills I rely on with every transaction in real estate." What will a typical episode for the podcast be like? Some episodes we will tackle a topic like inspections before you sell, staging, and negotiation tips. Basically, anything that will help people looking to buy or sell a home. But it's not going to just be us. You can expect interviews with local industry experts like loan officers, real estate lawyers or CPAs, and inspection companies. Ed will bring you "The Local Flavor". Since so many people are moving to Florida, we will talk about why the Central Gulf Coast is the ideal spot. Not just talking cheeseburgers in paradise. Because there is more to Sarasota than bragging rights to the best beaches. We have fabulous restaurants, the arts, museums, fishing, state parks, and the list goes on. It is just awesome living here. Thank you for listening! Links in this episode: http://www.c21shelley.com/ (Shelley's real estate website - C21Shelley)
