Request a Free Presentation On How We Will Market and Sell Your Home. Remember, All REALTORS® Are NOT Alike.  A "Listing Presentation" is an industry term for the formal presentation that a REALTOR® makes to prospective home sellers, trying to earn their trust and business. Don't list your home with a real estate agent without it! We would love the opportunity to make such a presentation to you. We'll visit your Broward County, Fort Lauderdale Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Davie SW Ranches, Weston, Miramar and Hollywood home, and together we will walk through it, considering the positives and negatives (if any!). You will then see exactly how we would propose to sell your home, for as much as the market will bear, and within your time frame. We will tell you where we will advertise your home, both in print and on the web. With the dramatic growth in homebuyer usage of the web, you MUST have a top REALTOR® that can extensively market your home online! And you'll find out what your Broward County, Fort Lauderdale Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Davie SW Ranches, Weston, Miramar and Hollywood home is worth, because part of our presentation will include a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) of your home. We'll compare your home to others like it in Broward County, Fort Lauderdale Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Davie SW Ranches, Weston, Miramar and Hollywood that have recently sold, and also to others that are currently for sale. This is a very important way of determining the fair market value of your home. We make free presentations and prepare CMAs for prospective home sellers every day. We've literally done hundreds, and we know exactly what puts a big SOLD sign in your front yard. We'd love the chance to make a presentation for you. It is totally free and without any obligation. Call us! Or fill out this form... Yes, you can request a FREE in-home presentation of how we would market your property in Broward County, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, Davie, SW Ranches, Weston, Miramar, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Deerfield Beach, Ft.Lauderdale, Hallandale, Highland Beach, Hollywood Beach Florida, Lauderdale by the Sea, Lauderhill, Lighthouse Point, Margate, North Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Parkland, Plantation, Pompano Beach, Sunrise, Tamarac and Wellington!

Buying Land and New Construction >Beware of Fat Clay
When building a home, you should have the soil on the construction site tested for plasticity to determine how it will change under different moisture conditions. This is important because some soil is so "plastic" that (if the condition is not corrected) it can actually break concrete floors, crack the walls and destroy the foundation of your home.
Highly plastic soil is sometimes referred to as "fat clay" that swells excessively and loses stability when it becomes wet. Fine-grained soils that contain a high percentage of clay are greatly affected by water, turning to mud when it rains and undergoing large volume changes-sometimes up to 40 or 50 percent, as the soil dries. Not only do clays swell and lose stability when they become wet, but they also retard the drainage of water. If plastic soil is found on your building site, the ground must be over-excavated and replaced with clean gravel. Homebuilders often choose not to include a basement, or to protect the basement walls from excess moisture by surrounding them with a layer of gravel. A fine-grained clay-filled soil with a high plasticity index may require considerable treatment, especially if used in a moist location.
