OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST Become One of Our Next Satisfied Customers Michael was enthusiastic about the entire process. He quickly recognized what our house had to offer and knew exactly how to sell its benefits and features. He walked us thru each step of the process making us very comfortable that our best interests were his priority. While we knew our house was a show-piece for our community, Michael made sure that message was clear in the photographs and video. We also would like to give a shout out to Sharon, the Office Manager, who was very helpful thru the process.

& Maria Champa
I contacted Michael to help me sell my home in the middle of the summer. He worked with me quickly to get the home ready and listed within a week. His entire team worked on the marketing and my home was under contract within days of listing. I have no doubt this happened so quickly and seamlessly because of Michael’s dedication to his client and exceptional work ethic. Perhaps most impressive was his integrity through every step of the process. I am extremely satisfied with the work of the entire Citron Real Estate Group.
Colleen Boyle
Stephanie was professional and exceeded my expectations in a Realtor. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants the home buying process to be stress-free. I never realized how much I needed a specific buyers’ agent until I tried to do this on my own. She was on my side and had my back, one less thing to worry about with all that goes on during this process. Not to mention, she got me into my dream home!
Nichole Kelly
Stephanie was a tremendous asset for us in every step of selling our house. From the listing through the closing, Stephanie was extremely communicative and kept us informed throughout the process. We would enthusiastically work with the Citron Real Estate Group again in the future.
Kevin & Sarah Farrell
My wife and I have been buying and selling homes for over 25 years. Michael and his staff are the best Realtors we have dealt with. Michael offers a comprehensive marking strategy in selling and correctly positioning your home, as well as excellent feedback while your home is listed and regarding the interest in your home. Once an offer is extended, Michael helps in negotiating the best price and exhibits excellent skills in putting the deal together. The Citron Real Estate Group is a very professional, courteous and knowledgeable agency.

Real Estate RESOLUTIONS For Homeowners Considering A Move In 2017
BUY & SELL EARLY IN 2017 According to Realtor.com, interest rates are likely to move up 1% in 2017 increasing a potential buyer’s mortgage payment by an additional 9%. Buy and sell now, as your home can still sell for a record price. Then, you can still take advantage of lower interest rates on your next home before rates increase. Sell With Confidence with the Citron Real Estate Group. Our average listings sell for 2-4% higher than the competition in Parkland. Our proven track record will also help you get the best deal on the home you buy with us.
DON’T LEAVE YOUR LARGEST FINANCIAL ASSET IN THE HANDS OF A PART-TIME, INEXPERIENCED OR DISCOUNT AGENT! Hire a local expert team that will give you the best advice throughout the entire buying & selling process. Anyone can pass a test to become a real estate agent, but not everyone has the expert knowledge to get your home sold for the highest possible price. It doesn’t cost you any more to hire the best; it actually costs you more not to!
DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE HIRING AN AGENT Perception is not always reality. Check reviews and virtually interview agents online before hiring an agent. Work with people you know and trust in the business. With a trusted name in the local community and with over 90+ reviews, Perception is Reality with the Citron Real Estate Group!
COMPARE THE RESULTS. NUMBERS DON’T LIE! When interviewing agents, request a list of homes that the agent has recently sold in your community. It is essential to hire an agent that is an expert and has a proven track record. Also, ask for phone numbers of past clients in order to truly find out their experience. The Citron Real Estate Group sold over 88 homes in 2016. Our team has closed more deals in Parkland in recent years than anyone else. We can do the same for you!

SQUAWK TALK There are two major pieces of information that our team looks at in order to evaluate the performance of Parkland’s real estate market. The first is the average sales price and the second is the average list price. In 2016, both of these values skyrocketed compared to years in the past. In fact, the average list price went up 12% and the average sales price increased by 9%. This is huge for all Parkland homeowners. As a result, if you are thinking about making a move, NOW is the best time to capitalize on record sales prices and still low interest rates.

ASK THE EXPERT Mortgage Q &A with Joe Palopoli HOW DOES A HIGHER INTEREST RATE REFLECT ON SALES PRICES? People looking to make a move should sell now while home prices are at record high numbers and then buy as interest rates are still at record low levels but most likely will increase. I believe the real estate market in 2017 will be better than 2016. The Mortgage Brokers Association (MBA) projects purchase originations will be $1.1 Trillion in 2017, an 11% increase from 2016. So, therefore, I don’t see higher interest rates having any impact on the market. Interest rates are still at historically low levels. Although, they bottomed out around 3.50% for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage, today they are currently in the 4.25% range. So, the increase in rates will cost a buyer $4.29 more per $10,000 financed, so I don’t see rates having that much of an impact on a buyers purchasing power.
JOE PALOPOLI & HIS FAMILY Joe is a 14-year Parkland resident and has been a mortgage originator for over 20 years. Joe has funded over 6,000 loans for over $1.2 billion in volume.
WHY GET PRE-APPROVED BEFORE LOOKING AT HOMES TO BUY? A true Pre-Approval is just like a loan commitment if completed properly. As you know, a strong PreApproval letter or loan commitment could make the difference if the seller accepts or rejects an offer. An accurate Pre-Approval requires documentation such as tax returns (personal & business), W-2’s, paystubs, assets, existing mortgage statements and HOA coupons, tax and insurance bills on existing homes and of course a credit report. Also, an accurate Pre-Approval will determine if a borrower has had any recent foreclosures, short sales, deed in lieu’s or bankruptcies and this will require additional documentation. A Pre-Qualification is basically a conversation without verifying all of this information.
DO I NEED TO LIST AND SELL MY HOME FIRST BEFORE I BUY MY NEXT HOME? Completing an accurate Pre-Approval will determine if a borrower will need to sell their current home prior to closing on their new house. Other possibilities may be to rent it or sell at a later date.
