Happy New Year!!!!
While sometimes it may feel like life is a train running in one direction, the coming of the New Year allows us to take a stop and think about where we are at in our lives. To reflect on what the year brought us and what is coming next.
2023 was a rough one for many of us, and I am hopeful that 2024 brings you joy and success and happiness.

Realtor of the Year
Sara Van Kirk

Congratulations to Sara Van Kirk on closing 15 transactions for the year of 2023!
Sara Van Kirk has been in the real estate business for just over half a decade and she is a force to be reckoned with! From being a master networker, savvy marketer, and relentless tenacity, Sara is a triple threat you want to have in your arsenal! Much of those skills she developed from her experiences as a paralegal in the personal injury industry, running her own marketing firm, and obtaining her bachelor's degree in business. Sara has a bubbly personality that lights up a room and will help you stay positive and focused during those difficult moments of a transaction.
Sara currently resides in Boca Raton enjoying all that sunny South Florida has to offer with her husband Kevin and their dog Juno. In between negotiating and closing deals, Sara fits in a very active lifestyle often hitting the gym twice in a day! She also manages to travel and enjoy adventurous bike rides quite often. How does she do it? It must be because she is Superwoman! Sara is a beloved member of our SREF family and we are truly honored to have her on our team.

Dear Matt,
I am writing an offer and trying to decide if the closing day should be the end of December or beginning of January. What do you recommend?
Yours Truly,
A Listing Agent

Dear Listing Agent,
You have to own the home and reside in it on or before December 31, 2023 to get homestead tax exemption for 2024. It can knock $50,000 off the assessed value for property taxes.
Regards,
Matt

New agents AND experienced agents, I highly recommend listening to our podcast because we cover all sorts of topics that you will definitely find both interesting and entertaining, even when we weren’t trying to be funny or educational. Our experiences are extremely relatable and you might get insight into how to find your own solutions based on one of our episodes. Plus, we want to hear from you! Let us know what you want us to cover, explain, discuss or define. There are so many moving parts in real estate. It would take a decade to discuss everything. What do you find extremely rewarding in our industry? What is your pet peeve? Have you ever wanted to quit real estate? What kept you going? Let us know. Currently there have been 102 episodes of the podcast. And if you’re up for it, come on our show! We do have as much (probably more!) fun as it sounds like we are having. ~ Staci Garcia
Visit www.RealEstateFinder.com/Podcast to get the latest insider information on market trends, and some of the tips, tricks, and techniques needed to make smart decisions and get the very best from this and any market!
