Who is the Best Real Estate Agent for You?
Who is the best real estate agent to buy or sell your house or condo?
REAL ESTATE LEADERSHIP
With over 20,000 real estate agents in Palm Beach County. One thing that divides them is technology. Constant changes in web design, SEO and social media make it nearly impossible to keep up. Most agents outsource tasks due to time or technical constraints but without understanding IDX data feed, listings may not broadcast to potential buyers thus costing sellers both time and money. With such competition I can’t spill the beans.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
I share my knowledge and skills by volunteering for local and international organizations.
- I commit to be recognized as a trusted adviser.
- I immerse myself into the local community.
- I sign up for volunteering and raise funds for charity.
- I connect with friends and groups on social media.
- I plan social events to connect people and enrich their lives.
LEADERSHIP SKILLS
Community involvement gives me in-depth local knowledge. As a professional real estate agent, I also strive to possess these highly valuable leadership skills:
TECHNICAL SKILLS
- Expertise in web design to rank high on search engines.
- Knowledge of imaging, blogging and social media tools.
- Strong ability to research, negotiate and interpret contracts.
PEOPLE SKILLS
- Engage in personal, social and professional networking.
- Ability to connect with people from various demographics.
- Sincere, trustworthy and immersed into the community.
BRANDING and MARKETING
- Represent trusted brand, professional sales and marketing style.
- Innovative communication and presentation skills.
- Ability to present concepts in multiple languages to people from different cultures.
SELLER TESTIMONIAL
“When my mother decided to sell… we chose Susanna… informed, responsible and committed to providing excellent customer service. We had a signed contract in less than a week. I would recommend Susanna without reservations …” – Donna P, Seller (2013)
BUYER TESTIMONIAL
“Susanna had to do a lot of explaining [in Swedish] about the buying process, negotiations, the real estate market and all the pit falls… She was very attentive to our needs and had answers to all our questions… and we are very satisfied with the house we finally bought, very much thanks to Susanna,” – Henric S, Buyer (2015)

Tequesta is a village surrounded by water: Loxahatchee River, Jupiter Inlet, Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and Atlantic Ocean. The Village of Tequesta (VoT) is the northernmost village in Palm Beach County with 6,000 annual residents. Part of VoT is located in Martin County. To the north Tequesta borders Jonathan Dickinson State Park and to the south the Jupiter Inlet with Jupiter Lighthouse and Museum.
THINGS TO DO IN TEQUESTA
Along Tequesta Drive and US1 you’ll find many quaint shops, Tequesta restaurants, delis and coffee shops – even the Tequesta Brewery. Local things to do include tennis, golf, sports fishing, diving, surfing, kite surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking at the Blowing Rocks Preserve and Coral Cove parks on the Jupiter Island beaches. With easy ocean access boating is very popular in Tequesta. Intracoastal marinas include JIB Club Marina, Blowing Rocks Marina and Jupiter Pointe Club. There is a public launch ramp south of Jupiter Inlet at Burt Reynolds Park. For children, there is Constitution Park – a large playground with basketball and skateboarding. Tequesta Park offers 45 acres of public land with a baseball field, tennis courts, basketball courts and park pavilions.

IS THE TEQUESTA AN INDIAN TRIBE?
Yes, the Tequesta (aka Tekesta) Indians lived in what’s today Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties. To the north were the Jaega (aka Jobe) Indians as in the town of Hobe Sound. To the west were the Calusa (aka Caloosa) Indians. Juan Ponce de León was the first European to encounter the Tequesta in 1513. The Tequesta Indians lived off deer, manatees, alligators, fish, shellfish and plants.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF TEQUESTA?
It sounds incredible but Tequesta is the result of one man’s vision. Charles Martyn visited Tequesta in 1955, bought 86 acres of land and developed what became Jupiter Inlet Colony. His crew found a Tequesta Indian mound of artifacts on the Jaega Indian land. Thus he named his second local development Tequesta Country Club. The average age of Tequesta residents has dropped dramatically in the 14 years that I have lived here. It has become a place where more and more parents want to raise their children. It’s a village for all ages with more and more restaurants and things to do.
ARE THERE ANY SCHOOLS IN TEQUESTA?
There are two private pre-schools and lower level schools but no public schools. First Presbytarian Church offers pre-school and Good Shepherd Episcopal Church offers pre-school and elementary school (K-6th grade).
PALM BEACH COUNTY SCHOOLS – Most of Tequesta belongs to the Jupiter school district – Jupiter Elementary or Limestone Creek Elementary, Jupiter Middle School and Jupiter Community High School.

Why Use Buyer’s Agent? $200,000 Question?
Buyer’s Agents have tools to establish Fair Market Value.
I was working with a family earlier this year to find a waterfront home with easy ocean access that could accommodate 3 boats between 30-60 feet. After exploring waterfront homes in three counties together, they found a home while driving around on their own. They contacted the listing agent directly on a direct Intracoastal waterfront home listed for $2.49 Million and negotiated to purchase it for $2.4 Million.
Commissions are paid by the seller and negotiated at time of listing not at time of sales contract.
Some buyers believe they can renegotiate the listing commission during the sales negotiation process. The Listing Agreement is a legal contract between listing agent and seller – BEFORE marketing the home.
Misconception of Saving Money.
The buyers throught they had saved $70,000 by going directly to the listing agent. Out of curiosity, I did a comparable market analysis (CMA). My CMA showed the fair property value was $2,150,000 unfurnished. Without an experienced Buyer’s Agent with tools and experience to research fair market value – the buyers overpaid $250,000 (less value of furniture).
Seek expert advice from a Buyer’s Agent so YOU don’t overpay!

Before Buying a House Choose Your Lifestyle
PREPARING TO BUY A HOUSE
– Choose Budget, Lifestyle and Location
BUDGET
Before… you start looking at purchasing a property find your realistic budget. If you are getting financing to purchase your home, condo or other real estate investment – get pre-approved. I would be happy to recommend reputable, experienced local lenders to you. If you are paying cash – gather and prepare proof of funds. You cannot make an offer on a short sale or foreclosure without being pre-approved by a lender or having proof of funds. Once you know your budget, we can start looking at lifestyles.

Florida Snowbirds are Buying for Next Season
This part of Florida has a shortage of rental properties. Due to the shortage of rentals in the Jupiter and Palm Beach area many Florida snowbirds are buying homes and condos early in the year for the following season to be sure they have a place to stay especially as we have a shortage of rentals.
What’s a ‘snowbird’?
Well, they are the seasonal winter residents who we have not yet persuaded to spend the entire year here and are lucky enough to have another home. Pssst, if you are considering investing here let me know… I know the area and local communities very well.
JUPITER Florida in High Demand
Jupiter Florida is in very high demand. There are MANY reasons!!
LOW CRIME
Have you ever visited the Trulia Local Crime Maps? Well if or when you do, you will see green areas on the map, orange areas on the map and bright red areas. I am sure you can guess which ones a safer than others. The nice thing about Trulia Local Crime Map for Jupiter is that it tells you what type of crime – noise, domestic, theft or dangerous, etc.
GOOD SCHOOLS
The North Palm Beach County schools have great ratings. In Palm Beach County, Boca Raton, Wellington and Jupiter are best ranked. If you are on the border or further north, most Martin County schools are ranked very high as well.
EMPLOYMENT
Most people in this area are self-employed. There is no real big business besides Florida Power and Light (FPL), a subsidiary of NextEra Energy, in Juno Beach. The opening of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) honors campus in Jupiter focusing on the medical field and Max Planck and Scripps Institute opening up next door invited endless subsidiary medical businesses.
LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
In Jupiter, many major league and minor league baseball teams practice at the Roger Dean Stadium in Abacoa. Fans come from all over the country to follow the Saint Louis Cardinals and others. With corals reefs off the coast, diving is a huge draw. Also surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, paddle boarding and fishing are very big. With the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) in Palm Beach Gardens, the area is flooded with international golfers and wanna-be golfers alike.
If you ask me, I may have a few more reasons to live here… I moved here for 1 year and have stayed 14 years so far…

Local Knowledge and Real Estate
Local Knowledge
I’ve lived in Jupiter for 16 years and in Fort Lauderdale for 2 years. I know many but not all communities between Palm Beach and Jupiter Island. I have sold over 30 homes and condos in Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and Saint Lucie counties. When you are looking for a new place to move or vacation ask yourself –
“What would I like 3 minutes and 15 minutes away?”
We decided to live in the quiet Village of Tequesta with 3 minute drive to Jupiter and Jupiter Island beaches and 15 minutes to Palm Beach Gardens restaurants and shops. I think that’s probably a good starting point in your search. Other people may opt for 3 minutes to a school or a golf course and 15 minutes to the beach. It’s all up to your lifestyle, budget and priorities. Here’s my overview of nearby communities –
Palm Beach Gardens (City) – Many great restaurants, shops, public and private golf courses, 15 min from PBI airport and Singer Island, Juno Beach and Jupiter beaches. Home to the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) and many top level golf courses and golf clubs such as Frenchmans Creek Beach & Country Club, Frenchmans Reserve, PGA National, Ballenisles Country Club, Country Club at Mirasol, Old Palm Golf Club and Old Marsh Golf Club.
Juno Beach (Town) – Quaint beach community with restaurants, shops, beachfront condos and walk-to-beach communities. Known for Juno Beach Pier – a public 990′ fishing pier and Loggerhead Marinelife Center which helps injured turtles recover before returning to sea. Home to prestigious Seminole Landing and Seminole Golf Club (#1 in Florida).
Jupiter (Town) – Located around Jupiter Inlet. Offers few direct beachfront condos, except Ocean Trail, as there are no buildings directly on the beach. Jupiter offers many walk-to-beach communities. Popular venues include Abacoa public golf course, Roger Dean baseball stadium, Maltz Theatre, Jupiter Yacht Club, Jupiter Ocean & Racquet (JORC) and Jupiter Bay tennis clubs. Jupiter is very popular for sports fishing and diving. Several beachside parks south of Jupiter Inlet. New outdoor walking and cycling project “The Riverwalk” underb way with shops, restaurants and mini ferry stops. Harbourside Place – new Intracoastal waterfront restaurant and shopping complex opened in December 2014. Now home of “The Woods Jupiter” – Tiger Woods’ restaurant. About to happen is the new Jupiter Village – a restaurant and shopping district connected to Jupiter Riverwalk. Did you know Jupiter was voted 9 of top 10 Seaside Villages in Coastal Living magazine in 2012? Jupiter and Tequesta are also home to many golf course communities.
Tequesta (Village) – North of Jupiter Inlet. Includes south end of Jupiter Island. The Village hosts a green market in season. Probably 15 restaurants and some small shops. 5-10 min drive to I-95 and Jupiter. 15 min to Palm Beach Gardens shops and restaurants. Locals enjoy fishing, golfing, boating, tennis, paddle boarding and kayaking. No thru traffic as Jonathan Dickinson State Park separates Tequesta from Hobe Sound. Small sections of Tequesta and Jupiter are in Martin County.
I have created many pages with THINGS TO DO. Here are a few – Baseball, beach, boat, cycling, restaurants, diving, fish, golf, kayak, kite surfing, paddle boarding, polo, shopping, snorkeling, surfing, tennis, windsurfing and yoga.
I would be happy to help you find a neighborhood and area that meets your interests.
“What do you want 3 minutes and 15 minutes away?”
Norwegian Airlines – Florida Real Estate
“I was honored when Norwegian Airlines invited me to be the featured Florida real estate agent in their inflight magazine ‘N by Norwegian’ to celebrate their new nonstop flights between Oslo (OSL) / Copenhagen (CPH) / Stockholm (ARL) and Ft Lauderdale (FLL) Florida in November 2013. Norwegian Air Shuttle – one of Europe’s fastest growing airlines with over 1.9 million passengers per month shipping 150,000 golf bags,” – Susanna Malmgren-Grubb (Sept, 2013)
Norwegian Air Shuttle is also starting nonstop direct flights with the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner airplanes to Orlando (MCO) in spring 2014. This was a great match between Norwegian Air Shuttle passenger interests and South Florida lifestyles – waterfront homes and condo, private and public golf courses and golf club communities close to beaches, surfing, diving, boating, shopping and great restaurants.

My Issue with Zillow
Zillow is a popular tool for buyers and sellers searching online to find the value of a particular property. If all homes were built by the same builder and of the same quality that may be the perfect tool. As with any electronic or general comparison tool that is not done ‘by-hand’ I have found that it has issues and shortcomings (but then people do too)…..
What do I mean with that? As a licensed Jupiter Florida real estate agent, I was creating a comparable market analysis (CMA) for a buyer of a single family home in Tequesta, Florida. There were several recent comps in the multiple listing service (MLS). I looked further into the tax records and saw that another property had sold privately. The home that had sold privately appeared to be owned by two individuals who were probably related. Each owner already owned half the home so when one of them bought the other one out the price was recorded as 50% of the home value. That home was then a comparison for future sales on Zillow, via the tax records and other automated systems. I am not for or against Zillow or similar companies in any way. This is simply an observation of what can happen when relying on automated tools and not real people.
Shortage of homes. Increase in jobs.
07/22/2015
In June 2015, real estate prices reached record highs as buyers saw a shortage of inventory.
The National Association of Realtors said sales of existing homes climbed 3.2 percent last month. Home sales increased 9.6 percent the past 12 months while number of active listings increased by 0.4%.
Median home prices climbed 6.5 percent over the past 12 months to $236,400, the highest level reported by the Realtors not adjusted for inflation.
Home-buying has recently surged as more buyers are flooding into the real estate market. High demand has not attracted more sellers into the market, causing tight inventories and increasing prices.
Only 5 months’ supply of homes were for sale in June, compared to 5.5 months a year ago and 6 months in a healthy market. Some areas are barely adding any new real estate listings.
Average properties sold in only 34 days in June. Limited supplies could slow sales in the next few months.
Rising home values are stretching the budgets of first-time buyers and owners looking to upgrade. As homes become less affordable, the current demand will likely taper off.
The job market was thriving in 2014 when 3.1 million jobs were added and on pace to add 2.5 million jobs in 2015.
Average 30-year fixed rates were 4.09 percent last week, according to the mortgage giant Freddie Mac. The average has risen from a 52-week low of 3.59 percent.

Jupiter Florida Real Estate | Jupiter Florida Condo and Homes for Sale
JUPITER FLORIDA
Jupiter Florida is a relaxed coastal town in northern Palm Beach County with 50,000 annual residents. In 2012, Jupiter made the top 10 list of America’s Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living Magazine. Jupiter is known for the brick red Jupiter Lighthouse located on Jupiter Inlet with easy access to the Gulf Stream and the Bahamas. The reefs off the inlet attract boaters, sports fishermen and divers alike. The many beaches and beach area parks offer free public parking and attract local and far away beach-goers, surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders. The Jupiter Island beaches – Blowing Rocks and Coral Cove Park – just north of Jupiter Inlet have rocky limestone formations in the surf while the southern side of the inlet is sandy. There are lifeguards on all public beaches. Certain sections of Jupiter Beach allow dogs. (See beaches.) Roger Dean Stadium is home of the Jupiter Hammerheads baseball team. During spring training fans from all over the country arrive to see the Saint Louis Cardinals. Jupiter has many private and public tennis clubs that participate in the various Palm Beach singles, doubles and mixed tennis leagues. The many private championship golf courses, executive golf courses and the public Abacoa Golf Club are home to recreational and PGA Tour pro-golfers. Many families locate to Jupiter because of the many ‘A’ rated local Palm Beach County schools and the highly regarded Jupiter Tequesta Athletic Association (JTAA) with dozens of youth sports including baseball, basketball, cheer leading, football, lacrosse, roller hockey, soccer, softball and volleyball.
I’ve lived in the Jupiter area for 10 years and have really seen it change. It was a quiet town few people had heard of unless they had family or friends in one of the classic local golf communities like Jonathan’s Landing or Admiral’s Cove. If you Googled Jupiter and Palm Beach in 2003 – Jupiter would appear as a distant cousin. Now both Jupiter and nearby Palm Beach Gardens are very popular destinations actually more popular but less known than Palm Beach. The social scene is quite different between Palm Beach and Jupiter. There’s much more publicity and glitz in Palm Beach. For outsiders, the Jupiter lifestyles may not be apparent as many functions are in one of the many gated golf course communities or private residences. Jupiter, Tequesta and Jupiter Island are laid back with an affluent flair – this is more and more sought after in our modern society. For the younger generations, there’s always Ft Lauderdale and Miami – perfect weekend getaways for those who live ‘up here’.

Ready to Upgrade or Downgrade?
Ready to Upgrade or Downgrade?
Now is an excellent time to do something about it! So many home owners live in bigger properties than they need. Perhaps their children have left for college and they just don’t need the space any more. Others may have growing families and need the extra space.
It’s a Seller’s Market – we have low inventory and prices have leveled out after the recession. Homes now trade for – fair market price. If the sellers are realistic about their asking price and selling price then buyers will flock to the opportunity while mortgage rates are super low. The seller would also be buying at a great time… It’s a perfect time for Buyers and Sellers to Upgrade or Downgrade!!

Buyer-Seller Price Equilibrium
What is “Buyer-Seller Price Equilibrium”?
It is a time in the real estate market cycle when Buyers are realistic about the fair market price. At the same time the Sellers are realistic about their asking price and selling price. For this ideal situation, I have coined the term “Buyer-Seller Price Equilibrium”.
Ideal state in the Florida real estate market
During a Buyer-Seller Price Equilibrium, the exchange of title and ownership of real property is done under win-win circumstances. Think of it as an ideal world, where the selling price of a property is at fair market price.
Luckily, for both buyers and sellers, this is also happening at a time with historically low mortgage rates below 4% interest. As the real estate market is in constant flux, unfortunately the current state will not last forever…
Now, is the perfect time for Buyers and Sellers to Upgrade or Downgrade.

Email Overload
Emails used to be fun and exciting – now we avoid 90% of them. I don’t do blasts!! I offer FUN Monthly eNews with local Florida lifestyles, events and real estate news.
If you are a Gmail user like me, then I hope you are taking advantage of the ‘labels’, the ‘filters’ by keyword or sender and ALL ‘stars’ to mark the import emails so you can return later.
Personally, I’m increasingly fast deleting emails with cliche old stuff. I deleted 3,000 emails this morning. Phew!!
What is a “Discount Point”?
Discount points are a one-time loan cost, where one discount point carries a cost equal to one percent of the first mortgage loan. For example, 1 discount point on a loan of a conforming loan limit of $650,000 would carry a cost of $6,500 to be paid at closing.
Discount points, are often tax-deductible, and can be paid with cash or added to the total loan amount.
Mortgage Rates Still Record Low
It is truly unbelievable that mortgage rates continue to remain below 4%. The 30-year mortgage rates averaged 3.87% last week – the 28th consecutive week with sub-4 percent rates. The 15-year mortgage rates averaged 3.11%.
Today, home buyers can purchase 10% “more home” than last year. So if you as a buyer qualified for a $400,000 home in June 2014, then you could probably afford $440,000 in today’s market.
If you think like me, you may want to know how that applies to you. Estimate that mortgages average $470/month for every $100,000. In addition, add HOA dues, property taxes and insurance. Some borrowers may need private mortgage insurance (PMI). I can help you find the HOA fees, estimated new property taxes and property insurance quotes.
I highly recommend to my buyers that they get pre-qualified or preferably pre-approved before looking for a home. It’s a fast moving market and they need to be ready to act.
It is a win-win time for both home buyers and sellers!!
I’d be happy to help you!! Please call me (561)827-2952 with questions.
Shortage of Rentals Creates More Buyers
In South Florida in general and North Palm Beach County in particular, the shortage of annual and seasonal rentals creates more buyers. The local real estate market is in a state of “buyer-seller price equilibrium” where the properties are sold and purchased for fair market price agreed by both buyer and seller as a win-win situation without a win-loose or loose-win.
When prospective tenants search for months and months without success due to low supply and high demand of rental listings they are increasingly interested in buying a property. Many buyers are cash buyers but the mortgage rates are also remaining at historical lows. This is a very special time in the real estate cycle where both buyers and sellers can close a deal and both parties feel good about having made the right decision.
