 Selecting Schools
Parents who are moving to Florida or are moving to a new school district should spend some time researching the school district and schools their children will attend. Initially, parents should determine which characteristics of a school and school district are most important for meeting the needs of their children. For instance, parents may be interested in the academic performance of students at the school, test scores, programs for special needs of students, courses offered, teacher turnover rates, the availability of special resources, the size of the school population, the number of students per class, dropout rates, graduation rates, and other information. Parents may also want to know how the school is regarded by parents whose students attend the school and how the school is regarded in the community.
There are a number of resources for information on Florida schools, including but not limited to the following:
> The Florida School Indicators Report at http://info.doe.state.fl.us/fsir/
> School District Data online information
> The School Advisory Council Report prepared for each school
> The school superintendent's office
> The Florida Department of Education web site: http://www.firn.edu
> Citizens familiar with the local schools
> Parents and teachers
> School principals
> Members of the School Advisory Council.
Accepting An Offer >Purchase Negotiations
If you are selling your home, you should be prepared for the day your first offer comes in. When your real estate agent calls to say there is an offer on your home, you will naturally get excited. When your agent describes the offer, you will probably experience an adrenaline rush. Whether the offer is good or bad, you should just remain calm--and discuss a counter-offer with your agent. The negotiations of a purchase begin with the buyer's ideal terms and a counter offer that communicates the seller's ideal terms.
A good agent will look beyond the price when evaluating an offer. If the buyers' financial qualifications are shaky or the offer includes potentially problematic terms or conditions, your real estate agent should be there to minimize any risk to you and to address these items in your counter-offer. Your agent's job is not to make a decision for you, but to be sure that you understand fully what the offer includes and what is expected.
