Orlando Homes and Lifestyles Helping consumers make the best decision possible whether they are looking to make a real estate purchase or a sale.

Making the transaction fast, stress free and for the best price possible. Since going into private practice in 1988, John Falto quickly became one of the leading financial consultant’s in New York City. His workshops on “Sending your kids to College without going bankrupt or crazy” and “Make more, keep more” have been widely attended by families and business owners alike in New York City. John’s c

olumn “Money Matters” has appeared in local (Brooklyn, New York) papers such as the GREENLINE, THE GREENPOINT GAZETTE, THE SOUTH SHORE STAR as well as the national magazine, HOME OFFICE COMPUTING. In fact his current newsletter has a private circulation of over 400, countrywide, and his websites gets hundreds of hits daily. John received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Polytechnic and also a degree in business from the New York City Technical College with a specialty in accounting and marketing in 1981. Since then he has added certificates and licenses in real estate, individual and corporate taxation, consumer credit consulting, finance & mortgage brokerage, insurance such as life, accident, health and property & casualty, as well as variable investments. This has allowed John to be a fountain of information and help to thousands of people, in and around 8 states, including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and 4 countries. John has described himself as a “financial engineer that creates solutions for people to help them create and protect income”. John is a firm believer that real estate whether their own home, or part of a portfolio, should be a part of everyone’s financial plan, and that home ownership is very possible. He worked several years with the Century21 franchise as well as an exclusive agent for a luxury home builder. He has worked with real estate investors, but most importantly he has shown buyers how to find a nice home and save thousands on their mortgage and to sellers has shown them how to sell their homes quickly and for top dollar, each with avoiding undue stress with carefully laid out marketing plans and strategies. In 2003 John made Orlando, Florida his new hometown, where he lives with his wife, his two daughters, their dog Midnite (no longer with us), and now two Guinea Pigs (Lilo and Luna). John’s hobby when he is not helping people improve their bottom line is spending quality time with his family and improving his skills at tactical action games such as lazer tag, airsoft and paintball. In 2005 John started teaching with the Florida Mortgage Academy teaching students how to pass the state licensing test, and how to become successful in the business. In 2008 he spearheaded a new program with the FMA to teach Realtors better sales techniques and the new hot topic, Real Estate Investing. In 2009 he moved his real estate practice to ZIP Realty and is a big believer in their business plan which allows consumers almost unlimited access to real estate related information. In 2012, he became a member of a joint effort under HR3648 to help distress property owners save their homes and avoid a public foreclosure. Now in 2013 he has joined with Property Outlet LLC to help buyers, sellers and investors better position themselves in a volatile market.

With buyers having access to so many online pricing tools, they think they know the value of available homes. Although these models are often flawed and do not show the real market value, buyers still use them. If your numbers don't compare, you as a seller, have a problem.

Unfortunately, a lot of sellers today are setting their asking price too high. That’s leading to an uptick in price cuts.
