Position of subject before or after verb?

Position of subject before or after verb?

I have the same question as Ryan B., below. “ In the last 2 examples, the subjects are:

Mis cortinas nuevas y las negociaciones.

Obviously, the position of the subjects is different. Is there any reason or do they have the same meaning?

Could, for example, the first 3 sentences be written as..

Secretarias con experiencia se buscan.

 El periódico barato se vende aquí.

Apartamentos de lujo se venden en la playa.

?

Por fin...

Could the last two sentences be written as ..

Se han hecho mis cortinas nuevas en dos días.

 Se harán las negociaciones pronto.
