bella vista condo in daytona beach shores: Honestly, Why Do I Need An Agent?
- 08/09/11 09:28 AM
This is a story from the peak of the market, but with the first signs of slowing market. We were negotiating a condo unit in Bella Vista in Daytona Beach Shores. Developer was a straightforward guy, and it was a pleasure to negotiate, no tricks, arm twisting, and all that. This somehow sent a wrong signal to the Buyer, who came with demands, and with every demand answered, now wanted more and more... and when everything he wanted was met, he demanded another discount and the developer said «No». So, the buyer walked away. The pasture was not green enough...

bella vista condo in daytona beach shores: Isn't It Overpriced?
- 08/07/11 04:59 PM
My clients came to see this three-bedroom/three baths direct oceanfront unit in Bella Vista in Daytona Beach Shores.
The view is excellent, view east to the ocean and north, making it a panoramic spectacular view.
Unit is in perfect condition.
They liked the unit. The question is: «Isn't it overpriced?»
I know why the question came. Just yesterday another unit, just next to it (not direct oceanfront) was closed for just under $400K.
So, is it overpriced?
There are 7 units for sale in Bella Vista and this particular unit for $421 is the least expensive unit. Next unit just one … (14 comments)

bella vista condo in daytona beach shores: The Magic of ActiveRain. A True Story
- 04/10/11 08:05 AM
I have been on AR for quite some time, and have sent links to some of my blogs to customers numerous times. I would usually receive an e-mail thanking me for the links, they would comment in the e-mail but they never commented on the blogs.
Imagine my surprise when I received this comment on my Catching The Sun blog:
Dear Jon
Thanks for helping us to buy our 2nd home in Daytona Beach Shores, You and your family are wonderful people. You are honest , smart and never too pushy. Also thanks for putting the sunset and sunrise pictures, … (68 comments)

bella vista condo in daytona beach shores: Catching The Sun
- 04/03/11 05:35 AM
Yesterday I had a funny experience, nothing dramatic, but something I did not have before. My clients are not avid Florida vacationers, and don't have a good idea of everything Florida, that so many northerners brag about. They are very interested in this gorgeous 3 bdr/3 baths 9th floor direct oceanfront unit in Bella Vista Condominiums in Daytona Beach Shores.
When I say that sunsets for me are more beautiful than sunrises, they are confused as they know since school years that sun does not «sink» into the Atlantic Ocean, so how can it be beautiful.
There are many reasons why I … (22 comments)

bella vista condo in daytona beach shores: Time & Timing in Real Estate
- 03/28/11 08:12 PM
Time is just time, but timing in Real Estate is everything. Where I consistently fail is explaining to my customers that what they see on the market today is not going to be there tomorrow. Not necessarily the market will become hotter, just not the same.
And there is a chance that it may change not to your liking. I am getting e-mails from customers who looked at condos or condo-hotels with me a year or two ago, and now they are asking whether the prices fell even lower. Not necessarily. There are still some low prices, but there are … (26 comments)

My out of state client is looking at units in Bella Vista Condominium, one of the best new condominium buildings in Daytona Beach Shores and in Daytona Beach Area. All units are 3 bedroom. He is looking at line 07, which direct oceanfront with breathtaking views, etc.

He is concerned that I do not know the prices. … (12 comments)

bella vista condo in daytona beach shores: $450,000-Long Story…
- 03/04/11 12:41 PM
This story started December 6, 2010, when we saw that a penthouse unit in Bella Vista Condominiums, a really luxury oceanfront condo in Daytona Beach Shores, was scheduled for foreclosure auction (read Daytona Beach Shores Penthouse on Chopping Block)
For me it is interesting to go back and read what I wrote then. To see what I thought might happen, and then look at it from today’s perspective. It shows whether I was naïve, or foolish, or insightful. It is a terrific learning tool.
At this point there was a unit scheduled for the auction, the Listing agent, who was adamant … (15 comments)
