real estate: List Price of Short Sales Often Misleading - 05/19/08 11:36 AM

It happens every day.
I receive a call from someone searching for a home or condo in Sarasota. They have found what seems to be an incredible opportunity - every other unit is $300K, this one is $150K!
Invariably, it is listed as a short sale.
Now, I am not claiming … (0 comments)

real estate: Sarasota Buyer Agents - 04/07/08 02:30 PM

You are driving around, looking at properties. You see a great home, in a great neighborhood. Excited to see inside, you dial the number on the sign out front...But WAIT. The listing agent on the sign likely represents the Seller's interest, not yours. Their job is to sell the home with … (0 comments)

real estate: Siesta Key Real Estate - Top 10 Deals - 04/05/08 11:03 PM

I am a Buyer Agent. I represent ONLY buyers, and I keep a close eye on the deals and bargains available for them. I do not list properties, and these are not my company's listings. I have no incentive to push these properties, except that in my opinion, they represent some of the best deals on Siesta Key this week. If … (0 comments)

real estate: Siesta Key Real Estate - Really, It's Time - Buy Now - 04/03/08 01:14 PM

I know, the title sounds a bit pushy. Throughout my real estate career, I have resisted the "used car salesman" approach to sales. I have always adopted the policy that if I simply show Siesta Key, people will buy without the hard sell. But over the last 18-24 months, as has … (0 comments)

real estate: You Don't Have to Be Rich to Live on Siesta Key - 03/27/08 09:55 AM

Or Lido Key, for that matter.
Prices for properties on Sarasota's Keys has come down considerably over the last several years, as they have in most places. But this is absolutely the best time in recent memory to pick up your second home or retirement property on Siesta or Lido Key.
With interest rates and prices low, and … (0 comments)

real estate: Sunny in Sarasota - 03/25/08 10:24 PM

The Sarasota Association of Realtors released the following to the press today:
February property sales rebound by 28 percent in Sarasota
Pending sales also very high, a good indicator for stronger market ahead.

As we … (0 comments)

real estate: Get it in Writing - Always - 03/25/08 08:40 AM

I am developing a reputation.
Agents who work with me know that every detail that even has the slightest possibility of biting me in the rear end, goes in writing. Seems intuitive, doesnt it? But to me, I have found too many people willing to "forget" they said something. I call … (10 comments)

real estate: "Season" In Sarasota - The Good with the Bad - 03/21/08 10:33 AM

Season is that time of the year, usually Christmas through Easter, that our town balloons in population and visitors, making parking spaces rare, streets congested and wait times at restaurants interminable.
I have been known to grumble a bit, as I am forced to give up my noonday beachwalks for lack of a place … (4 comments)

real estate: No Need to Sell Siesta Key - 03/20/08 07:22 PM

Back in my previous life, I worked in product development. I used to tell the designers "Give me something good, because I am a terrible salesperson - I can only sell what I REALLY BELIEVE IN"
And as a real estate agent, my philosophy is the same. I want to really, really … (0 comments)
