st augustine real estate: Model Homes vs Staged Models... What's the Difference?
- 09/10/12 03:46 AM
Model Homes vs Staged Models... What's the Difference? I'm often asked what the difference between a model home and a staged model in new construction projects. For me, the answer usually comes down to two parts 1) Pricing (cost) 2) Demographics. For years interior designers have been the source for model homes. Recently that trend has shifted and more frequently professional stagers are being called in. Both of the above reasons intertwine and account for the shift. To understand the variables, we have to examine the traditional builder model. Builder models usually start off with story boards, … (17 comments)

- 08/07/12 12:14 PM
How much does a single day on market cost St Augustine home sellers? Think home staging is expensive? Try having a non-staged vacant home! I know the fear factor in a lot of homeowners is that they are already struggling to pay for all of the expenses that go along with vacancy, so staging just isn't an option. There just isn't any additional money available. Well, I would like to begin to get you to think about the real cost of an empty home on the market. What are your expenses?

Thinking about buying a home in St Augustine? Sorry, it's already sold I'm not crazy. "I'm sorry, that home has already been sold.," is the common response to home buyers when they decide, "I want to think about it." The St Augustine home market is starting to feel like a flash back of 2005. If a home looks good and is well priced, you can expect multiple offers in a matter of days. Right now I'm working with a client who wants to buy in a particular neighborhood. There is not a single listing that is not contingent or pending. If … (0 comments)
st augustine real estate: I'm buying new construction in St Augustine. I don't need a Realtor
- 07/25/12 02:38 AM
"I'm buying new construction in St Augustine. I don't need a Realtor." According to yesterday's morning office meeting, this is a common misconception from local buyers. According to the consenus, buyers believe that they will receive a better deal on new construction in St Augustine if they don't hire a professional to represent them. It sounds like buyers need to understand the job of a Realtor more thoroughly. Buyers will not receive a better deal by purchasing a new construction home on their own. In fact, frequently they will not receive as good of a deal. Often Realtors are aware … (2 comments)
