naple homes: When a Home Doesn’t Sell, Two Rules before Listing Again - 01/29/16 05:26 AM
Suppose you had done everything right: interviewed several Naples & Fort Myers real estate agents and compared what they told you; prepped your property to near-perfection before the professional photographer’s arrival; confirmed all the descriptive details before they appeared in the local MLS listings…yet six months later, the place still hadn’t sold.
Your agent had done a reasonable job, it seemed—yet the results were disappointing. Not nearly enough showings for one thing. And even though the marketing materials seemed sufficient, the response had been, in the end, weak. What do you do now?
There are several guidelines to follow that will increase the … (0 comments)

naple homes: The Question: Is Now a Good Time to Sell a Naples or Fort Myers Florida Home? - 01/29/16 05:03 AM
“Is now a good time to sell?”
A Naples or Fort Myers area home is never put up for sale on a whim. Although outside events can conspire to control the timing of that kind of major real estate venture, in most cases, the sale or purchase of a home happens on a timetable the buyer or seller thoughtfully works out. That can be when a move will least interfere with everything else that’s going on (school and career schedules are often the ruling considerations). Or, it can be when surrounding conditions seem particularly auspicious.
The answer to the “is now … (0 comments)

naple homes: Something Worth Keeping in Mind: Listings Don’t Wilt! - 01/21/16 07:31 AM
 
It’s probably inevitable (and may have something to do with the way our brains are wired) that when most people start looking for a home in the area, they’re automatically drawn to the new Naples & Fort Myers listings first. Let’s face it: all things being equal, who wouldn’t choose a new car over a used one? That’s not to say experience hasn’t taught us that ‘new’ isn’t always the best choice. Last year, NBC’s ‘new’ live version of “The Sound of Music” is one example where the new model couldn’t hold a candle to the original (even if we had … (0 comments)

naple homes: Uncovering the Origins of 184 Things a Real Estate Agent Does - 01/21/16 07:24 AM
As its name clearly implies, The 184 Things a Real Estate Agent Does for You is an exhaustive list of the actions a  real estate agent is called upon to perform on behalf of a client. It is an authentic real estate Golden Oldie. Whenever someone wonders aloud what it is that Naples real estate agents do to earn their commissions, many of we agents have the option of digging around in a drawer for a wrinkled printout of The 184 Things. If there were a Real Estate Hall of Fame, The 184 Things would be sure to have its own … (0 comments)

naple homes: One Reason there is No New Collier or Lee County Real Estate Bubble - 12/03/15 10:44 PM
The possibility that a Naples Fort Myers or Cape Coral real estate bubble might be forming again is a subject that draws everybody’s attention. For all of us who went through the subprime mortgage mess and drop-off in Collier & Lee Counties real estate prices, the possibility that the current ongoing rebound might be evidence of another price bubble is a matter of serious concern. For anyone who bought their home near the 2006 peak—then had to wait for a decade before its nominal market value returned—it was an unpleasant interlude. Even if any ‘loss’ was actually only a paper abstraction, … (0 comments)
