As I walk every morning I have come to expect to see some some scary things. I am amazed at times over what people will (or will not wear) when they take the trash out in the early morning hours. I wonder if they forgot that the time change last week makes it daylight earlier!
One man around the corner always calls my dog a bulldog although he is a Boston Terrier!
And then there is older gentleman down the street who I fiirst met as he was shuffling down the driveway to get his newspaper.
I offered to bring it to him but he snarled in a friendly way instead.
Now I see it as my challenge to circle the block before he makes it down the drive and back in the house - a race I usually win!
Just as he declined my offer of assistance so do many FSBO (for sale by owner) sellers.
Some folks are independent and want to do everything for themselves. I can understand this for some FSBO sellers. Some do succeed - 15% according to some surveys.
Some eventually decide it is not worth the hassle and call a real estate professional.
In the Viera, Rockledge and Suntree areas of Brevard County, Florida I have been fortunate to work with several FSBOs. I have some FSBO reference materials which I gladly give them in the interim.
If they need me, I am there - just as I will gladly walk the gentleman's newspaper up the drive to him if he asks.
If you are buying or selling a home or condo in Brevard County, Florida, call. If you are a "FSBO" in Viera, Suntree or Cocoa Beach - anywhere in Brevard County - call me!
