The Offer that wasn't

April 21st, 2009

I should have known! When you start your week off on Monday morning at the dentist the rest of the day is not going to be good. Sat in the stupid chair for almost 2 hours…You know whoever comes up with the silent drill will be a cabillionaire! At least offer earplugs. You know " would like something before we start, water, earplugs?" I'm pitting out just thinking about it! Anyway where wa ...

I murdered a free trees today..For Nothing

April 16th, 2009

I still don't know where the day went! But I do know that I need to start using more recycled paper... I wrote up 3 different offers today. So that's 5 pages each offer, 2x we are talking 30 pages of paper....All in the garbage they go..Not one was accepted! Let's not forget the seller's disclosure which is 3 pages! so that's another 9! That's got to be a foot of a tree just gone! Oh well a ...

Turf war in Real Estate

April 14, 2009

So there is this neighborhood we have a fair amount of listings in, and their is another agent that HAD a fair amount of listings in the same neighborhood. ( get my drift?). It seems he may be very upset about his status. I tell people he has napoleon disease. You know when they are about 4'2 and they go around with this attitude to make up for the lack in height...Anyway ...

Open house Etiquette

April 14th, 2009

Do you sometimes wonder where the day went? I do! My kids are on spring break this week, so very difficult to work and find a place for them to go.... This week it's tennis camp. Mother of the year last year when I had a closing and I sent them to tennis camp during a thunder storm! Was working at an open house today, when a really nice couple came it. The home I was in is listed at 8 mi ...

Saturday before Easter and I drove from Naples to Vero Beach for the weekend. I thought about not going today, I had a showing on a great property that the buyers have already seen it once and the client is trying to persuade her husband to go up another 100k then they wanted to spend. So I debated do I go, or do I beg Mike to show it. I decide to beg Mike. I heard it ...

I am now going to make a profound statement! I have categorized the real estate market here in Southwest Florida is two sections. Drum roll please.
They are NEED and WANT. Buyers that NEED a new home and Buyers who WANT a waterfront home in Naples or Beachfront in Sanibel/Captiva. And when I say WANT I mean they WANT the deal of the century.

Sellers are also NEED and W ...

Another beautiful day here in Southwest Florida! It was 80 degrees and no humidity. The beaches and water in Naples was perfect! Spent time today with some of my favorite clients, Betsy and Richard from Annapolis. They are the typical buyers here in Southwest Florida. Close to retiring, and wanting to take advantage of the prices here. A few years ago waterfront prope ...

Well the day started early with a buyer wanting to see if he could get in to see a house before he flew back to London. His flight left at 10:00am! Luckily we could. He's going to let me know tomorrow. Here in Naples and the west coast of Florida we have a lot of foreigners that come and buy here. I am actually from Canada and have been successful by helping buyers o ...

I thought I was going to have a pretty quite day today, I should have known better! My first mistake was driving to our office on Sanibel. I have to say though,that you could be having the worst day and you drive over that bridge to Sanibel Island and you can feel your body relaxing. It's so beautiful! White sand, green/blue water, boats racing by. Some day's that occ ...
