I want to use our new Living in Vero Blog to keep our current and future clients updated on what is going on with our Vero Beach Real Estate market.
First off, it’s been a pretty wild couple of months for me. The best thing that has happened to me in a while turns out to be I was forced to look for new office space late last fall. After much brooding (hey, it’s how I do things!), I finally settled on a great office built by Helmut House Construction. I fought the island vs. mainland issue, and common sense won out. If you look at what is selling in Vero Beach, the bulk of it is on the mainland. So our new spot at 1705 19th Place Suite C-1 is a quick jump to anywhere in Vero. We can be on the island in ten minutes or less, or all the way south to Falcon Trace, or up north to Waterway Village. Our great sign is also now up, so we’re much easier to find than the last place we set up shop.
More importantly, after much wooing…. Cheryl Goff joined Starfish Real Estate a few weeks ago. And she has been great!!! Cheryl is an experienced Vero Beach Buyers Agent, with over six years experience in our market. So how is the move going for her so far? Well, she commented the other day that she has shown more homes in the last two weeks than in the previous six months. I’ll take that as a sign of good things to come.
As I try to shift more into the broker role, I’ve still been quite busy with a few clients. Two of them – a couple from NY, and another couple from Orlando, have been intent on taking advantage of the great opportunities now in Vero Beach for a direct oceanfront single family home. In some cases, prices are MILLIONS less than just a couple years ago. Another couple from Canada have zoned in on Grand Harbor and Tarpon Island Club….
Business wise, our web traffic is up 300% or so. The phones are ringing all the time, and sometimes we even answer them! I’m still on the lookout for extraordinary talent to deal with the demand…(So you snoopy Realtors out there reading this – send me somebody already! And they better be great!).
We’re working on a great promotion for our potential new clients this season. Think of it as Starfish TARP money. Want to know more….login to our site and get in the loop. Till next time..
