Educating the Armchair Quarterbacks
by Paul Kitchen
I was reminded recently that it had been a couple months since my last update. At that time, we had just moved into our beautiful new office space at 40 Royal Palm Pointe, and were sitting at 25 homes or so sold. A couple of months later, and we’re sitting at over 40 Homes Sold or under contract. We’re rocking and rollin’ to be sure. Also, to date we’ve been known around town as sort of a Buyer’s Central, due to our Internet marketing. Things have started to shift in that department as well, as we now have a number of Vero Beach Listings. Just in the past few weeks, Starfish Real Estate’s mind share seems to be rapidly on the rise. We’ve been told that we seem to be a fresh alternative for local Vero Beach sellers, who are ripe for a new approach to getting their homes sold. And when you think about it, it’s pretty simple. What do Sellers want most? Buyers of course! And where do Buyers go first to research potential homes? The Internet. And who is virtually everywhere you look, for virtually every subdivision, street, and house number? You guessed it: Starfish Real Estate. As our visibility increases, we hope you too will drop by our new office to say hello and see how Starfish Real Estate’s approach to buying and selling homes might help you.
On the local market front, what are we seeing? Well, if I send a blast to my mailing list and say that we’ve passed the bottom, I usually get a stern lecture from those armchair quarterbacks who think they know our market better than we do. That’s OK, and it’s certainly better for our clients who appreciate our expertise, as they’re the ones getting amazing deals today on Vero Beach Real Estate. Just the same, we have certainly passed the bottom at certain price points. If you’ve been dragging your feet, particularly in the lower price ranges, you need to get off the fence immediately and talk to one of my buyers agents. They will tell you about the clients they are currently working with who just can’t find a house in their price range. To purchase one of these great deals, you have to be ready to move quickly, be pre-qualified for a mortgage, have proof of funds for a cash offer, and many times be willing to write an offer on a home you haven’t even seen.
Give us a ring at 1.800.793-7304 to discuss the market anytime and some of the strategies we’re using to get the deal done. Find out how we’re different. You’ll be glad you did!
