Is It Easier To Sell Your Home Yourself?

To the ladies out there: I know you've all been there when you cheap out on a haircut and you end up getting exactly what  you paid for and less of what you asked and hoped for.  I am constantly having to learn this lesson throughout time that sometimes it's worth it to just spend the extra money . This same philosophy applies to real estate. When you're faced with hiring a realtor or doing it yourself, trust me, just hire the professional. You wouldn't cut your hair yourself. So why would you sell your home yourself? 

Many might think that a Realtors job is easy. "Oh I don't need a realtor. I'll just post my home on the MLS and call it good." You think it will sell easy, right? Wrong. Do you know the current market? Do you know what price to list…

E-mail Responses To Every Type of Client

E-mail Response Templates for Every Real Estate Client Type

As Realtors, you deal with all type of clients. You have buyers, sellers, investors, etc. Sometimes things go awry and whether it's your fault or not, dealing with an upset client can be difficult. A lot of times when you get that e-mail you don't know how to respond appropriately so it can be beneficial to have some templates set in place for when the time comes. 

Here are some e-mail templates we think you can benefit from having, but remember to change them up to fit your personality and the client. Personalization is key when sending an e-mail, especially now, when people are getting bombarded with marketing e-mails daily. The last thing you want to do is to sound scripted.

How National Coffee Day Can Affect Your Business

In honor of #NationalCoffeeDay, I thought I'd write about how coffee is "life" in every aspect imaginable, even, yes, in your business. 

Coffee isn't just freshly ground heaven, it's an easy gateway to success. Here's how:

1. It builds strong relationships (no pun intended). 

I always say building relationships is the cornerstone to being a successful real estate agents and I stick by that claim. Sitting down and having coffee with a past client, existing client, future client, gives you a chance to connect on a deeper level than just business. Selling how great you are at real estate only goes so far. Sharing a laugh or talking about family and experiences  creates a life long client. It'll pay off. 

2. It creates new relationships.

Real Estate Market Post Irma: Is it over for Florida?

September 10, 2017, Florida was hit with Irma, a hurricane that would forever change the lives of many. That much we know, but will it forever change the future of real estate in Florida, as well?

Irma has definitely affected real estate in a short term sense. Deals that were expected to close in September have been delayed due to the storm. However, The New Home Spot didn't see  any deals broken which is a great sign for the future. "I've seen a crazy amount of inquiries come through about our Anglers at Sombrero project located in Marathon, FL. People still want to live in paradise but they are recognizing the importance of having a home constructed to handle these types of hurricanes. Our homes in The Keys are on the water, but because we've…

Homes Surviving Hurricanes

Did Building Codes Save Florida Homes?

It’s indisputable that hurricane Irma effected so many people’s lives in the worst way imaginable. While many were left with no home, others were left with missing family members. Our hearts go out to those families that were deeply affected and we are active and doing our part to help in any area that we can.

There’s a lot of Irma hype filling up our Facebook newsfeeds right now but one article stood out. Realtor.com made a good point in one of their blogs. Here’s a recap:

Michael and Stephany Carr live in Naples in a home built before 2002 building codes. If you know any hurricane history, you know that 3 years after those codes were mandated, Wilma ripped through Florida. Many homes were destroyed…
