Why I sell real estate.
I could say because it is my job or career, It gives me an income.
However the bottom line is to help people achieve their dreams. The American
dream is to own a home. A home where you will spend many years in.
Bring up your family. Have family and fiends in to celebrate Holiday's
and Birthdays, Anniversary's, Family gatherings. I remember how great it
was to have family and friends in for a great Sunday dinner. This is
why I love selling a home to families.
It is great to sell $1,000,000 homes.
But to me it is more important to sell a $300,000 or $400,000 home to a
family who will spend a lot of great years living their Dream.

The different phases of the Real Estate market.
We have gone through the Bubble and collapse of the Real Estate market.
Know need to talk about that anymore.
Then we have what is called a Buyers Market. That is when you have an abundance of homes for sale on the market.
Then you have a Sellers Market. That is when we have low inventory or fewer homes currently for sale.
The bad part, right now is we are in a Sellers Market. Low Inventory of homes currently for sale.
There is good part to this. We have Buyers who are looking to purchase new homes now.
As it was a few short years ago, Home owners are not panicking to sell. If they are listing
their homes for sale it most likely is for reasons such as down sizing, relocating for a new job.
A relative passing.
I would like to say something about down sizing. I think this is true about most people. We become pack rats. We save everything we have ever bought traded or given. I ahve a friend who jsut sold his 6000 sq. ft. home and moved in a a 3000 sq ft. rental. Going to stay there a year then decide where he and his wife want to live. All I can tell you is this, Wife to Husband, " What where you thinking?)
Currently homes for sale last an average of less than 60 days. Buyers are more selective and
looking for a home they can truly call home.
For all your Real Estate Dreams for 2015

It's still about relationships.
Over the 14 or so years I have been in the South Florida Real Estate business, there have been many changes. And for those who worked in the business longer than me, you have seen even more.
I have seen the good and the bad. From a fairly easy going industry in early 2000, then the beginning of the Real Estate bubble, With banks loaning money to everyone and anyone. To builders building single family homes and condos like there was no tomorrow. To massive short sales and millions of homes
being foreclosed during the middle of the decade.That was the Bad.
The good part is this. The Real Estate market is coming back.
Sellers are basically selling because they may want to move or down size. Buyers are looking at stricter loan practices from banks Mortgage rates are still very low. And it looks like it will be for a long time. So only those who can afford to buy are buying. It is a Sellers market. Inventory is low. There isn't any greed on the part of sellers to think they are going to score.
This is where a Realtor advises his Seller on the right asking price. A realtor is there to help, work with the Seller. A Realtor will work hard to sell his listing. Yes we all profit by a sale. If a Realtor does his or her job it's more than a commission check.
You build a relationship with your buyer or seller. From the very beginning, to beyond the close.

Professional Teacher Artist Realtor
I have mentioned before I consider myself and I am sure all Realtors would called them self's Professionals.
As a professional I go to work everyday ready and dressed for business. I prepare myself to meet new and old clients whether they come into the office. or out of the office for a meeting. I am prepared to close a sale on a new home, get a listing agreement, get an offer on a new home for one of my clients.I am ready as a professional real estate agent doing something I love to do help clients and friends with all there real estate needs. And sometimes just being there to talk with them. My door is always opened. And everyday I show up ready to go.
I also consider myself an Artist. Being a restaurant owner and Chef I was always using my imagination to create a new dish for my menu. A dish that would make your taste buds explode and you craving more.So think about this. Have you ever looked at yourself as an artist. Think about this. You first make contact with you clients who are looking for a new home . They tell you what they are looking for, bedrooms, bathrooms, price range, pool, ocean view, condo, single family home. You go to you canvas, to us its the flat screen monitor, you search the MLS for what your clients have told you they wanted in a new home. You the artist, you are picking out your paints, your colors, the homes show your clients. You go out with your clients in search for that masterpiece, the home of there dreams. As you go from one home to another picking out the best features of each home you see, its like you are putting the beautiful colors to your canvas. Once you have found this perfect home for them and you are sitting at the closing table, all you have to do is sign your masterpiece. You the Artist. Maybe crazy, but its fun.
Now the Teacher. You have to educate your clients about this crazy market we have in this country today. Unlike anything I and I am sure most Realtors have ever seen before, with all the homes on the market, the short sales, the bank owned properties. We are selling in a different world. You as a teacher have to help them in making the right decisions, When you are showing homes you need to explain what is happening in the market today. The good, the bad and the ugly. I have seen in the last few months and for this time of the year here in Florida we have had an increase in buyers looking for great deals. Unaware of some of the problems with especially short sales, the length of time it could take and not get the approval of the sale because the offer is to low. People have the misconception that every home owner whose house in on the market is desperate to sell. Its not that way in most cases.
If I have a client and I have had, I do my best to tell them the right and wrong way to buy a house. I have to be the Teacher. I just hope they listen.
