What year did you become a real estate agent?
The agent has not answered this question.
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
That is an odd question. I have been selling real estate in Florida for four years, but have been "i
What is the average home price in your market?
Average off water price is about $250k and average on water price is probably about $500k.
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
There are numerous NEW developments all over the county. However, alot of them have stopped building until the current inventory is bought up. And the builders are offering STEEP discounts to get it moving.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
I love walking in the door of a house I am showing and know, right away, "this is the house my client is looking for". Then of course the negotiations are always a lot of fun.
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
Right now, having to tell clients that the house they bought two years ago has lost 30% of its value, or the vacant land they bought is now only worth 25% of what they paid. But I always tell them to hang in there. The market will come back when the inventory is used up.
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
This might not be a success story, but one time I was showing a triplex I had listed, and the key to the front door, which was the largest and nicest of the three units, would not work. With the owners permission, of course, I found a window slightly open, I reached in and turned the crank to open it alittle more, and had the client boost me up and into the window so I could unlock the front door. The client was working with another agent at the time, but was so impressed that I was willing to do that to sell a property, they called me months later to list a home of theirs.
What is your best characteristic?
Quick response to a phone call or email. And always getting the right answer using any and all resources.
Who or what inspires you the most?
I hate to say it, but to be truly honest, $$$$. I guess I really didn't say it, did I?
What is the best advice you ever received?
If you aren't 100% positive of the answer to a clients question, admit it and find the correct answer.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Right here in sunny beautiful Southwest Florida.
