New Year, New Real Estate Solutions

At the beginning of every year, we always find ourselves contemplating all of the things that we could have done differently last year. Some of us also plan goals for the New Year and project how we are going to accomplish new feats in the year to come. For the majority of us, these goals have a financial focus; save more money, cut back on unnecessary expenses, and plan for retirement, etc.

 

When you ask most people who they would turn to for financial advice, most people would say their financial planner, banker, and maybe even a family member or friend.

 

I would be very surprised if the answer was ever ‘a Realtor’. Why would a Realtor have any knowledge of how to help you achieve your financial goals? The answer is simple, your house.

 

For the majority of people, their home is their largest asset. That wonderful place that we call home is not just a roof over our heads, but a sizable financial investment on our part.

 

Many homeowners have tried to sell their current home in today’s market, but they have unfortunately been unsuccessful. The market is a difficult place to navigate right now, but it is not without potential and opportunities on both sides of the closing table. As a homeowner and Realtor, I have been doubly affected by the drop in housing prices, but I have seen signs of improvement in the Central Florida market, especially Celebration homes, over the past 12 months, and the inventory of homes on the market has shrunk dramatically.

 

There have been several times over the past year where I have sold homes that other companies could not, for example 529 Greenbrier Avenue & 719 Eastlawn Drive in Celebration. The reason that I was successful in the face of a down market is simple ‐ personalized attention.

 

As a boutique real estate firm, we offer a level of customer service that I truly believe is unique and, as the track record shows, effective. In a competitive market like this, it is extremely important to have an agent who has their finger on the pulse of the market. I should also note that three of the homes I sold this year were record high prices for their neighborhoods, Bellalago and Celebration. You can also move to the place that is right for you now thanks to the affordability in the market and the low interest rates.

 

The moral of the story is, these goals are not out of your reach, and I can help you achieve them. Whether you want to downsize to reduce costs, purchase a retirement home while prices are low, sell your home to relocate out of the area, or buy the vacation place that you and your family have always wanted, I want to be your Realtor.

 

We have a wonderfully effective marketing plan that we cater to each property that we list, and we can be reached any time to set up an appointment to interview us.

 

The New Year, 2011, is here. Let’s make it great!
