  I know in our hot market that well priced, well presented properties tend to go under contract VERY quickly - sometimes within the first day, depending on the price point.I've shifted my thought process to check the "Hot Sheet", our local MLS term for new listings, virtually every change, from once a day to several times per day.Why is this important for buyers and sellers?A new home for buyers is an opportunity, a new listing for sellers is new competition.  Example: a listing I'm bringing to the market required a price revision based on a new listing that had better systems (roof, HVAC) than mine.It's important to keep on top of all the market nuances, and sometimes that means checking on the market activity much more frequently.How often do you check your MLS's version of the "Hot ...

Rightsizing is about expanding options and defining purposeful new directions.     The goal isn't about tossing things. It's to feel good about the decisions, and the life you are consciously choosing for yourself.  Taking control of your stuff, rather than letting your stuff control you, is a huge step towards defining and loving your life, rather than merely living it.   Don't be a storage unit for others. If friends or relatives have left things for you to store, it's time to ask them to pick them up! Or, arrange to have them shipped. You may need to be tough and set a firm deadline, after which you will donate the items.    If you are in the Coastal Areas of Jacksonville, FL (Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Mayport, Ponte Vedra Beach and St. Augustine, I can help ...

There is a lingering question when home staging is considered as to whether it is better to use the seller's furniture, sell the property vacant, or to sell it fully (or partially) staged. While our Jacksonville based home staging company tries to use the seller's furniture when possible, sometimes it doesn't present the best option for getting the highest price. When the seller's furniture competes with the architecture of the home, or works against the likely demographic, it is often better to rent furniture. The end goal is to present the home in the best possible light. When the seller's furniture competes with the architecture of the home, or works against the likely demographic, it is often better to rent furniture.

I love spring. ABSOLUTELY love spring. Here in Jacksonville Beach, FL, we get spring a little bit differently than others: some years we have a great long spring, other years we have  a very short spring, and go right into Simmer Season. No, that is not a typo: our summers are simmer time to me. It's hot, humid, and if there is no sea breeze, you feel tres warm. I see spring as most others do: a time for renewal, re-engagement, re-energize. It's almost impossible not to with the birds chirping, the trees & plants showing their green sprigs of new life. Here is my list of ideas for Springing Into A New Attitude: Read more books. I used to read a lot more than I do now, and I miss it. It's healthy for the mind, and it is a great conversation starter. Workout more consistently. A few years...

As many of you may know, I'm buried deep in the Certified International Property Specialist class this week. Today is the last day  I took the full week, all five days: it's tough to be in class for a week, but it's sometimes tougher to get all the required classes in under a particular timeframe if you spread them out.  One of the HUGE advantages of taking classes at my local association NEFAR (Northeast Florida Association of Realtors) is for the designation classes, such as this CIPS, breakfast and lunch were included as part of the registration fee. Aside from being convenient (it's tough to get in, eat, and back on a 30 minute lunch break), it offers extended networking, and shows the creativity of the staff in choosing menus.  So, what did we have?  Since it's an international cla...

For both buyers & sellers, brokerage agency is an important piece of their real estate transaction.  This is how a Realtor can represent either a buyer or seller. The "standard" (meaning what the state presumes to be the most popular form of agency) is Transaction Brokerage (brokerage and agency are one and the same).  The duties/responsibilities under Transaction Brokerage/Agency are:  Dealing honestly & fairly. Accounting for all funds. Using skill, care & diligence in the transaction. Disclosing all known facts that materially affect the value of residential real property and are not readily observable to the buyer.  Presenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless a party has directed the licensee previously otherwise in writing. Limited confidentiality, unless wai...

I just met a photographer at my new listing to take photos. Why don't I just take those photos myself? Because I don't have a $7000 camera like he does. I don't have the same "eye" he has. I don't have the professional photo editing software he has. I don't have the skill he has. I know I "could" take my own photos, however, I know I'm not a professional photographer, despite the desire I have to be better at it. At the end of the day, I would rather spend the money (in this case $115) for a professional photographer to send me the best shots of the property and a virtual tour. I believe it not only saves me time and money in the long run, but it's the best representation of the property, and in today's digital age, having the best photos to link to the listing as soon as it goes live j...

Developers have just closed on what will be the Beach area's newest Development named Atlantic Beach Country Club. The former Selva Marina Clubhouse, pool and tennis courts are to be razed to build the new Clubhouse, Pool and Tennis Courts and make way for 178 new homes at the Beach.  The 170 acres that belonged to Selva Marina Country Club was purchased for $4.3 million, according to the article in the Jacksonville Business Journal. Selva Marina has been around since the 1970s, and is a very popular Beach Golf Country Club community. There will be 178 new homes offered for sale, which is a rare opportunity anywhere at the Beach. Lot prices will range from $165,000 to $475,000, with finished homes ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000, according to Rick Wood of Wood Development. Wood poin...

This community is fabulous! Nestled by the Atlantic Ocean, and Hanna Park to the north, the location of this community is a mere 3 miles to the shops and restaurants of Atlantic Beach/Neptune Beach Town Center. Master suite is on the first floor, with a massive closet for her, and custom built in storage for him (and it's more than plentiful!).  Open floor plan with gleaming wood floors (done in the past two years) there is a formal dining room with custom china cabinets and lighting to showcase your treasures. A gas fireplace buffers the living room from the family room, and and the large screened lanai opens to the family room as well as the eat in kitchen area, creating excellent flow for entertaining.  Two more bedrooms upstairs with full bath make this the perfect house whether you...
