ALL A-TWITTERGiven the overlap between business and personal relationships, we should take advantage of Twitter and Facebook to market ourselves in subtle ways. For example, we could remind family and friends of what we do for a living via status updates. We could indicate that we are on their way to an open house and leave the address, or talk about a home we just listed and mention the address. Through these subtle messages, we can make sure family and friends remember us when they need to buy or sell a home in the future. 01/12/2009

Cape Coral, FL FAST MOVING MARKET...........Low Prices!  Transactions way up!!! We are in a huge foreclosure market...over 2,000 pre-foreclosure filings per month. Prices are low....3 bedroom/2 bath/2 car garage homes built after 2000 for 65K-you don't need to be a brain surgeon to figure out it's a deal.  And buyers know it.  I had three different buyers out before 12:30 yesterday. 50% of our listings (3900+) are short sales.  The good news is that banks are now working with us to get them closed.  More than twice as many homes sold in Cape Coral in 2008 than 2007. Are we a long term stable area? Even though we have one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country-we only received 7 million from the Federal Government for support.  They feel when all is said and done-we will not hav... 01/10/2009

SET THE STAGE FOR A SALESimple fixes and staging practices can focus buyers' attention in the right places and keep them from getting sidetracked by personal items in the home. Here are some staging suggestions. · Eliminate countertop clutter. A countertop covered with small appliances and utensils looks crowded, not spacious. · Pack up the too-personal. Don't leave toiletries on the counter. Stash family photos. · Be prepared for snoops. Prospective buyers pull open drawers, look in closets and peek behind the shower curtain. · Make sure things work. Dripping faucets, burned-out light bulbs and squeaking hinges detract from the home's appeal. · Think "white-glove clean." Mop, dust, vacuum, clean baseboards and wash windows. Make sure the house looks fresh and smells neutral. · Make sur... 01/10/2009

Are you tired of all the doom and gloom on network news and in the papers?  I know I am.  Yet, even our local paper tends to sensationalize the negative issues of the day.  Instead, I'd like to share some positive points about the real estate market in my home town of Cape Coral, Florida. Today's weather is sunny, clear and temperatures in the 70s. The SW Florida region leads the state in International Buyer Sales.

HOME STAGINGMore Realtors are suggesting to their home sellers that they consider home staging - a process where a house for sale is de-cluttered, de-personalized and redecorated so it appeals to a wide variety of potential buyers. Staging a home so the house, not the seller's life and tastes, is on display can offen make a difference in selling the home more quickly, the experts say. 01/07/2009

Cape Coral single family building permits were reported today and the numbers remain low.  December 2008 recorded only 7 single-family building permits, this ties the previous record low of 7.  With more than 400 homes per month being sold in the Cape Coral the time will come when there are simply no new homes for buyers to purchase. 01/05/2009

So what did we do on the last day of the year??? We worked of course, sales are booming here in Cape Coral and all of SW Florida. We had two different sets of clients out today and guess what?? We wrote two contracts on foreclosed homes. One was in Cape Coral and the other was in Lehigh Acres. Clients were amazed at what they could buy for under $75,000. Now we just have to hope that once the banks open on Friday that our full price offers are accepted. What you say we have to wonder if our full price offers will be accepted... Yes thats what I said. The reason being is now that this market is booming again we are often faced with multiple offer situations where the selling price actually goes higher than list price. Phones are ringing, emails are coming in, lots of contracts being writ... 01/01/2009

This morning on the news I heard that the I-75 Road Expansion Project (IROX) is 150 days ahead of schedule.  It’s always a good sign to see public works projects ahead of schedule.   This much needed project will increase the number of travel lanes from 4 to 6 lanes along a 30 mile stretch of I-75 from Golden Gate Parkway in Collier County to Colonial Blvd in Lee County.   12/30/2008

      Staging Homes for sale has become a popular approach to selling a home across the country. Consignment Stores are a great place to start to get good quality furniture and home furnishing at a fraction of the price. You can redecorate a condo or a smaller home for a fraction of the price of what you would think and change the impression of the home your trying to sell. Specialiy if your moving away before you sell your home and the home is left vacant with no personalty. Just go out and look at pre view current active listings in your price range and compare the bank owned or foreclosure property to a furnished home in the same price range. The slightly furnished and decorated home will sell faster and for a higher price then the these empty vacant homes!  Just think about how new ... 12/28/2008
