Sell Your Viera House the Publix Grocery Store Way....

When you are ready to sell your Viera Florida house (or any other Brevard County, Florida location), you have to remember a few key points. 

Because most houses in the Viera area look very similar, you need to take the grocery store approach and treat your house just like a box of cereal!

To sell your house it is:
  • Packaging.  Curb appeal, fresh paint, fresh flowers, inviting appearance, 
  • Presentation.  Once inside it must be clean, uncluttered, and neutral,
  • Pricing.  Of course this was probably the first thing to get the buyer's attention!
Selling your Viera or Suntree house?  Cal me (or email) to discuss how I can assist you in the process.

Who pays for the buyer's real estate agent?

Many home buyers - especially first time buyers - are confused about who pays for the buyer's agent when they are shopping for a house.  [ANSWER: The seller pays the fees for the buyer's real estate agent.]

When a prospective buyer calls a real estate agent about seeing properties, the real estate agent will probably ask some questions.

These are necessary questions in order to provide you with the service you deserve!
  • When are you buying or selling?
  • Why are you buying or selling?
  • If buying, will you be getting a mortgage?
  • If paying cash do you have proof of funds available?
  • What are you looking for in your next house?

Call me if you are considering selling or buying a home or condo in Brevard County, Florida.

How to be a successful buyer or seller in 2010 (or whenever you buy or sell!)

“The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.” – Nathaniel Brandon

The real estate market in Brevard County, Florida – as well as most other places – has been in a decline for several years.

Decline if you are a seller, that is.

When someone decides to sell their house or condo, the first step is usually to call a local real estate agent in to talk about marketing their property and the “price they will get.”  It is this selling price that is very often much lower than the seller’s preconceived opinion.  This is the awareness part of the equation.

When some decides to buy a house or condo in a place like Viera or Suntree, the first thing they usually do is look on the Internet – for their real estate agent.   After exchanging emails or phone calls they explain what they are looking for in a house or condo.  And then, in many cases, their real estate agent has to apprise them of what is really available in their price range.  This is the awareness part of the equation. 

For either party, buyer or seller, to achieve success in their endeavor, they must accept the reality of the real estate market.  At this point, success is achievable. 

I have worked with many who have had to be to be dragged into the real market while others accepted the change in perspective.

In 2010, and for several years to come, buyers and sellers will need to adjust their preconceived notions about the real estate market!
