THE BIDDING HAS STOPPED!

Hi All !!!

Thoughts on Ian

“Once again, Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch area was hardly impacted by the storm. We feel blessed, and looking to help the folks in the Naples, Ft. Myers area in any way we can. The communities have come together, and day by day things get a bit better for those areas hardest hit by Ian."

End of Summer

Hope everyone has been enjoying the last days of summer, and ready for fall. We are happy to be able to share that FINALLY, the bidding has stopped on the homes and lots the builders have for sale. INCENTIVES are a word we haven’t seen in a while, and now we are seeing them again. We said last year that it was not a great time to purchase, but now things have changed, and we feel that now is a much better time. (As of now, we are seeing some incentives totaling up to 50k!)

The organizational groups have announced their schedules for all the festivals, concert series, theatre events, opera, sporting events, art shows, and all the rest of the activities that make Sarasota known not only for her beautiful beaches, but also as the "culture coast".

The Party's On!

With the events at the Ringling Museum, The Asolo Theater, Florida Studio Theater, The Van Wezel, and all the festivals and great restaurants - there is always something fun to do and see here in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, or Bradenton.

A mental shift has occurred, and we are seeing the average age of our buyers dropping – Especially with the opening of Waterside – (That’s the “newest” downtown in Lakewood Ranch)

It is not too early to think about heading south, and purchasing your dream home, either to relocate permanently, or a “run-away” from the winter cold. but we do have some advice to share –

Remember, as Buyer’s agents, Irv and I work for you. We will always have your best interests at heart, resale or new. You do not pay for our services- the seller does –

We look forward to helping you live your dream, whether it be purchasing a vacation home, or permanent relocation.

Until Then! Stay Well and Enjoy!

As you think about putting your home on the market,
a few hints:

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Become your buyer – If you weren’t moving to Paradise, would you buy your home at the price you are asking?

What do you see when you pull up to your home?

Does the first impression say: Wow- this home looks pristine?

As they walk through your home, can your buyer envision each room for his or her purpose? Is there plenty of room for their belongings? Empty every top shelf ( do this in every cabinet and shelf in the house). You have to pack any way, this will give you a head start. Whether you are dreaming of downtown or dockside, water view or your favorite fairway, our commitment is to help you discover your ultimate lifestyle.

 

So now you are thinking –

“How do I get the most dollars out of my home when I sell?”

A Few Hints

Your mission is to make your home show like a model.

Declutter-Declutter-Declutter!!

The most important thing to remember is: once you decide to put your home on the market, it becomes a house and not your home – (you have to pack anyway, so why not get started early)

Look at your house though buyer’s eyes.

What do you see when you pull up to your house and park your car? Curb appeal is so important. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

Does the front of your home have an inviting and welcoming allure? Are your bushes and other plant life trimmed and tidy? Arrange a few pots of colorful plants and frame the entry way to invite your perspective buyer into their new home.

As you enter, are you greeted with a neutral fresh scent? You want to appeal to all the senses for greatest effect.

Is your paint color neutral so others can visualize their furniture in the house? As you walk from room to room is everything neat and tidy?

Are your kitchen counters clear? Empty every top shelf, every cabinet, every closet, and anyplace that has a top shelf leave empty. After all – you want to give the illusion of more than enough storage for anyone to need.

Hope these few little hints help you get on the right track.
