Which ball would you choose? The little rascal on the right is my Boston Terrier, Diesel Dog.  He likes to play - all the time!  While tossing around the tennis balls I decided to throw two of them at the same time and see which one he would select. They both look the same on the outside. They have the same characteristics.  When tossed they were in the same area.  Which would he choose?   This is very similar to my experience with home buyers in the Viera, Florida area. Many of the homes look similar although the subdivisions may have some distinctive quality.  I have never had a customer ask me which one I would choose although they have asked which area is "best" (avoid this potential trap). Decisions are always made by the buyer (seller). So, how do buyers choose between equally nic...

How much house can $200,000 buy in Viera, Florida?  Most of the time buyers like to approach the home purchase process with "What can I get for $XXX in wherever?" In a time of rising prices the answer may not be based on what has sold in the previous few months.  That is because many times the closing took place one to two months after the contract date.  Still, even with upward pressure on the prices, recent sales prices can be a useful measure.  This is a sampling of homes sold in the Viera area during September 2013 for approximately $200,000. 5390 Somerville Drive in the Somerville subdivision sold for $200,000 (3 bedroom 2 bath 2 care garage with pool). On the market for 3 days.  1372 Keys Gate Drive in the 55+ Grand Isle development sold for $195,000 (2 bedroom 2 bath 2 car garage...

What I’ve Learned About Growing My Business In this challenge Paul McFadden has asked us to tell what we’ve learned in our real estate career. I’ve been in the real estate business since 2005 and over the years I have learned many things about growing my business. Here are some of my thoughts.  There are no magic answers. It is important to have a business plan and then follow it.    Prospecting is the key to my success. I must prospect daily to build and grow my business. This includes activities that make me uncomfortable like talking to FSBO’s and expireds. The more I do it the easier it gets.    I must have a good listing presentation. A listing appointment is a job interview and most of the times I have only one chance to get the listing agreement signed. I must tell the sellers wh...

I wanted to congratulate Dwight and  Alessandra on the purchase of their new home in the Master Planned Community of Viera, FL The home is 1900 sqft with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a bonus study and a large dining room and family room. The screened in Florida room on the back of the home overlooks both a small lake and a wooded area (so they have no rear neighbors). They are walking distance to one of the many community pools Viera has to offer. The schools in Viera are all "A" Rated Florida schools...perfect for a family. Dwight and Alessandra just relocated from Italy...so this is a big change! I hope they will love Florida as much as I do!

It’s now time for you to look at your home through the eyes of a buyer. Below are a few basic points .  Go through each and every room in your home and declutter, declutter, declutter.

Heritage Isle in Viera - What one resident thinks about this Florida 55+ community. When I work with buyers considering purchasing a home or condo in the Heritage Isle 55+ community in Viera, I always start with a tour of the club house and facilities.  Almost without fail, there will be residents there who welcome them, answer questions and give them an unsolicited opinion of life in Heritage Isle Recently Heritage Isle resident Richard Hertz posted on Facebook some of the things he loves about Heritage Isle.  With his permission some of his reasons are listed here... I like my house. It is probably too big for the two of us, but I am not the boss. I like wild life and I get to see deer, coyotes, armadillos, rabbits, alligators, birds, ducks, etc. I like the diversification of people w...
