Long time, no post...
Since my last post I've sold two houses and one condo! Definitely got off to a great start this year. Our markets generally slow down during the Summer months and this Summer has been no different. We vacationed on the west coast of Florida twice - once to help my brother move to Sarasota from Connecticut and the other for my college friend's wedding. Lots of golf too! I joined the Golf Club for the Summer deal and have been walking twice a week and using a cart with friends on the weekends. It is HOT out there.
Refocusing on my real estate career, sending more flyers, newsletters and attending more social functions. I have a new top five favorite in Key West, Labor Day Weekend's "BrewFest!!!" It might be second to the St. Paddy's Day Bar Stroll... Lots of new buyer leads are keeping me busy but I'm really hopeful to get some more sellers. Sellers HAVE to sell but buyers are not nearly as likely to follow through. I'll be listing a mobile home at Geiger Key this Fall.
The one property I really want to sell is 12 Cannon Royal on Shark Key. The sellers are wonderful people, very motivated to sell and willing to negotiate on the price but of all the buyers we've had come through -none have made a serious offer. Five sales out there so far this year so with less inventory I'm hoping to get it under contract by the end of the year. Should be publishing a price reduction next week!
I recently acquired a bocce team. Team DeBOCCEry plays on Monday nights at the Southernmost Bocce League. Now we are "Team DeBOCCEry" sponsored by Brian Trible/Coldwell Banker Schmitt. Moral is up and we already have our first win of the season! Bocce is incredible enough that it deserves it's own blog post. Stay tuned....
