WERE BACK !

October 30, 2008

Welcome back to our Greater Tampa Bay Real Estate site.  As of this post we are on the eve of our offical re-launch of the Greater Tampa Bay Real Estate – BLOG -   

We have spent several months working with our design team at Virtual Interactive Systems to get the right look and feel to this site.  We wanted to be able to keep the blogging portion of the site yet we also  wanted a more traditional feel of a Real Estate Web site but, we did not want a boring old static site or cookie cutter site like so many Real Estate sites that still exist in our market.  Our goal is to re-enable our client base and re-energize the communications standards we set out with early on with our first blog site.

Yes, it has been some time since be posted to the old blog. With all the bad news on the economy, we just kept our heads down and ploughed right along vowing to continue to work our best with our clients and to go back to the designers on retooling our site.  We now have a portal that we can use to better communicate with our current client base, potential clients and well anyone that wants to know more about buying or selling their residential real estate in the Greater Tampa Bay Area of Florida.  

Stay tuned, we have a bit more tweaking on this new platform, and quicker than we have a new president we will be up and running full steam with all our listings, new content every week - including much more video in and about the Tampa area.  Starting off with our very own – Meet your Future Home Team Video right on our front page. Be sure to check it out and don’t forget to sign up for our Email News letter while your at it.  Just click the link rigth above the video.

DOJ sets sights on more MLS boards

May 8, 2008

050808watcherAs the DOJ case against NAR enters into a critical path this summer, the DOJ is starting to take aim at other players in the MLS game. This is only the beginning and it is very apparent to many, that NAR’s iron fisted rule on the MLS will not come out of this unscathed.

Having interacted with over a hundred of the top MLS’s through the United States I can say from my perspective, that this is going to be welcomed with open arms for those wanting to open this up to the masses and to help create a free and unfettered access to this data. The way it has been controlled has got to change. The times and the technologies brought to bear in today’s digital world that we live in are also changing and this is another one of those changes that is coming soon to an MLS Board near you.

Barry Cunnigham over at the Blood Hound Blog wrote a great post on the latest foray into this battle The War Against The MLS Continues | The MLS Must Fall!.

It is worth reading and before you comment, you should arm yourself with the knowledge of actually reading the content of the complaints as filed by the DOJ (links are in the posts – his and mine). Also, be sure to check out the article I wrote back in February 2007 that goes into more background and details on this. MLS Data compliance and NAR vs. DOJ

SOLD_Listing

This has been a long haul. We finally sold a home that we have worked so very hard to market for the former owner.

In any market there is always that one house that no matter what you do, short of dropping the price to a ridiculous level it does not sell. In this case the home is in a beautiful location and the home is no ugly duckling either. What is interesting is that when the former owner purchased the home in the early 90?s it had been on the market for over a year.

We gave up on counting exactly how many open house events, broker events and listing tours we provided on this home. We had received several offers over the course of the listing, but they were not serious and considered low ball offers when compared to the other homes selling in and around the neighborhood.

The new owners are ecstatic, and the seller is very happy to have sold the house. So persistence can make the sale when both parties come to together and realize they can make a deal that works for both.

I can tell you that it is interesting, that we have had listings where the owner did not head our advice and subsequently re-listed the home with another agent only to find that their home is still unsold many months later. So jumping ship is not always the best thing to do, you really have to look at what your agent is doing for you. If they are doing everything humanly possible and the home is still not selling, then the price may have to be lowered to compete in the current market. I can tell you that the owner still made a good profit over what they had originally purchased the home for.
