23 Questions Sellers Must Ask When Interviewing A Realtor
Sellers Riding Parkland Real Estate Roller Coaster?
Price Your Home Accordingly From Day One And Don’t Ride The Real Estate Roller Coaster
After closing our recent Pine Tree Estates home located at 6213 N.W. 63rd Way, Parkland, FL 33067 last week, I thought about how this particular seller rode the real estate roller coaster for the past few years. He had gone through three top-producing local Realtors, before our team listed and sold his home in under 50 days! He told me that they had an offer a year and a half ago for 1 million dollars, which he did not take! As a result, he ended up selling his home in the $800,000’s, which is top-market price today!
I performed some further research using the 33 single family homes that sold in December, 2009. On average, each home ended up selling for approximately 25% less than it was originally listed for. Of course, some sellers had their homes on the market in 2005 and had unrealistic expectations.
But, many of your fellow Parkland neighbors decided to ride the Parkland real estate roller coaster. Unfortunately, the price of the ticket costs tens of thousands of dollars!
We recently went to contract on our listing in North Pine Tree Estates located at 6920 N.W. 66th Ave, Parkland, FL 33067. We provided our sellers with this useful information about proper pricing. Fortunately, both of our recent sellers had their homes under contract in under 50 days!! Best news is that they did not have to ride the Parkland real estate roller coaster.
As home values continue to settle this year, sellers need to understand that pricing is imperative in today’s real estate market. It is very important to interview the right agent for the job of selling your home who is looking to actually SELL your listing and not just take your listing! Or else, you, your family, and your Realtor should be prepared to buckle up and ride the real estate roller coaster! Are you afraid of heights?

23 Questions Sellers Must Ask When Interviewing A Realtor
When interviewing any agent to list your home, it is wise to ask questions that will reveal the agent’s ability to successfully accomplish your real estate goals. Before our team goes on a listing appointment, we email or drop-off a Realtor-Questionnaire that ALL sellers should ask when interviewing the right agent for the job of selling their home.
No matter if the agent is your friend or even an agent that you worked with in the past, the current market is unlike any other! As a result, the older agent that sold homes at the height of the market might not truly be the best agent for the job. Read on … Read the rest of this entry »
The Lazy Way To Advertise A Parkland Home
Lazy Parkland Listing Agents Equals No Sale
While Browsing Parkland properties every day for my clients, I can’t help but recognize many Parkland homes put on the MLS for sale by Realtors with crappy pictures, no room measurements, no virtual tours, and on and on.
Here is an active listing in Ternbridge Estates currently on the market for $1,300,000 with ONLY two pictures that you would need a magnify glass to see. Is at least a $39,000 commission not enough of an incentive to hire a professional photographer to to place the 16 picture limit on the MLS and then 25 total pictures on Realtor.com? 
Imagine if you were the seller of this property! How many potential buyers in the past 5 months that the home has been on the market are not even thinking of looking at this property? Would you want to see this property by the way it is portrayed on the MLS & Realtor.com? I think not!
If you are thinking about selling your Parkland property, make sure to keep track of your Realtor. Ask for copies or links to all online and print marketing. Make sure to properly interview the right agent for the job of selling your home! Or else, you could be on the market for 5 months or more and be totally oblivious to why your home is not receiving any attention! But, one bad apple doesn’t spoil the bunch.

Calling All Parkland Home Sellers: Pricing Is Everything
Proper Parkland Pricing For Home Sellers
Many Parkland sellers are thinking in the past instead of the present when it comes to pricing their homes for sale! I tell my sellers that it is better to price their homes competitively and closer to where the home should sell than overpricing and never receiving any showings. No showings equals No offers. Period!
I hear the saying, “But Michael, we need to price our home higher to leave room for negotiating.” My response is that if you leave too much room, there won’t be any negotiating. When a potential buyer finds the right property and writes up an offer, he/she then becomes personally attached to the home. Before the offer comes in, their is no warm, fuzzy feeling from the buyer. With the real estate market in Parkland starting to show signs of life, sellers need to be realistic and NOT overprice their homes. Imagine how many more sales would take place this month if more sellers of the less than 300 single family Parkland homes actually had their homes priced competitively? Think about it!
