You've heard the saying "you can't see the forest for the trees". Simply put, sometimes we get so hung up on details, that we fail to see the big picture.
In this real estate market, we see it alot. Caught up in the negotiation game, buyers walk away from a GREAT deal because the seller wouldn't give "just a little more". People pass on an incredible deal because the home needs new carpets...or a new roof...or an updated kitchen. But when a home is priced at 50% of market value, adding in the cost of these upgrades still makes it a steal.
Every day new clients tell us that they want "alot of house, a little bit of money". Of course they do, that's what everyone wants. But in the quest for the needle in the haystack, the deal of a lifetime, they often overlook opportunities that are, quite frankly, disappearing quickly.
As unfair as it may seem to everyone else, the incredible steals are sold to Sarasota area locals within hours of listing. The good news is, though, that with a qualified local professional sorting through the opportunity, we can still get you a fantastic deal before the window closes...

Proficiency in using internet is a great advantage in hunting valuable properties but then when it comes to getting down the details, consultation with a skilled agent is needed. An agent must know the latest trends in the market and must be knowledgeable of the current economic indicators.
Thanks Peter - there's no substitute for feet on the street, no matter how good we get with technology. We appreciate your thoughts.
