Using Your Real Estate Agent

I was in the office this morning when I received a call from a lady. She had seen one of our Century 21 Baytree Realty signs in front of a property. She took down the number and called. That is why we place the signs there! She could not tell me the address but she could tell me the street and how to get there!

I looked it up and provided her with the information. Her response - "that is priced too high. The "comps" in the neighborhood don't support the price." She advised me to tell the owner to come down about a hundred thousand dollars and then she would look at it!

I am not the brightest light in the chandelier. However, from her remarks I knew she was either a real estate agent or was working with one. So I asked. Yes, she is working with another agent.

My advice to her was simple.... Contact your real estate agent and request they speak with the listing agent. You see, in Florida once you have a real estate agent representing you another agent should not interfere. And, I play by the rules - always!

If you are in the market for a property, find yourself a good, professional real estate agent to work with you. If you are a buyer, remember it does not cost you anything to have an agent work for you! Sticking with one agent protects your interests.

If you are looking to purchase a home in Viera, Rockledge, Suntree or north Melbourne, Florida, I would like a chance to be your real estate agent.
