4. NEGOTIATING SKILLS:
It is one thing to find a home you want, but it’s another to get it on the right terms. Here is a list of the Important negotiating points in buying a home.
1. Understand the seller:
We will provide you with in-depth information about the local real estate market or the seller (as available) to strengthen your negotiating position.
2. Get your homework:
We will give you all the comparable prices of listings sold and for sale so that an educated offer can be made.
3. Showing your cards:
Get pre-qualified so the Seller will know your offer is valid, but if for example, you can pay cash, you don’t need to disclose it at first. We know how to handle all this.
4. Always have options:
We will show you enough homes that you will have several you would be happy with. That way in the negotiating process, we can tell the seller's agent, that theirs is not the only home in consideration.
These are some of the main negotiating points but certainly not everything we may run into.
We have closed over 337 transactions in the last 8 years which simply means we know how to negotiate on your behalf.

57 percent more listings than the second-ranking company.*
Listings Sold
We have sold 82 percent more of our listed properties than the #2 firm and 196 percent more than number three which validates the effectiveness of our Every Day Until Its Sold marketing plan and investment to achieve top ranking on worldwide websites.
Agent Productivity
We have fewer than 10 percent of all agents, yet they do 20 percent of all the business Keys-wide.*
Giving Back To Our Community
Our Charitable Foundation has raised $550,000 since its inception in April 2002 to support needy people and worthy programs exclusively in the Florida Keys.
How does all this benefit you?
Listings: Since we have the majority of the listings in some cases we learn about properties before they are even on the market, giving you an advantage.
Our experience and results mean we have earned the trust of the other Area agents. This puts up in a better bargaining position as everyone knows that we are professionals and Real Estate is our full-time business.
Our knowledge and respect for local vendors mean we have more negotiating power for you. Simply said, they want our business and work hard to maintain it.
We Look Forward To Working With You And Providing You with Exceptional Service!
