Many times property owners mistakenly believe that they can sell their property on their own and "save" on commissions. This practice can often backfire on the seller for a number of reasons. Often, the price of the property is not within the true market. A property may be offered too high or too low in price. We have seen countless times where sellers have left quite a bit of money on the table due to many factors! We don't want this to happen to you!

We perform a true market analysis and develop a marketing plan custom tailored to get you the most for your property. We have many years of expertise and the extensive tools necessary to properly research your property. This allows us to compare your property to others that have sold and those that are currently on the market, thus assuring you that your property is priced properly.

Before running out and placing a "for sale" sign into the front lawn, ask yourself:

• Do I have the time to handle all calls, during days, nights, weekends, holidays? - Do I have the time to schedule appointments and showings?
• Am I sure that the interested party is not a criminal & has ulterior motives? This happens more than you know!
• Do I have thick enough skin to stand there while a prospective buyer makes unflattering statement about my home?
• Do I become flustered easily when discussing money and negotiating? - Are my prospects Pre Approved or just "dreamers".
• Do I have a marketing plan besides a For Sale sign? - Am I willing and able to advertise extensively and effectively to reach the target audience.
• Do I have the proper disclosures and forms to complete a real estate transaction on my own? Use of specific disclosures and forms are legally required and failure to use them properly (or at all) can leave you open for a potential lawsuit!

After weighing all the pros and cons, we're sure you'll want to trust your property to the professionals at Gulf Winds Realty & Development!
