Buying a Property Requires Many Difficult Decisions. Make Sure Your Realtors are Top Local Experts.
 

Why not work with Real Estate agents who are proven leaders in their field? We have been recognized as Leading Sales Associates for the Sanibel & Captiva Island offices and for VIP Realty Group for Southwest Florida! 

Investing in Real Estate involves many decisions that go beyond simply choosing a property you like. 

As top Sanibel Captiva Island and Greater Fort Myers area Realtors, here is how we will guide you through the entire process, from viewing homes and financing, to making sure the final contract is in your best interest: 

- You will have full access to ALL homes available on the Sanibel Captiva Islands and Greater Fort Myers and the Beach market, even listings not yet on the MLS, through our professional Florida real estate affiliations. 

- Our expert local knowledge of the Sanibel and Captiva Island Coast area should be invaluable to you, not just in terms of real estate, but also schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more. 

- Every local real estate market absolutely has its own trends and opportunities. This can vary greatly, even one neighborhood to the next. The Sanibel Captiva Island and Greater Fort Myers area are no different! It's our job to steer you into opportunities and out of traps. 

- What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high? Is it a bargain that you should jump on? We help home buyers make decisions like this every day, and we'll make sure that YOU get the best value for your money. 

- Negotiating with sellers can be stressful. We will help you negotiate, so that the final contract includes your best possible terms and conditions. 

- You should know absolutely everything about the property you are buying! You and a member of our team will view every home that you are interested in, together. And prior to closing we will make you fully aware of any and all inspections available to you. 

- Have confidence when signing documents. Contracts are full of complicated terms and clauses that can greatly affect your future life in your new home. We will give you the full benefit of our real estate knowledge and experience. 

Let us represent your best interests in your search for a new property in the Sanibe Captiva Island and Greater Fort Myers area. While you can see a million homes on the web, actually buying your home is another matter entirely. Buyers beware! 

ACCREDITED BUYER’S REPRESENTATION 

The Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council, the nations oldest and largest association of real estate practitions addressing all aspects of consumer representation in the real estate transaction, has established a criterion for excellence in buyer representation:

THE "ACCREDITED BUYER REPRESENTATIVE" DESIGNATION 

To attain this designation, real estate practitioners must complete an extensive classroom training program on buyer agency practices and procedures, pass a written examination and submit evidence of practical experience as buyer's representative.  

So, if a real estate transaction is in your future, put an Accredited Buyer’s Representative to work for you. 

Part of a select group qualified by the National Association of Realtors as Accredited Buyer's Representatives (ABR), Jim and Penny are proficient in finding the perfect property for their clients at the right price. They are cognizant of the fiduciary responsibilities involved in this relationship and dedicated to providing their best skill, care and diligence to the transaction. This representation is at no cost to you. You really can't afford not to use their expertise! 

CERTIFIED RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST 

The Certified Residential Specialist designation (CRS), conferred by the Council of Residential Specialists, an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors, recognizes real estate agents for proven experience in marketing residential property. To earn the designation, Realtors must have a proven track record in the business, as well as advanced education in related areas like finance, technology and marketing. Less than 5 percent of all Realtors hold the CRS designation.

Real Estate Tips
Cosmetic Improvements >Cosmetic Changes

When a home goes on the market, it should look great. Often there are improvements that must be made before a house is ready to show well. When you are preparing to list your home, it is strongly recommended that you go through each room with a critical eye.

What are you looking for? Start with the ceiling, and look for any cracks or water stains, then inspect the condition of the paint and wallpaper. Make sure that the windows are clean and window treatments are attractive. All of the closets and storage spaces should be neat and organized (a cluttered closet looks smaller!). If the rooms seem crowded with too much furniture, you can create a more spacious look by storing your "overflow".

A well-maintained house tends to sell much more quickly than one where buyers must use a lot of imagination to see it in a positive light. The condition of your house will help to determine the selling price. The better the house looks, the better your chances of selling it at the best price. A real estate agent can help you by recommending the repairs and cleaning that will increase your home's marketability.
