Selling your island home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?

We want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that we will do to market and sell your home: 

OUR MARKETING SYSTEM 

• Immediate exposure through the Sanibel/Captiva Multiple Listing Service as well as the Greater Fort Myers and the Beach MLS Service provides instant access to information concerning your property for all cooperating brokers.  

• Email broadcast messages will be sent to our network of top local area Realtors® 

• Company and Association of Realtors open house (caravan) provides local sales executives with first hand knowledge of your property. Sales people from VIP Realty Group and other local Realtors® will preview the property. 

• Professional looking photographic presentations will be prepared to ensure that your home is seen at its best advantage in both marketing and advertising vehicles. 

• A virtual tour will be prepared and be available on multiple sites on the Internet.  

• The property will be featured on our highly ranked website – www.IslandExpert.com which automatically uploads your property to our listing partners including, but not limited to…Yahoo! Classifieds, HarmonHomes, CLRsearch.com and Trulia.com. We also maintain a pay per click budget that exposes your home to many additional prospects. 

All properties will also be featured on www.VIPRealty.com and Luxury Properties will be featured in Leading Real Estate Companies of the World www.LuxuryPortfolio.com  

• Your property will also be uploaded to www.Realtor.com as a Showcase Listing. Realtor.com also partners with and uploads your property to:WorldProperties.com (international), AOL, HomeStore, Wall Street Journal and loads of others. We maintain a regional featured home slot on Realtor.com on an annual basis. This increases web traffic to our site and you home dramatically! 

• High Quality personalized full color brochures will be printed and available with any additional information you supply including floor plans, Plats, and surveys. 

• We will create a direct mail campaign to target specific markets using quality-marketing pieces. 

• Specialized advertising in local magazines and newspapers, such as The News-Press, The Island Sun, The Islander, The Island Reporter, The Captiva Chronicle, San Cap Style, Fine Homes and Luxury Lifestyles magazine, The Real Estate Guide (Monthly) and The Real Estate Book (Monthly).  

We will provide you with copies of all advertising as they are published. If at any time you have any questions or concerns about any of the marketing, please contact any one of us.  

- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the Sanibel and Captiva Islands market, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. We will do this for you, for free. 

- Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! We make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home. 

- More buyers interested in your property means more money in your pocket when it is sold. Our extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, and other top national sites. We can place your home on our web site within a few minutes time! 

- When we begin marketing your home, we will immediately notify all the buyers that we are helping find their ideal home. We'll also notify all the Realtors in this area that we work with, who quickly tell their homebuyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home! 

- You and a member of our team will walk through your home together. We will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! Be careful. 

- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts. You will have the full benefit of our Real Estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. We recommend that you do not sign on any dotted lines without asking us first. 

You pay no up front costs for our services! So you can bet that we will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. We will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! We can help you to make this a smooth transition. 

Call or email us. Ask for a free In-Home Presentation. We will come to your home or office, and present you a plan that details exactly how we will market your home. There is absolutely no obligation so don't let this opportunity pass. It is part of our job as top real estate agents to offer you this service.

Real Estate Tips
Investment Real Estate >Investment Property Exchanges

When you buy an investment property, there are two important financial goals to consider. You will want a property capable of producing rental income. When you sell, you hope that the property will have appreciated enough that you will earn a good profit on your investment. If your property has enjoyed a healthy appreciation, you may need to do some careful planning to avoid paying out most of your profits in the form of capital gains taxes.

When selling your primary residence, you may be able to defer your capital gains taxes when you buy your next home. This does not apply, however, to investment property. If you sell one property then purchase another, the taxes will be due for the year the sale occurred. On the other hand, if you arrange to trade one property for another, you may be able to defer the capital gains tax.

It is not as complicated as it sounds! Many real estate agents and attorneys specialize in helping their clients put these kind of transactions together. You don't have to trade buildings with the people buying your property. The property you trade may belong to a third party, and your buyers need only cooperate with the closing attorney to make the transaction work.
