PROUDLY SERVING CLIENTS IN THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES
Probate & INHERITED PROPERTY
Personal Representatives and Heirs often have questions about real estate which is why we created a guide for our clients “How to Navigate Probate and Trusts with Real Estate”. The more heirs that are involved, the more complex the process can become. We take the time to ask questions of the heirs and the PR for the estate so we can get a firm understanding of the needs from multiple perspectives and we understand the complexities of the process.
Whether we are working with a sole heir or multiple heirs, we like to provide the various options available and we understand that selling the property is not always the best option and we make this known. Our role is not to just sell a house, it is to properly advise our client on what makes the most sense based on their unique situation. There are many considerations with inherited property and it is vital to understand carrying costs prior to deciding to keep a property as property taxes often increase the following year when ownership changes (depending on how it is titled and transferred).
We also provide additional services at NO CHARGE such as our “Boots on the Ground” service where we handle various needs at the property on behalf of our clients who are not local or have trouble getting to the property. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond to ensure that our clients receive the best advice, timely communication and the best results possible! We invite you to contact us today and learn more about how we can help you.
HELPING BY OWNER SELLERS
We understand that this isn’t for everyone, but some of you may want to try and sell your property yourself. If this is you, we created a 16 page booklet full of visual infographics that show you how to properly prepare your house prior to listing it, how to stage the interior, what to do outside to enhance your curb appeal, and how to better ensure your safety when people knock on your door to take a tour. We also provide a checklist of things to do prior to each showing to ensure the buyers see your property at its’ best. And while you won’t be able to get it in front of as many people as an experienced agent, we show you what you CAN do to get it in front of as many people as possible. Simply fill out the request form and we will email you a digital copy free of charge, or we can bring you a printed copy if you prefer.
DIVORCING COUPLES
Divorce sales happen every day, but when it comes time to make the decision it can certainly feel overwhelming for many people. We always start with a conversation to determine the needs and wants of both parties. We also provide insight on the pros and cons of selling vs one party buying out the other, or even a deferred sale if that is being considered. Sometimes it makes sense for one party to maintain possession of the property, other times it does not.
Once we conduct and complete a needs analysis, we will customize a strategy designed around those needs to fully prepare the property for market, position it at the right price to maximize interest, and then market it heavily to get the most and highest offers in the shortest amount of time possible. The key is to not project that this is a divorce sale as many buyers will see this as an opportunity to provide lower offers. We have created a client guide that also answers many questions; “How to Navigate a Divorce or Separation when Real Estate is Involved”.
If you are involved in a divorce and have questions about your options for the real estate involved, we are happy to provide information based on your needs (not ours). Selling the property is not always the best move and we’ll let you know if it isn’t. We are well-versed in divorce proceedings and have been named “Special Magistrate” in court proceedings to facilitate the marketing and sale of properties according to court-ordered timelines.
Advanced Buyer Representation
Luxe Buyers have an advantage in any market condition as we understand the process and the market inside out. We have a candid discussion with our clients to get a clear understanding of your timeline, needs, budget, location and other factors to consider when purchasing property.
We also advise our clients on vital factors that Sellers consider when reviewing offers – spoiler alert: the determining factor is not just the purchase price!
It is also important for us to discuss the recent changes that took effect this month (August 2024) and what impact those new regulations have on you as a Buyer.
Give us a call to learn more about Buying property and creating a strategic, winning offer so you can start packing!
MassIVE Marketing
It all starts with a conversation where we ask questions to fully understand the needs and objectives of our clients. This allows us to customize a strategy designed around those needs. Service and expertise are the cornerstones of our business and we stay updated on changes in local and national regulations and guidelines so we can offer the best service and expertise available.
Although there are many steps and functions involved to achieve each of these steps, selling a house is all about hitting three essential elements:
1. Proper Home Preparation
2. Proper Positioning & Massive Marketing
3. Negotiating Up and not Down
When a home seller agrees to work with us, we immediately begin helping to prepare the property to get it “Market Ready” which involves cleaning, reducing, staging, mowing, planting, and generally enhancing the overall function and flow of the property.
We then implement our Massive Marketing System (MMS) comprised of over 20 elements designed to put the property in front of the largest pool of potential buyers possible to generate the most and highest offers for the property. We utilize technology in our yard signs with a QR code that provides prospective Buyer’s with your listing information directly to their smart phone. We also implement rapid response technology that notifies us when your property is viewed online so we can promptly follow up with that potential Buyer. We combine online, social, direct mail, print and email to achieve our objectives .
Our primary objective is to obtain multiple offers which will allow us to negotiate upward rather than down. If you are considering selling and want to learn more about our propriety marketing system, give us a call today and find out about the Luxe Advantage!
Worldwide Top Agent Network
We understand that some of our clients are selling their existing property and moving to a completely new area. This is why we are part of the national agent network which allows us to help you locally while selling your existing property while working closely with a top agent anywhere around the globe to help you find your next home. And conversely if you are selling elsewhere and coming to Central Coastal Florida.
If you have the need for an agent outside of our current service area, simply fill out the form below authorizing us to connect you with a top agent in the area you need them and we will make a personal introduction to help ensure that you have the best representation by a trusted top local agent in that area.
