Cape Coral Florida Real Estate

I hope you enjoy these humorous sayings by sellers. They are real.

I usually only post a blog once every two weeks, but I did not want you to miss this one.

Seller: I was trying to sell my home of over 6 months now. No one bought at the price I wanted.

Me: Well, let me look at your home and I will try to assess the problem and if you wish I will tell you why.

Seller: Ok! Thank you.

Me: How many showings have you had?

Seller: around 40 with two low ball offers.

Me: After viewing this nice lake front home and reviewing the asking price,I determined that the asking price is right.

Seller: Well why no reasonable offers.

Me: You have so many bushes, plants, banana trees (plants) that the buyers cannot even see the water. 1/3 of your value is the view. You are blocking 1/3 of your value. Remove the bushes etc and it will sell for much much more.

Seller: We like the plants. If buyers want to remove them, that is easy and they can do it themselves. That is not the reason. The market stinks.

Me: Well if the market stinks, evidentially 40 buyers have not agreed with your assessments. I strongly suggest you clean up the view.

Seller: No way!

Me: Ok! Call me when you change your mind.

Comments; If they ever sell it the way it is, it will go to an investor that can spend 3k to clean it up for thousands less.

I hope you will listen to a real pro that gives you good advice. Most agents are afraid to tell people the truth. The then loose the listing opportunity. I am not afraid to be honest and wait until the work is done. I know most buyers do not want to take on a task like this. They want a home with a view.
