Aventura & Sunny Isles Beach Luxury Real Estate

I’m not sure what you call them; actually depending on the circumstances what you call them can change. Realtors are licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulations in the State of Florida. This is the same governing board that licenses attorneys, physicians and similar professionals. So why is there such a tremendous difference in how we conduct ourselves professionally? I’m sure what I’m about to discuss is on the minds of a majority of the true professional realtors in South Florida. I am frustrated with the lack of quality real estate licensees who are actively engaged in the business of Real Estate. I take my profession very seriously. The truth is that I am responsible for the financial direction of what could be my clients’ most expensive purchase/sale. No one would tolerate the kind of irresponsible behavior from a lawyer or a doctor that they seem to with a real estate agent. It’s time for the real estate professionals to own up to the word “professional” and act accordingly. Follow these simple, expected courtesies:

• Returning phone calls
• Setting up appointments
• Keeping appointments
• Being sensitive to everyone’s
  time
• Behaving responsibly once you
  have an offer
• Following up with your client or
  another agent

These are fundamentals that should be practiced with each and every client, fellow real estate agent and transaction. Real estate agents who do not act professionally may have been lucky to participate in transactions in the past due to the popular market. However, they will become a dying breed and only those who rise to the word “professional” will stay in the business. The clients and the true professional real estate agents will not tolerate it anymore. Life is too short……we all deserve the courtesies that should be afforded to us.

Where can you get a licensed professional to represent you, spend as much time as necessary, educate you, help you with one of the most important and expensive purchases of your life and not pay 1 dime for it? And if you don’t find what you like… you owe him nothing!

Koslovsky Realty agents act as “single agents” representing buyers or sellers. We get paid at the closing, after all the work is done and you are prepared and ready to move in.. Buyers… why waste your time calling multiple agents; do you really think you’ll get a better deal? You definitely should Interview agents and continue to do so until you find one that will work with you and for you! A professional realtor will take all the time necessary to give you the comfort level that the property you have selected is the correct property for you. A true professional would not let you purchase a property that you couldn’t afford. A true professional would not introduce you to a mortgage company that was looking out for their best interest and not yours. A true professional is one who prides him/ herself on a reputation of honesty, integrity and performance. A true professional is one who works for his clients best interest and not his own. A true professional is one who works full time and all the time for his clients. A true professional is Sid Koslovsky, a 27+ year veteran and the agents he associates with in his firm.

Buyers are saying:
“I am serious about buying, but aren’t the prices going to come down even further?”

Sellers are saying:
“Just bring me an offer… I’ll reduce my price…”

While interest rates are in that “acceptable zone” and sellers have experienced a slow market since October 2005, now can be an excellent opportunity to take advantage of.

Buyers may miss their opportunity while waiting for the expected further drop in prices. In our small corner of the world preferred locations, sizes and conditions may have bottomed out.

On the other hand, Seller’s that refuse to be realistic have a strong possibility of realizing less for their sale if they continue believing that they control the market.

So before you find yourselves saying… “woulda, shoulda, coulda” align yourself with a Koslovsky Realty professional to show you the way.

All parties can benefit from the following tips:

Educate yourself, by having your Koslovsky Realty real estate professional: review the most recent sales, review what is active on the market including the history of how long they’ve been on the market and the price changes over that period. (When evaluating comparables, you should take into consideration similar size, location, views and condition).

Evaluate incentives to see what is actually more beneficial to your needs. A lower price, seller’s contribution towards closing costs, or perhaps a cash incentive at closing that could help pay for moving expenses, repairs, replacements, new appliances or furniture.
