Aventura & Sunny Isles Beach Luxury Real Estate

The business of real estate follows a very simple plan: list a property, advertise it, show it, and ultimately sell it. Or: meet a prospective buyer, show property, and make a sale. It’s done every day by many agents who all possess a real estate license, a cell phone, and business cards. All believe themselves to be hardworking, accessible, and good at what they do. In these most economic challenging slow moving real estate times, your drive in this business is tested more than in lucrative ones. To make it in this business for the long haul, you must immerse yourself in it all the time. Sid Koslovsky cannot and will not give up on this industry. He is consumed 24/7 and the wheels of his mind are constantly thinking of new ways to generate a sale. He takes the time to really know his buyers and sellers. He tells it like it is often times at the displeasure of his clients who may not be ready or willing to follow his advice. When they do a deal is always made. His ideas know no time of the day, or day of the week. With the exception of golf once a week, (and even then real estate permeates the conversation on the course) the phone is always on and his accessibility is immediate. He plants seeds in the minds of owners for future deals and aides buyers with all sorts of creative financing. Countless hours are spent dealing with agents, appraisers, inspectors, and bank representatives so the deal actually happens. Other agents would never give this much time. Sid Koslovsky cannot walk away from a deal falling apart. He is consumed with making it happen, usually at all costs to him. He does the work of both agents many times, and prefers to do so if it will make the deal close. Everyone who recommends him knows they can rest assured their friend or family member is in the best real estate hands possible. Honest. Fair. Dedicated. Sid Koslovsky is the Broker you want on your side. Call him today.

This is supposed to be a cooperating business. Listings and purchasing are not always in the same office, but it would make life so much easier. Too many agents and offices out there seem to exist as islands unto themselves. It makes it so difficult for any diligent, serious, and straightforward agent to do business in this industry. It starts off with the basic listing on the computer. This is supposed to be the “bible” we all go to to find information about the property for sale. You cannot imagine the detective work you have to do sometimes, to decipher information, be able to contact the listing agent, and actually successfully make that appointment to show the listing. I don’t know if it is lack of experience, training, or pure laziness of it all that seems to perpetuate just the beginning of this process we call “real estate.” Why would you list a property and then not answer an email or phone call to show? In the age of emails and cell phones, lest we forget i-phones and blackberrys, how does an agent escape contact? In an age of a depressed and oh so slow market, how does an agent not move themselves and make the showing happen? Beats me. I sometimes wonder if each one of the owners of those listed properties really knew about the behavior of their selling representative, would they have made a different choice? I’m tired of hearing,” It’s just a rental,” or “ It’s still too high it’s not selling,” or “ the office secretary put the information in the computer it wasn’t me,” as very poor excuses for simple, accurate workmanship that we all need to rely on. Proper showing instructions, correct phone numbers, and all pertinent information as to fees, parking spaces, number of bedrooms and baths, and so on and so on, might actually get your listing noticed, shown and eventually sold. Try it. Communication in this business is the key, yet there is so much lack of it, cooperating often times becomes a non existing word. Buyers, sellers, the real estate agents, banks, title companies, attorneys, appraisers, and the mortgage brokers MUST make every deal a priority. Otherwise, the transaction falls apart. Let’s all work in this cooperative world of real estate and make the deals happen for everyone.

It sounds so easy: Meet a buyer. Find out what they are looking for in a home. Show them a few possibilities. Make an offer. BAM…sold, and you collect a commission. Meet a seller. List their home. Advertise the listing. Show the property. BAM…sold, and you collect a commission. Sounds easy. Who wouldn’t want to be in this business? If you only knew. For the true professional this has never been the case. Regardless of the market and how quickly homes are selling, you cannot be in this business for the fast commission. And when the market is as slow as it is now, our true dedication shines through. If you have engaged a professional realtor, and especially privileged to work with one at Koslovsky Realty, you know first hand how this business REALLY works. We get to know you and what you are looking for. Many hours and days are spent researching what is on the market. Countless times out looking at many properties until there is a true comfort for your purchase. When a contract is accepted it doesn’t end. We are there to take you through all the necessary steps to close: inspections, walk-throughs, mortgage applications, appraisals, renovation and decorating plans, glitches in the process and bumps in the road, insurance recommendations, attorneys, banks, and the final move. When your property is listed for sale, there is careful consideration and time spent on how the market will impact the presentation and exposure of your property. Advertising through the newspaper, Internet, signage, and mail-outs is carefully monitored and updated consistently. Once the property is under contract, the same care and concern is given as with a clients’ purchase to insure a closing. Still sounds easy? Well guess again. Rarely does it all go as planned. But with our professionals you will see dedication beyond the average Realtor expectation. When we say “it doesn’t cost any more to work with the best,” we are really saying it CAN cost you more IF you don’t work with the best. Believe it or not, it is more than just the amount. For you and for us. We take it from start to finish and hold your hand all the way. Give yourself a gift and experience more than just a sale.
