After more than 20 years in the North Florida real estate business through good markets and bad, this simple truth is proven right time and again:

What you paid for your home is irrelevant.

I understand this is hard for many people to hear because they think their sale price should be based on what they owe on their loan, improvements made to the house, how much they need for a down payment on their next home purchase, etc.  But homebuyers do not care about any of that.  A good Realtor will advise the seller that the price should be based on location, condition, specs (such as size, amenities, etc.) and recent comps.  Another factor is how quickly a seller needs to move.

Tis the season! There’s so much to be thankful for this year, including our Jacksonville Realtors being on track to surpass our company goal of $90 million in closings. November was a solid month for our agents, bringing in $6.2 million in sales and $7.2 million in closings. Congratulations to Pauline Cake, Woody Cake, Suzy Evans and Mirtha Barzaga for topping the sales and closings chart!

Our Top Listing Agents for November are Pauline Cake and her husband Woody Cake. Pauline and Woody had $1.1 million in listings sold and total sales of $2.3 million. It’s no surprise our World Golf Village experts sold two of their own listings in World Golf Village’s King & Bear community. They also sold their own listing in Samara Lakes. Out of their three buyer sales, two were in World Golf Village (one in The Cascades, World Golf Village’s premier active adult community, and the other in the King & Bear). Pauline and Woody’s third buyer sale was in South Hampton off of CR 210. Read more
