Unique qualification

When I sell a house, I appraise it first. My prices are accurate as reflected in my high close rate (chart below). If my appraisals were not accurate, my close rate would be more in line with my competition.


Below are Close Rates — the percentage of various companies’ normal listings (not short sales or foreclosures) they actually got sold over the last 6 years in Hillsborough County. Because it’s a percentage, the size of the company doesn’t matter. Close Rates are calculated (Sold/Listed) using the following MLS specs:

Property Type is ‘Residential’

Status is one of ‘Canceled (WDN-U)’, ‘Withdrawn Conditional’, ‘Sold’, ‘Expired’

    Special Sale Provision(s) is not one of ‘Auction’, ‘Bank Owned/REO’, ‘Short Sale’

County is one of ‘Hillsborough’, ‘Pinellas’

Listing Contract Date is 01/10/2007 to 12/31/2022

Home Selling Tips

  A Seller needs to do three things right to get a home sold Hire a Realtor with a high close rate (the percentage of their listings that actually sell); Price it right (“Price it Right and You’re Done!”) so your competition doesn’t kill you; Make it easy for other Realtors to show (we all sell the same inventory).

Ads and open houses attract general prospects who may buy something some day. They rarely sell the home advertised. If it’s priced right it’ll sell without these. If it’s not priced right, it won’t sell...
