Naples Guru Team is Growing

February 12, 2010

Over the course of the last few weeks, I have really taken a step back and tried to plan 2010.  My #1 Goal  is to enhance systems and delivery of information.  I want to continue to provide a high level of customer service.  I simply do not have the time to keep contact with all of you in a way that is fair.

 

In order to provide better service, I have decided to add additional Team Members.  This includes a full time assistant to handle administrative work.  Sheri Schultz has been with the Naples Guru Team now for several weeks.  She will be responsible for handling contracts.  Sheri is a licensed FL agent and is qualified to answer your questions. 

 

I have also decided to add 3 new agents to handle buyers.  These agents are fully equipped to help you in your real estate needs.  They went through a serious interview process.  There were many more agents not offered positions.  I think you will be really happy with them. 

 

I will continue to work as a Buyer’s Agent.   However, I will spend much more time selecting ‘Top Picks’ and enhancing websites and improving how buyers are delivered content. 

 

I want to thank so many of you for helping to grow this business.  My goal remains the same - To work as an advocate for buyers.

Naples Real Estate Train Leaving Station

OFF THE CHARTS!!  Sales increase 103% over last year comparing January 2009 vs January 2010

I have been preparing buyers for this important point - If it is really busy out of season (which it has been), selling will be EXTREMELY busy in season.  We are there.  January sales were the busiest in 5 years!  In fact, last January '09 was much busier than previous Januarys.  January '10 more than doubled January '09 pending sales. 

 

Residential Pending Sales by Month

 

 

 

Even more intriguing is that January tends to be much slower than February, March, and April.  Traditionally, January is the tire-kicker month.  Buyers arrive and they scope out what is going on.  Then they purchase in the following months when they discover something they like. 

 

So, I want to stress that in the coming months there will be a significant amount of selling.  Inventory is shrinking and buyers have much higher levels of motivation than they did in previous years.  This January I had 8 closings and that was my busiest month ever. 

 

The train is leaving the station...are you going to watch it pass by?

 

 

 

The average agent sold less than 3 properties in 2009.  Be sure you are dealing with a professional.  There is no cost for our service. 

 

Please know that the Naples Guru Team is here to help you in 2010.

 

 Sincerely,

 

 

 

Tim Ryan
