June's Production Report

June has proven to be a very productive Month. My congratulations go out to my hardest working Realtor, Joe Baker. He has put together many deals and expects to have 5+ closings in July. He also has worked a couple leasing deals as well. Good job Joe.
I would also like to pat myself on the back as well. I finnally closed on the old Barry Motor Sports location this Month. I have had that property on the market for a very long time and it was nice to get the deal done.
Our leads traffic is picking up and it is getting difficult for us to keep up with our current staff of Realtors. I will be scheduling a recruitment luncheon for Lakeland sometime in July to illustrate to licensed professionals the value of joining Advantage. I will announce that here as well as sending out blast e-mails.

Homes Needed!

Homes Needed!  We really need some homes to sell. The inventory of quality homes is dwindling. Prices are beginning to edge up as the market improves. Real Estate like all other markets is a supply and demand market. If you have considered selling or if you have wanted to sell for some time and backed off when the market tanked you need to reconsider. When you select a Realtor try and select one that is looking out for your best interests and not just looking for a quick sale. Those that are looking for a quick $$$ may price your home on the low end just to get a quick sale. The Realtors here at Advantage are geared toward getting you the best dollar for your home!

2.9% 15 Year Fixed Rate Mortgage's!!!!

Every day the news keeps getting better. Today's published Interest Rates again broke records. 30 Year fixed 3.75% and 15 year fixed posted at 2.9%. There are still many properties available for sale but prices are starting to rise. I have my computer set to show me closed sales as they come in and there are several sales posted daily. March Home sales posted (Polk County) at 475 units and I look for April to be strong and May even better. 600 new jobs in North Lakeland and lower unemployment figures are encoraging as well. Our agents are scrambling to handle the call load and all the new leads and inquiries. It sure is nice to be able to expound on all good news on a Friday for sure. Did anyone miss us last week? Holiday weekend I took a break!
