It's been a while since I've provided an update on Zillow's inaccuracy when it comes to real estate in Venice FL.<br />
<br />
Today I pulled screen shots of Zillow's map of Venice FL homes for sale. According to the map, 1254 homes are for sale (including villas, condos, townhomes, and single family homes.). However, on the same page under "Venice Real Estate Facts", it says 1184 homes are for sale.<br />
<br />
Zillow contradicts itself:<br />

Folks, Zillow is not a credible real estate website. They sell your information to real estate agents who can't figure out how to market themselves online. For the most accurate Venice FL real estate information, visit my website <a href="http://davidbarrhomes.com/">davidbarrhomes.com</a>.<br />

A survey by the National Asociation of Realtors shows that over 70% of home sellers talk to one agent when they list their home for sale.<br />
<br />
As a Sarasota FL area home owner, it's time to do more research when selecting the right Realtor to list your home for sale.<br />
<br />
We are seeing a huge number of homes go off the MLS once listed, and it's usually due to being overpriced. Has your <a href="https://www.davidbarrhomes.com/venice-expired-listing-specialist">Sarasota home listing expired</a>, after sitting on the market for weeks and months, with showings but no offers?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JkkwLZ0ZmfY/XV6MsftA11I/AAAAAAAAGeQ/lft97xFTgN8Iu-aNdbRhoNIZ9eq7-QFSgCLcBGAs/s1600/Expireds%2BSarasota.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sarasota FL expired real estate listings" border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="335" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JkkwLZ0ZmfY/XV6MsftA11I/AAAAAAAAGeQ/lft97xFTgN8Iu-aNdbRhoNIZ9eq7-QFSgCLcBGAs/s400/Expireds%2BSarasota.png" title="Sarasota FL expired real estate listings" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Make one more call to me, and find out how my targeted approach will produce a buyer. People searching online for a home (94% of home buyers) in your specific neighborhood or condo building is the best type of buyer. Think about it: buyers searching for "sarasota fl real estate" are not at the end of their discovery journey. A buyer looking at targeted properties will prevent a horde of tire kickers in your home, and will reduce the time it takes to sell your home.<br />
<br />
Why don't all Realtors do this? They don't have the elements of my online marketing strategy, and they don't understand the basics. I have a uniquely developed and highly trafficked website with dozens of pages for specific condos and neighborhoods. They can't produce the 400+ HD video tours (see my YouTube Channel <a href="http://youtube.com/c/davidbarrhomes">youtube.com/c/davidbarrhomes</a>) that will rank in a Google search.<br />
<br />
Here's a good example. Search on Google for "gulf horizon venice fl". Ready to sell, or re-list? <a href="mailto:sarasotadavidbarr@gmail.com">Contact me</a> for a customized plan and case studies.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Two categories are worth further analysis. First, median time to contract increased 26% over last year. I believe this is due to home buyers from up north cushioning or extending the closing date on their Florida property, so their current residence can sell. This in return is affecting median time to sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second is median percent of original list price received. There's a lot to dissect here. Over priced listings aren't selling, and aren't reflected in this stat. We call these expired listings. If the property is priced according to the market, it's remained a steady 5% off list price for quite some time. Every property is different, but use this number as a guide for what to expect.</div>

A recent study from Realtors in June 2019 shows that 76% of real estate sales contracts close on time.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are 4 reasons they don't close on time, which are:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) Financing issues;</div>
<div>
2) Appraisal;</div>
<div>
3) Home inspection or environmental issues;</div>
<div>
4) Title and deed issues.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Financing issues usually arise from the buyer purchasing a big ticket item during the escrow period, which changes their debt to income ratio or affect their credit rating. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Appraisal issues involve the home's negotiated price versus what an appraiser says it's worth. An important part of my job is to make sure you aren't paying too much, so the property does appraise.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Home inspection and environmental issues can occur from a home owner not agreeing to make repairs, or the discovery of unknown issues on the property. For example, one of my clients selling their home in the DC area had his closing delayed after a buried 1940's gas tank was found in the yard.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Title and deed issues can be fixed by the closing agent, but will require signatures from the home owners, which can cause delays.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While a delay in closing isn't the end of the world, I understand that your plans to pack up and move are centered around a reliable date. It's a big part of my job, besides helping you locate the right home, to make sure that your closing occurs on time.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">It seems you can't watch HGTV or cable news without being bombarded with commericials for different ways to buy and sell your home. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Real estate is a huge part of our economy, and "disruptors" are desperately trying to enter the market. Zillow has been trying it for years, and is now offering these "instant offers" to buy your home in some markets.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">The prospect of having a sign in the yard, dealing with showings, negotiating a price, and making repairs, can be stressful for some home owners. The reality is that you'll be giving up a good chunk of any equity you've earned in your home if you decide to go the "instant offer" route. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">If you see a commercial offering to buy your house with an instant offer, and even help you move, it's too good to be true, based on a recent study from MarketWatch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">For those of you who are retiring, downsizing, or moving into assisted living, you'll need as much equity from your current home as possible.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Food for thought: Banks who foreclose on homes offer them for sale on the open market, rather than taking offers directly from buyers. </span></span><br />

I recently put out some statistics for the Sarasota real estate market. From real world experiences, I can tell you that the stats are somewhat misleading.<br />
<br />
I believe that prices, and the dollar volume of sold properties, is flat versus last year is because listing agents are overpricing homes for sale.<br />
<br />
Working with two sets of out of town home buyers over the past two weeks illustrates what's happening in the real world. In both cases, the buyers made offers on homes that had a recent, significant price reduction, one in Lakewood Ranch and another in Sarasota. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-btIOOg5arGQ/XQpNXmrGsJI/AAAAAAAAGZo/18aQ6PCwhUAHbUblKby2du4rts3lJP-XACLcBGAs/s1600/buyers%2Bagent%2Bsarasota.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sarasota real estate buyers agent" border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="335" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-btIOOg5arGQ/XQpNXmrGsJI/AAAAAAAAGZo/18aQ6PCwhUAHbUblKby2du4rts3lJP-XACLcBGAs/s400/buyers%2Bagent%2Bsarasota.jpg" title="Sarasota real estate buyers agent" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In both cases, the buyers were in multiple offer situations, after the homes had sat on the market for weeks.<br />
<br />
We are past income tax season, and with many of our area's home buyers coming from out of state and selling their homes up north, our local real estate market is experiencing a high level of home buyer activity.<br />
<br />
One piece of good news, particularly for home owners in Lakewood Ranch, is that the new home builders are not producing a large number of quick move-in homes right now. Priced correctly, your resale home will look much more attractive to potential buyers.<br />

This time of year I'm usually busier with home buyers than I am during our typical seasonal winter months.<br />
<br />
In the spring and summer, for the past few years, serious buyers are taking a short vacation time to come back to the Sarasota area to buy. It's a good time to give you an update on what's happening in our real estate market.<br />
<br />
This morning I got an e-newsletter that showed the Tampa/St. Petersburg market to be in the top 10 nationally for what is considered a "buyer's market". An increase in the number of homes for sale there, combined with low or flat price increases, is tipping the negotiation scale in favor of home buyers.<br />
<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sarasota County Single Family Homes April 2019 Stats</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /><br />
Sarasota County real estate trends are somewhat similar. Single family home sales year to year for April show a slight decrease in closed sales in 2019, a flat median sales price, and an increase in the time to contract. The overall inventory of homes is up as is the month's supply of inventory. Sarasota County has 5 months of inventory, and a "balanced" market is 6 months. I've been seeing these kind of trends the past few months.<br />
<br />
If you're a Sarasota home buyer, what does this mean? <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Don't be afraid to offer a lower price. Home owners are seeing the same trends you are;</li>
<li>You may be able to offer a lower escrow deposit, as long as you are prepared with a mortgage pre-qualification letter or proof of funds for a cash purchase;</li>
<li>Your ability to close quickly will help you in a negotiation;</li>
<li>Be mindful of the age and condition of major systems and appliances, and ask for a home warranty to be paid for by the home owner at closing.</li>
</ul>
<div>
More choice is good, but you should be working with an experienced Sarasota buyer's agent to save you time and help you with a strong offer that will get you the best terms for your Sarasota home. <a href="mailto:david@davidbarrhomes.com">Contact me</a> for a tour.</div>

Don't forget Nokomis FL if you're in the market for a home in the Sarasota or Venice area.<br />
<br />
Nokomis has a convenient location just south of Sarasota. You can take advantage of the amenities in both cities.<br />
<br />
If you're a boater, you'll love the selection of homes for sale on canals that lead to the intracoastal waterway. From Nokomis, there's no bridges to the Gulf of Mexico heading south to the Venice Jetty.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
If you're a beach person, Nokomis Beach is relatively uncrowded compared to Siesta Key. There's lots of parking, with easy beach access. <br />
<br />
For quick casual places to eat or a cold adult beverage, you can visit <a href="https://www.sharktooth.biz/">Shark Tooth Beach Concessions</a> just south of the main public parking area. <a href="https://www.popssunsetgrill.com/">Pops Sunset Grill</a> is my personal favorite, and they recently added a huge tiki bar overlooking the ICW. Pops is on the mainland, right next to Gulf Harbor Marina before you cross Albee Bridge.<br />
<br />
Nokomis real estate ranges between starter home cottages in the high $100,000's to luxury waterfront homes over $1.5 million. I'm leaving Casey Key gulf front homes with a Nokomis address out of this price range.<br />
<br />
Take a look at a current list of Nokomis homes for sale on my website: <a href="http://davidbarrhomes.com/nokomis-fl-homes-for-sale">davidbarrhomes.com/nokomis-fl-homes-for-sale</a>, and <a href="mailto:david@davidbarrhomes.com">contact me</a> for a tour.</div>

Venice FL is not only an interesting place to live, it's also an interesting real estate market.<br />
<br />
It's no secret to anyone in the real estate business that we were hit with a double whammy in 2018, which is still having effects: 1) Red tide kept summer and fall vacationers away; 2) The downtown beautification project was ill timed and is taking longer than anticipated.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
<br />
Who can blame vacationers and potential home buyers from staying away?<br />
<br />
The slow market in the last half of 2018 is just now beginning to trickle down to home sellers. There's more properties on the market now for you to choose from, and a lot of price reductions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
<br />
In fact, when touring homes with my last two sets of customers the past couple of weeks, practically every property had been reduced in price.<br />
<br />
As far as choice goes, there's even 3 units for sale in The Sansovino on Venice Beach (which rarely has any for sale), and several in Gulf Shores as well. There's a nice range of prices for single family homes on Venice Island as well.<br />

When you're working with me as your real estate agent in Sarasota, Venice, or Lakewood Ranch, the state of Florida treats our relationship with customers differently than you may be used to in your current state.<br />
<br />
In Florida, real estate agency (relationship or representation) with customers is by default termed as a "transaction brokerage relationship".<br />
<br />
A <b>transaction broker</b> provides a limited form of representation to a buyer or home seller, but does not represent either in a <b>fiduciary</b> capacity. In other words, when you hire me to buy or sell, we do not act as a single legal entity, for which you can be sued for my actions, or I can be sued for your actions. Transaction broker duties (which most customers expect anyway) are:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Dealing honestly and fairly;</li>
<li>Accounting for all funds (such as escrow deposits);</li>
<li>Using skill, care, and diligence in a transaction;</li>
<li>Disclosing all known facts that may affect the value of residential real property which may not be readily observable to the buyer;</li>
<li>Presenting all offers and counter offers in a timely manner, unless a party has previously directed me otherwise in writing;</li>
<li>Limited confidentiality, unless waived in writing by a party. Limited confidentiality prevents the disclosure that a seller will accept a lower price than advertised, or that the buyer will pay a a greater price, that a buyer or or seller will agree to financing or terms other than those offered, or any other information requested by a party to remin confidential;</li>
<li>Any additional duties that are mutually agreed to with a party.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pKXTZCiFZec/XGQ7L5-dYtI/AAAAAAAAGQI/7JDSAjg5SVox0CPY8sZX886ZWBuNSKOQQCLcBGAs/s1600/buyers%2Bagent%2Bsarasota.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Learn more about transaction broker relationships in Florida" border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="335" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pKXTZCiFZec/XGQ7L5-dYtI/AAAAAAAAGQI/7JDSAjg5SVox0CPY8sZX886ZWBuNSKOQQCLcBGAs/s400/buyers%2Bagent%2Bsarasota.jpg" title="Learn more about transaction broker relationships in Florida" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Beware real estate brokers touting single agent over transaction broker status</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is most likely what you as a home buyer or seller would expect from your Realtor anyway, but it's just called something different in Florida.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Transactions brokers are NOT the same as <b>dual agents</b>. Dual agents are <b>fiduciaries</b> to both parties, and that kind of real estate agency can cause a lot of legal headaches. Dual agents are illegal in Florida.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The topic of transaction broker versus "<b>single agent</b>", which includes all transaction broker duties, plus a <b>fiduciary relationship</b>, has become an issue because some brokers, like Keller Williams locally, are claiming single agency representation is superior to transaction brokerage. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would disagree with that claim, since you are incurring additional liability by working with a single agent, whose actions can become your actions in a court of law. </div>
<div>

The South Venice beach ferry is one of Venice FL's hidden gems. You don't have to live in South Venice to take advantage of this unique service.<br />
<br />
The ferry, a large pontoon boat, leaves from it's dock on Lemon Bay Drive, and takes passengers across the ICW to an unspoiled perserve and beach on the Gulf of Mexico. No condos or homes spoil your view.<br />
<br />
Take a tour of the area with my exclusive HD video:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0t0ayfHjoLE/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0t0ayfHjoLE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ferry is operated by the South Venice Civic Association. There's also a boat launch, kayak launch, and fishing dock. There's plenty of car and trailer parking for boaters, and I've never seen the parking area full, even during holidays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I've been saying that Zillow is a problem in the real estate business for years. There's two reasons for this:<br />
<br />
1) They publish inaccurate data, that the public thinks is accurate;<br />
<br />
2) They give a platform for online exposure to Realtors who have no idea how to market themselves, so how can they market your home for sale?<br />
<br />
A recent article by the Seattle Times on January 20, 2019 (<a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/how-accurate-are-zestimates-zillow-awards-1-million-to-trio-for-improving-them/" target="_blank">read here</a>), reports that the median Zillow Zestimate has a 4.5 % error rate nationally. That's $22,500 on a $500,000 home.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CqkeTQZjAlo/XFnKy4t8_-I/AAAAAAAAGPw/t6VSx2Y0VvEF7G61-BOPeJTyyRrs9d_2QCLcBGAs/s1600/zillow-red-x.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="https://youtu.be/0t0ayfHjoLE" border="0" data-original-height="203" data-original-width="150" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CqkeTQZjAlo/XFnKy4t8_-I/AAAAAAAAGPw/t6VSx2Y0VvEF7G61-BOPeJTyyRrs9d_2QCLcBGAs/s1600/zillow-red-x.png" title="https://youtu.be/0t0ayfHjoLE" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Just say no to Zillow</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Zillow is not a licensed real estate broker in most states. It makes it's money from agents who pay to have their head shot on their site, because it gets a lot of traffic. Zillow does not have to follow real estate law or conform to the Realtor Code of Ethics or MLS listing rules. If they did, they could not leave off the market or sold properties on their site, to make it appear they have as many listings are Realtor.com. They also could not mingle FSBO (for sale by owner) data in their statistics, which would further damage the accuracy of home values.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In short, Zillow is a sham, and I've been saying it for years now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't make a $22,500 mistake. When you're ready to buy or sell your home in Sarasota, Venice, or Lakewood Ranch, <a href="mailto:sarasotadavidbarr@gmail.com" target="_blank">pick a Realtor </a>who knows how to market themselves. You'll be thrilled how they market your property for sale.</div>

<br />
I've said it many times in many blog posts. Home buyers are searching in depth about real estate markets. More buyers than ever have the flexibility to telecommute, so they can live practically anywhere. <br />
<br />
This means I employ the latest technology and apply it in imaginative ways to reach potential buyers for your home or condo for sale. I think a smart buyer already knows the basics of winter weather, but they probably don't know much about why they should live in your neighborhood, in your home.<br />
<br />
That's what I'm here for.<br />

I've made owner financed properties one of my real estate specialities. There's a lot of confusion around this subject, especially since the advent of Dodd-Frank financing rules after the real estate crash of 2008.<br />
<br />
First of all, a property owner offering a single owner financed home for sale during a one-year period does not qualify as a "lender" who would need a mortgage license under Dodd-Frank.<br />
<br />
Secondly, when you visit davidbarrhomes.com for owner financed properties, I'm able to display listings from our MLS based on the financing offered. I include lease option homes, because most listing agents aren't familiar with owner financing and don't bring it up to their clients. With the right offer, a home owner offering a lease purchase option may consider owner financing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-swlTvC9jiAo/XE8K2lLky0I/AAAAAAAAGOo/jeO7agb0rqAjrDAGY9o_FmZwXLMIi9A3gCLcBGAs/s1600/buyers%2Bagent%2Bsarasota.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="268" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-swlTvC9jiAo/XE8K2lLky0I/AAAAAAAAGOo/jeO7agb0rqAjrDAGY9o_FmZwXLMIi9A3gCLcBGAs/s320/buyers%2Bagent%2Bsarasota.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Owner financing is not for those with bad credit</b>. You should expect the home owner will run a credit and background check. After all, you will be, in a sense, business partners.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Buyers who already own multiple properties, making a bank mortgage expensive and difficult;</li>
<li>Buyers who have other properties to sell before they move to Sarasota;</li>
<li>Buyers who have cash, but just don't want to deal with the mortgage process.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's what you should expect as a home buyer in an owner financing scenario:</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Downpayment of at least 25% of the negotiated sales price;</li>
<li>Interest rates of 8 to 15%;</li>
<li>15 or 30 year amortization;</li>
<li>2 to 5 year balloon period (period the mortage in full comes due);</li>
<li>No prepayment penalty.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I work with a real estate attorney who also specializes in owner financing. The attorney drafts the mortgage agreement, handles the closing, and files the mortgage with the county, just like a bank financed property. The attorney will also provide automatic bank draft payment options or provide you with a coupon book.</div>

I'm continuing to see a large number of expired listings in our MLS. Expired listings mean that the listing contract term between a home owner and a Realtor has lapsed, and the home is off the market.<br />
<br />
We're supposed to be in a strong reale state market, so what's the cause of this? It's usually one of these reasons:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The listing price was too high;</li>
<li>The property was not in proper condition;</li>
<li>The property was not staged properly;</li>
<li>The listing agent had no marketing plan beyond what their Broker offered.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwCGiuVn1UE/XD9EkvH6tzI/AAAAAAAAGMM/q1eX6sZIIIcI4kcS9UGaIUOIyDVmk2yHgCLcBGAs/s1600/expired%2Blistings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Expired listings in Sarasota" border="0" data-original-height="704" data-original-width="1600" height="280" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwCGiuVn1UE/XD9EkvH6tzI/AAAAAAAAGMM/q1eX6sZIIIcI4kcS9UGaIUOIyDVmk2yHgCLcBGAs/s640/expired%2Blistings.jpg" title="Expired listings in Sarasota" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Expired listings in Sarasota from the MLS</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
I want to bring attention to the last bullet point above. The first question you should ask a Realtor who wants to list your Sarasota home for sale should be "What do you know about SEO and online marketing?". This is very important.<br />
<br />
Every major Broker has basically the same marketing plan. Of course, your home is special, and it should be marketed that way. SEO means "Search Engine Optimization", and online marketing is crucial. The goal should be to highlight your home not just on it's merits, but also, to make your home easily accessible online, where we are now spending 11 hours a day, according to some studies.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>I go beyond the typical Broker marketing plan when listing your home for sale</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
This means making your home listing appear in a search on a buyer's mobile device as they are driving neighborhoods or going to Open Houses. It means your individual property shows up on my website in a search, not Zillow or Trulia. You should want an interested buyer to speak with me directly about your home, not some random agent who appears on a Zillow listing for your home.<br />
<br />
Online marketing is crucial for the success of selling your Sarasota home. <a href="mailto:sarasotadavidbarr@gmail.com" target="_blank">Contact me</a> for more information.<br />

Che Vista condos on Venice Island in Venice FL are now complete. I spotted trucks moving in the first residents last week.<br />
<br />
Here's an updated and final video for Che Vista, now that construction work is completed:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0rQElgu8YL0/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0rQElgu8YL0?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Che Vista has direct beach access through <a href="https://www.venicegov.com/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/38/225" target="_blank">Chauncy Howard Park</a>, and most units have some kind of Gulf of Mexico view.<br />
<br />
These units sold for over $650,000 when new, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and private elevators. Che Vista is pet friendly, allowing two large dogs. Condo fees are $496 monthly, but can change once new construction is completed and management is turned over to the owners.<br />
<br />
No resales have come on the market yet, but you can <a href="https://www.davidbarrhomes.com/che-vista-condos-venice-fl" target="_blank">book mark my website</a> and check when they become available, or <a href="mailto:david@davidbarrhomes.com" target="_blank">you can let me know</a> if you'd like an automatic email update as soon as the first Che Vista condo resale hits the market.</div>
