474 Cypress Green Circle in Binks Preserve of Wellington Florida.

Listing date: January 15, 2009.
Sale date: November 20.2009
Aida, the seller of this property was an absolute joy to work with.
She is one classy lady, who was recently widowed and no longer needed such a big house.
Aida and her departed husband had quite the life together and a very interesting family history which she was very excited to share with us when we met with her to list her home.
How did we get her listing?
She called us because we sent her our expired listing package.
Aida tried to sell it her house with another agent that we know in our area but their personalities did not click and the list price was too high.
Nestor was very clear with showing her with documentation of her competition and the market's declining values.
We take one year listing agreements and during that time we helped Aida see the current market values for her square footage in her neighborhood.
The selling feature to this property is that it is in Binks Preserve- a very sought after Lennar built community on a golf course close to all the Equestrian events and popular schools.
We knew in the beginning that this listing would sell which is the number one factor in whether we take on a listing or not.

Hi, Nice post. I also take one year listings in this market. I'm curious about your expired listing package. if it's something you wouldn't mind sharing - you can email me at royrealtor@yahoo.com.
Congrats on your sale!.
Roy
Congratulations on your sale, Katerina. I know you and Nestor worked hard at it.
Katerina - Isn't it nice to sell a home that is not a Short Sale - Congratulations! Now, one more question, how did you do the widgets for your FB, Twitter, YouTube - did you blogged about how to yet? :)
Petra- I had our VA make them. He does great work.
Congratulations to you and your seller. She obviously made the right decision and hung in there during a long marketing time (is that about your average?), and got a great price. Nice to hear a success story that is not a short sale.

As Roy mentions, I'd appreciate a peek at your Expired Listings Package as well.

Thank you -

Katerina, What a nice success story. The photo of her does look beautiful but the picture of your client and Nestor is priceless! I should think to do that more often.
Roy and Travis- I have written a lot of posts about how to write copy for expired listing mailings. You can look under my tags, expired listings, marketing, etc.
But we don't share our actual letters. We develop customized copy for agents who hire us to help them with their expired marketing campaigns. We only work with one agent per market also. Katerina
Loreena- Did you try to call me yesterday? IF you did, I am sorry I missed your call. I had to go get some more tomato plants with Nestor and we got into buying some other plants for our yard also. I then fell ill- again- ( getting really tired of that). Anyways, call me tomorrow night of monday night on my cell.
