We are definitely in a Sellers market. By definition that means prices are up, availability is limited and properties are selling within days! Great for the Sellers but disappointing for anyone that is looking to buy. One of the hardest things for a Realtor to do is to educate the buyers on what this market means to them. A buyer has to be ready to jump on a property if they find something they like. Procrastination is not going to work. Hanging back, low balling and delaying your decision is just going to result in deep disappointment in most cases. If the property is priced right and has no real problems it is going to get gobbled up. We have had some we listed that sold the very next day after we listed them. Unfortunately being a buyer in today's market is not for the faint hearted. A key to being a buyer in today's market it to work with a qualified Real Estate professional that can properly evaluate the subject property to see if it is properly priced. Also please note

We are starting out the Spring selling season strong! I most definitely could use more experienced Associates in both of our established markets (Lakeland / Polk County & St. Pete Beach / Pinellas County). Since we don't charge our Associates any fees we only hire enough personnel to handle the traffic in each geographical area. Although I am recruiting in 22 Counties in Central Florida I am focusing right now on filling out the ranks in those 2 established markets. NO FEES & HIGHER COMMISSIONS coupled with one on one Broker support makes Advantage Realty Florida worth the look. We sell Real Estate, making our $$$'s from Sales not off the backs of our Associates. Please feel free to contact me: Broker Richard Castret by email: AdvantageRealtyFL@outlook.com  and I can send you information on what we offer to our Associates!!   

I started my career in 2001 in Lakeland Florida. I moved to Florida from NW Ohio not knowing anyone in the area. I was in the Automotive business for 28 years up North and was looking for a change. The challenge for me was building up a "circle of influence" in a totally new area. My children were of school age and one of the tools for me was becoming involved in the community. Coaching my kids through Baseball, Softball and Soccer I was able to meet a lot of new friends and subsequently clients. I totally enjoyed either helping people find a new home or helping them sell theirs. Being a Realtor was a great career and a lot of fun. Things have changed a great deal over the years. Our industry has became a combination of pyramid schemes and gimmicks designed to confuse the public and causing Realtor's to lose focus on the task at hand, selling Real Estate. As a Broker I refuse to become part of the game. Advantage Realty Florida is focused on one thing, SELLING REAL EST
