Selling Quickly Makes More $$$

With the housing market not expected to begin recovery until 2010 or even 2011, selling your property quickly and efficiently can make you more money now than if you were to 'ride out the storm'.

Short sales and foreclosures are grabbing the attention of many buyers, who have the advantage and are searching price first these days. Now more than ever it is difficult for Sellers to get their properties noticed with the growing number of these foreclosures on the horizon.

Today's St. Pete Times article on home prices tumbling---again---was more bad news, as it was revealed that from January of last year to this past January, Bay Area home prices fell 33%, and are expected to fall even further as more foreclosures and short sales saturate the market, causing property values to decline, etc....a vicious cycle.

Sell now or sell later? It depends on your circumstances. Selling now, in this market that changes every 24 hours it seems, will give you more of what you want---closure, peace of mind, and yes, more money.

Hayslett Team Gets Certified As Fractional Real Estate Professional

Hayslett Team President Kenny Hayslett returns home as we type from an intensive Fractional Real Estate Course held in Atlanta, GA. What is Fractional Real Estate? Simply put, luxury properties in equally luxurious locales that fractional owners can purchase and occupy for specified periods of time during the year.

Fractional Ownership costs can be anywhere from $40,000 to $1,000,000 or more. Properties involved in fractional ownership have all the details buyers are looking for, such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury spa-like bath rooms, access to the properties' golf and tennis resorts, etc.

The benefits of Fractional Ownership can be many, such as sharing the ownership of the luxury property without paying the full luxury price, especially if the property is used as a vacation home for several months out of year only.

Fractional Ownership is a somewhat new philosophy of owning, or partially owning, a luxurious property. The details and transactions can be complex however, if you don't have the right professionals by your side overseeing the terms and conditions, etc. Not to worry Fractional Friends...the Hayslett Team's President, Kenny Hayslett, is now certified through FHI as a Certified Fractional Real Estate Consultant.
