Pensacola Real Estate Expert Agent Shane Willis Publishes New Blog: 11 Reasons for Sale by Owner is a Terrible Idea

Posted by In The News on Sep 14th, 2018

Shane Willis, an award winning Pensacola Real Estate agent and best-selling author, recently published a new blog about FSBO

Pensacola FL— Sept 14, 2018As an award-winning Pensacola REALTOR® and Best-Selling author, Shane Willis understands real estate and is a respected leader in the real estate industry. Shane recently published a new blog on why for sale by owner is a horrible idea.

9033ddcc-66f2-4e1e-bc97acf2f70e9e1cI understand the lure of wanting to handle this yourself. If you review YouTube there most searches are how to videos. The problem lies in not what you know but what you do not. I have told many coaches I work with in other area of my life this statement I don’t, know what I don’t know, so I don’t know the questions to ask” says Shane

In the blog Shane discusses 11 reasons to just hire an agent. Shane states, “There are horror stories after horror stories out there. I know of a client who was sued 3 years after closing because of a failure to comply with a Florida state law. In the blog I tried to go over some of the major reasons, but the thing about real estate that I love; No two transactions are ever the same. That makes this industry interesting to me, but very scary to someone who does not operate in it for a living.”

Pensacola Real Estate Expert Agent Shane Willis Publishes New Podcast: 5 Real Estate Reality TV Myths Explained

Posted by In The News on Aug 21st, 2018

Shane Willis, an award winning Pensacola Real Estate agent and best-selling author, recently published a new podcast busting myths

Pensacola FL— Aug 21, 2018As an award-winning Pensacola REALTOR® and Best-Selling author, Shane Willis understands real estate and is a respected leader in the real estate industry. Shane recently published a new podcast discussing the real estate “TV MYTHS”.

9033ddcc-66f2-4e1e-bc97acf2f70e9e1cOh we see all the shows on TV. I have been on some of them, and my agents have as well. Lets come out of TV land though and talk about reality says Shane

In the podcast Shane discusses 5 of the top myths portrayed on TV. Shane states,

 

Myth #1: Buyers look at 3 homes and decide to purchase one of them.
Truth: There may be buyers who fall in love and buy the first home they see, but according to the National Association of Realtors the average homebuyer tours 10 homes as a part of their search.

Myth #2: The houses the buyers are touring are still for sale.
Truth: Everything is staged for TV. Many of the homes being shown are already sold and are off the market.

Myth #3: The buyers haven’t made a purchase decision yet.
Truth: Since there is no way to show the entire buying process in a 30-minute show, TV producers often choose buyers who are further along in the process and have already chosen a home to buy.

Myth #4: If you list your home for sale, it will ALWAYS sell at the open house.
Truth: Of course, this would be great! Open houses are important to guarantee the most exposure to buyers in your area but are only a PIECE of the overall marketing of your home. Keep in mind that many homes are sold during regular listing appointments as well.

Myth #5: Homeowners decide to sell their homes after a 5-minute conversation.
Truth: Similar to the buyers portrayed on the shows, many of the sellers have already spent hours deliberating the decision to list their homes and move on with their lives/goals.”

Pensacola Real Estate Expert Agent Shane Willis Publishes New Podcast: Getting Pre-approval is Mandatory First Step

Shane Willis, an award winning Pensacola Real Estate agent and best-selling author, recently published a new podcast on pre-approvals

9033ddcc-66f2-4e1e-bc97acf2f70e9e1cIt’s highly recommended that you work with your lender to get pre-approved before you begin house hunting. Pre-approval will tell you how much home you can afford and can help you move faster, and with greater confidence, in competitive markets.” says Shane

In the podcast Shane discusses heartbreaking stories of when this step was not followed. Shane states, “I know people just want to go see the home, but this step needs to be followed. I have seen too many people miss out on homes because they didn’t get this step done, fell in love with house, and lost to another buyer while waiting for pre-approval”

Pensacola Real Estate Expert Agent Shane Willis Publishes New Podcast: R2-D2 and the Pensacola Real Estate Market

Posted by In The News on Feb 13th, 2018

Shane Willis, an award winning Pensacola Real Estate agent and best-selling author, recently published a new podcast Pensacon Real Estate.

Pensacola FL— Feb 13, 2018As an award-winning Pensacola REALTOR® and Best-Selling author, Shane Willis understands real estate and is a respected leader in the real estate industry. Shane recently published a new podcast discussing Pensacon and also low inventory.

9033ddcc-66f2-4e1e-bc97acf2f70e9e1c“I know I am a nerd when it comes to Pensacon. I had to find a way to throw R2D2 into the podcast somehow” says Shane

In the podcast Shane discusses lower inventory as the cause behind rising prices. Shane states, “The number of homes for sale has remained very low. Job growth lowered the unemployment rate to 4.1 percent by year’s end, the lowest level in 17 years. Rising income and consumer confidence has increased the number of prospective homebuyers. The net result of rising demand and limited for-sale inventory is a continued appreciation in home prices.”
