Is Your Naples Real Estate Agent Wired In?

For the first time in my life, I spent the first part of my day in jury duty. I was there from 8:30 this morning til 12:30 and will be required to go back at 1:30 because somebody is going to trial. As I looked around the room at all the people waiting patiently just like me I noticed, I am the ONLY one still conducting business besides the man sitting next to me clicking away busily on his Blackberry who by the way is not a REALTOR, I could tell by what he was saying on a business call he made.
If we took the law of averages and I guessed there were approximately 75 people in the room, then that would mean there were 60 real estate agents. Ok just kidding about the number of real estate agents but seriously, I highly doubt I was the ONLY NAPLES REALTOR in the room. What was I doing? Working on my laptop. talking with colleagues about the hottest deals in Naples, updating www.ShannonLefevre.com, writing emails, returning emails, checking out the latest market updates, networking with 47,000 other industry related individuals. What was everyone else doing? Reading the paper, watching tv...(yes they have a tv in there broadcasting CNN's 9/11 anniversary updates), reading a fiction novel, sleeping, drinking coffee, staring off into space...What's my point?
Even when I'm requested to be somewhere else, I can and usually am still working the Naples real estate market...being the best I can be and all I can be while I can be.
If you're looking for a Naples Real Estate agent who IS dialed in and all about selling your Naples real estate...think, Smart Girl, Great Results!

What Do You Mean They Raised The Price?

In efforts to keep his team up and running, my BROKER has taken it upon himself to scout hot deals around our Naples real estate market and share them with the rest of the gang. Sometimes I post them here. He's pretty good at it too because all of the properties except for one that he's sent out has gone under contract within just a few days if not sooner. Nearly an impossible feat down here. Anyway he sends out a hot flash at ll:45 am this morning and by 8:00 this evening he sends out another one that says "Well, apparently the owners got too much attention...they raised the price...." Who says you can't raise the price? Funny thing is that it was listed by another company...Yes, us Naples REALTORS really do pay attention to pricing down here. Sometimes whole offices get involved!
