(01:11):
anything plans for the evening, I'mgonna move them to Saturday. I think
a lot of folks are probably goingto move into the weekend because it's so
it's a week night. Yeah,true, true, true. Will be
a little romance, little romance,little candles, a little very white going
on. Yeah, that sounds veryvery good. Count myself a mixtay put
together. Well, you have anadvantage that does not. All of us

(01:34):
have boundless library thanks to iHeartRadio exactly. That's awesome. Well, very very
good. So what about Juesday?And what are you doing? I have
a date with a forklift this evening, a forklift that sounds kind of heavy
metal ish going on. There,never lets me down, there you go?
Oh pun no pun intended? Allright, So zaying your work and

(01:56):
burning the midnight oil. Well,very good, very good. So what
do y'all think about the football game? What do you think? I was
so tired the next day. Iwas not expecting overtime obviously. Yeah,
but you know that's obviously a thrillerof a game though, right now,
did your team's perspective teams win?Who were who were you? I had

(02:17):
no dog in the fight. Thebranch got bounced out right weeks ago.
So I do happen to like theBills too, but I did. I
mean, I was kind of thinkingit was really gonna not go the way
everybody expected in the first two quarters. Yeah, forty nine ers showed up
and were taking names, and Idon't know, mahomies looked kind of like,
oh man, what's up? Butyeah, he looked it up in

(02:37):
the end, So it was.It was a very enjoyable game. What
did you guys think about the halftimeshow with Usher? Honestly, I sort
of zoned at that point. Okay, the big Usher fame. Yeah,
I get the spectacle and the fireworksand yeah whatever. But I liked the
end of the game because I gotto see my old neighbor on the field.
Who was your neighbor, Larry Zonka, Oh very streets over in Plantation,

(03:00):
Florida. Yeah, I grew upwith the songs there about my age
and small world. Well that's awesome, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I
thought Usher did a great job.I don't think he blew it out of
the water, but it was itwas a good app it was a good
show, It was good music,and of course everybody can get up and
dance and and enjoy it. Hisvideo streaming numbers just incidentally went up through

(03:22):
the roof the next day, sohe really did well for himself. I
would say, well, and notto mention the dude's like forty something,
forty seven. Yeah, look,he's in good shape for forty seven.
He moved, He moved well.Any disappointment amongst because you are resident swifty
in this case, there was nomidfield after the game proposal or something like

(03:44):
that. You know, I gottatell you that for people to even think
that was so stupid because they've onlybeen dating for like six months or seven
months or so. I just feltit was great that obviously she respected his
ability to celebrate and do his thing. It's not about her, and you
know, the media likes to portrayher as this media hog. There is
some drama honey in her net aboutKim Kardashian was actually there in a box.

(04:08):
She was in the box with JustinBieber, and she didn't get any
TV time, And so people arelike, Ooh, did Taylor Swift make
sure that Kim K didn't get anyTV time? No, every time they
went to pan to that box,not one person was watching the game.
They were all on their cell phones, so they didn't show them cuts to
Justin Bieber and that's the only personthey showed in Kim K's box. And

(04:30):
as powerful and wonderful as I thinkTaylor Swift is, I seriously doubt she
told the cameraman not to show KimKardashian. Oh please, it's ridiculous,
but yeah, I would hope thatafter the football seas, after he settles
down and they enjoy their lives,just be happy. Do what you do,
Yeah, I would say, becauseI know that too. It's whether
you're whether it's the fans in thestands of the celebrities and the skyboxes or

(04:51):
whatever. They're on their phones theentire time. Yeah, either taking selfies
or posting or reading or whatever.Get in the moment. You're the Super
Bowl for heaven, A lot ofpeople would have loved to have been there
to watch that game. And whenyou looked at Taylor's box, they were
enjoying the game. None of themwere on their cell phones, none of
them were taking selfies. It wasn'tabout them. It was about the game.

(05:13):
But that other group, it's theywere just there for the photo ops
and the social media like stuff.Bad. Yeah, and I doubt they
knew who was even playing. Sohow about a favorite commercial. We will
get to real estate at some pointby the way. Oh yeah, no,
no, I like the Uber Eatsone. I thought I thought it
was really really good. Everybody hatedthat one. Thought it was great.
I loved it because I'd seen somepromos with David Beckham and his wife and

(05:36):
Maria Beckham that were hilarious. Royce, yeah, who what the Paprika what
was it the Paprika Girls or something? I thought that was great and not
There wasn't really that many great commercialsother than that. I thought that.
I'm sorry, Ben Affleck, Ithought the Duncan commercial was stupid, and
yet again that's one that everybody loved. And that and Beyonce doing everything under

(05:59):
the moon and literally that was kindof funny. I appreciate that she could
laugh at herself because I mean,obviously her and Taylor Swift had the biggest
grossing concerts of twenty three. Yeah, yeah, and I just I thought
that was cool that she could laughat her Yeah, I thought that was
good. But nothing else really jumpedout at me as like, oh,
that was a great commercial. YeahI missed the Clydesdales. There were my
family. Yeah, I didn't missthe Clydes. I know they were supposed

(06:21):
to do a relaunch of that totry to recover from their horrible reputation,
but I didn't even see it.I know they got who they got,
Peyton Manning trying to stump for themto try to bring them back to life.
So yeah, I'm not a beerdrinker, but in our house we
will never drink bud Light, Sonever drink it. Sound there you go.

(06:41):
Interesting to know more and more aboutShannon. Right. What we also
know about Shannon is she comes hereand loaded down with details and information for
us. Final segment of the showis going to be all about Shannon slash
Matt's hot picks of the week,and that's where you're going to hear some
information on homes that you won't findlisted anywhere else. But we only started
off with a bit of an overviewof the market as it sits today.

(07:02):
You want to tell us what yougot there, we do. So what
we've got is, of course we'regoing to talk about Charlotte County and Lee
County. So Charlotte County, inthe last seven days, which was last
week, we had two hundred andsixty eight new properties go live, okay,
one hundred and eighty five of thoseunder contract, and eighty one closings,

(07:24):
which is good. I mean,obviously, like we talked about last
week, the market is. Youknow, if you're a buyer, your
choices are becoming you know, moreand more and more. You have a
lot of opportunities and you don't haveto settle, which is really good because
as a buyer three years ago,you were just throwing cash in anything that
was, you know, possibly active, and then you were hoping, crossing

(07:46):
your fingers and not really knowing whatyou were buying. And now you have
that opportunity to really say, Iwant the pool, and I want the
patio, and I want the waterand I want the updated everything. So
you have a lot of choice.I think of how many people back in
that age that time frame would makeoffers on homes and maybe it was a
good offer and so many sellers werea little bit of the picky side.

(08:07):
For example, well I don't wantto do FAJA financing exactly. And now
you now you're begging, Yeah,you're begging. Yeah. And it's once
again we try to get the messageout to anybody who's going to go on
the market. And that's something we'regoing to talk about in depth today is
you've got to you've got to beextra. You've got to be the nicest

(08:28):
house on the street. You can'tjust be mediocre and think that you know,
oh, it doesn't matter if it'snot painted, or it doesn't matter
if it's not landscape. You knowthey're going to buy it now. It's
it's the competition now. Yeah,you've got to get back in the game,
bring your age. Yeah. Soand if you're in Fort Myers,
well, you know, there's fivehundred new properties that came on last week,

(08:50):
so there's a lot of movement goinginto Fort Myers. What's really interesting
though, is there was four hundrednew contracts. So that tells me that
Fort Myers Keep Coral is extremely attractiveto people. A lot of people are
buying there. So four hundred newhomes went under or actually went under contract
last week. So obviously in thenext thirty to forty days, you know,

(09:13):
four hundred or actually maybe close toeight hundred new people will be coming
to that area or relocating sure inthat area. So that's a very active
market. That's an active market.Well, and obviously the landscape is much
much bigger, you know, biggercommunities and opportunities for job But as we'll
talk about in a few minutes,there's a lot of lot of industry coming

(09:33):
to our area too. I justwe talked about what a month ago about
the Costco coming to Northport and banthat thing is going up unbelievably quick.
You see all the industrial stuff goingon Airport area. I haven't been that
direction. I live north All That'sright, that's right. But yeah,
it's definitely it's it's it's our littletown. Is we can't really say it's

(09:54):
our little town anymore. I know. And I've seen a lot of folks
complaining. I knew, I knewthey would discover it happening. It's inevitable
everywhere. It is. Best youcan hope for is a few years before
you get discovered it's going to happennow, especially in this part of the
world. Well, but the goodthing about that is your property value is
increasing trom So there you have thatvalue. And you know, Florida is

(10:16):
one of those states where you knowyou can drive twenty thirty minutes and you're
in a whole other area. Soyou have opportunities, and the Patterson Group
can certainly help you find those opportunitiesif you want to find another undiscovered small
town. An excellent message to useas a jumping off point, as I
see we are up against the Clarygo We'll come back with more see some
more spreadsheets, so probably a littlebit more statistical analysis of what's going on,

(10:39):
a lots more real estate information onthe way. This is real estate

(14:03):

' two one eighty six hundred.You can also go to Matthew Patterson dot

(14:24):
com and incidentally, at Matthew Pattersondot com you're just seconds away from finding
out what your home is worth arealistic number, and that is at Matthew
Patterson dot com. Welcome Back onNewsRadio WCCF. Let's go back to Shannon
from the Patterson Group, and wewere talking about some of the numbers,
the raw numbers before we headed intothe break. If you got anything more

(14:48):
to share with this, because Idon't know, I don't know what all
those numbers are in front of you. It may be important, it may
not be so important. Well,there there there are just a view of
the sales of what's been happening inthe community based on different price points and
what's available. So it really hasn'tchanged a whole lot. Okay, I
won't spend a lot of time onit. I can say that anybody in

(15:09):
the let's just say the four hundredto six hundred thousand price range, you've
got almost twelve hundred properties to choosefrom, and then obviously it goes down
from there. If you're in thehigher price point, the six to eight
hundred thousand price range, you've gotthree hundred properties, eight hundred to a
million you have one hundred and seventysix, and then a million plus you've

(15:31):
got about another one hundred properties.So you know, it's a great opportunity,
like I said, for the buyerswho are in the market to really
get to see all the opportunities andcheck off all those little boxes on their
wish lists and not have to settle. So I definitely think that that's a

(15:52):
good thing, a good place tobe. You know. One thing we
haven't talked about yet is interest rates, and I think it's encouraging to see
that the Fed is now talking aboutpulling back on the interest rates. I
know there's been some inflation numbers bandiedabout the past couple of days, but
it does look like that is imminent, which is good news. Well,
I think they have no choice,you know, even though there's certain people

(16:15):
in our government that are under theimpression that it's not an inflation. We're
not struggling, and the American publicis doing fun. And you know they
think that because we're making more moneyby my check, we can afford everything.
But you know, we'll let themcontinue to ride their rainbow unicorns and
you know, have their fantasy.But for the rest of us, I
think, you know, mortgage rateshave to come down in order to really

(16:37):
see a big move in the market. Please be aware, though, And
the reason I brought this up isbecause the Patterson Group has got such amazing
strategies, not just to sell yourhome, but in buying homes as well.
And one of those strategies could involvebuying a home today and then refinancing
in the next three years because youknow the rates are going to go down
in the next three years, andrefinancing without any money out of pond.

(17:00):
That's a terrific idea. But toexplore that, you need to call ninety
four one six eight six hundred,as Matt is so fond of saying that
is yeah, you uh, youdate the rate, you marry the house
exactly, because the house is notsomething, you know, unlike a car,
where we have a car for twoor three years, then we trade
it up and do something. Ahouse is a long term investment, so
you have to be in it,you know, five eight, you know,

(17:22):
ten years is the average dependent onyou know, if you're someone who's
raising children, raising a family,or if it's an investment property, you
still hold on to it. Butand you, yeah, you you have
those options. So and once again, with the market the way it is,
you don't have to settle on whatyou get to purchase. So okay,
So I wanted to just say alittle shout out to our amazing aricellas

(17:45):
we call her Shelley Nims. Sheis Matt's right and left hand. Any
of our sellers who deal with Mattget the pleasure of also dealing with Shelley.
She had a birthday on Sunday,so I just wanted to wish her
another happy birthday week, because youknow, what better way to celebrate somebody
as amazing as Shelley is to giveher an entire week of celebrations. I

(18:08):
love that somebody says, oh,I got you a gift, but it
got delayed and shipp and that's rightcommon these days. Yeah, it's not
going to be here till Friday.Fine, I'll celebrate all week. Yeah,
I mean a month, I meanyou know. Yeah. So yeah.
And interestingly enough, we sent somesome of our staff out to do
a little recon on Margaritaville. Oh, because I know we've talked about Sunseekers

(18:33):
a lot, but you know,Margaritaville is just down the road, about
thirty five minutes down on Fort MyersBeach. I will say that these fans
gave it two thumbs up. Theysaid it was absolutely worth it. It
was vibrant, lively, just togo like a daycation just to go down
hey the you know, you canpay seventy five dollars guest fee and you

(18:55):
get access to the pool to youknow, everything that's there. It's right
there on the beach, she said. The music was fantastic, the food
looked fabulous. You can get acabana. So yeah, just got very
very positive reviews on Margaritaville. Soif you want to do something different,
you know, you can't really dothat at Sunseekers because the pool. I

(19:15):
don't think you do day passes atSunseekers. That's nothing they've introduced yet.
I haven't heard that. So ifyou want to go to have that resort
environment and you know, kind oftreat yourself and be in a in a
really nice, safe place, Margaritavilledefinitely can't. I'm so glad to have
that intel us too. No idea. No, we're gonna we're going to

(19:36):
plant a Patterson Day of Fun downthere eventually in the near future. So,
speaking of fun, this weekend,there are a ton of things to
do here in Charlotte County. TheMummies I guess they're a band, right,
No, I'm just kidding. No, I heard of them. This
is the Funky Undead band of thefive thousand year Old Mummies will perform with

(19:57):
a special guest, Chicago Blue guitaristFrank Bang. This is going to be
at Lashley Park on Saturday, Februaryseventeenth at seven pm. So weather should
be good. The Mummies are alwaysa big draw, are they. I
have never never been to them.Yeah, absolutely, okay, And the
weather is supposed to change Saturday night. There's some question rain as to how

(20:18):
quickly it's going to change, butit's looking now like the rain is going
to wait until after that performance.So that's a good news. Well,
and I noticed the last couple ofconversations we've had about weather and rain.
Oh, it's going to rain allday. It's going to rain all day.
Literally, it rains for like tenminutes and then it's done. True
that. But then if if you'renot in the Puntagorda area and you're down
more, I'm sorry, up morein the Northport and Venice area, I'm

(20:41):
a party on the plaza. Thisis a performance by the B Street Band.
This is the original Bruce Springsteen tributeband. It's going to be Saturday,
also the seventeenth, at seven pmat cool Today Park. The spring
training field for the Atlanta Braves.That's that cool. Yeah, so there's
if you're if you're Springsteen fan,this might be the place for you to

(21:02):
go. And if you've ever beento that facility, that venue before,
it really is terrific. So yeah, it's definitely great for the family.
Be no, absolutely, here's somethingfor the kids. Saturday the seventeenth,
ten am to one pm. Thisis out in Inglewood. It's called Paint
the Town with Chalk, Family ChalkChalk Art Day. Say that fast ten

(21:22):
times. Wow. This is afree event. So if you want to
go down to Inglewood and check outsome chalk art and see how well you
are being an artist, I'm headon there. That's a neat idea.
Yeah, you remember doing that asa kid. Well, you know the
cool thing my niece is in Texas, their high school, when you became
a senior, you got to paintyour parking spot, not with chalk,

(21:47):
but with like real life pay.So yeah, the kids would go there
and they would design their own parkinglots and high school so you know,
just kind of go out there andanything to be creative, encourage youth creativity.
We love it. And then ifyou want to go south. Here's
for all you Pine Islanders. Thisis the Pine Island Mullet Festival. For
those of you who were confused,this is not your nineteen seventies hairstyle.

(22:11):
This is the fish Sure. Iknow, I know. Zaane was getting
really excited there. Well he's beengrowing it out for exactly this event.
Well it still looks good, sokeep it up. This is on Sunday
the eighteenth at eleven to five atjug Creek Marina and Fish House on Pine
Island. There's a blind folded tastingtest. I think I'm going to have
to keep my eyes open on thatone. Live music cast net contests.

(22:34):
So if you're adult and kids,you can throw a cast net. You
got to make that perfect taco there, or no, I throw a taco,
you need to throw a perfect pancake. There's a version of a mullet
toss and all kinds of seafood,so you have plenty of things to do
this weekend. Now I'm craving smokedmullet. I've never had it. Oh,

(22:55):
I only use my mullet frozen andI put a hook in him and
I throw them out for sharks.That's what I think so Isically, there's
a huge stack of information still togo through. We'll get to it.

you got there? Well, youknow we were talking about the Duncan commercial
during the Super Bowl and the PuntaGorda Airport has announced. Now get it,
don't get it. I'm get tooexcited, but passengers can look forward
to a new Duncan Express keyoks openat the big at the baggage claim at

(27:51):
Bailey Terminal at the end of theyear. So we still got ten months,
ten months to go. But Duncan'sis coming to the Puntagorda Airport.
There's also going to be a pizzalittle place there a pizza restaurant that will
be open to the public at theair center on Challenger Boulevards. So our
tiny little airport is expanding. We'vegone to Duncans and pizza. Now.

(28:12):
Is there any information about these replacingexisting food options, because there aren't a
whole heck of a lot anyway,or is this an addition to I believe
this is an addition to Yeah.And I mean obviously we've got, you
know, new routes that are goingto be coming. I think didn't we
talk about d C and Baltimore lastweek? So yeah, here we go

(28:32):
Maine, Washington. D C beginsin May. So yeah, there's definitely
some some things going down there atthe airport. So with that growth,
it's more food man, Yeah,pizza and and duncans. Yeah, great
idea. You know, we talkabout what's happening in the market too.
And and here's an article about thebaby. Baby boomers are empty nesters,

(28:55):
so those without children nearly the arethe ones that owned three ten homes with
three bedrooms plus. So they're bighomes. And studies show that the ones
that have the bigger homes are notthe ones that are really selling right now.
The report of it talks about,you know, between the ages of
sixty and seventy eight, they dokind of they have their homes paid off.

(29:18):
They're retired most likely, and Ithink they keep their larger homes because
they have the families that come andvisit them. And obviously mortgage rates are
a part of that. But sosometimes you know, the boomers are not
the ones that are doing most ofthe moving right now. They are actually
staying put and staying in their largehomes. Okay, so that was interesting

(29:40):
information. Let's see, we've beentalking about the legislature and some of the
issues that they're facing over our waterways. You know, there's all kinds of
things happening. There's bills that arebeing passed. So I hope everybody pays
attention to what goes on in ourlocal government. I know we get sidetracked
with our big national circus that goeson, but our local government, there's

(30:03):
a lot of really great things goingon. They're passing the bills to help
with our conservation of our Southwest Floridawaterways. Obviously we talk I talk about
Captains for Clean Water all the timebecause that's a really great group of people
to support. So I talk tothe legislature this week about citizens insurance too.
For those who heard that, Yeah, sure, them talking about that

(30:25):
crisis and to be sure, weare in an insurance crisis so well.
And they also mentioned on the radiothis morning that some of the established homeowners
that have properties that are valued sixhundred thousand and above are also eligible to
get insured by citizens because it wasa cap previously. Yeah, that's going
to make a difference for a lotof homeowners. Definitely, definitely. Did
you ever go to swamp buggy races? I have not been. I have

(30:48):
given away probably in the thirty yearsi've been in this radio market, I've
given away thousands of free tickets forthe event to Floridians and I've never been
myself, but I certainly know aboutit. It is supposedly one of those
things you just got to do.Yeah, it used to be something I
remember. I got a picture here, and these are like swamp buggies back
in the oh lord, nineteen fiftiesmaybe from me started at forty the late

(31:11):
forties is when they started. Itdid about one hundred years ago, yep.
And I mean obviously Florida was largelya swamp before it was in marshes,
So yeah, there was there wasa place in Benina Springs where they
came along and started these swamp buggies. And there's a race they're going to
bring them back coming at the endof the year. So the twenty twenty

(31:33):
four swamp Buggy racing starts off Decembersecond and Florida Sports Park in East Naples,
So you have about ten months,maybe nine months to get your swamp
Buggy up and ready and start todo some competition. I believe that'll be
a championship race as well. Thereare some intermediate races actually, I think
one coming up in March, andit's it's again one of those things that

(31:53):
I think as a Floridian you gotto put that on your Floridian bucket list
in a sense and see it.It's tremendous fun. The family loves it.
And at the very end when theytake the swamp buggy bride, yes
it is actually a woman dressed upany but I go down there, you

(32:14):
go, and they dunk her inthe mud. It is well worth the
trip. Interesting. Well, Idon't know if I would ruin a wedding
dress for that, but you know, at the right price. So I'm
sure if anybody is on social mediaor on the news, everybody has heard
about one of the most expensive homesin the United States is on the market.
So I know, you know,maybe collectively we could go together.

(32:37):
It looks like it's enough square footage. The three of us could happily live
in it. You've got a spouse, I've got a significant other. You
know, pets would come too.But yeah, this is in Port Royal,
which is one of the most exclusiveneighborhoods in Naples area. This home
has a nine acre lot. Ithas three homes on it. So wait

(32:57):
a minute, we don't even haveto share. We can have our own
home. Even better, for it'sgot totally twenty two thousand square foot okay,
two hundred and ninety five million dollars. Oh. I don't know what
the mortgage payment would be on that, but I would definitely have to ask
for a raise. So Matt,I'm asking right now on the radio if

(33:21):
I'm going to buy this house,I might need a little bit more income
to be able to afford it.But it's a really cool property, and
I think about all the parties wecould throw. Oh and it's got a
two hundred and thirty foot yacht basinand one hundred and eleven foot tea doc
So there we go. I mean, I was concerned about where we run
to park the boats, but wedefinitely have plenty of room for the boats.

(33:43):
We can have a mini golf courseout there. We can do a
putting range. My goodness that thepossibilities are endless, as if we could
afford even a closet. Probably yeah, probably thinking not not at this current
moment in my life. But incidentally, at today's rates with a credit score,
your monthly payment would be one million, nine hundred and twenty nine thou

(34:05):
seventy eight dollars. I think we'regood, the three of us. We
could combine that and maybe make zeropoint zero two percent of that payment for
one month and then get served theeventual Lord. Yes, but I can
only imagine what the interiors? Yeah, what does what are the what do
you get? What do you doto prepare for putting the house on the
market? And what are the interiorslook like? And that's kind of what

(34:25):
we're going to chat about for afew minutes. Here is staging. That's
something like we've talked about getting yourhouse ready to go on the market.
It's good segue. I thought something. Your home may not be worth a
third of a billion dollars, butit can look like it. It can
look like it. And you know, that's that's what I mentioned earlier about
the sellers where you have to haveyou have to kind of go out over

(34:47):
and above. Now it's no longerstatus quo. You've got to do the
landscaping. You've got to do thepaint, you've got to power wash the
driveway. You know, you've gotto make your house stay out. So
we at the Patterson Group have stagers. I don't know if you knew that,
but if let's just say you wantto, you know, put Matthew's
manner on the market and you're justlike, oh, I've got all this

(35:09):
stuff here, and I got pictureson the wall, and I got knick
knacks here, but I just lotsof them. Yeah, I got stuff,
I got chotchkes. We have astager that can come in and say,
with all due respect for the viewingpublic, you might want to put
your you know, baseball card collectionaway, or maybe you know, the
wall of photos, maybe let's dosome different pictures. So we like to

(35:31):
come in and kind of help youif you're struggling, you know, declutter,
organize, and there's some really goodpoints of you know, why staging
matters real estate professionals. We've donestudies to show that a home that is
staged actually gets a little higher pricethan ones that are just left as is,
so it might be something that intoday's real estate economy really is a

(35:52):
must consider. And having been aroundand immersed and especially doing this radio show
for as long as as we've beendoing, I've come to gris with the
fact that when that time comes,Matthew's Matter is going to need a judicious
pairing down. And that's fine becauseyou know, some folks can take a
little bit of offense at that,but realistically, your stuff is wonderful to

(36:14):
you and it'll look great in yournew place. For the incoming buyer,
we need to neutralize. You mayhave that office where you've got bright purple
walls, and then you love purple, and it may be like, oh,
it's my favorite color. But tothe person coming in, maybe you
walk in, you're like purple.I hate the color purple. And you

(36:35):
know, not everybody has that samevision of you know, the seller's designer.
I remember shopping true story, whenI was shopping for Matthew's Matter and
we were looking at a whole hostof different homes. Now we ended up
Matthew's Manner, which has gray ishwalls throughout. Yeah, neutral, but

(36:57):
I happen to like gray, soI hap to light the color a lot,
and neutrals are certainly recommended. Andthere were many homes we looked at
where we were having this conversation.Well, the pink girl's bedroom, that's
awful cute, but of course we'dhave to paint that. And the purple
office, yeah, we'd have topaint that. Yeah, And the kitchen
is just too dark and small tobe in a dark color. We'd have

(37:19):
to paint that. You start makingthose kinds of conversations, you end up
even subliminally, you end up lookingat the place that's got the gray well,
and then you deduct all your dollarsstart, you know, for you
as the buyer, you're like,Okay, now I've got to pay for
paint, and now I've got topay for new cabinets, and now I
got to paint for a new carpet. So sometimes the seller has the advantage

(37:40):
to where you can kind of dosome of those updates yourself. Go to
a more neutral palette, Maybe replacethat twenty five year old carpet that's in
the bedroom that you know you've beenwalking on for all those years, and
put you know, hard surface floorson, and a lot of times people
walk into a vacant home and theycan't visualize their life there right exactly.

(38:00):
You know, people have moved out. It's it's tile floors, and it's
just tile floors for for miles.You're like, oh my god, I
don't know how this would look.So we can come in and set up
a living room, put the sofa, the table, the rug, the
TV stage, a bedroom or hereand there and kind of give people a
little bit of a foundation of whatthat home could look like with their things
inside of it. And you're stillliving in your home, it's okay that

(38:22):
Patterson Group can help arrange storage foryour stuff temporary. It's just temporary.
We can put stuff in storage inyour garage. We can pack it away
very safely, very you know,respectfully, put it in some storage boxes
and just help declutter you while youhave people coming through and looking. So
it's a it's a service we provideand we feel very passionately about it.

(38:43):
And we said, you know,studies have shown that your home has a
perceived and what's the word I wasthinking of, It has a perceived increased
value when your home is staged anddecluttered when it's going on the market.
And I think it is so easyas a from a buyer's perspective to have
the slightest thing, even if you'renot realizing it's happening, kind of push

(39:06):
you on to look at the nexthouse. True, is it a big
deal to repaint a couple of rooms? Could you negotiate that into the contract
and have the seller pay to paintthose rooms and you'd never have to deal
with it? Absolutely you could.But there's something subtle that happens in a
lot of us, and you justpath of least resistance says that other house
doesn't need me painting exactly. Yeah, because you want to move in.

(39:28):
You don't want to have to waitanother week because now your night after work
you have to go paint this house. And how long is your list of
things to handle before, during,and after the move anyway? Do you
really want to add painting on topof that? Yeah? Well, And
and I think for the seller's representationall shows. It also shows that they
care and they have pride of ownershipwhen they present a home ready to go,

(39:49):
ready to move in as much asthey humanly can or financially can.
Yeah, but in for these Idon't think we're picking on colors. No,
no, no, nothing more wonderfulthan having your bedroom the color you
I've never lived all my houses havepainted walls. I'm a big color person.
I love you know, I'm nota fan of white walls. So
we got off the beaten path.Yeah, we've still got some stuff,

(40:09):
but I also see we're working againstthe clock. We have a lot of
listings to talk about, so we'regoing to take a time out kind of

Welcome back to your real Estate Exposedon NewsRadio WCCF, brought to you by
the Patterson Group at Keller Williams.I want to give you the contact information
now and then repeat it at theend of the show after we get through
the hot listings of the week.You might very well want to give them
a call nine four one six eightysix hundred for the Patterson Group, or
go to Matthew Patterson dot com.We were sort of in the middle or
towards the end of our conversation aboutstaging, and certainly covered the interior quite

(44:37):
nicely. There's things to be consideredoutside as well, I think so.
I mean, obviously your front yardis your first impression. So when you
pull in, like you said,you know, you look at different houses,
you pull into the driveway and ifit's dirty and mil dewey and there's
dead plans and there's broken curbing.You did a drive by of Matthew's mannor

(44:58):
didn't you? No? Maybe maybeno. It's just you know, when
I drive home, I look atmy community and I just look at everybody
has such pride of ownership and it'sjust so enjoyable for me. We were
talking about weeding. To pull intomy driveway and look at my landscaping,
and and it's like, yeah,everybody is of the same mindset. So
you know, that's that's your firstimpression. So you already some people will

(45:22):
look at it and go, youknow, I don't even want to walk
in the house because if the frontyard, yeah, driveway, if it
looks this dilapidated, what's the insidegoing to look like? So yeah,
take you know, here's a niceweekend, the weather's good, we're not
summertime. Go out, you know, get some get some weed killer and
spray the weeds, and you know, get the kids involved. Have them
pull some weeds. You know,they need to earn some money for the

(45:44):
fare for whatever. Pay them tocome over do it. Hire somebody to
mow your yard, to do somecurbing, some trimming. You know,
I was gonna say, hire aprofessional power wash business. They don't cost
a whole heck of home. Areyou're talking three hundred bucks to do you
know, your house and get thecobwebs out of the light fixtures, you

(46:05):
know, clean up the driveway.It's it's those little things once again as
a seller, you really need toput yourself and set yourself above the guy
down the street that's asking, youknow, a ridiculous price, and well,
look, you know he's asking this, but look at my house,
you know. And one other thing, like, you know, a lot
of us have those rooms, youknow, those open floor plans where your
dining room isn't really your dining room, but it's not your office, but

(46:29):
it's your not your home gym,but it's also something else. You got
a multi purpose room, multipurpose,but not everybody likes multipurpose. So to
find your rooms, make sure thatyou know, if you have an office,
make it an office. If it'sa workout room, make it a
workout room. Back to the lighting, you know, your front porch lights,
you know, take a broom andget all the cobwebs and the dead

(46:51):
bugs out of same on your patio, you know, take the brush and
clean the pool cage, get thecobwebs out. So just kind of just
kind of go and look at yourhouse through different eyes as if you were
somebody who were going to buy it. Would you pay the price you want
for this house in its current condition? If your answer is no. Then
if you have questions, call us. We can put you on to some

(47:12):
great vendors we can send you know, we can send you a list of
people that we've done business with.If you need help with landscapers or anything
like that, you know, thePatterson Group is here to help you.

I'll repeat the phone number in asecond, is because they keep a continually
growing list of area vendors that wecan trust, quality, affordability, that
kind of thing. And so Ineed somebody to pressure wash my house.
