Speaker 2 (00:53):
Good, good morning. Yeah, oh we doing buddy, go ahead,
good good, All right, we got a good show today.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Welcome Shannon, Thank you glad to be here.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Where are we going to start? You know, I want
to say you know what I love well won it's
been it's been pretty exciting a couple of weeks, and
we're going to talk about that. As far as real
estate and what I'm seeing, what's going on. I like people, well,
I do, I do, I see all some of them,
I would say, not all people. But I love helping people,

(01:26):
you know, accomplish their goal.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I see that every day when you walk in the
office and you've listed a property and you tell their
story and you are so happy and excited for these people.
You're like, We've got to get this household for these people.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I love it, and uh as well, love a challenge.
I've realized that as well.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
There have been several there is.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, but you know it's going good and I'm really optimistic.
I mean, you know, to look at the numbers. So
this week and I wasn't sure what week, which week
it was going to, but it looks like it's this
week early in May, our new contracts has passed.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Our new listings very nice. It's not bad. So she
had talked about probably mid year, so we are a
little early.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, I'm okay with that.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Other you know, absolutely under promise and over exactly. That's
always the good motto.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
So yeah, it's really exciting to see for you know,
so anyone listing, what that means is we put more
listings on or put less listings on in the last
seven days than what one under contract. Now not a
huge spread. One hundred and eighty one under contract, one
hundred and seventy six new listings, one hundred and ninety
four closings. But very very exciting to see that trend

(02:42):
go in the other way.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, it's going to be it's it's not going to
be a massive numbers change, it's going to be small gains.
So but that's good it's happening.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, Well, and it depends it depends on your you know,
your thinking here, as we've been saying for months, you know,
as being aire and out there looking at property wanting
to make a move. Of course, everybody's training to time
that perfect time, you know, you want to buy low.

(03:11):
And I feel like we're there. Could we see still
a little bit of adjustment, Yes, I don't think huge
huge adjustments. That buyers are seeing that and they're starting
to make moves. So very excited about that.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Very cool.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Okay, what else have you seen happen the last couple
of weeks.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well, I definitely have seen the buyers are It's interesting
to see the buyers where they are and where they
want to be. And I think we've always like we've
been talking about the selection of opportunities that these buyers
have at their disposal with all the homes that are
on the market. They are now, you know, like we
talked about what three and a half four years ago,

(03:52):
they were just taking any house, I don't care if
it was, you know, a greenhouse with a purple roof.
They were just taking it. And then they were having
to have buyers remorse and like, well, this isn't exactly
what we wanted, and we really wanted a pool. Well
now they pretty much have. If you have a list
of twenty things that are must haves or even want,
you're getting eighteen of those.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
So they're getting the house that they really want without
having to settle or make this well, we can always
add the pool or oh, I guess we could always
redo the kitchen. I think the sellers have gotten, for
the most part, the message, make your house the most
attractive house on the street.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's a beauty contest.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
And yeah, it is a beauty contest, and the buyers
will buy it because they don't want to. They don't
want to come and do all this work.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, the majority correct because they don't have to. Right now.
They don't have to because in the market before they
were like, hey, it's cool. I can do this, I
can do that. So you know, that's the thing you've
got to, you know, position yourself with what the current
times are. Is what I'm hearing you say to me.
They have options, yes, and they have negotiation power, which

(05:04):
is huge.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
They do, they do.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's a lot easier to not have buyer's remorse when
you don't feel like that you've overpaid for something.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
And when you haven't conceded too much because nobody likes
to concede. I mean, that's you know, exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Sounds yeah, yeah, I can't I couldn't say, but.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I have noticed that. I was just telling you in
the car right over, how what a weekend it makes
with the lack of people. It was like a quick exodus.
You know, we knew after Easter a lot of our
community would be heading back north. But you know, I
walked to the park yesterday and there was nobody. There

(05:47):
was nobody. I feel like the the Don Henley song,
you know, the Boys of Summer, Nobody on the road
and you're going to what s word. No, I'm just
going to say, it's May and there's not as many
people outside because it's getting hotter. Is that better way
to say.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's a better way to say, because you're going to
poke the bear because I'm going to tell you right now,
I don't believe in it. Okay, I won't get on
board with it. When it comes to real estate, I
see it a bit different, and my numbers prove it.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I bet if you try to go to dinner on
a Friday night anywhere in Charlotte County, you're going to
get a.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Table that I can get on board.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, but not in relation to you know, I have
that conversation all the time. Oh season, season, season, we
missed it, we missed it. No, I disagree.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Completely, Well I do. I mean, I agree with you
on the respects that people have left. That doesn't mean
the business has left. Because now you've got all the
people up north who have sold their homes or are
in the process of selling because their spring market doesn't
start till basically the snow leaves. So that was March, yeah, May,
and now they're going to sell and now they're going
to come. So summertime actually is a very good time

(06:54):
for real estate because that's when the Northerners decide to
come and move to Florida.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, and they may very well been here. Oh this season,
they were checking out the area, checking out surrounding areas,
making a decision on neighborhoods, communities, the lifestyle they want
to live, and now with what they want to be
close to.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
As our community has expanded, you know, to Weldon Park
and all the great new communities that are coming, they
have a lot to choose from. So, yeah, they ran
up north and put a sign in their yard and
they'll be back the summer to buy.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Paper showers, bring may flowers right good Ton, to photograph
that home. So and most of the are a lot
of them, I can tell you. And I can speak
to this because I lived there my whole life nineteen
years ago, and you know it was a lot of
them wanted to get The goal was going in the spring,
get sold, get moved. Yeah, get into the new house

(07:46):
up there, or you know, if they're buying a second
home here or if they're buying a primary here, then
they've got time there. But but before the kids got
back in the exactly snow started flying, holidays were coming.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yep, they want to be settled because and when they
have their family down for Christmas, you know, they want
to have the pool ready and villa and I ready
and furnished and painted and all the good stuff done.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
So yeah, it is so yeah. So I'm really optimistic
in the activity we're seeing. And we will talk more
about this. And we've got some community events. I believe
some information.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
We have some information. There's not a lot going on
this weekend. I think it tends to what I noticed yesterday.
I think there's I think all the festivals and all
that is kind of come to an end.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I know one thing that's going on this weekend. What
Mother's Day.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
That's right. So stick around. We will catch you on
the other side.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Perfect.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's scary. The subliminal messaging is working.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
That's right, that's right. All right, let's get back to
the show with Matt and Shannon.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
All right, Matt, here's a question. Do you like beef jerky?
Do you like roasted nuts?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah? I can get down with that.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Okay, what about fudge and caramel popcorn and beaver nuggets?
Have you ever had a beaver nugget?

Speaker 8 (12:10):
No?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
And I don't like caramel popcorn regular popcorn.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
See, I'm a kettle corn girl. Yeah, oh, I love
the kettle corn. So have you ever been to a BUCkies? Matt?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I have not, actually, and I've heard of BUCkies over
and oh okay.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
So I lived in Austin for a year and then
Matthew Patterson begged me to come back to Southwest Florida
and work with him, and I did, and on my travels,
I stopped at a BUCkies and I've heard about him,
and they have them in Texas and it had like
one hundred and twenty gas pumps. I parked so far

(12:43):
away from the building, and I looked at the building
and I'm like, I'm not even going to take the
time to walk there, because it'll take another hour out
of my life just to get inside the building. But
for those of you who've actually been inside of BUCkies,
and many of my friends have, it is like the
place to be. So and I have an article here
from the News Press that BUCkies is looking at Southwest Florida,

(13:07):
Charlotte Harbor specifically about possibly building a BUCkies. Now supposedly
they were going to go to Lee County and something
happened and they dropped the ball. Lee County did, and
so now possibly at Harborview. There's a lot of land
there right before the interstate and it's on the water,
and so I believe there is there is talk of

(13:29):
a Bucky's coming over to harbor View exit, and obviously
other development like a hotel space, commercial space, some restaurants,
so kind of making it maybe a pretty big rest stop.
Because the next closest BUCkies, I believe. I think there's
one coming to Tampa, all right, but there's one. The
first one in Florida was in Jacksonville, Slash Saint Augustine

(13:52):
and then Daytona. But they're over fifty thousand square feet.
Can you imagine a convenience store fifty thousands worf? I
mean that's like one.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
It sounds lovely. I'm going to have to be the
judge of this myself.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I think you'll be wearing a Bucky's T shirt if
it happens.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
They have really good beef breast skits.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Oh it's and they supposedly have the cleanest bathrooms in
all of America.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay, let's get back to real estate. Just saying, yes,
I'm excited. But you know, now, if it was already open,
then I could get on board.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Hey, but think of how easy it is to tell people,
you know, how to find the Patterson group. Take take
the exit where the BUCkies is and Charlotte Harbor. Come
find us. We will. We will help you live close
to BUCkies. If that's your dream. It could be somebody's dream, Okay,
it could be.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm just saying, all right, Okay, so I'm going to
do like we did the last couple of weeks. I've
got good feedback on that. We're going to mix up
the you know, our our listings and the homes that
we want to feature and talk about and throughout the
show instead. If you haven't to wait till.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
The very end, good because I think we have a
lot of great properties to talk do.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
And I want to talk about this house on north
Shore So.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Which is right close to where that BUCkies would be.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Here we go with the BUCkies.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I'm just saying it could be your dream come true.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
All right, and we'll first let's get you into the house,
all right, forty four sixty north Shore Drives. So we
talked a little bit before I get into this. Actually
we talked a bit about the buyers. We're seeing the
buyers start to get re engaged more, honestly they are.
They're seeing the buyers and you know, yes, the market

(15:30):
has changed, the market has come down. But you know,
if you just do a little bit of Google and
then you see all kinds of information on Ponta Guarda,
We've set it for a long time, this area port
at Northport, it is. It is still way up the list,
but now on top of the list of best places
to invest it is, and the words out everyone knows it.

(15:52):
So it's just a matter of time here. So what
we're seeing is those buyers start to take advantage of that,
but many are, so you're seeing home sell in my opinion,
lower than I thought they would have.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, I think I do think it's lower and slower.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Slower, lower, And again, you know, everybody putting their best
foot forward this, you know, putting stuff into the home
that maybe they weren't before. So you're seeing a lot
of price reduction. That's where I'm going here. Yes, okay,
very common And I get the question all the time,
oh well that's going to look bad. No, what's going
to look worse is if you're overpriced. Well, because nobody's

(16:33):
gonna yeah nobody.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
I mean, you're going to drive right by you for sure.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
In this market that we have today, the right thing
is is when your agent is in showing you the
market and explaining why they're moving you and what they're
moving you to, because you know, as an agent, we
do not make the market. We communicate it with that.
We have got some exciting improvements on some pricing on
homes that I just I know that that they are

(17:01):
going to be moving forty four to sixty nor Shore Drive.
This is now, this is right on the harbor.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
That's a great property.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, yeah, your boater fishing from your Oh my gosh,
I'm so impressed with this house.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
This home has just been adjusted to one million, two fifty.
Now to put that into context, there is no way
on earth that you could buy this land and build
this house for even close to that with all of
the custom features. This is coastal living in its finest,
three bedroom, three back, two car garage. Yes, of course,
it's got a pool overlooking the harbor, large family room,

(17:40):
one hundred feet of waterfront right on the Peace River,
brand new doc offering over twenty nine hundred square feet.
So if you've got a lot of family that you
enjoy spending time with but you.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Still don't want to be on top of each other,
that's right.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Or you have you know, you have a lot of friends.
That of course, when you buy in South Florida, in
our area and you're on the water, you get.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
You get company, you get friends, you get to know you.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
So gourmet kitchen, spacious master features, you've got all stainless
still appliance, it's granite counters, wet bar, wine fridge, entertaining
home is what I'm trying to spell out here. The
master suite has dual sinks, walking closets, luxurious bath stunning
water views outdoors is really what you picture. I know

(18:30):
myself when I'm in Indiana tired of shoveling snow. This
is what I'm picturing of living in Florida with the
You've got the screen line obviously, gorgeous water views, heated
saltwater pool, fully fenced backyards, green pool side is zebo
private dog for fishing, kayaking, twenty twenty two, metal roof,

(18:54):
twenty four dock propane generator. You've got it all and
every flight off of ice seventy five yep. Yeah, sit
downtown Ponta.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Gorda, Yeah you are. It's and it's that's the That's
the beautiful thing about that particular community is you know
it says we're right off the interstate. Yeah you are,
but you once you get off the interstate, or once
you get off town, off the main road, you're in
your perfect oasis and you never want to leave.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's right, all right. Another home I want to talk about,
so if you want to be there, you know, in
an active community that's got amenities, Let's talk a bit
about this house, which, by the way, close You've got
a clubhouse, fitness center, two pools, tennis, pickleball, bochy ball,
all kinds of schedule activities that a way you don't

(19:40):
have to schedule it. You can just participate and have fun.
This home is at one three zero six four Creek
Side Lane. It is priced at three seventy five.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
That's that's a great price.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
That's right, And I know minds are getting a little worse,
but I read it correctly. Yes, you did seventy five
resort style living. You've got a two bedroom, two bathroom villa,
private heated pool, salt water. It's saltwater extended lanai, which
I like those oversized la nies, especially when you get
into the villa, because you know, you feel like you

(20:14):
have this, this single family home, but yet you don't
have all the upkeep.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Correct right now? Does this you said this has its
own pool?

Speaker 7 (20:24):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (20:24):
No? Community?

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Oh, I'm gonna say, because that's that's what I love about.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, Crease, I yes, And also you have the.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Community exactly, so you have your own pool. But then
if you have company over, then they can go to
the community pool. You' all going to hand out the
big community pool and have fun and have a more
quieter place at you know, your house, A little party
at your house, that's right. Good options. If you get
a bunch of kids.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Okay, So now we're gonna go to forty five ninety Ternberry.
I cannot. I am just shocked that this property is
still here. We had a showing the other day. I
thought for sure it was going to go under track.
So you still have time. I shot some video with
Kristen on this property, forty five ninety Turnberry. It is
listed at three hundred thousand, and it is absolutely immaculate.

(21:13):
It's a three bedroom, two bad two car garage. It's
in Turnberry Trace, so just off a Toledo Blades. You've
got quick. Actually it is, it really is. The access
is incredible. And of course they're building a new hospital.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Isn't this one of the larger villas in that community?

Speaker 9 (21:32):
There?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
It is? And and on this one has the new roof.
It is ready to go. It is uh. And I
love the two car garage because again some larger homes
absolutely north You've got stuff, You've got bikes, you've got toys.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
This this has a huge kitchen in a master suite.

Staining, still appliances. You've got the granite countertops again. This
villa has the extended I had that done after the
fact because they wanted more room. They're big into plants
and flowers and just a great location. Again for three
hundred thousand. Next three one two Mendoza Street, Pona Gorda.

(22:17):
This one is listed at four hundred and ten thousand.
It is home is located on a very quiet cul
de sac, which I like the cul de sac having
a kiddo private. It's a little safer as far as
not as much traffic.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Although I did almost have a I thought a FedEx
guy was gonna run me down yesterday coming around the
cul de sac. But I made it. That's good.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well, I mean he has to have a delivery time.
That's that's his, I know.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
And I was going slow. I'll tell you, I was
looking at some construction being done on a house and
so I'm kind of just looking around to be beep.

Speaker 8 (23:55):
Customer service matters and really makes a difference in choosing
a realtor. I'm Todd Matthews and listen to this review.
Shawna was getting ready to move to the area and
needed to find a place to live as soon as possible,
so she reached out to the experts at the Patterson Group.
Nicole from the Patterson Group went right to work and
was able to quickly find the home for Shauna and

(24:15):
North Fort Myers. Shawna says that Nicole and the Patterson
Group provided awesome customer service there it is throughout her

Who's going me? You not it? Okay, No good, because
I got a lot of properties, so I know we're
going to space the mount. But I'm gonna give you
a few of our coming soons. Plus I'm really excited.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Where is that?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Matt really?

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:23):
All right? So one thirty nine Set, one hundred and
thirty nine thousand, seven thirteen Riverview Circle, it's upon a
corda nice two bedroom, two bath. We've got another one
at one forty five and that is six eighty three
Blackburn Boulevard, same community, two bedroom, two bath, golf access

(27:44):
out to Maaca River, Charlotte Harbor via ninety slip marina
well complete with a boat ramp, making it a boater's
paradise for sure. Extensive recreational activities and amenities include two
heated pools. You've got a hot tub, tennis, pickleball, shuffle board.
Everybody's got courts, horseshoe pits. And you gotta have a

(28:09):
fitness center of course. Yes, we got to stay active.
So if you want to have an active social calendar,
Harbor Cove offers numerous activities, including water aerobics, arts and crafts,
which I know you might laugh at water aerobics.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
No, that stuff's hard.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's good on bad knee in the water a lot easier, absolutely,
and it is hard. It's actually hard.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
It is hard.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, arch and crafts, woodworking, bingo, dances, potlucks, and just
all kinds of great activities. Seventeen thousand square foot activity center.
You've got again the woodworking shop, library, billiards room, computer room,
a lot of hobbies and socializing.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
So is this a fifty five and plus community or not?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
It is?

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Oh man, I gotta say that happen in place.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Spinning one hundred ninety eight is just a fantastic place. Uh.
Next we're gonna go to three zero five zero River
Shore Lane. So this, this home, as well as the
other property of us talking about, is in Riverwood. Oh yeah,
very well taken. Absolutely. I would just live on a
golf cart. Oh yeah, all the time. This home is

(29:20):
going to be coming to the market soon. It is
a courtyard style home, so you have the casita out
with the well. It's very fancy for I call it
a poolhouse.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
But you know, can I have a pool boy in
a cabana boy.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
That is optional at your own expense?

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Okay, gosh, not included. Okay, cabana boy not included. Make
that note.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I know it. But here's what's really cool when you
have this type of home, which I've sold several of
them over the years. The pool. You know, you've got
the wall that it's completely private. The home surrounds this,
so to be in a gated community but yet still
have that privacy and when the guests come to have
that separate room for people that like to have that privacy,

(30:03):
it is a great style for entertaining.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Absolutely, I love that.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, a lot of you know, a lot of my
clients that have that have purchased these homes said they
spend the majority of their time out there.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
No, I mean the majority of my time outside. When
I'm home, we are outside on the patio, yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Drilling, watching TV, swimming in the pool. It is again
just Florida living. Obviously, Riverwood has a dog park in
the community.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Golf course, tennis courts, course of a clubhouse, multiple clubhouses,
tennis courts are nice. I've played there before. Good stuff yep.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
And again it's being introduced to market at eighty seventy
five two three three one Candilot Boulevard. This is in
Port Charlotte, four hundred and fifteen thousand. This would be
a fantastic airbnb opportunity. The owners, the current owners do
have past bookings.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Information, so it's already established.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Doing very well. Uh pull and waterfront home and again
amazing price point.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Awesome. Well, you know something that we touched on in
the beginning segment of about the sellers having to get
your house on the market and the competition level is
so this article is talking about a lot of people
that move to this area have a preconceived notion that
when they moved to Southwest Florida, it's beaches and sunsets

(31:34):
and sunrises and outdoor activities, which all of that is,
but when they walk into a home, they have that
HGTV mentality that their home should be showcased to the
to the hill. Not everybody has the skill of a
designer to you know, update your home, and that's where
something that the Patterson Group does very well. Is we

(31:56):
offer staging. So if you happen to have a home
that has you know, needs some maybe some updating, or
let's just say you moved out. Sometimes a vacant home
is really hard to show people because they don't have
the vision. And if you stage your home, put furniture
in the main living spaces, you know, spruce up the
master bathroom. You know, that really helps your buyer envision

(32:19):
themselves living there. And sometimes, you know, I will be
the first to say it, sometimes sellers bring their up
North decor down South and it is always trend well.
And so when you're trying to find a Florida home
and you see all dark wood and up North stuff
in that older nineteen eighties furniture, people sometimes can't get

(32:41):
past that. So bringing in a real estate team like
the Patterson Group that stages, bringing in more modern furniture,
the more coastal vibe, can actually help. And studies have
shown from NAR that more than fifty eight percent of
the real estate professionals say that buyers are disappointed when

(33:01):
you walk in a home and it's not updated or
it's not set or staged properly. And those who have
staged their homes can actually get almost ten percent more
than they expected.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
So I think you know once again, obviously I'm partial
to the Patterson Group, but our staging team is phenomenal.
We have a huge inventory of fabulous furnishings and accessories
and decres. So if maybe you're that person that wants
to be very competitive with what's out there in the market,
talk to us about staging your home and helping you

(33:34):
put your best foot forward when those buyers come to
look at your house. I think it's important, and I.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Think it's very important. Obviously, that's why we invested in
it years ago, and I was not aware that you
were going to bring this up today. I'm really glad
you did, because I have failed to talk about as
much as I really should. You know, there was a
time not to keep talking about the market of a
couple of years ago. Staging wasn't necessarily.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
You didn't have to do anything.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
That's right now. I still believe, as I've always believed
any investment proper or anything that I have sold personally,
I stage it. And why because I practice what I preach? Yeah,
because I know that it sells faster and for more money.
In that time, when homes were, you know, selling that fast,

(34:27):
I couldn't really increase the speed that would sell, but
I do think that it would still bring more money.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Well, I mean obviously, when you're scrolling through Zillow or
the in the MLS or whatever and you look at homes,
and I will say this from the female mind, the
male mind may be different.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
I go to the garage.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Yeah, I'm very I'm very critical when I see a
bedroom that has mixed, mixed, matched, mismatched furniture and I'm.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Like, ooh, well, it's confusing.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
What is that old desk in there? Ooh no that No,
I don't even want to look anymore because I'm already
turned off. Or if the bathroom is sloppy and you've
got you know, your shampoo bottles everywhere, and you've got
your wet towels hanging up and the agent took the
picture with their cell phone. Versus, when you stage your home,
we go in, we prep your home. We make sure
your bathrooms are clean, your showers look tidy, your towels

(35:18):
are folded properly, your beds are made. It just presents better,
and that's the that's the foot you want to put
forward as a seller when you're presenting your home to
the public.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
That's right. Yeah, it's a beauty contest. It said it.
You get one first impression, and I will say as
well as curb appeal. Yeah, pull in.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
That's another thing in the front yard.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
That's another thing that we go over is the landscaping.
The multi I mean one you know home that we
listed last night that was you know, the home is
absolutely spot on gorgeous. Yeah. It was a custom builder
that had built us home and uh, just with weather
and everything that's been going on outside, great landscaping. Some

(36:04):
of it needed trimmed, a couple of things taken out,
and a couple hundred dollars in mulch. Of course, the
you know, the homeowner was happy to get the advice
and it's going to have have that done immediately before
we take photos. And what's going to happen is it's
going to be a great experience from the moment you
walk in the you pull into the driveway. Yeah, you
walk up the front up to the front door, and uh,

(36:26):
and the walk in because the inside is just spot
on gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Well, that's the other thing. You pull up to a
house and there's no or dead landscaping, the yard is brown,
they've not watered their yard, The front door has cobwebs
and it's dirty. Do you really want to go forward?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Right?

Speaker 3 (36:44):
So it really matters, It really matters.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
You know, when I know that we've knocked it out
of the park on the staging, No is when and
this happens a lot. The homeowner will see the photos
if they've already left and yeah, moved, or if they're
and they say we might want to move back.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
In, Oh yeah we have definitely or even better yet,
when a buyer comes to buy a home, they want
to buy the furniture that's in the house.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
That was my next t you're exactly right. That's when
you know that that you've hit the nail on the head.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah, because you sold the vision correctly, that's right. Yeah,
it's a good thing. So yeah, just a little tidbit,
just I think we're going to always emphasize the importance
of spending the time, spending the money. Spend a weekend,
go to home depot, get the mulch, get the plants,
wipe the front doors down, take a little care to
entice people to want to come look in your house.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Well, And I would even go so far as to say,
so yesterday Chris and I were at a home, and
gorgeous home. They they're going to be moving here soon,
and they do have some up north furniture, and I
brought all of mine down, all my oak furniture years ago,

(37:58):
and it's what I was used to, what I grew
up with, loved it, and then after I was here
for a bit sort of you know, over time changing
that out. And so it's very common, especially you have
pieces that mean a lot there.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
So sure it's comfort too.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
They were your grandparents, your parents. So this home we'd
went through and talked about it, and I said, we've
got a stage his home. Yeah, we have got to
stage just home. We're going to do a couple little things,
stage the home, reintroduce it back to the market. I
would I would venture to bet you dinner right now

(38:37):
that I think that this home will sell within thirty days. Yeah,
it has been on the market previously and it's not sold.
I think. I think, well I was sold in thirty days,
and the proof will be in the putting well.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
And I know we mentioned this many months ago about
you know, the little knick knacks and the choch keys
and the photos. You know, people have like walls of
photos of all their family. If you've at your house
on the market, you've already decided you're going to relocate.
It's a good idea to carefully pack all those things
away for your new home. But declutter. That's right, d

(39:13):
chochkey the house take, take the knickknacks off the shelves,
put them away and save them for your family members,
or save them for your new home. But yeah, give
people the bigger canvas to look at.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
All. Right, I've got more to say to that, but
we are definitely past the break, So let's go to break.
We'll finish that conversation talking about how about open houses
and some other new listings. And I tell you I've
got a really unique special home Therewer.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
We talk about the big one.

and very important that you remember this website. It's Matthew

(43:16):
Patterson dot com. Let's get back to the show. We're
heading down the home stretch. Here's Matthew and Shannon.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Okay, so I know we're on short time, but we're
gonna get back to this stage because I have you
were spot on in what you were saying I just
want to add to it. When you were talking about
packing up the some of that stuff, the best, you know,
the best way to look at it is if you're
really good. I mean, you've already made the commitment. You
know that you're going to sell. Do you know you're

(43:45):
gonna move, So you're just getting to jump start on that,
exactly right. And I tell folks it you do not
have to run a story even if you know. If
anything's going to be cluttered, I'd rather it be the yes, Okay,
obviously we don't want to pack full, but you know

(44:06):
some boxes out there is not going to hurt pere.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Well, don't come to your house with the assumption that
you're still living their moment to moment, that you're not
prepping to move. Boxes are not going to deter somebody
from wanting to buy your home.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
So less is more. But you know in this case,
and we help with all of this, so do not
get overwhelmed. We'll go through this with you and help
you to whatever level you would like. Also, what I
wanted to say is at that point, you've got to
really try. And I know there's a lot of pride
in home ownership and all of the time you have

(44:43):
lived there, the things you've done to the home. I'm
not trying to take away from that, but there does
come a point where you wanted to appeal to the masses.
And to do that, it's going to be neutral. It's
going to be you know less ye or if you will,
meaning on countertop, so on and so forth, and so

(45:05):
to pack that up, get that away, but also to
emotionally decide, okay, we're going to look at this as
we are ready to sell this is this is just
a home now exactly, and let's sell this and get it.
You know, somebody else is gonna have great memories and
and and a chapter of their life there and you're
moving on to the next one. It's going to really

(45:27):
help in doing this.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
It's it's the it's the beginning of detaching. It is
very important.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Okay, That's what I was trying to say, and you
said it one word. All right. Now, we've got to
get to these listens because I'm running short on time.
And know you do not get to go with the
open houses yet, because I got to talk about this
house in Poughkeepsie. I from the moment, well really, when
I searched it, online. But when I came around the
corner and saw this home, it is incredible. One zero

(45:54):
five zero Poughkeepsie Circle. This is out in South Golf Cove.
Just hit the market at two million, and I got
to tell you a lot of views, a lot of
people looking at a lot of saves, and a lot
of phone calls on this. It's a lot of house,
a lot of house. When you're talking about look sure
is coastal living, this is a lifestyle you're perser.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
I'm actually shocked that it's only two million because the
decor and the design is spectacular.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
You're sitting on a double lot, wait for it, two
car attached garages. Plus there is an additional third buildable
lot available, so you would have the whole end of
the h It's like a tip lot. H Okay. The
reason why it is only two million is because of
the market we are in. Otherwise this would be much

(46:42):
closer to three million. Let me be clear about that.
So you have a four bedroom, four and a half back,
two story pool home. The views are incredible. Double lot,
like I said, two hundred and fifty five five feet,
a sailboat access water front. You've got the two car

(47:06):
attached and uh, it's detached, but it is as far
as it's all one with the home. But you do
go outside to go into it. Yeah, and when you
come out. That's actually one of my favorite spots in
the yard is how they built this other garage it
and it just kind of horseshoes or what.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
Basically it's like his and hers. Nice.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Yeah, well you can have both clauses, but I get
both garages.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
That's all I don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
The dock, of course, has water electricity, a sixteen thousand
pounds boat left with a cover, direct golf access from
south golf cove. The interior space, I'm talking soaring trace ceilings,
gourmet kitchen, stainless steel appliants as granite counters, wet bar,

(47:54):
multiple multiple bonus spaces, you know, like family room, den
off the Florida Room. The private Master Retreats is upstairs
primary suite with dual walk ends, private balcony, spa bath,
and access to a lit filled Florida room. I mean

(48:17):
spiral staircase that goes down to the poor.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
So beautifully decorated, and not just the decor, but the
actual finishes of this home and the.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Way that yes, beautiful. Absolutely, the kitchen as well, the entertaining,
the way that the bar set up, the under counter,
the one I'm talking This is an entertaining home with
the staircase that goes up. I want to mention as well. Yes,

(48:46):
the the main master suite is upstairs, but there's also
another one downstairs, so if that is a concern. Also,
I've already spotted a place for an elevator there you
go as well. If that's a concern, we can talk
of out that outdoors. The screen Lanai area absolutely amazing.

(49:07):
You've got the outdoor kitchen, heated saltwater pool, spa, twenty
twenty five pool heater, outdoor shower again, beautiful canal views.
This is an entertaining and relaxation home. Next we are
