(00:33):
waters during this time so you can have the best

Speaker 2 (00:49):

Speaker 1 (00:50):
House as well, so if you are in the Martin
County area, this is a beautiful home for over two
million dollars in Seawall's Point. So if you want to
come by a great house in Seawall's Point, me me.
You can not only see that house, but we could

suggestions answers to anything you have question wise in the
(01:13):
real estate market, come meet me today. But first my
cell phone number is five six one eight six six
six zero three six. Again that's five six one eight
six six six zero three six.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, good morning Evan, Good morning everybody. So happy you're here.
My name is Jeff Sofer and I am Evan's co
host every week. All set here to go for another
great show. So I own the Nature's Experts family of companies.
We have five companies. We have two landscape companies, a
tree company, a pest control company, and another company that
(01:48):
does interior, floral and botanical styling. To find out what
all of that is about, you got to go to www.
Dot natures Experts dot com or call me or text
me at five six one seven zero two four five
two one. Again that's five six one seven zero two
(02:11):
four five two one.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
And today, one of the topics that I really would
like to focus on for you guys, something that's very
relevant right now is how long properties are staying on
the market good and what could be done about it
from both ends.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Good subject to bring up, especially, you know, especially now,
if how things are lingering on the market a little
bit longer. It's on everybody's mind exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And you know what I want you guys to know
is that you know, if you're scrolling or browsing online,
I'm sure most of you have seen the Zillows and
realtor dot coms of the world. I mean, you don't
have to take it from me. You've seen it yourself.
You'll see price cut, price cut, price cut, one hundred
plus days on the market, eighty five days on the market,
two hundred days on the market, price cut reduced. You
(03:00):
get the point. This is something that is normal and
common and standard right now. So here's what can be
done about it. First, I'll start on the buyer's end.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Home buyers.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Homeowners, you may not like this, but the fact of
the matter is home buyers will try to take advantage
of the fact that the property has been on the
market and there have been multiple price cuts or slashes
in the price or decreases in the price. Obviously, but
home buyers, you have no choice but to take advantage
of it. So although rates are higher today than they
(03:39):
were a few years ago, that is also the reason
that you are able to get such a great deal
on said home. So many of my clients throughout really
the past eighteen months have gotten homes for considerably under
what the home started at or what the home was asking.
(03:59):
So I want you to know if you are thinking
about purchasing now's a good time because you are able
to get into a home at a solid price, and
through the lenders that I work with I'll talk about
them in a minute, you are also able to refinance
the second rates decrease, so you can get into the
(04:19):
home at a better price. Lock it in, negotiate, get
the home that you want for the price that you want.
Use credits for your closing costs, use those incentives that
sellers are offering, and know a little bit down the line,
you can refinance and get into the lower rate, making
it an even better investment for your future buyers. That's
(04:41):
how you can take advantage of all the price cuts
and slashes and decreases homeowners. How you guys can take
advantage of it, which might sound somewhat counterintuitive, but how
you can take advantage of the slower market is making
your home stand out as a as much as possible
and be as well priced as it possibly can be.
(05:05):
So how you can help your home stand out from
the from all of the other homes in your neighborhood
or in your building, or in your community on the
market is making sure that it appears well visually and online.
So many people, I'm sure maybe even yourself. You guys
look for homes online and it's so important to have
(05:27):
a great digital presence online, so whether that is through
social media marketing, media marketing, through an avenue like this
on the radio show, the photos, the videos, but overall
the price as well. To give you an example, I
have a listening in Delray Beach. I said to the seller,
(05:48):
this is what it should be priced for, and we
got an offer within the first five days, which is amazing.
So again, we got an offer within the first five days.
That's so rare right now, but it is because the
homeowner completely listened and said, you tell me the price
that it should be.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I did.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Five days later we had an offer. That's extremely rare
right now. So that's a little bit about how you
each can take advantage of the slower market homeowners, how
you can make your home stand out, and buyers, how
you can get a great deal. So reach out to
me so we could talk about these things in depth
and we can customize a strategy for your and your
(06:30):
family's needs. Call me or text me at five six'
one eight six six six zero three. Six that's five
six one eight six six six zero three.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Six so that's all super. Interesting really enjoyed listening to
that because it's. Educational it's not just. Information Uh SO
i read a lot online about real, estate read a
lot about. Statistics what's going? On and this is something
THAT i really want you to listen to everybody out,
(07:03):
there BECAUSE i think that there's a lot of people
today and always that, say, hey what does a real
estate agent actually? Do DO i really need? One you,
know because you just go online or what have? You
do you really need? One SO i just want to
read you guys something real. Quick it, says, first let's
review what a real estate agent brings to the. Table after,
all in today's information, age a new home might feel
(07:25):
like it's just a click away and easily accessible without
the help of an. Agent just LIKE i was, saying
everyone really feels, like, HEY i can just look at.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Anything what DO i need to have an agent?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
For? Right so it continues to, say or you might
consider posting your house online and selling your house by
yourself or by. Owner, however real estate agents are essential,
advocates AND i think people need to realize if you
really are a great, agent you are an, advocate you
know WHAT i, Mean and you're a resource that goes
on to say they will be experts in your existing
(07:54):
or target, neighborhood help you find the perfect, home suggests
light lift upgrades to maximize, value and provide information you
can't find anywhere else thanks to resources like The Multiple
Listing services database that they.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Have behind the.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Scenes so these are things already that a real estate
agent really does. Do and it's funny because it tricks.
You you know, online you go, on you see.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
It it's just so.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Easy just click on, this click on, this click on,
This this house could be.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yours it doesn't really work like. That you need an.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
ADVOCATE i wanted you to comment on this so far
over and Then i'll continue with.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
This, yes you definitely need an, advocate especially right. Now
it's so so. Important so, again anyone listening right, now
if you are looking to purchase a, home if you
are looking to sell a, Home i'm excited to have
the chance to be in your corner and to show
you HOW i can be an advocate for.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You, yep real.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Quick let's take a minute and sidebar to one of our.
Sponsors one of our sponsors Is Harbor, chase A point In.
Beach Harbor chase a Point In beach is an adult
living community and it is is pretty brand. New it
has all different kinds of food, amenities it has wonderful.
Staff it's a, beautiful beautiful. Facility and the phone number
(09:10):
there if you want to be, in need to be,
in or know someone that should be going into an
adult living, community the number there is five six one
seven seven zero one three five, zero and That's herberchase
Of Pointan. Beach let me give you the number one more.
Time five six one seven seven zero one three five.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Zero.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Evan so let's continue again with, This, okay talking about
why do you need a real estate?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Agent all?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Right so in addition it says you, know the real
estate agent's also walk you through the transaction, process supporting
you as your complete your offer and making sure your
contract includes all the right clauses that protects. YOU i
don't think people realize how they can be tricked and
how there's hidden things that will come up that only a,
(10:00):
really really shrewd real estate professional will make sure that
you are again advocating for just.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Them those are my. Thoughts what do you think about
that one?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Percent you know you have to be advocating just for.
THEM i, mean so many of my clients have said to, Me,
evan you MADE i Know i'm, not but you made
me feel Like i'm your number one and only, client
which is. AWESOME i want everybody to have a full.
ACCESS i want to be fully accessible and, accommodating no
(10:33):
matter how big or how small you feel that your
price point is because everyone is the equal.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Importance, Right, no you definitely. Do that's become a theme
with you with. People so you may be faced, with
meaning you the customer or the. Client you may be
faced with doing all the paperwork and all the legwork
which you're set with you know, yourself which could cost
you money and otherwise create unnecessary.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Obstacles SO i.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Think that really reading, this even the still short synopsis of,
IT i think that you can't overlook. This, friends you
really have to understand that you have to have a
real estate. Agent so even if you Contact evan and
you're not say they're not set on, You evans, say they, say,
well you, KNOW i want to interview a few different.
People i've got a friend WHO i, Know i've got
(11:24):
someone Who i've been seeing for years who maybe could help,
me or someone that specializes in this, area BUT i
also want to interview. You SO i think that, you,
guys the person who would be an advocate for you
and so much. More you need to just Give evan
the opportunity to be interviewed by, you.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Right, Exactly and, YES i would love to be interviewed
for the, job to earn the opportunity to work with.
You and my phone number as a real estate. Agent
my name Is Evan. Sofer this Is evan's EXCELLENT bis
On iHeartRadio is five' six' one eight six six six zero.
Three six and to carry on to some of those points,
(12:02):
YOU stated i recently got a Message on facebook and
it was from SOMEONE who i haven't talked to in a,
little bit and, they, Said, HEY evan i have a
friend who has their home listed currently and the friend
is extremely dissatisfied with their current realtor. AND situation i
(12:28):
believe their contract is. EXPIRING soon i showed Her your.
Facebook page she was impressed and she wants to speak with.
You ASAP so, i said thank you for thinking, of
me just tell ME how i. CAN help i ended
up meeting with this client and just to give you
guys a, FEW examples.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I did some research on. The price.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
YOU know i ended up, Telling, HER hey i really
feel that where you guys are currently positioned is not
relevant to the market and needs to. Be POSITIONED and
i showed her. THE data, i, said here you look
At what i'm, looking at and you'll SEE how i arrived.
At this i'm not just coming to it off the
top of, my. Head OBVIOUSLY and, i said did your
(13:14):
current realter give you any sort of data or show
you how they arrived at?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
A price she. Said.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
No never they actually, told, me oh it will go
for this because of. Whatever reason they, said again they
never even provided this seller with. ACTUAL data, i mean
what a disservice. That is aside, from that they told
me that the that THE and i should, Say current
but in all honesty, the past their past realter would say, to,
(13:44):
them hey we have a showing in. Thirty minutes hopefully
the house, is clean will be. There soon and they
have two little kids three and four, years.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Old and they just showed up at.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
The house, so.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Look, of COURSE do, i get, you know taking advantage
of showings while you, Have them oh, of course but,
you know just show up at someone's house obviously.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Without approval so it was so many things.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Like that but my whole reason of saying this is
not to talk about any sort of any realter in a.
NEGATIVE light i guess it's just to tell you that.
THESE stories i hear a lot of these types of
things on a very. REGULAR basis i do not hear
this once in. A while i hear this literally all
the time of examples just, like this and it blows.
(14:27):
My mind, so equally the clients are always stunned when
they speak to me because so many of the THINGS
that i just naturally do they've never had done.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Before by a real.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Estate PROFESSIONAL and i don't mean to say it As
if i'm some sort of a magician or anything, like
THAT but i say it to SAY that i go
through every single foundational piece of my career and share
it with you to help you and your life and
your family THE best i, possibly can and just to
be as detailed. As possible text or call me any

chat about anything you'd like. If you would like any
suggestions answers to anything you have question wise in the
(01:13):
real estate market, come meet me today. But first my
cell phone number is five six one eight six six
six zero three six. Again that's five six one eight
six six six zero three six.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, good morning Evan, Good morning everybody. So happy you're here.
My name is Jeff Sofer and I am Evan's co
host every week. All set here to go for another
great show. So I own the Nature's Experts family of companies.
We have five companies. We have two landscape companies, a
tree company, a pest control company, and another company that
(01:48):
does interior, floral and botanical styling. To find out what
all of that is about, you got to go to www.
Dot natures Experts dot com or call me or text
me at five six one seven zero two four five
two one. Again that's five six one seven zero two
(02:11):
four five two one.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
And today, one of the topics that I really would
like to focus on for you guys, something that's very
relevant right now is how long properties are staying on
the market good and what could be done about it
from both ends.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Good subject to bring up, especially, you know, especially now,
if how things are lingering on the market a little
bit longer. It's on everybody's mind exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And you know what I want you guys to know
is that you know, if you're scrolling or browsing online,
I'm sure most of you have seen the Zillows and
realtor dot coms of the world. I mean, you don't
have to take it from me. You've seen it yourself.
You'll see price cut, price cut, price cut, one hundred
plus days on the market, eighty five days on the market,
two hundred days on the market, price cut reduced. You
(03:00):
get the point. This is something that is normal and
common and standard right now. So here's what can be
done about it. First, I'll start on the buyer's end.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Home buyers.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Homeowners, you may not like this, but the fact of
the matter is home buyers will try to take advantage
of the fact that the property has been on the
market and there have been multiple price cuts or slashes
in the price or decreases in the price. Obviously, but
home buyers, you have no choice but to take advantage
of it. So although rates are higher today than they
(03:39):
were a few years ago, that is also the reason
that you are able to get such a great deal
on said home. So many of my clients throughout really
the past eighteen months have gotten homes for considerably under
what the home started at or what the home was asking.
(03:59):
So I want you to know if you are thinking
about purchasing now's a good time because you are able
to get into a home at a solid price, and
through the lenders that I work with I'll talk about
them in a minute, you are also able to refinance
the second rates decrease, so you can get into the
(04:19):
home at a better price. Lock it in, negotiate, get
the home that you want for the price that you want.
Use credits for your closing costs, use those incentives that
sellers are offering, and know a little bit down the line,
you can refinance and get into the lower rate, making
it an even better investment for your future buyers. That's
(04:41):
how you can take advantage of all the price cuts
and slashes and decreases homeowners. How you guys can take
advantage of it, which might sound somewhat counterintuitive, but how
you can take advantage of the slower market is making
your home stand out as a as much as possible
and be as well priced as it possibly can be.
(05:05):
So how you can help your home stand out from
the from all of the other homes in your neighborhood
or in your building, or in your community on the
market is making sure that it appears well visually and online.
So many people, I'm sure maybe even yourself. You guys
look for homes online and it's so important to have
(05:27):
a great digital presence online, so whether that is through
social media marketing, media marketing, through an avenue like this
on the radio show, the photos, the videos, but overall
the price as well. To give you an example, I
have a listening in Delray Beach. I said to the seller,
(05:48):
this is what it should be priced for, and we
got an offer within the first five days, which is amazing.
So again, we got an offer within the first five days.
That's so rare right now, but it is because the
homeowner completely listened and said, you tell me the price
that it should be.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I did.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Five days later we had an offer. That's extremely rare
right now. So that's a little bit about how you
each can take advantage of the slower market homeowners, how
you can make your home stand out, and buyers, how
you can get a great deal. So reach out to
me so we could talk about these things in depth
and we can customize a strategy for your and your
(06:30):
family's needs. Call me or text me at five six'
one eight six six six zero three. Six that's five
six one eight six six six zero three.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Six so that's all super. Interesting really enjoyed listening to
that because it's. Educational it's not just. Information Uh SO
i read a lot online about real, estate read a
lot about. Statistics what's going? On and this is something
THAT i really want you to listen to everybody out,
(07:03):
there BECAUSE i think that there's a lot of people
today and always that, say, hey what does a real
estate agent actually? Do DO i really need? One you,
know because you just go online or what have? You
do you really need? One SO i just want to
read you guys something real. Quick it, says, first let's
review what a real estate agent brings to the. Table after,
all in today's information, age a new home might feel
(07:25):
like it's just a click away and easily accessible without
the help of an. Agent just LIKE i was, saying
everyone really feels, like, HEY i can just look at.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Anything what DO i need to have an agent?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
For? Right so it continues to, say or you might
consider posting your house online and selling your house by
yourself or by. Owner, however real estate agents are essential,
advocates AND i think people need to realize if you
really are a great, agent you are an, advocate you
know WHAT i, Mean and you're a resource that goes
on to say they will be experts in your existing
(07:54):
or target, neighborhood help you find the perfect, home suggests
light lift upgrades to maximize, value and provide information you
can't find anywhere else thanks to resources like The Multiple
Listing services database that they.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Have behind the.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Scenes so these are things already that a real estate
agent really does. Do and it's funny because it tricks.
You you know, online you go, on you see.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
It it's just so.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Easy just click on, this click on, this click on,
This this house could be.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yours it doesn't really work like. That you need an.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
ADVOCATE i wanted you to comment on this so far
over and Then i'll continue with.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
This, yes you definitely need an, advocate especially right. Now
it's so so. Important so, again anyone listening right, now
if you are looking to purchase a, home if you
are looking to sell a, Home i'm excited to have
the chance to be in your corner and to show
you HOW i can be an advocate for.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You, yep real.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Quick let's take a minute and sidebar to one of our.
Sponsors one of our sponsors Is Harbor, chase A point In.
Beach Harbor chase a Point In beach is an adult
living community and it is is pretty brand. New it
has all different kinds of food, amenities it has wonderful.
Staff it's a, beautiful beautiful. Facility and the phone number
(09:10):
there if you want to be, in need to be,
in or know someone that should be going into an
adult living, community the number there is five six one
seven seven zero one three five, zero and That's herberchase
Of Pointan. Beach let me give you the number one more.
Time five six one seven seven zero one three five.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Zero.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Evan so let's continue again with, This, okay talking about
why do you need a real estate?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Agent all?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Right so in addition it says you, know the real
estate agent's also walk you through the transaction, process supporting
you as your complete your offer and making sure your
contract includes all the right clauses that protects. YOU i
don't think people realize how they can be tricked and
how there's hidden things that will come up that only a,
(10:00):
really really shrewd real estate professional will make sure that
you are again advocating for just.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Them those are my. Thoughts what do you think about
that one?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Percent you know you have to be advocating just for.
THEM i, mean so many of my clients have said to, Me,
evan you MADE i Know i'm, not but you made
me feel Like i'm your number one and only, client
which is. AWESOME i want everybody to have a full.
ACCESS i want to be fully accessible and, accommodating no
(10:33):
matter how big or how small you feel that your
price point is because everyone is the equal.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Importance, Right, no you definitely. Do that's become a theme
with you with. People so you may be faced, with
meaning you the customer or the. Client you may be
faced with doing all the paperwork and all the legwork
which you're set with you know, yourself which could cost
you money and otherwise create unnecessary.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Obstacles SO i.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Think that really reading, this even the still short synopsis of,
IT i think that you can't overlook. This, friends you
really have to understand that you have to have a
real estate. Agent so even if you Contact evan and
you're not say they're not set on, You evans, say they, say,
well you, KNOW i want to interview a few different.
People i've got a friend WHO i, Know i've got
(11:24):
someone Who i've been seeing for years who maybe could help,
me or someone that specializes in this, area BUT i
also want to interview. You SO i think that, you,
guys the person who would be an advocate for you
and so much. More you need to just Give evan
the opportunity to be interviewed by, you.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Right, Exactly and, YES i would love to be interviewed
for the, job to earn the opportunity to work with.
You and my phone number as a real estate. Agent
my name Is Evan. Sofer this Is evan's EXCELLENT bis
On iHeartRadio is five' six' one eight six six six zero.
Three six and to carry on to some of those points,
(12:02):
YOU stated i recently got a Message on facebook and
it was from SOMEONE who i haven't talked to in a,
little bit and, they, Said, HEY evan i have a
friend who has their home listed currently and the friend
is extremely dissatisfied with their current realtor. AND situation i
(12:28):
believe their contract is. EXPIRING soon i showed Her your.
Facebook page she was impressed and she wants to speak with.
You ASAP so, i said thank you for thinking, of
me just tell ME how i. CAN help i ended
up meeting with this client and just to give you
guys a, FEW examples.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I did some research on. The price.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
YOU know i ended up, Telling, HER hey i really
feel that where you guys are currently positioned is not
relevant to the market and needs to. Be POSITIONED and
i showed her. THE data, i, said here you look
At what i'm, looking at and you'll SEE how i arrived.
At this i'm not just coming to it off the
top of, my. Head OBVIOUSLY and, i said did your
(13:14):
current realter give you any sort of data or show
you how they arrived at?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
A price she. Said.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
No never they actually, told, me oh it will go
for this because of. Whatever reason they, said again they
never even provided this seller with. ACTUAL data, i mean
what a disservice. That is aside, from that they told
me that the that THE and i should, Say current
but in all honesty, the past their past realter would say, to,
(13:44):
them hey we have a showing in. Thirty minutes hopefully
the house, is clean will be. There soon and they
have two little kids three and four, years.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Old and they just showed up at.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
The house, so.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Look, of COURSE do, i get, you know taking advantage
of showings while you, Have them oh, of course but,
you know just show up at someone's house obviously.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Without approval so it was so many things.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Like that but my whole reason of saying this is
not to talk about any sort of any realter in a.
NEGATIVE light i guess it's just to tell you that.
THESE stories i hear a lot of these types of
things on a very. REGULAR basis i do not hear
this once in. A while i hear this literally all
the time of examples just, like this and it blows.
(14:27):
My mind, so equally the clients are always stunned when
they speak to me because so many of the THINGS
that i just naturally do they've never had done.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Before by a real.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Estate PROFESSIONAL and i don't mean to say it As
if i'm some sort of a magician or anything, like
THAT but i say it to SAY that i go
