 Today's
real estate market is very
challenging. Mark Zilbert and
his team of real estate
professionals have proven to be one
of today's most effective realtors
for selling condos and homes in
Miami, South Beach and north Miami
Beaches.
HOW TO SELL
YOUR CONDO IN TODAY'S REAL ESTATE
MARKET
Like it or not, real estate market
prices are down. Buyers are
hunting for deals on condos and
homes around Miami and South Beach,
and they tend to ignore properties
that are listed at unrealistic
prices. However, it's not all
doom-and-gloom. Properties
are, indeed, continuing to sell,
and, in many cases, at high prices.
The condo building you live in and
the type and condition of your unit
will play a big part in
understanding if you need to price
your property at a discount or at a
higher-that-average price. Our
first task with a sellers is to help
them figure out a realistic selling
price for their condo, based on
today's real estate market.
Our
Approach: Team
Zilbert presents a comprehensive
market analysis to each of our
sellers. We look at a number
of factors that could support a
quick sale and an optimal selling
price. We will help you find a
target price that could result in a
sale in 30-60 days, or if you have
more time, a price that could result
in a sale in 3-6 months. This
gives a seller two different selling
strategies, each one meeting a
different objective of the seller.
TODAY'S
BUYERS ARE BARGAIN HUNTERS
Buyers today are hunting for
bargains. It doesn't matter
whether or not they are buying a
small studio apartment or a massive
luxury condo on the beach, buyers
want a deal. Many are
convinced that real estate market
prices SHOULD be discounted by as
much as 50%, and that is how they
approach many listed condos and
homes in Miami. The market
price is determined by how much
other (recent) buyers have been
willing to pay for similar
properties. We've have
certainly seen some prices go down,
but we have also seen others go up.
When we meet a buyer who is
considering purchasing one of our
sellers' properties, we work with
them to help them understand the
proper real estate market in Miami
and Miami Beach's varies
communities. This normally
means guiding them out of the
"bargain mindset", and helping them
understand the proper value of the
properties that we are selling.
     
We are committed to helping our
sellers reach buyers who understand
today's real estate market.
Strong currencies in Europe and
Canada have helped to maintain a
healthy flow of real estate
transactions, and we can attribute
higher market values to many of
these buyers. We also try to
help buyers make appropriate offers
on properties that we are selling on
behalf of our customers, and we do
this by educating them on the
market. But, our first job is
to get your condo or home to the
market.

TEAM
ZILBERT - YOUR BEST-CHOICE OF
LISTING AGENT - HERE'S WHY
Our REALTORS®
specialize almost-exclusively in
Miami and Miami Beach luxury condos
and homes. There are many reasons
why we are successful:
-
We have a strong
Internet presence in the Miami
area. Buyers are most-likely to
use the Internet when looking
for properties, and our website
is one of Miami’s most popular.
So, we get a lot of buyer
traffic.
-
We have access
to hundreds of thousands of
buyers and brokers via our
e-mail lists, personal networks
and other tools. We are also
regularly interviewed and have
been featured on national news
television (ABC, CBS, NBC) and
in national newspapers (Wall St
Journal, USA Today) as Miami
real estate experts. This
generates a lot of business for
us (buyers making inquiries).
-
We make
ourselves available any time,
any day, including weekends and
holidays. This way, we never
miss a buyer inquiry. We are
also generally able to respond
to last-minute requests to show
our listed properties. There is
no “snooze and lose” in our
firm!
-
We respond to
buyers fast. We try to always
return phone calls and e-mails
in 30 minutes or less, and we do
this 24 hours a day.
-
We spend a lot
of time reaching out to other
brokers, looking for their buyer
contacts. This way, we maximize
our reach. We realize that
working with other brokers is
very important, and we have
relationships with most
top-producing brokers in Miami.
-
We have a
stunning track record for
selling properties. Almost every
condo we have taken to market
has sold, and that is something
that we are very proud of. Many
of our sales have occurred
within 6 months of listing the
property, and some have sold in
a matter of weeks.
-
Unlike most
individual realtors, we work
within a team structure. This
means that you will have a
primary REALTOR® as your point
of contact. Each realtor has a
number of back-up realtors, and
this ensures that we can always
find time to show our listed
properties to buyers and/or
their brokers. So, whenever
someone calls to see your
property, we will have someone
to show the property. Not many
other realtors can make this
claim.
-
We invest
heavily in advertising. We are
seen in Ocean Drive, Miami
Herald and other publications on
a regular basis.
-
We are smart
business people. We follow our
deals through their completion,
ensuring the highest level of
professionalism and eliminating
any obstacles that could cause a
deal to fall apart.
-
We see ourselves
as your business partner, and we
treat your property as if it was
our own. We stay committed and
loyal to you.
