The real estate agent and Technology

In my last discussion, I spoke about a few issues relating to theReal Estate Agents perspective on Investments.

In my article, "Becoming the Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World" I expand on the importance of technology for the real estate agent in business today:

"Technology insight – Being able to not only understand the technology that exists today to assist a real estate agent in their business but also having the ability to apply that technology is a paramount consideration today."

Panama City Real Estate Market Update

I'm please to bring you an additional Panama City Real Estate Market update.
Periodically, the FAR (Florida Associations of REALTORS® ) reports on the status of the Real Estate market statewide.

This latest update is as predicted, good news for Panama City, Florida...

With all the announcements lately for the Panama City, Florida area such as:

• New store announcements for the Pier Park shopping complex
• The go ahead word for the construction on the Panama City International Airport

is it any wonder, according to the Florida Association of REALTORS® that the Panama City real estate condo market showed a decrease of only 10 percent (81 existing condo units closed in Q4 2007 compared to 90 closings in Q4 2006) for the fourth best showing in the state!

In addition:

In sales of existing single-family homes, Q4 2007 shows a statewide decline of 31 percent (26,130 units closed in Q4 2007 compared to 37,879 in Q4 2006) while Panama City shows a net decrease of only 15 percent ( 269 units closed in Q4 2007 versus 315 units closed in 2006). This places Panama City in third best position statewide, only to Fort Walton Beach and Sarasota.

Existing single-family home and condominium prices in Panama City continue to see a market correction, with existing homes seeing a 4% reduction in Q4 2007 versus Q4 2006 and existing condos seeing a 17% reduction for the same period. Statewide sales figures continue to show that those areas embracing efforts to educate sellers about realistic expectations, while pointing toward a ‘buyers market’, remain least-affected by the current real estate market conditions.

We're moving ahead now!

The Real Estate agent and Investments

So far we've discussed marketing and advertising both of which are very important aspects for every real estate agent.

Another job of a real estate agent may be to assist their customers with their long and short term investment strategy. For me, it is also one of the most rewarding aspects of being a real estate agent.

So...

Investment foresight - I believe another strong trait is the ability to discern, understand and educate a customer on which properties make the strongest case for their investment strategy.

The Real Estate Agent and Marketing and product knowledge

If you remember in my previous post: Advertising I talked about some of what I believe is required to being an adept real estate agent.

Of course advertising is a major factor of consideration.

Now, let's talk about...

Market and Product Knowledge - I believe part of becoming the "Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World" the agent must maintain a strong and thorough knowledge of their local real estate market.

Panama City International Airport on the move!

Another great day and big win for the Panama City area !

On Thursday, February 14th 2008 a U.S. District Court judge again denied the airport opponents’ attempts to halt construction at the new Panama City – Bay County International Airport!

Airport Authority Chairman Joe Tannehill said construction was proceeding unrestricted, in accordance with our permits, and on schedule. Read more here.

The new Panama City International airport is being built on a 4,000-acre site in northwestern Bay County on land that was donated by The St. Joe Company.

With construction again underway, the expected opening of the new airport in 2010 is back on schedule and the future is once again bright for our communities economy and prosperity!

Panama City Real Estate - Business and website updates

I am very pleased to announce that once again my business is expanding.

As more and more investors find Panama City Real Estate to be an ideal real estate investment area, I am often asked if I also handle property management for my clients.

Some Background:
When I first entered the Panama City Real Estate market as an agent, one of my business focus’ was on property management. As my real estate sales business grew, I made the decision to place property management on hold until I was able to bring in a team to professionally manage that business department.

I am pleased to announce that I have expanded my team to include professional property managers that will be able to assist my clients with their Property Management needs. Within the next 60 days, Panama City Real Estate and Property Management will begin accepting clients.

The department will be managed by Jodi James and Randy Danforth. You can read about them here.

In addition, I am also pleased to announce that I have also expanded my Panama City Commercial Real Estate department. A new website has beeb launched and they are open for business. This department is managed by my long time business partner Jessie Cochran.
While the Commercial real estate website is very new, it promises to be as informative as my Panama City Real Estate website. Watch it grow!

Thank you to all my past and future customers for allowing me to service your Panama City Real Estate needs.

Your dedication to my ability to provide you the finest Panama City Real Estate services is what makes my business growth possible!
