May was a busy month for us! We closed 11 transactions and wrapped up our three-part Investor Series. Real estate investors will become more active in their local markets in the next 24 months according to a new national survey of real estate investors released by Move, Inc., the leader in online real estate.

“Today’s market is  motivating millions to take an unconventional approach and creatively search for new ways of entering the housing market. This data also suggests the dream of homeownership is alive for millions that are keeping their eye on the future and using their initial home as the first in a series of what may become many investments in real estate,” said Move, Inc. CEO Steve Berkowitz.

Where are investors seeing absorption in today’s market? The rental market is void of detached single family homes that rent between $1,200-$1,500/month and $2,000-$2,500/month. Below are two great  homes that will rent for $1,300/month each:

2510 Fairham Drive, off Old Hammond Hwy.

Welcoming porch, corner lot, and warm paint colors!

5223 Seneca Drive, in Ascension Trace

Completely renovated with a large back yard!

I wish to say how pleased I am with the way your firm handled the sale of our home. From our initial meeting to simply discuss issues and market conditions, to your bringing potential buyers through before we had a contract, to working with us (and the buyers) to reach a mutual agreement was simply a pleasure.

I believe the secret was in laying out realistic expectations in advance, having mutual trust, your level of market knowledge, and an ability to “read” buyers needs and expectations as well as meet the sellers. The result was a win-win for all concerned.

I am pleased that what will probably be our last association with selling a home was such a pleasant one. Sellers often do not want to hear the facts and I was resistant to some as you know. But an open exchange resulted in what is a first for me .. a contract before the “For Sale” sign made it to the front lawn.

I feel it necessary to compliment you on your staff as well. They made “getting it done” as pleasant as the process of obtaining the contract.

Thank you for your professionalism.

We’ll stay in touch.

Take Care,

Steve and Vicky

I am very, extremely happy with your service. Being an owner out of state, you had given me a peace of mind. Your team are truly trustworthy. I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know. I wish you were in our area though.

God Bless your business

Just wanted to send a note of thanks for all your hard work managing all the details regarding our recent purchase of teh 7-plex on S.Leo. You all certainly earned your commissions and made a complex sale a pleasant experience. Also, I especially appreciate your dedication to “service after the sale” with your expert assistance regarding the remaining unresolved details that could have just as easily ended up on my lap. This really demonstrates to me your professionalism and dedication to customer service. Thanks for everything.

With best regards from a Keyfinders Fan,
