Picking the right partner is critical to you!
When you want to buy a new vacation home in Orlando ... or if you've decided it's time to sell your investment and move on - finding and choosing someone to represent your interests is critical to your success.
If you are buying - choosing the wrong partner to give you guidance can literally cost you thousands more. VillaDirect is able to guide you to purchase on the right locations - and also to help you understand the performance that you can expect from each type of property on each location.
If you're selling - don't believe everything you hear. So many will tell you they'll sell for a price you want to hear - but then drop (and drop again) to lower prices for months after - losing you money and potential buyers. VillaDirect shows you "comparatives" for similar properties in
your location so that you can best judge the price you can sell for.
When choosing, make sure that your chosen partner has the following attributes:

Experience
This may sound obvious - but the
right experience counts for so much. At the height of the market, there were over 20,000 real estate agents in central Florida. Thankfully, the downturn has "weeded" many of the worst out - but there are still plenty out there who will sell you a property that they know nothing about!
Being a real estate agent is more than just selling a home to you or for you. Your chosen agent should be your partner - and provide you with the background information that you need to make a wise decision if you're buying or help you when you're selling.
If you're buying, make sure that they can provide you with:
- Background on who managed the home last.
- The occupancy of the home you are thinking of buying for the previous season(s).
- The utility costs of that type or that specific property on that location.
- The rental rate per night you can market the property for in each season.
- What the average nightly rate is for that type of property in the community you are considering.
If you're selling a home, ask your realty agency:
- How many homes of your type and location have they sold?
- What was the average price?
- What are the comparatives for your home over the last 6 months?
- Can they work with you to rent and sell at the same time?
Integrity
Ask for contact details of past customers and take references. If your real estate agent can't put you in touch with owners who have already used their services successfully - walk away! Plenty of real estate agencies sell homes really well - but very few are still servicing your home 6 months or 6 years later like VillaDirect. We have a "vested interest" in selling you a home that will be a success.
Longevity
How long has your real estate agency been around? Remember we told you that so many closed their doors in 2006/7 and 8 and were gone when owners came back to ask questions. VillaDirect has been around for over a decade. We will be there for you when you need advice and guidance and look forward to providing you with services for years to come.
