Competition

Don't know if you've noticed or not, but there are A LOT of Realtors out there, all looking to work with YOU! Have you ever wondered what sets Realtors apart, what makes them someone you want to work with? Some offer reduced rates, your name in a draw to win a car or trip, or things they simply can't deliver on. We at the Stuart Sinclair Team firmly believe that it's our attitude that set us apart, and the relationships we build with each and every person that puts their trust in us, whether buying or selling real estate. We want to know your hopes and dreams for the future, and we want to help make what you wish for a reality! We care about you and we'd love the opportunity to prove it!

Welcome 2011!

Glad to have survived the festive season with your sanity still intact? Still able to get the pants buttoned/zipped? Joined a gym yet? I do love the holidays, but man, I pay for all the over indulgences afterwards!
I really enjoy time spent with family during the holiday season, so the months of December/January found me in both New York and Florida, celebrating with my brother (NY) and with my parents in Florida. It was a first to fly with my baby girl, she did great!
Back to reality, back to work!
Things are heating up real estate wise, people have come out of hibernation and started looking for their next home. There is nothing more exciting than being with someone when they find their dream home!
Mortgage rates have risen a bit, but are still great. I think the resent rise in rates may have prompted people to act sooner rather than later.
When you're ready, I'm ready! The Stuart Sinclair Team is ready to roll on 2011!!

New Year, New Experiences!

Purged the house of all the seasonal decorations yet? I've noticed that the stores not only have all the Christmas decorations and candies piled into clearance bins, but they already have the Valentines stuff out! My first thought was "whoa, take it easy! Let us ease into the new year first, before hitting us over the head with the next "occasion". But really, before we know it, we will be out there, reading sappy Valentines cards and reaching for heart shaped boxes. Also, before we know it, we'll be in the middle of the spring market! A lot of families I know have expressed interest in listing their homes and moving onward and upward, but are waiting for spring. Well, sorry to wake you from winter hibernation, but the spring market typically starts in about 5-6 weeks! If you've been planning on tearing down that wall paper and painting, or finally gutting the basement before listing, now is the time to act!
