Are any homes selling?
Of course homes are selling... in the first week of March alone, 15 homes closed in South Tampa and another 37 properties went under contract. More and more sellers are seeing the value in reducing prices as 211 homes dropped in price over the same period creating better bargains for buyers! Over the last several months around 1000 homes have sold on a consistent basis throughout Hillsborough County and the surrounding areas served by our local board of REALTORS.
A number of our listings are getting offers in their first 30 days on the market. We also recently had a wonderful property go under contract in just 14 days. When homes are priced, presented and promoted effectively, our clients save time and in this market saving time is definitely saving money.
Why should I list with you?
Over 80% of Real Estate Agents have no prior sales and marketing experience or training.
I graduated Cum Laude from the University of South Florida with a Business Degree with concentrations in Marketing and Finance. I also have over 14 years of sales and marketing experience. I've sold real estate in good times and bad, written advertising copy for a wide variety of clients and products and consistently been in the top of my field.
My marketing plan follows the 80-20 rule, and I focus my efforts on the three things most likely to attract a buyer for your home. My internet syndication programs push my listings in front of literally hundreds of individual buyers each week, I engage in good old fashioned word of mouth advertising with a network of over 450 registered buyers and literally thousands of area real estate agents, and I make the most of the sign in your yard using 800# call capture technology that generates 3-7 times more calls than typical signage.
At the end of the day, our clients get offers faster and from more qualified buyers. Nothing will help a seller earn more money than our strong, focused marketing program. If this appeals to you, email me to list your home today, OK?
Why is your website so different?
I decided a long time ago to build a network of consumer centric real estate sites targeting neighborhoods, communities and zip codes that I care about. Rather than have a flashy site about me, my focus is on presenting the available inventory in a number of convenient ways that benefit home buyers. Research shows that 85% of consumers looking for real estate information on the web are looking for listings and our network of sites is geared toward satisfying that need.
I have a healthy amount of educational information for both buyers and sellers, along with a free home quote service for current home owners. The South Tampa Zip Codes and Free Tampa Home Search sites are all about the inventory, and this site is really about you and your questions for me. If you'd like to find out more, send me a question or we can set an appointment if you would like to learn more about working together. |

I am happy to write this letter regarding Robert Wilson. My mother passed away last April and Rob was our agent of choice when it came time to sell her home in South Tampa. It was a very trying and stressful time for our family, and Rob was empathetic and understanding; this was so helpful to us and made the transition much easier.
We found Rob to be hardworking, diligent, honest and reliable. He did not waste our time and our experience with Rob was very positive. So much so, in fact, that when I decided to look for a condo in South Tampa, I didn't think of calling anyone else. Once again, he proved to be most helpful and responsive. I am very happy with the outcome of my home search and will be closing on my new home at the end of the month. It could not have been easier, thanks to Rob. He's a credit to his company and his profession. In my opinion, you could not make a better choice.

A quick note to thank you for your work on my behalf during my relocation to Florida. I’ve moved over 20 times as an adult, including 5 relocations. This was by far the most pleasurable relocation experience I’ve had due to your efforts. I appreciate your diligence in acting as my eyes and feet in Florida while I was in Chicago. You had a very clear picture of what I was looking for in a new home, including a good understanding of my budget and needs and treated my search as if it was your own. You also displayed a thorough knowledge of the market so my trips here to look at potential property was targeted to homes within my budget, in the geographic parameters I needed, and included the features I was looking for.
When it came time to negotiate a contract you negotiated with my best interests as your only concern…I truly felt I was negotiating from a position of strength due to your preparation and determination. After we signed the contract and you saw signs the developer was potentially not following through on parts of the agreement, you were aggressive and maintained our leverage to control the process ensuring everything we were promised was delivered.
Thank you Rob for your hard work and professionalism.

My partner and I are real estate investors in South Tampa. Our past experience with real estate agents has been below average, at best. This can certainly not be said for Robert Wilson. My partner and I decided to put one of our properties on the market over a year ago. We placed it under Buy Owner in order to avoid dealing with agents. Recently, Robert approached us and asked if we would think about giving him a shot. Because of his professionalism, we decided to give it a try. Since then, Robert has displayed nothing but the highest of standards and sold our condo within 4 weeks.
We would highly recommend Robert to list your property. Furthermore, we would go so far to say that he would be the only agent with whom we would choose to list a property.

My husband Don and I recently purchased a Tampa home with the help of your agent Rob Wilson. We just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what a fantastic job he did. Rob was so patient and professional with us throughout the entire process. He has certainly acquired life long customers. Purchasing this home and relocating to the Tampa area was a very stressful time for us, but thanks to Rob, everything went very smoothly.

Rob Wilson is a very persistent and professional Real Estate person. After finding out that I invested in property, Rob went out and found a perfect match for my wife and me. After viewing the property I knew that he had my best interest at heart. He delivers a very personalized type of service that helped ease us into our property. Rob is the type of person that during the sale you will become friends with him. During our transaction Rob kept us informed as to what was going on with the process and what we needed to do for the process. Rob was a pleasure to work with and I will look forward to our continuing business relationship.

If I do buy, where should I buy?
Every agent will, and should, have a different opinion on this subject.
The focus of my business is on areas that are very walkable or a short commute to major employment centers. About 1/2 of my closed deals have been in South Tampa, which makes sense because home owners can walk to a variety of parks and shopping options from a number of South Tampa neighborhoods and the area is very close to major employment centers in Downtown Tampa, the Westshore Business District and MacDill Air Force Base.
Neighborhoods that have this combination of amenities and employment centers have historically been very strong places to invest in real estate.
I have also done a considerable amount of business in Tampa's Historic Heights neighborhoods (Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights & Riverside Heights). Many of these neighborhoods offer quick access to some great parks and a very quick drive to Downtown Tampa.
Westchase offers wonderful walkable areas in a more modern setting. Access to the Veteran's Expressway makes this a moderate commute for Westshore and Pinellas County workers.
Brandon & Temple Terrace round out my focus areas. Offering good value and a moderate commute to certain employment centers. Brandon can be a quick commute to Downtown Tampa and a number of office parks that populate eastern Hillsborough County. Temple Terrace provides great value to USF and university area hospital employees with a wonderful promise of future walkable redevelopment.
My business mission is to be the most persistent and best marketer of residential real estate in walkable, short commute neighborhoods in Tampa. The more I focus on core communities that I care about, the more value I can provide to clients in terms of buying or selling a home, does that make sense? Feel free to email if you want to have more information or to set an appointment.
How can I buy a home if I can't get a mortgage?
If you have good credit, and are willing and able to document your income you will be surprised by what loan options are available to you. Our in house lender is a wholesale operation that works with large banks, such as Bank of America, Countrywide, SunTrust, Wells Fargo and more. By eliminating overhead they can often save my clients money on the exact same loan products available from these large financial institutions. If you choose to shop around, I can use my financial education to ensure that you are getting the best deal. |
