There is a phrase in health care that reads "where you start, matters." I believe this can also be applied to buying and selling real estate as it relates to choosing a representative who will always have your best interests in mind. Alice deLa Penha and Sean Casilli are exactly the right choices in a tough Florida home market. My wife and I owned a condo in a luxury complex containing about 300 units in northwest Florida. At any given time, there existed between 12 and 15 units with the exact floorplan as ours. When it was time for us to sell, we witnessed many of our neighbors list their properties through other agencies 10% higher than ours. Many of them wound up selling out of desperation at a price 10% lower than ours. Alice and Sean had intimate knowledge of not only our surrounding area, but also of our complex.

There is a phrase in health care that reads "where you start, matters." I believe this can also be applied to buying and selling real estate as it relates to choosing a representative who will always have your best interests in mind. Alice deLa Penha and Sean Casilli are exactly the right choices in a tough Florida home market. My wife and I owned a condo in a luxury complex containing about 300 units in northwest Florida. At any given time, there existed between 12 and 15 units with the exact floorplan as ours. When it was time for us to sell, we witnessed many of our neighbors list their properties through other agencies 10% higher than ours. Many of them wound up selling out of desperation at a price 10% lower than ours. Alice and Sean had intimate knowledge of not only our surrounding area, but also of our complex. They did their homework, and we agreed to a listing price that placed us squarely into a sweet spot we never budged from. While others sat on their listings for eight, ten and even twelve months before deciding to have a fire sale, we patiently waited for about four months and got under contract for 99.5% of our original asking price. Alice and Sean maintained their confidence in our price without wavering. They consistently demonstrated their expertise all the while. Once we entered into the offer, counter-offer stage, Alice and Sean really showed their stuff. We had several prospective buyers attempt low-ball offers. They helped us negotiate strategically without getting emotional. We are confident that their efforts helped us land a sale much higher than another agent would have. If you have the desire to hire realtors who will guide every step of the journey, Alice and Sean are the only choice. They will not always tell you what you want to hear; they will not always agree with your plan of attack. What they will offer you is truth, follow-through, and well-informed courses of action. All you have to do is be willing.
