Why Small Companies Are Better

September 25, 2024 by Michael A. Melnyk

We’re not an LLC, but a corporation – just like Apple, Tesla, Starbucks, and Berkshire Hathaway.  We have the same rights and advantages that all corporations enjoy.  However, we also have the many strengths and advantages of a small company.

The big box, franchise real estate companies don’t have the passion, enthusiasm, or authenticity that we provide on every transaction.  Quite simply, the big companies don’t have the heart and soul that the small companies provide – for example, truly taking pride in every detail of your work, actually caring about the client’s well-being, putting the client’s happiness ahead of profits.

I could show you a list of the big box, franchise real estate companies and then ask you:  ‘what’s the difference’?  Really, they’re all essentially the same, only with different names.
There is no tool/strategy/technology/marketing at big box real estate companies that either we do not already have, or would not be able to replicate to satisfy our clients.  As the smaller companies are more dynamic & nimble – it’s easy for us to be modern, especially keeping with the latest trends and the best technology.  We’re not a dinosaur.

Another advantage of smaller companies is the flexibility.  Unexpected and unforeseen problems come up all the time in real estate and mortgages, but since we don’t have restrictions or bureacracy – we just jump in and creatively find solutions that work. 

Importantly, small companies typically are run more efficiently without excess overhead – those lower expenses are ultimately passed on to you, the consumer.  Lower commissions to sell your home, lower interest rates to purchase a home.  You receive a high quality product, but substantially cheaper. 

We’re truly unique in having the best of both worlds,
having competitive advantages of both a major corporation AND a small boutique:
★ Marketing, Tools, Service, & Branding
★ Quality, Passion, Integrity, & Social Significance

2024 – It’ll Be A GREAT Year!

January 22, 2024 by Elegant Casas

With inflation already at its plateau, interest rates dropping, more lending options, increased inventory, and the continued influx of out-of-state buyers – it’s going to be a GREAT 2024!

Furthermore, Tampa Bay has made Zillow’s hottest housing markets of 2024 ranking!
The U.S. has more than 300 major cities with at least 100,000 people, according to data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau. Of all those cities, research conducted by Zillow led them to predict Tampa would be the 9th hottest housing market of 2024.
Factors like job growth, construction projects, and home value went into Zillow’s predictions.
