My wife and I worked with Jamie for a couple of yearstrying to find a second home in Boca Grande, and we bought a house in Boca Grande Islesin July of 2020 I cannot say enough about Jamie! During our search shekept usfullyinformed of all the relevant (andrapidly changing) market information, and was a great tour guide around the island. Jamie provided sage counsel during the offering and negotiation, and we were very pleased with the outcome. After we had the house under contract, Jamie continued to show her worth by coordinating multiple inspections, contractors, and service companiesto get usall of the information that we needed I highly recommend that anyone looking for a house in Boca Grande workwithJamie- youwill beingreat hands!

CommonSeller Questions
- Can we list for only 30 / 90 days? Six months is our minimum company policy to ensure that your property receives thebest exposurewecan provide.
- We were t hinking about a company besides Sot heby's. Sotheby's is recognized as the international luxury real estate leader. Gulf to Bay Sotheby's in Boca Grande, is the Island market leader We outpace our competation in sales volume by 50% year after year I think you realize that a company doesn't sell a home, it's actually the individual agent's activities, experience, and professionalism that create a successful transaction After reviewing my marketing plan and historical experience in Boca Grande,I'm sure you will feel confident that I can sell your home for top dollar.
- Will we save t he commission by selling it ourselves? Since Hurricane Ian, our transactions have become incredibly complex Topics such as mold, water damage, insurance issues, bank failures, red tide, global warming, assessments, etc are continual points of discussion for Buyers You need an experienced professional to address these issues with confidence and who will protect you and your family during the transaction.
- Can we list our propert y higher and come down lat er if it doesn't sell? It makes sense at first thought to list high and leave room for negotiating, however, this creates problems in getting the home sold Most buyers won't even bother looking at properties that are over priced since Hurricane Ian and the longer "days on market" a property has the more negatively it impacts your sale value When we price the property right, you have the chance for multiple offers versus not having any offers or opportunities to negotiate.
- Is it bet t er t o use a friend in t he business? In today's market almost everyone knows one or two people that are in real estate. The question you need to ask yourself is, are you selling the house to do a favor to your friend or are you truly looking for an aggressive agent that will net you top dollar for your home? It's never a good plan to mix friendship and business in multi-million dollar luxury transactions This is a common mistake on a small Island like Boca Grande
- What do you do t o sell homes? There are two types of agents in real estate today: Passive and Active I am an active, full time agent, so when you sign the listing agreement I immediately get to work marketing your property and creating maxiumum exposure fo your home. I have found that a motivated homeowner wants an agent that will work actively and agressively to get the home sold. Many real estate agents on the Island spend 6 months a year "someplace else " With the exception of occasional vacations,I'm here,boots on the ground all year
- Will you cut your commission? Our commission rate is 6% to be split with the listing agent and the selling agent, 3% each Of my portion of the commission, I share 6% with Sotheby's corporate and a local percentage with my Gulf to Bay office.Why should you be concerned if another agent has agreed to reduce their commission? If an agent isn't strong enough to stand up to you during their negotiations regarding their own value, how strong can they possibly be defending the value of your home during future negotiations if they are willing to negotiate themselves? Do you want someone who is going to use your equity as a negotiating tool in the same way they do their own commission?
