Sandi Ward, the RE Agent Who Made the Impossible Possible!
Being a real estate investor can be completely frustrating if you are doing everything yourself with the wrong people, or extremely rewarding if you have the right team and strategy protecting and promoting your investment.
I heard that Gulf Shore Realty specialized in luxury homes listings and it had a tremendously successful track record of sales - with a reputation for being among the best real estate companies in West Florida and across the state. Their network of clients, buyers and professionals was impressive and First-Class.
So, when I reached out to them one sales agent took on a listing that was not luxurious but a cute, simple starter home with lots of potential. It was my home and the agent was Sandi Ward.
She immediately got onboard with me, guiding me through the upgrades of what the home needed for its optimum stage, ready to be put on the market.
Afterwards, Sandi hired a real estate photography professional who created awesome photos of the property, including interiors, exteriors and aerial. Her marketing cards and magazine ads were fantastic and began to generate calls and inquiries almost immediately.
Truth be told, the house was on the market for over 6 months and then the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt on the economy - right in the best month for home sales in Florida.
I didn't give up on Sandi and Sandi didn't give up on the property - she believed in it as much as I did even after reducing the price 3 times throughout this period.
And then, by the 8th month on the market, we received an offer for higher than our listing price! It's true. We knew this was the right buyer and began the process of the contract for sale right away.
It had a lot of hurtles; a lot of unexpected barriers. But Sandi's spirit was clear: be patience and persevere.
That's what I admire most about Sandi. She never wavered from her intention of selling the property to the right buyer and we all gained and were happy because of her perseverance, dedication and hard work.
Thanks Sandi - you are the best! read more
