Real Estate is Like Chocolate Milk

The first rule in real estate is location, location, location, right?

In my many years as a chocolate milk connoisseur, I can tell you the price of each chocolate milk brand out there.  More importantly, I can tell you how the price of a particular brand in Publix differs from the price of that same brand in Wal Mart.  If you tell me that you’re looking for a high-quality chocolate milk brand, in a nice location, at the lowest price possible, I would tell you to go to Publix and get their house brand priced at $2.99.  (Publix brand is the unspoken hero of chocolate milk everywhere!).  This is something that only a true chocolate milk connoisseur would be able to tell you.

Why should buying a home be any different?

After being licensed, I took my passion for the chocolate milk market and applied the same principles to real estate.  OK, so it is a little more complex, but I figured that I should be able to tell a client where the best homes are, in the nicest area, at the lowest price possible.  Most people know what they are looking for, but when people ask, “What is the price of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home,” I ask them “Where?”  Knowing the prices of different types of properties in different areas of Tampa Bay takes time.  It is my job to know that.  Real estate is one of the biggest investments people make. 

I want people to find a home that makes them as happy as I am when drinking Publix brand chocolate milk.  (What if there was a fridge full of Publix brand chocolate milk when purchasing a home? That must be what heaven is like!)
