Back to Back Sales through Community Blogging Efforts
This past fall I was contacted by someone who has been searching for Sandpiper Golf & Country club homes for sale and stumbled upon my my blog of the Sandpiper Golf & Country club in Lakeland FL.
We talked a little bit about the community and her need to buy a home in the Sandpiper Community. During the conversation she informed me that she needs to sell her home first and her home is a manufactured home in the Cypress Lakes community in Lakeland.
After an extensive real estate market research, I noticed that homes in the Cypress Lakes community may have its challenges that are besides the current market value decline. There are only a small number of homes that are land owned and you just can’t go into this 55+ adult community without having an appointment with a resident. The 24hr gate guard is very strict. The homes that have sold within the last twelve months are averaging almost a year, and the homes that are currently for sale reaching two years on the market off and on. I have explained to the seller that the time is great because folks from the northern states are coming back to Florida and pricing the home attractively will sell during the time the snow birds are here.
With all my marketing efforts about getting this home as much traffic as possible, a community blog about the Cypress Lakes was in order, so I grabbed my camera and the seller gave me a grand tour about this community.
In February, after reducing the price we received an offer. After some negotiations, my client accepted the buyers offer for a closing in April.
We viewed homes in the Sandpiper Golf & Country Community that were within her price range. An offer was made and after negotiations, the seller accepted my clients offer for an April closing.
A successful back to back closing that came from my community blogging efforts about the Sandpiper Golf and Country Club and the Cypress Lakes Community in Lakeland.
I have been blogging for about three years now and love doing community blogs. Consider this, when folks looking into a community they are interested in or read your enticing blogs about a community, guess who they will be calling - YOU! As a community blogger it gives you an edge over your competition and your knowledge about the communities is power
