Mission Statement
Many Realtors® think their most important job is satisfying the customer.
We don’t think that’s true. We believe that satisfying the customer is
simply the minimum requirement for staying in business. We
work constantly to improve our systems, processes and
services to go well beyond the standard level of
“service” provided by most Realtors®.
Simply put, our objectives are to get you the
most money in the least time, and with the
fewest hassles. We want to provide the best
service in the industry. Period.
Sell your property yourself, while it is listed, and pay no commission.
This does not apply to a buyer exposed to the property by our
office or another agent.
Cancel the listing at anytime.
Either you or Florida State Realty Group, Inc. can cancel by
calling and saying “I want to cancel the listing.” It’s that simple.
The cancellation becomes effective at the time you call. Please
allow 2 business days to have the sign removed and the listing
withdrawn form the multiple listing service.
No advance fees of any kind.
You only pay if we procure an offer that is acceptable to you.
No pressure presentation.
We will never allow you to be “pressured” by the Buyer’s agent. All
offers will be faxed or delivered to our offices and presented to you by
phone, so you can make your decisions privately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should we list our home for sale with you?
A: You should hire us for the same reason our sellers have used us over and over again.
They know that they can depend on us to get them the most money, in the shortest
amount of time, with the fewest hassles.
Our No Hassle Listing Home Marketing system offers benefits that the ordinary agent
does not. Our program offers flexible commissions to put more money in your pocket,
a client reward program when both buying and selling, a cancel anytime policy, and the
right to sell your home yourself and pay us nothing.
When hiring anyone to perform a job for you, experience should weigh heavily in that
decision. Who really wants to be the surgeon’s first patient?
Let’s examine one of our program benefits; we allow you to cancel the listing at any
time. Most agents will not give the consumer this right. You might ask yourself why
agents need to “lock you up” for four to six months. Why would they be afraid to give
you the right to cancel? Our philosophy is that we would rather strive to earn your
business every day. We are confi dent that we can provide a superior level of service and
care. If we don’t, we don’t deserve your business. It is that simple.
Q: I heard that there are limited service agents who charge less.
Why shouldn’t I hire the cheapest agent?
A: Sellers don’t need an agent just to sell their house. They need an agent to sell their
house or more! If your property would sell for the same price no matter who sells it – it
probably would be in your best interest to sell the home yourself. In that case, why pay
any agent?
The fact of the matter is we can sell your home for more. We have the track record we
do because we are experts at pricing the property and experts at creating the greatest
amount of exposure for your property.
Even at contract presentation, we do not follow the pack. We do not permit other
agents to pressure you into a rash decision. The contract will be presented to you by us
alone. This specifi c action (especially when there are multiple offers) gets significantly
more dollars for our sellers. It is very difficult for a seller not to transmit emotions and
reactions to another agent. That can cost a seller money.
Sadly, there are many agents who need the deal (sometimes more than you do). The
weakest negotiator in any transaction is the one who has to have the deal. We are
in the fortunate position of having enough clients that any one deal won’t make us or
break us. Therefore the negotiations are really about getting you the most money for
your home. Period. If the offer doesn’t make sense, you can count on us to tell you so.
In addition to these points above, with our sliding scale commission (6% - 4% - 1%
- 0%) and our Client Reward Program, our fees in many cases are even less than the
limited service broker.
Q: Why do your homes sell so fast? Do you price them too low?
A: Absolutely not. Most of our listings sell at
close to full price. Because we specialize in
South Florida Luxury homes we have acquired a vast knowledge of our niche market,
This knowledge combined with our seasoned agents ensure that you get the highest
possible price for your home. We accomplish this by first doing a supply/demand analysis
in the immediate area for any home we consider marketing. All agents have access
to the same market information. It is the evaluation of what that information means to
the marketing of a home that matters. X-rays mean nothing until they are evaluated by
a competent doctor. Similarly, knowing what the market is doing in any area affects both
the marketing time and value. Factors like area, demand, condition, pricing, accessibility,
and agent choice all affect a home’s time on market. Because of our effective
marketing efforts our homes typically sell significantly faster.
Q: Why do your homes sell so fast? Do you price them too low?
A: Absolutely! All of our yard signs, as well as our promotional materials and ads
prominently feature our web site address which is one of the area's top visited
real estate website.
Our media promotion drives thousands of buyers to view homes on our web site.
Your home will also be prominently featured on Realtor.com, the number one real
estate web site in the world, as well as on Google, AOL, MSN and Yahoo. To increase
buyer interest in our properties we always Showcase out listings on Realtor.com. Per Realtor.com, our listings are viewed twenty times as often as a regular listing on
Realtor.com. According to the National Association of Realtors “Profi le of Home
Buyers and Sellers”, over 84% of home buyers used the internet when starting
their home search process.
Q: If we list with you, will we be on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?
A: Absolutely! Any agent who does not place your home on MLS is doing you a huge
disservice. With over 50,000 agents in the tri-county area, it is important to tap
in to that agent base of buyers. Also, if you are not on MLS you cannot appear on Realtor.com, the number one real estate site on the internet.
Q: Do you take Photographs of our listing? We noticed many
internet listings contained only one, or in many cases no
photograph at all.
A: We are not professional photographers. We do however contract with a professional
photographer/videographer to fully detail each of our listings with wide angle
photos and a professionally edited video tour. These are all provided to Realtor.com in a
showcase presentation to ensure adequate exposure of your home to the most
widely visited web site in the country. These detailed images are also the focal
point for many other forms of our internet and traditional marketing efforts. Great
photographs simply get buyers excited.
Q: Once I have reviewed your
No Hassle Listing package, then what?
A: Contact our office by e-mail or phone, and we will set up an appointment to have
one of our listing specialists meet with you. We will tour the home, go over recent
market activity in your area to educate you on values, and make recommendations
for maximizing your profit and increasing your speed of sale.
Q: How long does it take to get my home on the market?
A: Once we have a signed listing agreement and a spare key, we can have your
home on the market within 48 hours. However, it usually takes two or three days for the
sign company to professionally install the sign and the photographer/videographer to take the
necessary photographs.
Q: Can I save more money if I buy and sell through you?
A: Absolutely! If you are selling more than one house or plan to both sell
and buy (new or resale), ask for a copy of our Client Rewards Program.
We will mail or e-mail it to you immediately!
