Last April was the first North Pinellas Realtor All Star Panel.

Meeting at the Oldsmar, Fl Marriott, area Realtors heard from a top producer panel regarding real estate topics such as lead generation, systems and tools, education, networking, market conditions and distressed properties.

The panel guests were Bob McCaffrey - Century 21, Terry Tillung - Coldwell Banker, Linda Casuso - Keller Williams, and Mollie Gilliard - ReMax.

Ideas and business was exchanged and several dozen Real Estate agents attended the event.

Sponsors included Commonwealth Insurance, Pillar to Post Inspections, Star Title Partners, and Van Dyk Mortgage.

Stay tuned for the next All Star panel event location and time to be announced.

Real Estate - Pinellas County - Palm Harbor Note on Statistics

April 2009 Distressed Property Sales numbered 349 distressed sold vs. 935 total sold units.

Six months ago, distresed Property Sales numbered 115 distressed sold vs. 778 total sold units.

This tells me that distressed property sales accounted for around 15% of all residential property sales transactions six months ago, and distressed property sales today account for almost 38% of total all residential property sales transactions.

The good news is that we are getting distressed property off the market. And there are a lot of good opportunities for buyers.

Business is happening  in the regular arena of home sales as well. It just takes, correct pricing, best presentation, and complete marketing, to get the homes sold. 

In Pinellas County - Palm Harbor, real estate WIN/WIN transactions are happening all the time. Stay informed, stay tuned and stay focused. 

Statistics interpreted from Pinells County Realtor Organization April  2009 report.
