Members of the Haute Residence Network share their insight into the benefits of having a real estate professional handle your home's sale instead of doing a "For sale by owner" on your own.

"Homeowners benefit from using a Realtor because they will ultimately make more money and have a less stressful transaction. Realtors bring to the table years of experience in determining the right asking price, marketing the property for maximum exposure, negotiating the contract, and avoiding contract pitfalls." - Jennifer Brilliant, Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, FL.

"Do you tell your doctor what your diagnosis is and how to treat yourself? No. So why would you think real estate is any different? You need expertise!" - Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL.

"Negotiations, marketing, paperwork... it's a full-time job, and you already have one. Great agents earn their keep and then some." - Tim Durkovic, Pasadena, CA.

"An experienced real estate agent like a physician or lawyer helps a homeowner navigate challenges and obstacles in the home selling process." - Wendy Gragg, Santa Barbara, CA.

"Access to the MLS, knowledgeable about market pricing and will have an accurate and unbiased listing price of your property. A full understanding of the entire real estate transaction from negotiating offers, verifying a buyer's creditworthiness, negotiating the physical inspection, overseeing the timeframes, monitoring the title and approval processes to ultimately bring all parties to a successful closing.  Nationwide statistics show that, with a realtor, you net 15% more than without one. Don’t sell yourself short." - Connie Huergo, Palm Beach Coast/Palm Beach Islands, FL.

"A skilled real estate agent has access to a far greater reach to market the property not just to consumers but to the other essential customer— other real estate agents who represent buyers looking at your property." - Robin Kencel, Greenwich, CT.

"Serious buyers of luxury homes overwhelmingly choose to work with a professional when buying a home. These qualified buyers look for homes that are listed with licensed professionals.” - Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

"Seasoned career realtors have the expertise, network connections, marketing avenues, and experience of obtaining the highest and best prices for one of their largest investments - their home." - Laura Livaudais, Asheville/Western North Carolina.

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.” - Mark Salmon in South Tahoe, CA, quoted Red Adair, American Oil Well Firefighter.

"I think the seller nets more money many times by hiring a listing agent; it's good business." - Michael Stanco, North Shore, Long Island, NY.

They were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Cristal Clarke: "I have never seen a January like this before. It's so busy, it seems even more ramped up than last year. It's amazing, the amount of people that want to be here. We get many clients coming from Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and various places throughout the US. It's a pleasure to help them find a home here. What's challenging now is our inventory. More things are coming on the market but inventory is a challenge because of how much was sold last year."

Scott Goshorn: "From April on, we have been setting records every month. Inventory and interest rates are low. Home has a different value for people. It used to be that people traveled a lot. But since they can't travel as much, or at all, and don't have to travel to work, it's more of a compound situation. They are upgrading their life. The market was crazy. We had an amazing year in 2020, and I project the same for 2021."

Jennifer Brilliant: "Starting last Summer through now, it's been extremely busy, even with a surge around Thanksgiving. Now we are in the time of the year that is usually our high season, so it's extremely busy and with an extra kick because of COVID. Even in 2019, there were people moving here for tax purposes. With COVID, it seems that everybody that was on the fence jumped up and came down here."

Laura Livaudais: "The main thing about Asheville is that we have a Winter, but we have four distinct seasons, and that's what people really like about our market. By the time you get tired of Winter, you have a beautiful Spring. People are trying to get out of certain markets that have harsher winters or hotter climates, so they are flocking to the Asheville market."

"The Brickell market has been transforming itself from an investor's heaven to an actual metropolis with end-users. It has become a vibrant community full of young families and millennials.  We are experiencing a huge surge in demand, especially from New York and California buyers. Condo sales have increased YTD 25% compared to the overall volume in the same time period for 2019. We have also seen bidding wars in many recently listed single-family homes." - Sebastian Acosta, Brickell Key, FL.

"For 2021, Fisher Island is going to take a very dynamic upturn in sales and prices. The reason for that is because we've had a huge influx of northeasterners that have descended here, wanting to get out of the cities because of Covid and the winter months. We are seeing much more activity of new renters and new buyers. The excitement lies in these renters that have come to rent here for the high season to experience everything that Fisher Island has to offer, which is an incredible lifestyle, sea breeze, and exclusivity. Those renters are commenting that they will be looking to buy starting in 2021. It's a small enclave that people from all over the world converge in and make friends." - Elena Bluntzer, Fisher Island, FL.

"I expect the demand in the area to continue to be strong in 2021. People will continue to move to this area because it is within walking distance to the beach, Bal Harbour Shops, and a multitude of other shopping and dining options. It is known for the great public schools and quiet, peaceful neighborhoods. There are also plenty of waterfront properties for boaters. This beautiful area offers all of this while still being close to main highways and airports." - Jennifer Brilliant, Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, FL.

"The luxury market in Aventura will continue an upward swing for 2021. The current high influx, of buyers from all over the country that are relocating to South Florida, is driving prices higher as a result and the inventory of available properties decreasing. This is true not just in Aventura but all over the South Florida market." - Sylvia Fragos, Aventura, FL.

"Delray's housing market is expected to flourish and be on the move in 2021. It is predetermined by five key housing indicators: mortgage rates, the existing home median sales price appreciation, existing home sales, single-family home housing, and the homeownership rate." - Connie Huergo, Delray Beach, FL.

"I believe the high-demand for single-family homes is going to continue in 2021. I think that people who are renting homes will turn into home buyers, and new/remodeled homes will be more attractive to buyers and sell faster than homes that need upgrades." - Roberta Ingletto, Pinecrest/South Miami, FL.

"2021 will be an extraordinary opportunity to create what I define as a legacy purchase, a home not only for the immediate needs of your family but also for future generations. Ocean Reef, USA’s #2 Private Club, is the ultimate multi-generational community with unparalleled amenities, plus safety and security.” - Mary Lee, Ocean Reef, FL.

“Everyone calls Edgewater the new Miami and I couldn’t agree more with such a statement. Luxury condos such as Elysee and Missoni Baia will have a tremendous positive impact on the real estate landscape of the area. It’s already got a unique urban vibe. I can’t wait to see its full transformation in the near future.” - Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL.

"Demand for single-family homes continues to peak each month as high-tax state residents who have been preparing since 2018 are ready as ever for their dream life in Miami Beach. Now seeking pandemic shelter as well, working from home, managing your business, or enjoying your retirement has no boundaries and there’s not a more desired zip code than 33139 or 33140." - Paola Marulanda, Miami Beach Islands, FL.

"Venetian Islands is without doubt one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Miami due to the quality single-family homes and lifestyle it offers. As of today, and despite the year we have been facing, the sales volume for single-family homes in Venetian Islands is surpassing the amount we have seen in previous years mainly due to the large migration of population from the north of the country. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming year along with new international buyers approaching as borders start opening. The majority of property owners looking to downsize and sell their property at a premium price will continue listing their homes, keeping the market hot while many new buyers build new properties, making out of Venetian Islands a more renovating and premium neighborhood." - Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro, Venetian Islands, FL.

"After an unexpected 2020 that truly transformed the demand dynamics for luxury Real Estate in Southwest Ranches, we could not be more excited for a stellar 2021, as we continue to see an exponential interest for space, privacy and luxurious amenities in the private residential properties. Southwest Ranches and AKAI Estates offer all of that and much more!" - Bento Queiroz, Southwest Ranches, FL.

How did the third quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Surfside? How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year?

The third quarter was extremely busy and there were a lot of sales in Surfside. There were 41 sales (single-family and condos) this year in July, August, and September compared to 23 sales during that same time period last year. It is true that there have been a lot of people moving here from the northeast and other areas, but most of my sales during the 3rd quarter were actually locals who wanted to upsize (bigger house, bigger yard with a pool, etc.) or moving from a condo to a house.

Photo Credit: iUsePhotography

Do you expect a more or less active 4th quarter for this year than previous years?

I expect the 4th quarter to be more active than previous years. There are currently 17 pending sales in Surfside and it is only the middle of October. Last year, we had a very strong 4th quarter with 36 homes sold but we usually see less than that. I think that people will continue to make moves to the area, whether is it locals changing their living situation or people from other states seeking less density, better weather, or tax relief.
