Hi, I'm Rebecca Riley and I'm here to help you find the best solution to buying or selling your home near the beautiful southeast Florida shoreline.

BUYERS?? If you listen to the news and read the papers it seems that all you hear about are corrections, overbuilt areas, falling prices, gloom and doom. Take a moment and think about it, this is a GREAT BUYING OPPORTUNITY.

How many of you have told me, “If only I had bought when the market was down.” Well, it’s down and here is your chance. Prices are down. Interest rates are down. Opportunities abound. Don’t find yourself still on the sidelines when the market comes back.

Real estate has always been a great long term investment. If you have extra capital to invest, take advantage of this downturn and add to your portfolio. We can help you find the best buys on the market.

SELLERS?? If you own and do not plan to sell, the depreciation in property values is only a paper loss. That doesn’t make it easy to watch. I know because I am watching it on my own property, but if you’re in your home for the long term, just be patient. Even though prices may be down from a couple of years ago, history has shown that real estate is one of the best long term investments you can have in your portfolio.

If circumstances dictate that you do have to sell, perhaps for relocation, please keep in perspective that you will be able to purchase your next home at the same reduced price and be positioned to benefit from the recovery.

Yes, we can sell your home. The market is active. Will you get what you would have two years ago? No, we won't mislead you. We can promise, however, that we will market your home, worldwide, to find the most qualified buyers for a quick sale. The sale of your home is one of the most important financial transactions in your lifetime. With the challenging real estate market today, selling your home requires a real estate professional with experience and success in reaching thousands of qualified home buyers, locally, and WORLDWIDE.

Immediate action is critical when you list your home. Rebecca will have your home, complete with preliminary photos and all listing information, exposed on the worldwide internet market within 24 hours of listing. Professional photography, full color brochures, videos, attention getting Open Houses might be combined with a wine tasting, or yacht show to attract more potential buyers, color magazine ads, newspaper ads, marketing pieces direct mailed to hundreds of targeted prospective purchasers and successful agents plus a vast internet marketing plan, including professional websites, with sponsored Google and Yahoo searches, directed to a broad International market.

FOREIGN INVESTORS?? This is a TREMENDOUS time for you to purchase US real estate. You get and over a $1.00 for every Canadian Dollar, and approximately $1.50 for every Euro and $2.00 for every Pound Sterling! Take advantage of the weak dollar and market and BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY.

Fort Lauderdale is often called the Venice of America. With over 300 miles of waterways, having a home on a canal isn't as hard as you might think. I am very happy to call this oceanfront paradise my home. If you don't already live here, you probably wish you did. And now you're in luck, because change is in the wind. Buying a home or condo in Fort Lauderdale is getting easier.

Fort Lauderdale's residential real estate market has shifted from a seller's market, where home prices went up 20% to 30% each year, to one that is healthy and robust, yet more equitable for buyers. Even an article of a January 8, 2007 Sun-Sentinel article that says the time to buy is now! In June 2006 there were more than 20,000 homes and condominiums on the market in Broward County. There has never been a better time to buy. And it's more important than ever to be represented by a full time professional Realtor® who is on top of market trends. Lots of new people came into Real Estate in the past few years looking for "easy money". Everyone thought they could "sell" Real Estate, but they have only worked in the boom market.

In today's market, why trust anyone but a seasoned professional who has seen markets up and down, good and bad, and helped customers make the right moves through it all? I have many years experience in residential real estate and the knowledge and ability to analyze and comprehend the current market trends in Fort Lauderdale. My approach is simple and direct. Let's talk about what I can do for you.

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions in your lifetime. With today's challenging real estate market, selling your home requires a real estate professional with experience and success in reaching thousands of qualified home buyers, locally, and WORLDWIDE. Marketing has proven to be the single-most effective tool in selling homes and estates and I have a MBA in International Marketing.

The challenges of finding new buyers requires unique marketing programs, state of the art technology and the financial ability to spend the thousands of dollars required to consistently advertise your home until sold. I will promote your home via a wide, target specific venue to reach highly qualified buyers and successful real estate agents throughout the world. My combination of high impact marketing and continual monitoring of the effectiveness of my campaigns generate successful results.

Immediate action is critical. I will have your home, complete with preliminary photos and all listing information, exposed on the worldwide internet market within 24 hours of listing. Other marketing will include professional photography, full color brochures, videos, attention getting Open Houses (for example: in conjunction with a wine tasting, or yacht show to attract more potential buyers), color magazine ads, newspaper ads, marketing pieces direct mailed to hundreds of targeted prospective purchasers and successful agents plus a vast internet marketing plan, including professional websites, with sponsored Google and Yahoo searches, directed to a broad International market.
