This is a follow up on the prospecting contest we had in our office recently. Read my earlier post for details.

Well I did not win the $5,000. It turned out that one person did drop out so my odds inproved to 1 in 19. Still not good enough to win the big prize. There were 2nd & 3rd prizes also given out. Those awards were discounts on one agents office bill, no rent for 6 months, and the other was discounts at KW Mega Camp. Those were unexpected and very generous on the part of the office management.

Now for the numbers, 20 Agents, 20 Days, Total Calls 7981, Contacts 2101, Appointments 86, Listings 11, Sales 5, Referrals 31. We are located in SW FL and this is our off season. These contacts will pay many more dividends as we approach the winter selling season.

While only one person won the money, several agents have signed contracts that will yield them more than the $5,000 when they close escrow. Our average sales price is $500k.

We will see going forward if the majority of the group has started a new habit or not. There is some talk around that management might attempted it again. That would be great!

Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

The Estates of Marco Island, FL

Located at the southeastern end of Marco Island, Fl is an area designated as The Estates of Marco Island, FL It is due to the fact that the home sites are larger than the rest of Marco Island and range in size from .25 acres to a full acre.

Many of the home sites in the estates back up to a canal, bay, or directly on the pass to the Gulf of Mexico. This is a great selling point for the homeowner looking for a lot to moor his or her yacht out behind their home. The canals lead out to the Gulf of Mexico. These often have views that are just simply unbelievable! The water access lots are some of the most expensive home sites on the Island. An acre lot here with a exceptional view will sell for between $2-$4 million depending on all the particulars. There are smaller lots that will sell for more than the larger lots due to the views.

The home sites that are not on the water start at an asking price of $339,000. This gives you a starting point for what home site values are in the Estates of Marco Island, FL.

One of the nice characteristics of the Estates of Marco Island, Fl is that unlike much of Marco Island it is hilly, at least hilly for Florida standards. Most of the island is just a few feet above sea level. In the estates you can ascend Indian Hill which is over 30 ft above sea level and see for quite a distance in all directions. The hills give the estates more of a unique feeling.

The estates is an area where you will often see bikers and joggers. I have seen roller bladders and even one out of the ordinary site of a gentleman who looked like he was trying to stay in shape for the skiing season. He had the poles and skis. The skis had wheels and he would propel himself along with the poles. Quite the site at least in hot sunny FL.
