These pictures resemble Citrus County's natural appeal. The year round 72 degree crystal clear spring fed rivers attract the endagered West Indian Manatee. The mild weather here on the "Nature Coast" makes for a beautiful autumn-like day to take your boat out onto the "River" for a cruise. You might even decide to take a swim in January! What a treat.
Beautiful sunny Florida! What a great place to live. Why would anyone want to wait to buy a home here,when there is so much to gain.
According to the Florida Association of Realtors, home prices have fallen 20% statewide in the past year. Home sales volumes are rising again indicating that the market is gradually regaining its strength, meaning that NOW is the TIME TO BUY! Abundant inventory levels give buyers ideal conditions to find their dream home. This won't last forever. As sales volumes increase, inventory levels will gradually decrease.
The federal, state, and local housing programs can help buyers afford The American Dream. The U.S. Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 includes a $7,500 tax credit for first-time home buyers on a home purchased between April 9, 2008, and July 1, 2009. President Obama's stimulus package promises to make programs possible that will help Americans become homeowners.
Mortgage rates are the lowest they've been since the 1970's. This helps strengthen a buyers financial power. Just a 1% increase in interest rates can make a considerable difference. DO the math. A $200,000 loan, with an increase from 5% to 6% costs about $125 more per month and $45,000 over the life of the loan. On a $400,000 loan, the same increase costs buyers an additional $250 per month and about $90,000 over the life of the loan.
Affordable housing in Florida should attract home-buyers which is key to help strengthen our economy. Home buyers need to be educated enough to be able to invest in their future. The Florida lifestyle attracts people of all ages. The warm weather, nature, and year round outdoor activities make this state a very desirable place to live.
Right Now is the PERFECT TIME TO BUY A HOME in Florida!
Well, the year is off to a great start. Getting my name out there can be a difficult task. I bring my business cards everywhere I go.
I received a call a couple of weeks ago from a gentleman in Korea. He had a one acre peice of property in Pine Ridge, FL that he wanted to sell at a firm price of $50,000. I knew that it was a bit over priced in this market, but I chose to list it anyway. As it turns out, I ended up negotiating two offers, with my client accepting the highest bid.
To make this sale, I had used my knowledge of a real estate professonal and advised my client that it was a great offer and that he should accept it. With that being said, he took my advice. It was only on the market for 15 DAYS! This was a great thing for me. I learned alot.
The process of selling it taught me some negotiation skills and I learned about selling property for clients from a foreign country. It definitely put some experience under my belt.
I picked up this lead from putting my business cards in the local community center.

I'm glad that I took the time to do so. It really paid off!

I am a full-time Realtor that is dedicated to serving my clients. I am here unconditionally for all of your real estate needs in Citrus County. Check out my website www.floridapropertytoday.com
My name is Jennifer Tellier. I pursued my career as a Realtor in February of 2008. I am an agent working with Keller Williams Realty in Citrus County, FL. The training and expertise that my team leader Debbie Rector and her teaching colleagues help me become the best that I can be. Keller Willams Realty in Citrus County has been a great choice of companies for me to join because it offers coaching with some of the top agents in our area. Keller Williams is the fastest growing real estate franchise in the nation. Our company is ranked the #1 office in closed individual transactions.
I was born in Woonsocket, Rhode Island and raised in Stowe, Vermont. I relocated to central Florida in the year 2000 in search of warm weather. The beauty of the nature coast has convinced me to stay and make Citrus County my home. Current hobbies of mine include spending time with family and my blue tick hounds, traveling, cooking, gardening, fishing, and camping.
I am a technically innovative agent with great aspirations. I am a young and aggressive sales person with lots of integrity who is ready to invest my time in you. I will work in a professional manner to achieve the 100% results that you anticipate and expect. I love helping my clients and doing it with a high level of enthusiasm. There is nothing more gratifying than another successful sale and another happy client. I love my career!
Centrally located, Citrus County is boarded by spring fed rivers and the Gulf of Mexico and is nestled among protected bird sanctuaries. It is only an hour and half drive from Disney, Busch Gardens , Daytona Beach , Historical Ybor City , and much more!
Citrus County, Florida is a place full of character with an array of beautiful views that has something to offer everyone. It is filled with designated hiking and bike paths and horseback riding trails. It also has snorkeling and diving and swimming with the manatees in the all year round 72 degree spring fed waters. Fun cannot be avoided in any occasion. It is a place where you can comfortably retire or raise a family.
Citrus County offers a wide variety of housing opportunities from the historical lakes of Floral City to the rolling equestrian estates of Pine Ridge. For the avid fisherman it provides seven fresh water rivers, most flowing into the Gulf of Mexico giving the angler the choice of fresh or saltwater fishing in the same day. Spotted throughout the area are some of the Southeast's finest golf courses with many fairway home sites available today.
Although close to the major cities of Florida, Citrus County remains quaint and therefore is proudly called the
"Nature's Coast".
As a long time renter with a young growing family I wanted to move forwarded into the permanency and space of a home. As a first time home buyer my biggest problem was that I had terrible credit and our country was in the middle of a loan crisis making it nearly impossible for an individual with good credit to get a home loan. When I approached Jennifer about my wishes and concerns, she simply smiled and said, "We will find a way." Well Jennifer not only found us the perfect home in a beautiful Citrus Springs but went the extra mile and searched as far as Minnesota to get our home loan. We are now settled into a fenced in 3 bedroom home walking distance from the park. I can't thank Jennifer enough for her determination.
As a new client of Jennifer Tellier, I am pleased to recommend her to anyone who may be trying to sell properties in this "buyer's market". I bought my property shortly after the boom of 2004 as values dropped for investment. After sitting on the properties for a few years I decided to try and unload them on my own in this tough market in an effort to recoup some initial capital. I failed and therefore decided to talk to a professional. Jennifer recognized my short comings immediately. She explained that most inventors buying after the real estate bubble did so with the anticipation that it would be just a short tim e before market would shoot right back up to unprecedented heights again. Well as I now realize, the "perfect storm" is not a very likely outcome, but as Jennifer explained there remains a reasonable profit to be realized here in the current market. Jennifer perfectly managed my expectations and pointed the fact that after the sell I am in one of the strongest buyer's markets in history and with her help I could further my investment growth. I now realize that the real estate investment game is not a game, it is a strategy!!! Jenifer wasted no time building my property listing to a wonderful presentation including an eye catching digital collage of what the " Nature Coast " has to offer. She went as far as to personally visit the community center my property is within to locate each amenity a potential buyer would enjoy should they decide to purchase. I really appreciate her extra effort!! Timothy Nee

As Our former Director of Sales for Randoli's Natural Repellent, Inc. Jennifer was responsible for building new accounts for our local start-up company. In one short year she advanced the company from 3 or 4 small local accounts to nearly 100 accounts throughout Florida and the Southeast. Being a product of the "information age" her young and technically tenacious sales ability allowed her to reach-out to potential clients quickly and effectively by means of unique internet networking and strategically placed "click through" ads. Once the internet campaign was established and running independently she took to the road traveling from prospect to prospect generating new accounts by means of a traditional and notoriously more difficult "cold sale" campaign. It is my belief that her successes in this sales arena built a greater personal confidence and direct people skills which will carry her through the everyday sales cycles of Real Estate today. Jennifer will be missed from our organization and wish her all the best in her new career direction.
Randy Robbins, CEO
