Joe Dallorso ~ Ocala Real Estate

About Joe

I have been a self employed entrepeneur all my adult life. I've learned a great deal over those years about customer service. I live by the following rules:

• Hold yourself to a higher standard than your customer expects.
• The day isn't over until you've returned all your calls.
• Never avoid a person or problem, they won't go away.
• Do what you promiss to do and do it when you said you would do it.
• Tell people what you really think not just what they want to hear.
• Do what ever it takes to get the job done.
• No one really cares about your excuses, no matter how good they might be.
• It's better to learn from the mistakes of others than from your own.
• Honesty is always the best policy.

I pride myself in being unconventional. A square peg in a world of round holes. I don't know how to think inside a box. If you think all real estate agents are the same then we should meet.

Areas of Expertise

I specialize in residential real estate in Ocala and surrounding Marion County Florida. I work with both buyers and sellers. As a buyers agent I try to educate my customers about both buying process and local market market conditions.

When listing a home for sale, I try to get the highest price possible in the least amount of time. I like to keep my sellers well informed by providing weekly reports. I work a lot with expired and withdrawn listings as I beleive that a properly priced and agressively marketed home will sell regardless of market conditions.

I'm very interested in technology, 80% of buyers start their search online. I'm well aware of the power of the internet. I started my first web site as the owner of another business way back in 1999. I currently own a custom built web site with loads of Ocala information and tons of images all of which is totally original and can't been found any where else.

In conjunction with my interest in technology is my desire to help people relocate to Ocala. I like to work with people from other areas of the country who would like to move to Ocala or the surrounding Marion County. Despite my love of the internet, it's just no replacement for a Realtor who knows the area and has access to a much more powerfull search like that provided here by Marion County Board of Realtors.

If you're buying or selling in the Ocala or Marion county area please give me a call. I'd love to be your Realtor.

About Ocala

Ocala Florida is best known for its beautiful horse farms. More thoroughbred horses are raised here in Ocala than any where else in the world. There's something in the soil that makes the grass perfect to graze these magnificent and extraordinarily expensive creatures. Of course not all the horses in Ocala are being bred to race. There are literally hundreds some small hobby farms all over Marion County.

Unlike most Florida cities, Ocala has a charming downtown. Downtown Ocala has a nice little town common, complete with a bandstand, beautiful mature live oak trees and park benches. All of which is surrounded by charming little shops and some very nice restaurants. Most towns and small cities in Florida all look a like. Ocala has a small town atmosphere that makes it unique.

Perhaps the best reason to move to Ocala is the price of real estate. Ocala has the second lowest median home price in the state of Florida, second only to Pensacola. Ocala has never been directly hit by a hurricane, making it a safer place to live with a lower cost for home owners insurance.

Ocala is a small city with a small town atmosphere. Located almost equidistant between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico you can be at the ocean in an hour. Orlando and it's international airport is a little over an hour away. Gainesville and the University of Florida is about 30 minutes. With all this to offer how could you want to relocate to any where else?
