Since becoming Certified Short Sale Professionals in Jacksonville, Florida we’ve learned a lot, especially when it comes to pricing a short sale. This requirement can be the most difficult and time consuming stage of the process. When it comes to pricing a Short Sale there's a different school of thought. We have studied the process of pricing a property extremely low in order to get multiple offers in hopes that the bank approves one of them or the buyer is willing to "bump up" in price in order to satisfy the lender. Our research has clearly shown that this waste too much time (of the selling agent and buyer's) which has contributed to the negative reputation of short sale agents.
This is why we need to do the numbers right and be realistic when choosing to help a seller with a Short Sale. Short Sales aren't always STEALS!!! If a property is listed super low, then ask questions because it could be an offer trap!!!!
"If the property is priced right, the seller is cooperative and accommodating, getting an offer shouldn't be too difficult." We’ve also learned how to properly present any offers to the bank or lenders involved in the sale in order to lessen response times.
Here are a few of our Short Sale properties. If these don’t suit you we have many others.

Jacksonville real estate sales activity for Watermill
Watermill 4th quarter 2008 real estate report 
Home sales in Watermill remain slow but homes that represent the best values are still selling. Correct pricing, proper conditioning and aggressive advertising make up the 3 most important factors in getting homes sold in todays market.
Buyers should be taking advantage of the best buyers market in years. Low interest rates of 4.5% to 5%, low home prices and high inventory levels equate to some fantastic deals.....and the timing may never be as good as now. Buy low and sell high is the formula for success. Don't wait until prices and interest rates start back on an upward trend before buying.
Currently in Watermill there are 47 active listings.
In the last 3 months 11 homes have SOLD:
Highest price $226,000 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms 2274 square feet

Mike Jones, AKA Jacksonville's Voice of Real Estate and former host of The Real Estate Today Show is a Jacksonville native and would like everyone, especially those from up north to know he has never experienced a full on hurricane. This seems to be a familair topic of discussion when he meets customers from out of state. Another topic folks are concerned with is alligators, kinda like squirrels in these parts.......hurricanes and alligators are synonymous with Florida and he doesn't worry much about hurricanes and advises not feeding the alligators. You'll be fine.
Born and raised in Jacksonville, Mike has enjoyed the Florida sunshine for all of his 40 plus years except for the 6 years he spent in the United States Navy. As any Aviation Ordnanceman, he's proud to be called an AO, Ord'y or Red Shirt. Once an AO...always an AO! He spent his first 4 years of service attached to VA-27, one of the last A-7 squadrons in the tropical paradise of Lemoore California (if you've ever been to Lemoore you'll know this is not the case). He also enjoyed life on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson for 2 western Pacific cruises (West Pac) and anytime you want to sip on a cold one and swap Navy stories....he will gladly oblige.
Cindy Jones, the prettier of The Jones Group is a transplant from Nashville, Tennessee via St Petersburg, Florida and a few other places. She landed in Jacksonville soon after her 6 year hitch in the United States Army. A gun tote'n, scud missile dodg'in veteran of Desert Storm she is surely a force to be reckoned with, although you would never guess it by looking at her. She hates snakes, bugs and lizards...Florida provides plenty of these too! However she loves the warm sunshine and helping good people with their real estate needs.
Together they enjoy keeping fit, riding Mikes Harley Davidson Road King, making friends, spending time at the beach and helping people buy and sell Jacksonville and Orange Park Real estate.
