Our Marketing Plan

We have sold over $500M in real estate. Listing your home requires specific steps and effort to procure the highest offer.  Seawind Realty provides expertise with proven results. We have a combined 40 years experience in the Palm Beaches.  Selling a property in today's marketing environment requires a clear understanding of not only what buyers are looking for, but the knowledge and expertise on how to drive prospective buyers to your home.

The Right Price

Our market analysis takes into account comparable sales as they relate to your home.  Understanding how value is perceived by buyers and having the ability to communicate intrinsic value that may not reflect in a standard appraisal is paramount to the negotiating process. Do NOT get caught up in online home valuations and estimations of future values. These programs driven by Zillow, Trulia and other third party marketing companies are proven to be unreliable and are more gimmick than accurate assessment.

The Right Exposure & Internet Marketing

In marketing your home today, it is imperative to showcase your home with the proper improvements, staging and photography.  How you present your home visually on the internet and in print can make all the difference in driving interest. We advertise in print locally to over 700K households and our web presence is state of the art.  We understand and excel at digitally marketing your home.

Contract & Negotiation

To procure the right buyer a broker must understand every aspect of the selling process.  Knowledge of contracts, disclosure, financing, appraisal, and agency are just a few of the many layers to a successful closing.  We at Seawind Realty will take you every step of the way with knowledge and expertise. You can be confident your needs will always be our first priority. 

Buyers' Representation

As a buyer, the world of real estate is ever expanding in the age of technology.  Buyers have many resources in which to research their home purchase.  However, the old adage will never change:  REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL.  Searching on line only gets you so far…especially if you are searching from out of state and are unfamiliar with the area.  Working with a knowledgeable local agent can save you time, money and confusion.  Seawind Realty’s website provides a great first step in your home search.

 Remember, listing agents represent the seller.  Many buyers mistakenly believe working directly with the seller’s agent will save them money. This just is not the case.  Seller’s contract with the listing agent and agree to the commission BEFORE the home is marketed.  Additionally, it is easier for a listing agent to present an aggressive offer presented by a buyer’s agent.  Each side has fair and equitable representation.  

 Engaging the expertise and buyer’s representation of a local broker should be your first priority in your search.  The following are benefits of using Buyer’s Agent:

•    Establish your criteria  of “must haves” and “second wishes”
•    Properly educate you on what your budget will afford you
•    Analyze your financing options and make recommendations of mortgage brokers
•    Keep you up to the minute on homes that meet your needs
•    Once a property is identified – evaluate comparables and establish an offer price
•    Negotiate on your behalf to secure the purchase and achieve a meeting of the minds
•    Work with you through the inspection process
•    Help you identify third party servicers
•    Keep the entire process on track and compliant of the timelines of the contract
•    Reduce the stress of home buying and give you confidence in your successful purchase

  

What our clients have to say about us…

Testimonial

After owning three homes, dealing with Sarah Bonin was the most pleasant experience we've ever had with a realtor. Besides being extremely experienced, her patience with us was amazing. The first home she showed us answered all our requirements but being a shopper I wanted to be completely sure of location, etc. Sarah answered every question without hesitation and after wasting a great deal of her time we decided on the first house. Still getting settled but it's become more and more exactly what we wanted. Our recommendation for Sea Wind Reality is absolutely 5 stars!!!

Sarah assisted me in finding a perfect home in Jupiter, I had been looking for sometime and was unsure about the local market. She was very knowledgeable about value and the benefit of improvements. She negotiated a great purchase price and walked me through every step including finding a terrific mortgage broker. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to purchase or sell.

Sarah:  We greatly appreciate all the assistance you provided us in the purchase of our new condo in Jupiter.  Your attention to detail as we moved through the purchase/closing process, and your desire to ensure all our questions were answered, significantly reduced the anxiety associated with a major purchase of this kind. We are very excited about enjoying all that Jupiter has to offer and will definitely recommend you to any family members or friends who may be looking to move to Southeast Florida. Thank you, John and Carol V.”

As our agent, Sarah worked with us for over a year in finding the right property.  After many offers we finally found our perfect home.  Sarah listed our current home and had it under contract in 5 days. She convinced us to take a little less on the selling side and gain it on the buying side.  We did exactly that and according to the appraisal on our new home, she negotiated a purchase price of our new home that was $40K under the lender appraisal.  We were very pleased and grateful to her. 

 Throughout this very emotional process, Sarah provided a “never give up attitude”.  She was immediately responsive to every request, concern and question we asked.  She was professional, knowledgeable and thorough.  I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a broker that truly puts their client’s interest and goals above all else.

Sarah Bonin has walked us through two purchases and one sale over the past 7 years. The buying and selling of real estate can be very frustrating and challenging especially when the consumer, my wife and I, had no idea of the whirlwind of activity it turns into. Sarah was right there for us. She ALWAYS responded to our phone calls and messages, and worked well into the night hours to negotiate our wishes and concerns. Sarah really listened when we shared our desires for location as well as the community we wanted to live in. This is the most important component, in our humble opinion, that results in happy customers - the ability to listen and make it happen. Oh, and did I mention that Sarah is a very knowledgeable and competent broker? Well, she is! We are now happily settled in our awesome Tequesta home. As my wife and I sit in our living room, we look at each other in disbelief that we now own the home of our dreams! Thank you Sarah and Seawind Realty for making ALL this possible.

You are the greatest! 

We met you accidentally when we were preparing to leave Florida last spring as we were looking for a Florida condo. Not only did you keep in touch with us all the way through last summer and into the fall but made recommendations before we were even back in town. You knew what we wanted before we did.

Through your high tech capabilities you supplied us with visuals and comparables in preparation for our return. You zeroed in on exactly what we wanted and didn’t waste our time. That qualifies you to be the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with. But…. 

When we finally selected a property, you really put on your gloves, fought for the price we wanted, fought for the inclusions we needed, and held our hands through a sticky negotiation and the 1031 exchange facilitator right up to settlement Your ethics never bent, your smile never left (except once). We are forever grateful to you for making our winter home dreams come true. 

Many, many thanks Sarah

Sarah, we would like to express our thanks for helping us finding the condo of our dream. Your professional services have made all the difference from other agencies we had contacted at the same period. Since the first contact, we found that you were different. You respected our criteria’s in the search of our new home and you tried as much as possible to understand and respond to our needs.

When we made our first condo visits with you, we are impressed to find out how knowledgeable you were of all the condos you had listed for us. We had rarely met an agent who was as prepared and informed as you were. You master your field of expertise and you have a unique sensitivity to answer your clients’ requests. For every question we had, you had the answer. When we started to make our first offer, you guided us and you were a great negotiator in the whole process.  We felt all the way that you invested in making us happy and not to make a fast commission. It is on account of you, of your exceptional skills as an agent and as a person that we now own the condo of our dream.
