Jody Steele, Advisor Real Estate For Your Life I am a member of the Menton & Ballou Group at Engel & Vӧlkers. Augustine, Florida with my husband John Steele. We love living in St.

We achieved over $300M in closed business and continue to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations! A little bit about me… I am originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico and currently reside in St. We have been married for 25 years, he is a recently retired Air Force Colonel with over 31 years in the military. We have also lived in Charleston, SC where both of our children were born. Augustine an

d feel lucky to have the benefits of a big city like Jacksonville so close by and appreciate the quaintness and historical significance of St. Augustine. My previous experience includes working for Hallmark Marketing as well as Pharmaceutical sales. My passion is helping people find a home that fits their lifestyle. We are the largest city in the US, in square miles, and it can be overwhelming trying to figure out where you want to call home. It starts with your lifestyle! Are you a golfer, do you enjoy the beach, is fishing your passion, or do you prefer a more urban lifestyle? All those things go into finding the right place at the right price for you and your family, and that is where I am here to help. Jacksonville and St. Augustine are home to many military families. I am part of a military family and love helping military families find their new homes or sell their current ones to move on to their next assignment. I have bought, sold, and built several houses through the years and I have always enjoyed the process. I look forward to making it a fun and easy experience for my customers.

Buyers don’t want fixer uppers, investors do and that’s the price you will get if you do nothing to prepare your home for market

Your seller is convinced buyers will "see past" the dirty carpet, the peeling wallpaper, and the kitchen that still has the original appliances.

They won't.

Because buyers aren't buying potential.

They're buying a feeling.

And right now? Your listing feels like work.

Here's what actually happens:

Buyer walks in. Sees the carpet.

Immediately starts calculating:

Okay, new flooring is $8k.
Paint is $3k.
That kitchen? Probably $40k.
New bathrooms? Another $25k.

They're not seeing potential.

They're seeing their savings account evaporating.

They're seeing their weekends at Home Depot for the next 18 months.

They're seeing one more thing they have to fix before they can actually enjoy their house.

And then they go to the next showing.

Where the floors are already done.
Where the paint is already fresh.
Where they can move in and just... live.

That house gets the offer.

Yours gets "we'll think about it."

Your seller says "but we're priced under market to account for the updates!"

Cool.

So you want full price minus $76k in renovations?

Because that's the math buyers are doing.

And they're not offering full price on a fixer when they can get move-in ready down the street.

You know what buyers see when they look at "potential"?

Delayed gratification
Permit headaches
Contractor no-shows
Budget overruns
Living in construction

They see work. Not potential.

So you've got two choices: Fix it and price it right.

Or price it like the work project it actually is.

Because "seeing the potential" is your seller's job when THEY bought it as a fixer.

It's not the next buyer's job.

Save this for the next listing appointment where they want to "test the market" at move-in ready pricing with 1987 finishes.
