What Is Meant When You Hear That Real Estate Is Local

They say that real estate is local, and when they do "they" are really right.

In the State of Florida, anybody with a valid real estate license can help you buy or sell a home in Tallahassee, but if you hire an agent from Tallahassee, you'll gain an edge when it comes time to sell and/or buy a home.

Real Estate Expertise

When you hear that real estate is local, it means that home values are relative to those of homes around them. That's why you might pay $2M for a relatively small apartment in New York City, and yet only spend $400K for a 3,000 square foot home in Tallahassee. These two cities have two very different markets, two completely different sets of buyers and sellers, thus one has no direct impact on the other.

Relative location is also the reason you can buy a townhouse on Hilaman Golf Course for $200K less than one in Golden Eagle Plantation. Real Estate values are hyper-local in real estate.

If you are planning to buy or sell a home in Tallahassee, you need a Tallahassee Realtor that is also hyper-local. Sure, you can work with anybody that you like, but how do you expect an outside agent to be able to negotiate on your behalf when they lack the local knowledge of those of us who've been around Tallahassee for a long time?
