Ron is a Tough negotiator - passionate about his work! . Ron was the 3rd realtor we hired to sellOur beach condo in north Hutchinson Island. The other two were very experienced but unable to sell it. I will admit we had to come down considerably over the last 2 1/2 years. We started out at 425,000 but the condo market is in a state of flux because of all the assessments and HOA fees have skyrocketed so we kept coming down and we would rent it out during the season and take it off the market. This year Ron advised us to drop it to 299,900. Being that it was under 300,000 we were getting more traffic at the open houses, etc. however, my husband was very anxious to get it sold and we weren’t getting any offers so he called him one day and said what price do we need to put it at to sell it quickly and Ron said 270,000. Soon after especially with the marketing and advertising that they were doing, we got an offer for 250,000 thanks to Ron. He negotiated it and she came up to our counter offer of 260,000. He handled all the negotiation. We never had to get involved in any of it, which saved us a lot of decision-making and headaches. He composed the letter to the buyer telling her valid reasons why she should accept our counter offer of 260,000.Also, during the inspection, they found a minor thing that needed to be fixed and he hired one of his men and got it done quickly and for extremely reasonable price. That’s another important factor.Ron and Ellie themselves live on North Hutchinson Island and are very familiar with all the ins and outs of the HOA‘s with condos. They live in a condo and they live on the first floor & our condo was the first floor. He was able to point out the advantages of a first floor condo from firsthand experience. Plus, he is president of his own HOA, which gives him a lot of added knowledge.Ron is a hustler, he’s extremely passionate about what he does, he gives the best that he can for every customer,
