By Lisa Robinson (past seller and buyer)
With a history of record breaking sales and more than 10 million in closed Davie home sales in 2014 Teri continues to dominate the Davie real estate market. It’s no wonder that in my home, Teri Arbogast is considered the best realtor in Davie. The reviews are in, check out what buyer’s and seller’s are saying about Teri Arbogast and her team of experienced and dedicated professionals.
From the “kitchen table to the closing table” Teri manages and markets her listings like few others. Her use of high resolution professional photography, state of the art interactive websites, massive direct mailings and strong communication practices has made Teri a top listing realtor in the Davie area. Teri does not use a pre-fab listing presentation. When she sits down at your kitchen table, you can be assured the material you are presented with is uniquely hers; a testament to her creative and strong marketing skills. Teri’s proven pricing strategies often lead to multiple offers and record sales on her listings. Pricing a home accurately and correctly for the market can create an “in demand’ listing. Teri has years of experience pricing and selling Davie homes so you can be assured her opinion of value is based on her hard earned knowledge and skill.
Once the listing is signed, Teri goes to work to get your home marketed both locally and globally. Teri puts her “money where her mouth is” spending advertising dollars to market at the highest level. Your home will be presented with creative detail throughout the internet and with direct mail. The “wow factor” is an important part of any presentation, the best professional photographers will be hired to assure your home meets the highest mark. As a member of the Master Brokers Forum, Teri is in contact with most of the top realtors in Broward County. It is widely believed that the top 20 percent of the agents in Broward do 90% of the deals; networking with these agents is a huge factor to her success. “Agent accompanied” showings mean your home is presented in the best possible way. Teri believes that important features and community attributes need to be presented to each buyer and not left to a buyer’s agent that does not know the home extensively. This practice is an important component to getting top dollar and selling homes more quickly, especially in a competitive market.
At the time an offer is made, one can expect the contract to be thoroughly reviewed and explained personally by Teri. No detail is left unchecked. With 14 years of experience with the various board contracts, Teri knows how to analyze each one and look for loopholes and contingencies that may hinder the seller. Her strong negotiation skills are used in presenting comparable sales and communicating effectively with the buyer’s agent. This helps to get the best possible price for her listings and has often resulted in record breaking sales.
From the contract acceptance, there is continual monitoring of the timelines, contingencies and other important details that are needed to get to a smooth and easy closing for everyone. Communication with attorneys, appraisals, inspectors, surveyors and homeowner associations is paramount to a successful closing. The Teri Arbogast real estate team has a detailed file processing system in effect to be sure no stone is left unturned during the critical time from the contract to the closing table.
Meet with Teri personally and find out for yourself why so many people think Teri Arbogast is the best real estate agent in Davie. You won’t be disappointed.

Just when I was getting settled back into a sellers market….
This past month I noticed that the Davie real estate market is shifting. In the past couple of weeks I have listed several Davie homes for sale. 6 months ago these homes would have flown off the Davie real estate market in the first week. Now I am getting few show requests on the higher end homes and tons of showings in the 250-450 price range…but very few realistic offers. This is not to say that some of the listings are going quickly with multiple offers, it is still happening if a home is priced exactly right. Pricing a home correctly is key to getting top dollar in this changing market. Even these well priced homes, once under “as-is” contracts, have the Buyers looking for repair credits. Buyers are hesitant to come out of pocket if the property does not appraise. Because of the growing inventory of Davie real estate some buyers even seem willing to pull the contract and continue looking if the seller won’t budge on the price.
I have been a Davie Realtor for 14 years, I have seen the market go up (way up!) and I have seen it go down, (way down!) several times. With inventory picking up and interest rates about to rise, I think seller’s who have been on the fence about selling should get on the market now. on the other hand, I do believe that now is a great time to buy with a good supply of homes to choose from and interest rates at near record lows. No matter the market, Davie real estate is always a good choice.
Over the years I have sold 100’s of Davie homes. The excellent schools, parks and country charm make Davie a great place to call home.
I should know…I’m not only a top davie realtor, I am a 20 year Davie resident as well!
