Testimonials Our talent and experience IS IMPORTANT, but what’s really important is what our customers say! Rita Hansen “ I've worked with Rita Hansen of Counts Real Estate for the past 5 years. Every aspect of the my real estate transactions have been handled with great care, honesty, and professionalism. She's fully knowledgeable of the Bay Area real estate environment and is always just a phone call away to answer any question I might have.“  Regards, Paul Wormuth Keith Hodges Keith, Just a note to thank you for your help. As out of town investors we need local help & advise to guide us. When you were recommended to us we had no idea of the investment success you would enable us to achieve. You were our eyes and ears in Panama City. You located all three of our purchases. Two condos and a very hard waterfront lot. A few years later, when we desired to turn our investments into cash, you were able to sell all three properties in record time. We truly believe your expertise in the Panama City market was instrumental in  the success we enjoyed. Thanks Again,  Don & June Ford - Biloxi, MS
Testimonials Christopher Langille I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying our new home and how much we appreciate your help in finding the right place. You are the best!! I have been involved in buying/selling several homes but have never had anyone give us the service you gave us. First, the obvious preparation you did to find out exactly what we were looking for and having the properties ready for us to see was fantastic. Then, you went so far beyond the norm in things you did to help us get the house ready. Trying to handle everything from Baton Rouge would have been so difficult without your help. Who else would have volunteered to go meet the utility folks, to get a piece of mail we needed to intercept, to do so many other things that would have been impossible for us to do long distance. Thanks for a job beyond the call of duty. Pat and Buddy Baton Rouge –now Destin Thanks for the E-Mails and all the additional updates. We’ll standby until we hear from you again. Colleen and I are still excited about Lot 69, and hope it comes through at some point. We’re honored to be working with you. I really and truly appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put into this already, and look forward to hearing from you. Hopefully with good news ;-) Sincerely, Norm and Colleen Maryland soon to be Destin Jan Lintz My husband and I would like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication in the selling of our home. We had tried for several years off and on to sell and had the home in the hands of different real estate firms, but only you came through for us. Your handling of each detail from the listing to the finishing touches of the closing was monumental.  Your tireless efforts paid off in a time when the housing market is at an all time low. You not only met the requested selling price, but exceeded it by several thousand dollars. Now we are enjoying our new home thanks to you. We would consider it a pleasure to recommend you and Counts Real Estate Group to anyone in the future.  Thanks again, John and Patricia
Market Valuation # 1 Home Selling Mistake Pricing Incorrectly (OVER PRICING) Overpriced listings are used to attract customers to take to other properties. Over pricing cost you each month.  Mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, association dues, yard maintenance, depreciation, and in a declining market, loss of appraisal value. Your home should appraise for the contract value. Today banks are cautious and so are appraisers. They are using foreclosed properties as comps! Counts agents use the same method to value your home as the appraisers. It is our goal to get the highest value for your home.
