HAPPY STR BUYERS AND SELLERS

(Sold 2 Vacation Rentals)
"We hired Keith to list and sell one of our vacation rentals in July. My husband and I have been in the vacation rental business for 8-years now, so we know the business well. Always keeping my eyes on the market, I had been following the Powers listings along the way. I am a REALTOR myself, but when it came time to sell one of our properties, we decided to hire Keith Powers. He has a good pulse on the market when it come to selling a vacation rental income property. He specialists in listing and marketing vacation rentals. I will hire Keith again when that time comes."

"After operating vacation homes for 7-years, we decided that we were ready to sell our three properties. We had reservations about selling because we did not want the transition to have a negative impact on already booked guests and we wanted to get fair value for the business we had built. We were referred to Keith Powers by a friend and from the first conversation, we were certain Keith was the right REALTOR for us. He had experience in selling vacation rentals, he was able to answer our concerns and he helped determine prices that we were pleased with. He brought us multiple offers on each of our properties within days of them being listed. Keith kept us informed throughout the process and made it easy for us despite the fact that we were selling multiple properties while living out of state. We have already recommended Keith to other and will continue to do so!"

"When we first got Keith's call, we were not planning on selling our vacation rental properties for a few more years. But his enthusiasm prompted us to take a look at his proposal to sell our two properties. We always assumed that we would just sell the houses and perhaps sell the furnishings separately. Keith showed us that we could sell both properties as ongoing businesses, which brought us higher prices. We were totally surprised by how fast our properties sold and very pleased at the prices they sold for. We recommended Keith to our friends and he was successful in selling their 3 vacation rental properties as well."

"Prior to selling, we were somewhat apprehensive that someone could sell the property 'as a business' with a price that would reflect the greater time and money invested in starting up the vacation rental. In addition, we wanted someone who would be familiar with the process of transferring a business as opposed to the conventional sale of an empty house. Keith is a true professional and after speaking with him, I was very confident that things would be done efficiently. Selling a vacation rental certainly has a different pace than a conventional house sale. Within days of making a decision to sell, we had a schedule for showings and within a few days of showings, we had several exceptionally strong offers. The business itself was minimally interrupted. I think this is due to the fact Keith has a strong network of prospective buyers and REALTORS for this sort of transaction and I would be surprised if there were many REALTORS that could facilitate this sell with such good results. In the end, I would highly recommend Keith Powers. He sold our vacation rental at a price higher than any REALTOR could obtain, as a standard sale, and the process was streamlined and smooth."

"Keith is a very proactive REALTOR and isn't afraid of taking on a challenge. We hadn't even considered selling our Vacation Rental property until Keith called and presented the opportunity to us. We refused twice, but in the end, his kind persistence won and we decided to sell with him. Happy we did!"

"When we decided to sell one of our Vacation Rentals, we contacted Powers Realty Group to handle the sale. We called them because they had just sold the highest priced property in Sherwood Village, the complex where our property was located. During our first meeting, Keith explained how to sell our rental property as a 'business' and how to fairly value it from an investor's perspective. After some consideration, we listed our property with them. Within two weeks, we received and accepted an offer over our asking price. Unfortunately, the offer fell out of escrow because the buyer was concerned about the HOA rules. After that, there were many showings, but no offers at the price we wanted. At that point, we asked Keith to stop showing our property for about a month. Then, Keith provided some coaching on what we could do to make our property more appealing. After a few minor changes, Keith started showing our property again. Within a couple of weeks, we accepted an offer for $10K more than our asking price. We really appreciated the tenacity that Keith showed during the process. We definitely plan to use him again when we decide to sell another one of our income properties."

"Keith helped us sell our vacation rental property. At first, it was very hard for us to let go of a property that we put so much work into developing, but Keith was very patient and helpful throughout the entire process. He walked us through every step, so there were no surprises. Keith was very informative. Every time we had a question, he was always there to take our calls and stayed one step ahead of us by anticipating the issues we would want to address. Keith knew how to market our property in a way that would bring investors interested in buying a fully operational vacation rental to our doorstep. His professionalism was exceptional. He took very good care of our property and handled all viewings as private showings. We would definitely recommend using Keith to anyone who want to quickly sell a vacation rental business."

"Like most people, we wanted to get the most money from our home. Keith understood that and provided his expertise and helped us achieve our financial goal in the sale of our home. We could not have done it without them. For us, the biggest surprise was how personable Keith is. His is obviously very successful at what he does for multiple reasons. He treated the sale of our home, of over 19-years, with respect and care. He understood it was difficult for us to move, leaving behind lots of great family memories. He was respectful of our schedule and never just popped in with a potential buyer. He understands the buyer and the seller. Our surprise came when our home sold in less than a month! We always felt as though he was truly interested in our goals and was very clear with information. We would absolutely recommend Keith to others! We could not have asked for a better experience. We have already shared our positive experience with others in hopes that they will seek out the help, professionalism and expertise of Keith Powers. We can't thank him enough."
