About us

Aggressive Buyer Representation, Seller Representation, and Short Sale Negotiation.

If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear.....you have come to the wrong place....we take our representation very seriously.

In today's real estate market environment, although equipped with a lot of facts and figures, buyers use us to interpret the facts and circumstances of each micro real estate market niche. There is no shortage of facts for the buying consumer to observe, however there is a lot more to working out a strategy of actually buying a property. We do this every day all day, everyday, today in 2011! No matter how much experience a buyer has, it is unlikely that they have a great deal of experience in buying property in the current market. Financing a purchase is totally different today than in the recent past…ask us about it and we will put you on track.

Working as a Realtor at Blackburn Investors Realty is a major time and effort commitment. We work on teams with team members always in touch to give the greatest customer service. Our Realtors all work from our office in Downtown St. Petersburg, Florida….not from their home. From Downtown, we cover the Tampa Bay Area.

The traditional role of Realtor has been to provide information for the buyer and to collect that information from the seller or the local Multiple Listing Service. Along with escorting buyers on tours of homes, buyer agents provided the critical information and persuasion for buyers to buy homes shown to them on these tours.

Thanks to the rise of consumerism, the internet and numerous anti-trust lawsuits by and for these consumers, all information is now free for the taking with or without a Realtor.

In 2012, buyers consult various internet services such as our site at www.BlackburnInvestors.com to do their own research, look at photographs, satellite views, pictures of the house, the street view in all directions as well as aerial views. All of the details of the property including past price history, current and past year tax rates, outstanding mortgages and a plethora of other data with the touch of a button. Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Yahoo, Trulia.com, along with many other web portals provide a wealth of information for the consumer, completely free as well. Free on-line County records provide a history of the property going back 10 years or more, aiding in a further view of property from another perspective.

Now that the consumer has information (perhaps information overload), Blackburn Investors Realty provides help in the process of sorting through what consumers already know. Our job is to help the buyer in pricing, purchase strategy, negotiation with the seller and others, financing, inspections and closing. We do this aggressively on behalf of our buyer clients. As the consumer becomes more and more empowered, their demand for excellence increases. Our response is..."Bring it on, we love it".
