People Before Property
With vast experience working with Jacksonville builders, your Round Table pros are well versed in new trends in home construction from plan layout to energy efficiency, from costs to build to value of customizations. The Round Table team isn't just focused on the finishing touches, like granite counters or the flooring tile, but the way the home was built, from the insulation to the drainage, from the rounded corner bead to the cost of living in the home. When you choose Round Table Realty, you get the peace of mind that comes with having an expert by your side.
While most Real Estate Brokerages and Agents practice Transaction Brokerage, Round Table Agents are encouraged to be Single Agents. This means that clients get Loyalty, Obedience, Full Confidentiality and Full Disclosure. Most people are shocked to find out that they're are not getting these valuable aspects from their Realtor and for no additional fees. Typically its because their Realtor doesn't even know about these things... because they haven't been trained to be exclusive agents of their own clients versus referees that simply push paper.
Buyer's Representation
For home buyers, the marketplace is truly overwhelming right now. You need a sharp team of skilled real estate professionals to dial in on what you want. The Round Table's experts focus on what you are saying, and zero in on the homes that will make you happy for years to come. Your goals guide us, not the other way around.
As your Buyer's Representative, we can make the process of house hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself. We can help you get financing, guide you to local neighborhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We'll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones. Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then we'll negotiate on your behalf with the seller to make sure you get the most favorable terms.
It's our job and duty to look after your best interests, and we will do so at no cost to you. The bare minimum Real Estate Agent should follow the license requirements:
- (a) Dealing honestly and fairly;
- (b) Accounting for all funds;
- (c) Using skill, care, and diligence in the transaction;
- (d) Disclosing all known facts that materially affect the value of residential real property and are not readily observable to the buyer;
- (e) Presenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless a party has previously directed the licensee otherwise in writing;
- (f) Limited confidentiality, unless waived in writing by a party. This limited confidentiality will prevent disclosure that the seller will accept a price less than the asking or listed price, that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer, of the motivation of any party for selling or buying property, that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered, or of any other information requested by a party to remain confidential; and
- (g) Any additional duties that are mutually agreed to with a party.
...but we all know that that isn't what it takes to do a good job; it takes more than just that. See the difference between a Round Table agent and one you'll be assigned at one of the big corporate boxes is that we don't rush you to a purchase, you drive the train, not the other way around. We won't claim to know more than you do about what you need. We're here to help.

Seller's Representation
No other Jacksonville real estate team can offer you a more well rounded selling service plan. For home sellers, we offer an expertise that can only be found by using an experienced team of professionally trained sales agents to market, guide, and advise you. The Round Table possesses every facet needed to sell a home in this market without compromising your goals. You need a true negotiator on your side and, after our many years of working for the home builders, you'll get no better team than that of the Round Table.
Within our team we have professional Real Estate photographers who spend the time it takes to truly expose your home the way it needs to be showcased in this day and age of couch shoppping. See, the person who buys your home will likely see it from their couch first on the internet. If the photography is bad you'll have less showings, less chances at an offer and it'll cost you in the long run. With the Table, its free. Of course, if the site shrinks your pictures, your beautiful pictures, then it's all for naught. At our site, which receives almost 40,000 pageviews per month, your pictures blow up to full size AND full resolution thus maximizing your opportunities and in essence the site sells your home to the people while they are on their couch.
Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There's advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of seasoned professionals. We have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage. At weekly Round Tables, each agent's marketing campaigns are discussed for effectiveness, pricing, and also to exchange innovative ideas to keep your home on the forefront of the marketplace.
First, we'll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we'll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes that will help draw buyers in. We'll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS listings. We will even showcase your home as part of our site's Featured Listings that scroll across the top of the page.
We were the first site in North Florida to feature Full Resolution, Full-size photography of your home, framing the absolute best impression of your home thus bringing in the highest possible offers.
When it comes to negotiating a purchase offer, we'll make sure that you get the best price the market will allow. We'll help you understand contract contingencies and details of the closing process, in addition to handling all the paperwork for you. Essentially, we're here to represent you throughout the entire selling process, and to make sure that your real estate transaction is a positive and profitable experience
