Sellers are Smarter. Buyers are More Savvy. CondoLeaf.com is You.
CondoLeaf.com, LLC is a boutique real estate brokerage firm specializing in the sale and purchase of luxury condominiums, townhomes and lofts. CondoLeaf.com is your local full-service condo specialists.
The next generation of buying and selling Tampa Bay condos is here. Why use us? Our main objective is to minimize listing costs for the Sellers and to provide Buyers with the most comprehensive luxury condo information online in Tampa Bay.
CondoLeaf.com is Realtor-friendly, Developer-friendly, FSBO-friendly and Customer-friendly to allow optimal results. Simply put, we are a hybrid of the traditional brokerages and discount brokerages. We combine better full-service and technology along with updated condo sales and listings, market news and pre-construction information on our website.
In 2005, National Association of Realtors® conducted a survey and indicated that about 77% of Buyers today do their own search via internet, compared to only about 2% back in 1995. The tide has obviously changed. CondoLeaf.com offers home buyers and sellers all of the services of a traditional brokerage, but we charge significantly less to represent the Seller while still offering market-rate commissions to the buyer's agent. We recommend having our Full-Service Premium, but have given the consumer other options to suit their needs. We provide maximum exposure on the MLS system, Realtor.com, internet search, professional brochures and flyers, marketing publication and exclusive sales. CondoLeaf.com believes it is time to turn over a new leaf in Tampa Bay on the sale and purchase of condos by focusing on the savvy consumer-driven market.
Whether you are moving out of a single-family home to purchase a condo or selling your condo to move to a single-family home, CondoLeaf.com can assist from start to finish. Through its affiliation with Schaaf & Vitorillo Realty, CondoLeaf.com and its REALTOR® agents provide a full range of residential and commercial brokerage services including single-family homes, vacant land and new development.

HOW IT WORKS FOR BUYERS
Condo Buyer Representation…at No Cost to You!
Looking for a Condo, Townhome or Loft in the Tampa Bay area?
An Important Decision: While it is possible to find and buy a condo without an agent, this is one of the largest purchases and most important decisions you will ever make. A condo may account for a third of your monthly spending and a large part of your assets. The condo purchase transaction will require making many important financial decisions, understanding complex issues and completing a lot of paperwork. So it is not only comforting but extremely efficient to have an expert help you cut through all the red tape.
Buyers & Buyer’s Agents: Buyers’ agents specialize in helping buyers! Buyers’ agents listen to what you want and then help you find your ideal condo. We can notify you the instant that a condo, meeting your requirements, comes on the market and we will make the appointment to get you in at the soonest possible moment. No more leaving voice-mails for agents who don’t bother to call you back. No more waiting for a Sunday Open House to see a condo. No more calling on a newspaper ad only to discover that someone already put in an offer.
CondoLeaf.com Buyer’s Agents are at no cost to you! We don’t get paid until you successfully buy your condo. We have a wide network of resources that we can share with you, helping you select inspectors and recommending service providers such as lenders, insurance agents, landscapers and contractors. Besides, in Florida, the seller pays the agents, so why wouldn’t you want someone working for you?
Knowledge is Gold: Often we know about properties that are not yet on the market. Because real estate is all we do (sometimes 24/7!), we’re the first to know of price reductions, motivated sellers, exclusive sales and other important news.
Your Own Personal Expert: Think of a buyers’ agent as your expert advocate. We will share our experience, represent your best interests during negotiations with sellers, and help you understand all the decisions you need to make. We will work tirelessly for you, and our goal is to make your transaction go as smoothly as possible.
At CondoLeaf.com, you will find the most condo information online for the Tampa Bay area. We embrace the convenience of technology without losing the personal touch. You’ll love the resources available on our website and the e-mail alerts that we send, but these will never replace the time we spend with you, serving as your personal guide through this exciting process.
