Anthony, it's Giovanni Marino. No pressure at all since you're not rushing — but if you send me a few photos of #3203, I'll pull what similar units at 15701 Collins have actually sold for and show you where yours would likely land. You show me the home, I bring the receipts.
Anthony Nucci
15701 Collins Ave #3203, North Miami Beach, FL 33160
Anthony Nucci owns a move-in-ready condo at 15701 Collins Ave #3203, North Miami Beach, thinking about a next-chapter move (rent/relocate) but in no rush — 6-12 months out. He's anchored on a $500K guess and wants a fast, clean sale ("sold in a week") but is cold on timeline and worried about repairs/staging, fees, and whether now's even right.
Steer everything to thisGetting real numbers on what units like his are actually landing at, so his $500K guess is grounded before he decides if now is the right time.
Start here
Anthony, since you said the place is basically move-in ready, that actually works in your favor on prep time and cost. I can walk it with you whenever, just to confirm there's nothing worth fixing before it hits the market — no obligation.
Anthony, totally fair to not be sure if now's the right time. Why don't we just get the real numbers in front of you first — what's actually selling for at Collins Ave right now — and then you can decide on timing with facts instead of guessing.
Do this for them
- Pull what comparable units at 15701 Collins Ave and nearby buildings have actually sold for, and show where #3203 would likely land against his $500K number.
- Walk the unit in person for a short, honest prep list — likely minimal since he says it's move-in ready.
- Explain how showings would run entirely on his schedule/terms, since he's 6-12 months out and not in a rush.
When to ask for the appointment
- He sends photos or details unprompted
- He asks what his place could actually sell for
- He starts talking about where he'd move to
Anthony, want me to just pull the numbers for #3203 now so you've got them whenever you're ready to move — no commitment, just information?
Don't push for a walkthrough or listing talk yet — first just get the comps in front of him based on photos/details, since he's cold and 6-12 months out.
Worth asking
- Is the $500K number something you landed on yourself, or based on anything specific?
- When you say 'next chapter' — is renting or relocating already lined up, or still open?
- Would seeing real comps change your mind on timing, or are you set on waiting regardless?
What they will push back on
Agree, no rush — frame this as just getting real numbers now so he's not guessing later. "You don't have to move on it, just don't want you deciding off a guess when the real number's easy to get."
Point back to his own words — he said it's move-in ready. Offer the walk as confirmation, not a project list.
Don't invent numbers — just note that seeing what similar units actually sold for (after fees) is the only way to know if it even pencils out, which is step one before worrying about cost.
If they are not ready yet
Low-pressure, spaced-out check-ins — nothing salesy. Send him real market movement at Collins Ave every month or two (an actual sold comp if one comes in for his building/area) so when he's ready, Giovanni's already the one with the receipts.
