Dale Sorensen Real Estate Inks Exclusive Deal

Dale Sorensen Real Estate (DSRE) is pleased to announce the company has signed an exclusive multi-year sponsorship with the Vero Beach High School Fighting Indians football team’s Booster Club. The deal, inked just last week, will bring two great home teams together on the field.

“We are extremely excited to form this partnership, bringing two of Vero Beach’s winningest teams, Vero Beach High School Fighting Indians, and Dale Sorensen Real Estate, working together towards one common goal,” said Dale Sorensen, Jr., Managing Partner for DSRE. “We truly believe that supporting the youth in our community is lending support to our community’s future. These kids work really hard on the football field, and in the classroom; we want them to know we are behind them all the way in their efforts to be the best they can be.”

The sponsorship came about after DSRE sales agent Dennis Miller, who is a Fighting Indians parent and a member of the Booster Club, learned about the sponsorship opportunity and brought it to Sorensen, Jr.’s attention. “I really just saw a need at the school that needed to be fulfilled,” said Miller. “And I know how philanthropic DSRE is, and how much they love to support kids in our community, so it made sense and seemed beneficial to both organizations to collaborate. I think everyone will be really pleased with the results of this partnership.”

The Dale Sorensen Real Estate logo will be featured on the North side of the scoreboard at the newly renovated Citrus Bowl at Vero Beach High School. They will also be running commercials, produced by the student graphics class at the school, on the Jumbotron. In addition, the company will have the opportunity to hand out branded items at the football games when season begins in the fall. DSRE’s logo will also be included on the Tervis Tumblers handed out at the booster cub’s annual golf tournament.

Nick Churton of the DSRE London office comments on the international real estate market and offers some encouraging words for sellers in North America

Welcome to 2016 and a new era in international real estate. It promises to be an eventful- packed year.

Nick Churton, Managing Director of Mayfair International Realty

Despite political union, Europe remains a stark continent of huge contrast – north and south, left and right, east and west. The relative wealth and power of the northern nations seem at odds with the hardship and austerity currently experienced by those in the south. It seems you can have a warm climate or a warm economy but not both. The impact of middle-eastern turmoil, the resulting migration of millions of people and terrorist atrocities in cities such as Paris are affecting real estate buying decisions across mainland Europe in a way not seen since the 2008 credit crisis. In the UK – which is readying itself for a referendum later this year to determine if it stays in or heads out of the European Union forever – has also imposed higher real estate taxation making investment less attractive to buyers from home and abroad and adding to the malaise. Nevertheless house prices in the UK have risen ten per cent over 2015, mainly due to low inventory.

With the economic slowdown particularly in China and South America, and the slump in worldwide oil prices the appetite for prime city-centre property has been blunted in many places globally for the time being at least.
There is plenty of worrying news to concern international real estate buyers. But in any financial cycle there is usually at least one world region which offers investors a safe and attractive place to live and to enjoy the benefits of a secure culture. Right now that is the US. With the economy there steadily improving and pockets of exciting opportunity across the nation, not to mention many areas of warmth in climate and welcome, the US offers real estate buyers the safe haven they crave. No market likes uncertainty and the upcoming general election in the US later this year provides plenty of scope for some of that. This will naturally intrigue overseas observers who no doubt will have concerns. But despite this North America still provides many exciting opportunities. From a lengthening list of key city investment locations headed by New York to the foremost leisure and vacation areas the US and Canada should once again be the country of real estate opportunity in 2016.

Dale Sorensen Real Estate’s London Office Visits Florida

Dale Sorensen Real Estate (DSRE) recently flew in their London team to brief agents on the international market. In a hectic round of meetings, presentations and visits to key listings, Nick Churton and Annette Reeve, who head up DSRE’s London office, made sure that agents, management staff and sellers were brought up to date with exciting opportunities.

Their message was a very encouraging one for Florida. Nick Churton explained that the international real estate market is currently reeling from economic, social and political change. “But ‘it’s an ill wind that blows nobody good’ and we currently assess that Florida is very much coming to the fore as a global warm-climate destination for buyers”, Churton explained. “We see the mood changing. Countries like China and Brazil, that in recent years have been a good source of buyers, are experiencing economic difficulties. In Europe the social and political climate is challenging. Northern Europeans who traditionally looked to France, Spain, Portugal and Greece for their vacation/investment homes are now understandably more reticent. And the market in North Africa the Near East has taken a huge knock. So, where would one look today for a beautiful home in a warm climate and stable, thriving and welcoming democracy? The simple answer is Florida”.

Churton and Reeve have each been in residential real estate for over thirty-five years and have been working with Dale Sorensen Real Estate for over 10 years. DSRE Managing Partner Dale Sorensen Jr. says, “Having our own team in London is very important to us. London has such a significant influence internationally in finance, law, the arts and, of course, real estate. London is our bridge to Europe and beyond and our London team – an integral part of the Dale Sorensen Real Estate family – ensures that our message reaches out across the globe.

Reeve added, “There is nothing quite like coming to the US and meeting directly with agents and clients to put them fully in the international picture. It is also important for us to have firsthand knowledge of the market in Vero Beach, as it is so much easier for us to talk to buyers from wherever they are in the world when we have direct product and area experience. It is just going those extra thousands of miles for clients that make all the difference”.

Dale Sorensen Real Estate was founded in 1978 with the goal of providing the highest-quality services to both buyers and sellers. The company’s profile has seen greater visibility, helping it become the top luxury real estate firm in Vero Beach, Fla. An award-winning, family-owned and managed company, Dale Sorensen Real Estate has earned exclusive affiliations with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International.

Dale Sorensen Real Estate Celebrates 5 Year Anniversary in Downtown Vero Beach

VERO BEACH, Fla. – Oct. 1, 2015 – PRLog — With a lot of research and a leap of faith, Dale Sorensen Real Estate opened the doors to its first mainland office just 5 years ago. With 42 agents and $575,801,760 dollars in closings at the downtown office, the company is reaping the rewards of that first successful expansion.

Dale Sorensen Real Estate opened an office in downtown Vero Beach in 2011, taking over a prominent corner of 14^th Avenue and 20^th Street. They renovated and retrofitted the old building, giving it the fresh and elegant DSRE look and feel. Now, the building is thriving and full of energy as sales agents, staff and customers flow in and out, giving the old structure new life and contributing to the revitalization of Historic Downtown Vero Beach.

“When we decided to open in downtown Vero Beach, we really didn’t know what to expect,” said Dale Sorensen, Jr., Managing Partner of DSRE. “We had done our research and felt it was the perfect move for our real estate firm, but this success has gone beyond even our most optimistic projections. I have to congratulate and give credit to Scott Reynolds, Bobbie Holt, Sam Robbins and the rest of the staff and sales agents for their hard work, determination, team work and spirit, all of which has made this success possible.”

Previous to the opening of the downtown office, the 38 year old family owned business had operated out of 2 offices on Vero Beach’s Barrier Island. “We realized that the mainland real estate market was being under served and we wanted to bring the same level of customer service and marketing to this part of the County,” said Scott Reynolds, Director of Development for DSRE. “The best and most efficient way of doing that was to open an office west of the Intracoastal Waterway. Opening in Historic Downtown was easily the best place due to its central location and its easy access to just about anywhere in the County.”

Scott Reynolds, Mr. Dale Sorensen, Sr., Bobbie Holt and Dale Sorensen, Jr.

The downtown office is located at 1961 14^th Avenue, Vero Beach, FL.
