Walking homeowners through exactly how a first call with Jeffrey Funk works, when considering when a seller should list their property.

Blog Author: Renee Funk | Co-Founder The Funk Collection, Speaker, Trainer

How One Terra Verde Owner Found Clarity and Closed With Confidence

Blog Author: Jeffrey Funk | Co-Founder, The Funk Collection, Brokered by eXP Realty | ICON Agent

If you own a short-term rental near Disney World, you know the market feels different today.

Inventory is higher.

  • Should I sell now and preserve the equity I have built?
  • How do I make my home stand out from all the other Disney vacation rentals on the market?

You are not alone.
This Terra Verde sale is a…

A high-standard approach to serving Southwest Orlando & Windermere homeowners with clarity, curiosity, and proven professional commitment.

Blog Author: Renee Funk | Exactly What to Say Certified Guide, Speaker, Trainer

Being “better than your fee” is not marketing language. It is not a tagline. It is a professional standard.

In Southwest Orlando’s 2025 market, where Stellar MLS data reflects that 30 to 40 percent of listings fail to sell, the difference between an agent and a listing professional has never been clearer.

With Jeffrey Funk of The Funk Collection, Jeff’s failed listing rate in 2025 is 0%. ZERO...

Not because Jeff hopes listings will sell. Not because he accepts listings at any list price, and battles Sellers for hefty…

What Happens When The Wrong Agent Lists Your Home? (And How To Make sure It Doesn't Happen To You) 

In a market where 35% of listings fail to sell, The Funk Collection continues to deliver results for Central Florida homeowners with a clear listing strategy, proven marketing plan, and communication that repeatedly sell houses on a consistent basis.

For many homeowners, choosing their listing agent starts with a referral, a family member, a personal friend, a quick online search, or they decide to take it on themselves.

When a listing is placed in the wrong hands, the costs show…
