Spring 2009 Update!

Hello all!
I know this will sound like an excuse, but we have not updated for a long time because we could not find the right information to log in!!
OK, that is solved!
Now, what is going on in Naples real estate? Short sales and bank owned properties have been selling VERY well since November of 2008!! See the chart on our home page at http://www.livingnaples.com/!
We have done more business in the past 6 months than we did in 2007 and the first 10 months in 2008 combined!! There are great deals with prices that we have not seen since 1998 to 2002!
Cash buyers are here!! They are doing 50-60% of the sales!
There are some great loans also. We have been doing FHA with 3.5% down and USDA with 0% down!
We have also listed and sold a LOT of pre-foreclosure homes recently. Banks are working with us much more now to get them sold at reasonable prices. If you are have problems paying your mortgage, we can help! There are mortgage modifications to help you keep your home, and short sales where we negotiate with your bank to be able to sell the home at the market price.
Either of these are much better than foreclosure which can stay on your credit for 7-10 years.
Call or email me for information or help with your situation!

Whats new in Naples Real Estate?

Whats new in Naples Real Estate? A Lot!
My family and I just got back from a one month Europe trip. Of course we were there as a vacation and to see family, but as an investor, I am always looking for opportunities! I learned a lot about real estate investing in Sweden and Paris. Also learned about the differences in currencies, investing, and rental properties. I had a lot of interest in Florida real estate over there. People are interested in buying at the bottom of the market and in currencies that are worth 60-80% more than they were a couple of years ago! I have a lot of new people to put into my client database as interested buyers.
Back here in Naples, my associates have been busy handling my properties and showings are brisk. I have several short sales ready to close this month. There are some GREAT deals here and people are buying! I think this summer into fall will be one of the best times to catch close to the bottom of the market. Of course many things have happened in the banking and government sectors. I think loans will become eaisier to get as FHA and the government step in with low cost, low down payment loans!
We are very successful in helping people sell their homes that have little or no equity. We are able to negotiate with the bank and sell the property at very good prices!
We work with buyers all the time and find great properties at prices from many years ago!
Call or email us with your situation or needs. We have a lot of ideas and solutions!

Pre-Foreclosures and short sales, oh my!

Well, as you know people are falling behind in their mortgages and are causing a huge surge in pre-foreclosures, short sales, and bank owned properties! These can be trying times. BUT, we have been working with homeowners of all types and have been very successful at avoiding foreclosures! We have a great system of negotiating with the banks to be able to sell properties at HUGE discounts. This allows us to sell the property at a great price, and gets the homeowner out of the foreclosure situation and avoid a foreclosure on their credit report. We have a unique method that VERY FEW are using that moves the process forward fast!
We have ramped up our service to be able to handle a LOT of business. We can currently help in ALL of Florida and American Properties FL can help in the other 49 states!
We are now working with American Properties FL - www.AmericanPropertiesFL.com. (They also offer $300-$1000 fee to ANYONE for refering a customer that they help!!)
We handle the listing and selling of the properties. Call us with your details and we will let you know if we can help. Most services are free!

MLS Self Serve Searching

We have a great MLS (multiple Listing service) service on our website!
See the first two links in the middle of the page at http://www.livingnaples.com/.
One for the Ft. Myers area and one for the Naples area. The service gives you basic information on each property. Our MLS rules only allow this much to be shown. Please email me the properties you are interested in and request full information on them. Also ask any questions you have. We will get back to you via email with everything you need!

April Update

Well.. lots going on here! We are very busy with short sales and working with buyers. We get MANY emails and calls per day from buyers all over the world! EVERYONE is looking for a great deal. Luck for everyone, there are lots of them! the pre-foreclosures have really pressured the regular sellers to lower their prices so that we are showing a mix of regular and pre-foreclosure properties.
We continue to refine our short sale techniques. We have learned a lot on how to deal with sellers, banks, and buyers. We have been successful in many types of deals including lease/purchases to allow the buyer to move in and lease while we work with the bank to get their purchase offer accepted. We currently have over 30 properties available and of course we show ALL properties in the area and offer our expert negotiating skills to our clients.
Mortgages are a challenge, but we are getting them done. Government programs help many with down payment assistance. One client just received a 15% down payment from the county with NO payments and NO interest! It must be paid back only when they sell!!
We found enough time to take some time off and head for Orlando and Disney World with our 2 kids. As always, we had a great time. Their favorite ride for the last year or so.....Buzz Lightyear!
We are looking forward to some overseas travel this summer! We'll be meeting some people to discuss real estate and visiting family!
Back to Florida...
Look at our new chart on our home page at http://www.livingnaples.com/. I think it shows the "turnaround" in home sales. Call or email me today! I am glad to help!
