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!
