Want to sell your home fast as a short sale to avoid foreclosure?
As an investor and Realtor i can tell you that if you have multiple properties and are in pre-foreclosure you have got to get the homes listed by an agent for short sale. The banks will only work out your homestead properties and if you have multple properties that are behind on their mortgages the defaulting mortgages can put liens on your other properties preventing those from being short saled. I know this because it has happened to a close and dear friend of mine who got in on all the real estate action in 2005 and now sufferring tremendously because of it.

Cape Coral Foreclosures Q&A for home buyers.
If walls could talk and Realtors could complain what would you expect to hear now. I imagine it would be the endless days and hours of showing properties to buyer's that are always being out bidded on homes. Perhaps it would be the Chinese drywall issues, the city's tax assessments, the new utility expansions that were suppose to be haulted. The banks and Realtors are always sending emails to buyers calling out for higher and best offers on REO's and now Short Sales. Realtors are not all created equal and some are playing with fire holding out for higher offers or not even sending in offers that do not meet the criteria the seller's want. The Realtors job is much more complex and difficult and many are victims of foreclosure. Can you Imagine you are looking for great steals and deals and the Realtor beside you has not told you he or she was in foreclosure. Ouch!

Q. Just how many homes are in foreclosure?
A. Literally hundreds of foreclosures and short sale homes are currently for sale in our area. Now is your cha
nce to buy a foreclosure in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Sanibel Island, Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs,and Lehigh Acres way below market value.
Q. Why should I choose you to be my Realtor?
A. I can give you my experience as an investor, rehabber, and realtor. Let's go one step farther and I have the experience as an appraiser plus I have spent literally thousands of dollars investing in education and rehab programs.
Q. What should I expect from buying a foreclosure or short sale property?
A. When buying a foreclosure the wait for the bank can be from a few weeks to a month. The houses generally need landscaped and painted but that is typical. There is little room for negotiation of price because the banks have already foreclosed on the property.
When buying a short sale the wait is most likely alot longer but the houses are normally in good condition yet a little landscaping and paint is mostly necessary. The negotiation of price is better however not more than $10,000 less than the asking price. A CMA will help you determine your bidding price
Q. Can I buy a new home under $50,000 that i can move into right away?
A. Yes, but it is a tough fight right now because the investor's are here buying those properties and paying above market price.
Q. What do i need before i look at properties with a Realtor?
A. You need to be pre-approved for a mortgage or have proof of funds available that show you can pay cash for the house. You will also need to know that generally 1% of the sales price must be applied to the down payment when putting in an offer.
Q. Can I go look at through the windows and walk around the properties prior to calling a Realtor?
A. If you do that you can be charged with trespassing! Be Aware of that!
Q. Well how do i get started? Step By Step?
A. Follow this:
1. Get Pre-Approved or have Bank Statement Available!
