Cape Coral Real Estate Listing – EXPIRED?!?

Cape Coral Real Estate, Cape Coral short sales, Fort Myers Real Estate, Fort Myers short sales, Sellers, SW Florida Real Estate
Did your listing agreement for your Cape Coral or Ft. Myers property expire last week? Do you still need help to sell your property?   I ask because today I received several phone calls & emails from Fort Myers & Cape Coral homeowners asking for help. For whatever reasons their house, condo or investment property didn’t sell. I checked in our MLS and in the last week 1,198 residential homes in our local MLS (multiple listing service) EXPIRED!   I spoke to one gentleman today who is going to need a short sale on his Ft. Myers house. After we ended our phone conversation I looked up his property. It just expired on Dec 31, 2008. It had been listed with another agent & real estate brokerage office.   This is…

Cape Coral Short Sales | Cape Coral short sale advice

Cape Coral Real Estate, Cape Coral short sales, Opinion, Sellers, SW Florida Real Estate
Cape Coral Real Estate - How Short Sales should work - our opinion Short Sales and How I Think They Should Be Handled   First of all I do not believe that any real estate agent should list a home as a short sale without having done some research first.     Research   You should have a preliminary title search done to determine if there is a second mortgage or any other liens on the property.

(Some banks require less/more documentation but this is a very ’standard’ list)   Obviously the following that you’d normally complete:   CMA -…

Cape Coral Spreader Canal

Buyers, Cape Coral Real Estate, Opinion, Sellers, SW Florida Real Estate
I live across the street from what is known as the Spreader Canal in Cape Coral. It is a 200 foot wide canal along most of the west coast of Cape Coral. Beyond this spreader canal is a preserve area of mostly mangroves. Tonight the sunset was so pretty I grabbed my camera and snapped some shots.   This is a photo of my next door neighbor's Palm Trees. You cannot see the water in this photo but it is just below.   Here is the water view, just to the south of the palm trees.   And here is a view down the intersection of a canal with the larger, spreader canal   So, that's my front yard.... What do you see in your front or back yards? Copyright 2008…
