The Times...They are a Changing!

Welcome to my Blog. This is my first posting. Here I will keep you updated with regards to the mood of the local real estate market. Please feel free to ask questions and post comments. The Blog will be updated weekly and will include insightful news that readers will find helpful.

I guess if things get inexpensive enough they will start to draw attention. I am a Realtor in Naples and I have not been this busy in 3 years! Sure, we still have our tire kickers but people are definitely putting pen to paper. The truth is the people I am meeting are sharp and savvy. They are not just buying things they like. They are buying things they like and getting great deals.

It's funny...everyone agrees that in 10 years this market will thrive. They all want to buy the bottom. This is what I try to convey. Pay attention this is very important;

Real Estate ( especially the market we are in) does not trade like a stock. You do not negotiate with the trend of the market. You negotiate with owners and lenders. There are many short sales and bank owned properties. Additionally, there is a point where owners just throw their hands in the air. They don't want to see another mortgage, tax, HOA, utility, or any other bill. They want out. These are the sellers I am dealing with. This is not all sellers. In fact, it is very few. However, they are out there. I find them. Visit my Top Picks Page.

Call or email me. Let's start a dialogue and a relationship. I am your Naples Real Estate Advocate.
