Well, we think this is a stretch to reality. Unfortunately, this is a third party website that manually updates listings but is not the "REAL" MLS as you might believe. This is also true for zillow.com, realtor.com, etc. Only licensed Realtors(c) have access to the MLS and it automatically updates every three hours. We would be happy to work with you and and provide accurate custom search results but there is nothing even remotely close to the price of you saw. http://www.naplesrealestateguys.com/... more

Sounds like your realtor has never read TILA, but chill out, it doesn’t matter. You can’t make the buyer do anything even if it is in writing someplace. My guess is the buyer’s loan is not clear-to-close. If I am right the buyer isn’t procrastinating by choice, it isn’t a matter of when, it is a matter of they can’t. They can’t close until their loan is CTC.
If my guess is correct, adding pressure to the situation only increases the possibility of it not closing at all. If you were the buyer what would you do?

I don't know the terms of your contract, but if the closing date has passed without an extension Amendment you can possible get out ot the contract. However, ask the attorney handling your side of the closing and tell your agent you want to talk with his/her broker. If you do not have a buyer in the wings to replace your current buyer, you may want to talk to your buyer's lender and see if you can get a 'feel' for time to closing. Remember government backed financing does not hold tight to closing dates...closing occurs whenever the work is completed.... KathyBC 800-448-3411 ext 601... more

I would suggest you work with a qualified Realtor that has extensive short sale experience. They can provide a fair market analysis for the property and information on the short sale process. Banks evaluate the price they can sell for as a distress sale in a given time on market in evaluation of acceptance of a short sale price.
I have a certiified Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource designation from the National Association of Realtors and would be happy to work with you if you do not already have a qualified Realtor.... more

Dear LJ,
Not sure about things in Naples but overall the Florida real estate market is red hot and I am sure things are the same over in Collier County. Below is a blog that I posted on Trulia a few days ago showing just HOW strong things are. A lot has to depend on the overall economy and where inflation might take us but those waiting on the shore are watching the "bottom" pull away from the dock.
Banner Month for North Palm Beach Single Family Home Sales
May is flying by so quickly and the buzz in local real estate offices grows louder every day. Everyone is slammed and there just never seems to be enough hours in the day to handle the load. Remarkable is the best way to describe where the market seems to be going and almost every sign shows that overall prices have bottomed and finally after 6 years are back on the rise.
Each month in this column we bring you a recap of the previous months sales levels and much like the national trend the upswing continues to grasp the market. Nationally, home prices have dropped 34% from the highs experienced in 2006 and interest rates keep dropping to new record lows. A tremendous combination that has made homes more affordable than we have seen in decades. Even with inventory levels that continue to shrink sales have been tremendous across the board. Certain market segments are not seeing as robust of a recovery and still there are going to be bumps in the road ahead but right now things are rosy indeed. Especially in the investment and single family home markets it would be hard to imagine times being better. Buyers must be working with a Realtor who can quickly get them in front of new opportunities and present offers that have the best chance of getting accepted or risk missing out on the best deals.
Let’ take a look at April sales;
#1 North Palm Beach - up 133%
#2 Juno Beach - up 57%
#3 Palm Beach Gardens - up 36%
#4 Jupiter - up 19%
#5 Hobe Sound - up 9%
#6 Tequesta - down 25%
OK we did start off a bit weak in Tequesta but median increase over March sales in the region was 27% and the average an even stronger 38%. This is the second straight month we have seen these types of numbers and there is no doubt the spring buying season of 2012 has been very robust in northern Palm Beach County.
With a giant 133% increase April’s 1st place finisher were single family home sales in North Palm Beach. Last months sales level was the highest we have seen over the past 22 month and another sign that home prices may be heading higher at last. During April a total of 14 North Palm Beach homes changed hands compared with 6 during the previous month. With this performance we jump far ahead of the 12 month average which stands at 9.5 and also well ahead of the 2011 pace when 10 single family homes sold in April.
While sales increased they were also in each and every price category which shows property moving at each price point. However, sales were strongest by far in the $150,001 to $300,000 price category which represented 50% of all sales The uber-luxury market is showing signs of recovery with 7% of all North Palm Beach single family home sales above $1,000,000. Inventory continues to be an issue and the foundation is solidly cast for higher prices ahead.
With strong sales under $300,000 we would expect a poor performance in the median sales price last month especially on the heels of an incredibly strong performance in March In fact, in April the median sales price for North Palm Beach single family homes dropped sharply to $277,500 far below the $620,000 we saw in March. Again, March was a strange month with big sales numbers and those will effect the 12 month average moving forward. With this showing we still stayed just below the 12-month average of $290,950 and also far ahead of the median price from April 2011 which stood at $203,500. Just another sign that prices are under upward pressure for the first time in over 6 years.
Keep tuned next month to see where things go from here.......
The very best of luck to you and I hope this information is helpful but if you need anything additional please do not hesitate to give me a call.
Always at Your Service,

They sell these same leads to Loan Officers too. I have worked closely with each agent in each zip code, and to be truthful, the money just disappeared, rarely do many of these leads have serious buyers attached imho. The agent would refer me if they spoke to someone, and I them if I ever made contact. But rarely do these leads even answer the phones....and many times I got fax #'s, then I would actually send faxes....lol. Maybe I picked the wrong zip codes..who knows.

What is your price point? May be a little to early to find something for next year, but I will check once you call and we discuss all your preferences....Kathybc @ 800-448-3411 ext 601
Mike or Denise51, I just read your ad. Perhaps, you will reconsider working with an Agent that has been responding to your questions posted in Trulia Community, today.
Also, please read the condo docs you received at closing for the allowed rental periods by your HOA...management....please note it is standard procedure to have all tenants submit an application and be approved prior to occupying a Rental Unit....
Thank you,

I am reluctant to give school info as I don't have children in the schools, however, you can access the schools through the Collier County website (www.colliercty.gov/k-12, hope this is right doing from memory).
Otherwise, I believe there are n ice rental properties in North Naples that meet your needs. Only caviot is that you must rent from long than 6 months or incur a 10% rental tax. Otherwise, every owner sets what they are looking for. Pets are challenging, may require an extra security deposit...+ if you rent a home you will have care of pool, lawn, etc. Really depends upon community requirement unless you find a property no in an organized community, that is normally gated. Call me if you want more detailed help...KathyBC 800-448-3411 ext 601... more
