Hi,
I can rent you a house in Davenport for your stay near those developments - my home website ishttp:// www.championpropertyservices.com/robin. I am currently taking my real estate exams so cannot help with the purchase yet but I would recommend a guy called Scott James - you can email him at luxuryscott@aol.com.

Many Thanks

Just 35 miles east of Orlando, Brevard County prides itself as the home of Kennedy Space Center, the only facility in the world that launches the Space Shuttle; Port Canaveral, the second-busiest cruise port in the world; 72 miles of beautiful Atlantic Ocean beaches; and the largest collection of endangered wildlife and plants in the continental United States. With its tropical weather, cultural activities, educational opportunities, active and passive recreation options, high-technology industries, and family-friendly atmosphere, the Space Coast offers an exceptional quality of life that residents and visitors enjoy year-round. Nearly 500,000 people call its 15 municipalities and unincorporated areas "home."
Area history
The county has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years. The Ais were inhabiting Brevard when it was discovered by Spanish explorers.

Juan Ponce de León is said to have arrived in Florida at the shores of the future county in 1513.

The last naval battle of the American Revolutionary War was fought off the shores of Cape Canaveral in 1783, between the USS Alliance and the HMS Sybill.

I work with Coldwell Banker Ackley Realty. Last months we had the most transactions for the county. Our REO department has on average over 130 properties at any time.

If you are looking for Emerald Island or Windsor Hills, Im very confident that I can find the size and price of property to fit your needs. Plus im not afraid to invest as much time as you require to find exactly the home that will make you happy. If interested and would like to get to know me or ask me questions over the phone, you can find it on my website.

Hello Darren.

Have the flights come down any yet? I heard from my friends that they are still very dear.
If you would like information on buying in the states, please feel free to contact me.

I work in the short term rental areas around Disney. Will you be using this holiday home just for your own use or will you be letting it out?

Foreclosures/short sales do not go through fast. It can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months to get an answer back from the bank if they have accepted your offer.
Bank Owned homes have already been been taken by the bank and you can usually hear within 2 days if they have accepted your offer.

If you would like I can send you an updated list weekly before you get here.

Kind regards,

Hi Darren,

Which dates are you looking for? That’s going to dictate if I can get you a better deal or not. You are looking for a pool home with a games room for 11 nights, and $1,100 will be hard to match with a games room and spa, especially if you are looking for pool and spa heat to be included. I think I could find you a nice 4bed home with games room, pool and spa, but the pool heat and taxes will likely not be included. I definitely need to know the dates though.

Please contact me through my info below so we can discuss this further.

Regards,

Hello Darren,

Before you choose a Realtor, ask for at least 4 references from their clients. Many will have a "testimonial" section on their websites.

Are you aware of the short/sale, foreclosure process? These can take time for the lender to get back to you, either approving your offer or not. Do a Google search for accommodation in the Kissimmee area. Of course, if you come during the summer months, expect to pay a little more.

Good luck. Contact me if you need to.

FIRST ANSWER
Hello, Darren.

I think you should interview a few agents once you get here, or by phone. That way you can learn more about the way each agent works and how it can benefit you. Also, you’ll see if the person is trust worthy or not.

I would like to be one of those agents you interview. I work differently that most agents in my area and my system could be what you’re looking for.

As far as the rentals, could you tell me what size a home/condo/townhouse you are looking for? I can assist you with your accommodation needs and if you purchase a property I will reimburse your expenses.

Contact me so we can chat further.

Best Regards and Good Luck!
