About Me
I relocated to Southwest Florida and Lee County in early 2001 to continue my career in one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the nation. I am very proud to call Lee County my home.

Throughout my career as a licensed real estate sales associate and a licensed mortgage broker in the State of Florida I have enjoyed helping people in buying and selling real estate in addition to assisting members of the community in times of personal crisis.

Having worked with first time homebuyers, retirees and seasoned investors finding them the perfect home or investment at the right price I look forward to the future of doing the same for you as one of my new customers.

If you are looking to purchase or sell a home or have questions regarding a future transaction I can be of assistance to you or someone you may wish to refer. I am able to assist buyers and sellers of fantastically priced properties throughout our market area here in Southwest Florida to include but not limited to Foreclosures, Pre-Foreclosures, Short-Sales, Vacant Land, Waterfront Properties, Single Family, Multi-Family, and Condos.

My market areas include Cape Coral, Pine Island, Fort Myers, South Fort Myers, Gateway, Fort Myers Beach, San Carlos Park, Island Park, Lehigh Acres, Estero, and areas surrounding Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) and Southwest Florida International Airport (SWFIA).

I look forward to working with you.

Looking to buy in Cape Coral

Scott Slocum answered:
Steve,

These links will provide you a multitude of information regarding short sale properties.

The best rule when placing an offer on a "Short Sale" property is to have your agent pull comps and use that as a starting point for SOLD properties of similar type. The lender who has to release the lein on the property will be pulling their own comps by doing what is known as a BPO. The offer has to make sense compared with the market value, appraised value of the property with comparable sales.

Also Cape Coral FL is only about 10-20 minutes to area beaches throughout Lee County FL.

Also take a look at some of the articles I've written provide a good explanation about what a short sale is and how they work.

Steve,

Yes you can buy pool homes for under 150k. The reason price have adjusted downward is due to an oversupply of inventory. We have a significant number of homes for sale. With the laws of supply and demand upon us... we have too much supply and that has created a decreased pricing situation. Our insurance here is no different than anywhere else in the state of florida. We do have a lot of pre-foreclosure properties, short sales, and REO Bank Owned Homes. Many homeowners, and speculators have realized they can no longer afford homes they thought would bring them a large profit in two years (flipping) and many became victims of the predatory lending practices of ARMS, Option ARMS.

Cape Coral is a great place to live. We just have too much supply at the moment.

Many Cape Coral home sites sit on canals. Many of these canals vary in width. The best view is certainly riverfront, lakefront, wide canal, spreader canal on the west side of Cape Coral.

All water views are associated with varying price ranges.

Cape Coral Home Prices have gone through some downward changes over the past twelve months. As consumers we want to know that we're getting the best deal and we're making a secure investment.

A common question consumers have been asking is "How Low Will They Go?" Real Estate is a market that has ups and downs. Just as we couldn't time the exact point at which prices were going to peak we're not going to be able to time the exact point when prices will stabilize.

So what should we do as consumers with all of this information... We should look at the positive situation we are presently faced with. Southwest Florida is filled with multitudes of property For Sale.

The benefit is that you can pick the cream of the crop home that is exactly what you are seeking. You have a wide variety of housing choices available at very reasonable prices.

In Cape Coral FL you can purchase a single family home starting around $70,000. You can add in a pool and find Cape Coral single family homes starting around $90,000.

Good Evening,

The best thing you could do would be to contact me for a free market evaluation of your home. I can go over comparable properties actively for sale, pending sale, and sold. With this information you should have a better understanding of the present value of your home.
