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.

While this question was asked back in October of 2007 the question does still have an bearing on the consumers perception of our market and what is going to happen.
The past few months have been busy with activity in the City of Cape Coral specifically. Between Januray 1st, 2008 and April 30th, 2008 just over 900 residential (Homes, Condos, Multi-Family) properties SOLD. While gathering this data at the end of April 2008 there were also an additional 900 properties PENDING sale. PENDING SALE is when the buyer and seller have decided on terms and are proceeding to closing.
Take a look at a blog I wrote regarding homes selling in early 2008 entitled CAPE CORAL HOMES SELL http://activerain.com/blogsview/414989/Cape-Coral-Homes-Sell
Consumers are buying properties and many of my customers have encountered multiple bid situations over the past months. Multiple bidding is a good indicator of consumer confidence in their real estate purchase encouraging other potential buyers confidence also. Depending on the property we may have reached somewhat of an ARTIFICIAL LOW in property pricing if the consumer is willing to pay slighlty more that asking prices on property.

Good Afternoon....
The facts are that you are not alone. Many who people bought and built homes are now hold assests that are valued less that their original purchase price.
The way our brokerage has been assisting customers in this situation who have a financial strain or hardship placed on them is through listing the home For Sale and negotiating with their lender to perform a Short Sale on the property.
Take a look at some of the articles I've written provide a good explanation about how our brokerage has assisted people like yourself, what a short sale is and how they work.

Harriet,
Grandezza is a really nice community. While prices have adjusted in a downward fashion at this point remember that historically real estate is a market just like everything else that is bought and sold. Right now we are in a downward adjustment - the market will go back up - it's just going to take time - Estero is a hot bed of new development and it's vicinity to the airport and malls make it a great location !!!

Good Evening Maureen,
You posted in Cape Coral but mentioned Coral Springs? If you're searching for a pre-foreclosure or already foreclosed bank owned REO property in Cape Coral FL (West Gulf Coast) property prices have adjusted downward significantly and there are properties on the market in your price range.
Stop by my website to search for and see all the listings at:
