Testimonials
"After talking with two other REALTORS, Lee Forbes was the first to listen to what we were looking for, was considerate of our "spendable" monies, and showed us the properties we wanted to see. I commend Lee Forbes highly for his excellent communication and listening abilities and his follow through. I recommend Lee to all my relatives and friends."
Peter & Kathy Tortolano Sat Jul 1, 2006
"Lee Forbes met our Family at the Hotel the afternoon we flew in from out of state for what we thought would be a stressful four day house hunting trip. Lee Forbes was always "low key" and calm; never pressuring us, but rather, actually made us comfortable with the whole process. We enjoyed his knowledge and professionalism when he "went to bat for us" at the last minute to dispute extra costs that arose just before closing. Great job from start to finish!"
Kim & Sally Schoeffel Wed May 24, 2006
"After six weeks of searching for "the right house" with a different REALTOR, my wife happened across Lee Forbes' website and contacted Lee Forbes. In less than 24 hours, Lee Forbes had selected 20 homes to show us that matched our criteria. Our first time out with Lee Forbes we found the home we wanted, wrote the offer, and are now happily settling in. Lee Forbes was with us every step of the way, promptly answering calls and the questions we had. Then there was the bonus of the FREE moving truck that saved us hundreds of dollars!! We could not be more satisfied with the service we received."

New construction is still tough competition for resales. You could pick up an invintory unit from the developer for a song right now if you are willing to spend about a week and really pound them on price. I have sucessfully negotciated 10-15% from list prices on builders invintory. Shhhh!.... nobody is suppost to know they will move that much - Tue Aug 19 2008, 15:53

Contact local small banks and ask to speak with thier REO department representitive. From there you can make a pitch of your service. The big banks are harder to reach someone who will even know what you are offering. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 15:50

Buying a property in Spring Lakes Bradenton Florida

Lee Forbes PA answered:
If you have financing then making an offer that you can afford and think is reasonable. You are not offending someone when you make an offer. It's often helpful to check what the seller bought the home for. This will tell you what they stand to lose or gain. This can be found on lots of sites free of charge. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 15:46
