naples: Finally found a great realtor in Orlando/Windermere, FL!!!! - 02/10/10 12:32 PM
Chris Sapp in Orlando/ Windermere, FL is a realtor I highly recommend.
I am a realtor in Naples, FL dealing with very sophisticated buyers and sellers. Most are very successful and need a realtor who understands what they need and what they are looking for. I needed the same to list my property in Orlando. It was a short sale situation and I chose a realtor from the active rain site initially. This is where you don't assume... EVER... It turned into a nightmare. She was ignorant of law, didn't listen, said one thing and did another. Lost the sale to … (0 comments)

naples: Naples, FL Good service providers need attention too! - 03/14/09 05:19 AM
WE (well, me lately) seem to always write about how terrible service is or how we did not get what we paid for or the people we have to deal with who are socially or emotionally or intellectually challenged. You get the idea.
Here is a post that tells you of great service to both me and my clients, consistantly for at least 6 yrs. since I lived in Naples, FL.
Jose Puertas owns "Blind Expert." He is a distributor for Hunter Douglas and also does custom window treatments. I have used his services a couple of times and many of my … (0 comments)

naples: Biking through wine country - 09/27/08 07:46 PM
Very excited about finding this group. I love new cultures, different food, wine, people..... anything to show me how big the world can be. Suddenly, what was getting us down, or if we were in a funk over simple, trivial things..... getting away always puts things in perspective.
I was bored..... just closed some sales, nothing really going on. Hot, humid in Florida and in the summer.... it can be quite boring.... so... after getting the brochure from backroads.com for many years ---- I just decided to check out it's website -- before I knew it..... by the end of the day … (8 comments)

naples: Naples, FL "Do you want to work with this realtor"? - 09/19/08 10:05 AM
Looking for a realtor? Where do you start if you don't know who to go to? How can you tell who is ethical? Who is business savy? Who will you get along with? This is tough. I too, as a realtor come across this situation when I need to find a realtor in another city for a friend who needs one. I start with the internet, and on any of their sites, I try to catch something.... sometimes they use the wrong grammer ---- they may have a word spelled wrong... they may say something very original and unique. It can be both positive … (2 comments)

naples: Naples, FL Short Sale alerts - 09/06/08 07:27 PM
Short Sales are old news.Many buyers have made offers, written up contracts only to have the mortgage company respond too slowly or turn down their offers only creating more work for all involved. Then the mortgage company loses all that time only to start all over again. Then the buyers have to start from scratch. Oh well -- this is a learning curve for all of us in this industry. Looks like the buyers are also catching on and just looking for a good deal instead of a short sale -- they want to buy --- they don't want the BS. Here in … (0 comments)

naples: Naples, FL Mortgage lenders: How do short sales affect your credit score? - 07/18/08 05:08 PM
I am getting mixed answers on the question regarding how a short sale will affect your credit score.
All of the information I am sharing, what I heard, comes from lender's, not from everybody who has an opinion. From all of this.... I know nothing. If anybody can offer some facts that are updated or from personal experience, please share----
I was told that a short sale would affect your credit score for 7 yrs., compared to a forclosure that would affect it for 10 yrs. This was last year. The other week, I was told that this situation is so wide … (0 comments)

naples: Premiere Plus Realty in Naples, FL - 07/04/08 09:21 PM
I just got back from a 4th of July picnic where there were numerous realtors. We started talking about the market, crazy situations, crazy people, funny people, etc.. Then the topic of our brokers came up. It made me think. I have finally (after 5 yrs. in the business and new town) found a real "grown up" broker to hang my license. I mean just that... "hang my license" -- not "work for" since we, the realtor bring them, the broker, the business. Premiere Plus Realty in Naples, FL knows this and acts like a real grown up company and treats … (0 comments)

naples: Naples, Fl Short Sale Bargain - 06/30/08 08:02 AM
Another Buyer walked away! Yes, it took the lender (Countrywide of course)- more than 60 days to get a response and a counter for this buyer, but the buyer knew, from the beginning when signing the contract that it probably would take up to 90 days and they would counter and be prepared to pay more than the offer - (I know the lenders have a ratio to work with depending on the appraisal)--- The list price in the mls was very low to draw people in, but the lender still came down from that so, in truth --it truly is … (1 comments)

naples: Another Sunday - long run and an open house - 06/29/08 09:56 AM
Since deciding to train for the Miami ING marathon, I have started a bit of conditioning, although early, I just don't want to start from scratch in Sept for the Jan. marathon. I decided to start my Sunday's with a positive attitude and a feeling of accomplishment. I am just running a couple days a week - with cross-training in between, but Sunday's are for the long run. My long runs only consist of 6-7 miles right now and won't advance until Sept, but I find this a good base. It also get's all the cobwebs out of my brain and allows … (5 comments)

naples: Buyer's please pay attention to what your realtors tell you. - 04/19/08 07:36 PM
Another week spent in the car, comparing neighborhoods, prices and maint. fee's, but not all in vain. This is a couple we realtors love to work with.
I met them at an open house, unfortunately the one I was sitting (one of my listings), was not what they were looking for so I shared some facts about the market. I waited to see if they were receptive or were they one of those who thought they knew everything? I let them wonder around a bit so they could talk between themselves without feeling like somebody was over their shoulder. I am a firm believer in … (2 comments)

naples: Naples, FL - Short Sale precautions. - 03/30/08 08:50 AM
Another week and more education. This industry is so wide open with opportunities if you are willing to be flexible and educated.... daily. The short sale is becoming a common accurance, but to direct yourself or your clients through this is different every time. It all depends on the lender and the actual situation --- first of all you have to make sure this is a true short sale opportunity - for both the seller and buyer's knowledge before you proceed. Seller's --- get all financial info needed at your finger tips.... you have to do some work too. Ask every question … (3 comments)
