naples updates: 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 updates: First Short Sale closing - 10/19/08 07:17 PM
Finally.... Finally.... Finally..... that's all I can think when I go over in my mind the last 6 months with this one short sale listing. The seller was great, the buyer was great, the agent for the buyer was great.... guess who was the pain in the neck????
Country Wide was the first disfunctional institution, then the second mortgage was held by a smaller bank, Third Federal. With all the news, all the documentation and all the personal information shared to all, we never got a call back from either bank. All the calls were made by the seller's attorney and their … (3 comments)

naples updates: 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 updates: 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 updates: Naples, FL 5th Consecutive month of improved sales - 07/18/08 09:26 AM
Below you will find the latest that has been released through our board. Like I keep saying, the statistics in Naples, FL are not what the national news keeps reporting. Just think of what this market would be doing if our buyers weren't so anxious because of all the negative reporting. Value is value no matter what is going on with the rest of the world. If you can afford it, now is the time to buy.
