naples real estate: The List of Naples Foreclosures Almost The Same For a While - 06/01/10 02:26 PM
It looks like off season summer months and BP oil spill are doing their job of slowing Naples Florida home and condo sales down. I am checking on foreclosures and bank approved short sales for my clients and they remain almost unchanged since early May.
I have a very strong CRM system on my website and can track how clients who receive my periodic communications (updates) react. Say I can see who from the list just opened my e-mail and who clicked on the links I provided. There is no decline in the number of clients who are opening all my … (0 comments)

naples real estate: Foreclosure Helter Skelter - 05/20/10 08:25 AM
Question. Is it logical for the lenders, Fannie Mae and the likes to use out of town title companies/law firms to deal with another locality foreclosures?
I had a lot of fun as buyer's agent following the paper and communication trail of Fannie Mae, Maimi based title company. local Naples HOA and law firm handling the estoppel for a Naples home foreclosure. They had no idea how the other partner in this deal operates, never produced anything on time and required 3 closing date extensions.
I was just patiently working and waiting first, you know how it is with foreclosures, but … (0 comments)

naples real estate: This Summer Is The Last For Great Deals In Naples. - 05/14/10 03:55 PM
It's obvious that short sales are taking over as good deals and become more attractive for buyers who are looking for specific properties, not just a good deal. Great deal Naples foreclosures simply dried up and further lucrative options that appear on the market have a number of competing offers the same day they are placed on MLS.
If you look at Naples foreclosures it's hard to find anything built in 2000-2010. Most of the properties were built in the 80s and 90s. That is already a turning point for many buyers.
Beachfront foreclosures are almost non-existent. Short sales are the … (0 comments)

naples real estate: Naples Florida Homes And Condos Sell. - 03/28/10 09:56 AM
I have just talked to a very skeptical first time Naples visitor who casually mentioned that he is not in a hurry to buy because there is no guarantee that there won't be another economic collapse or real estate market meltdown in the nearest future.
Well, I don't give guarantees and really hope that everyone learned something from the last two years, but here is what I have to say.
1. The reality is that home and condo prices in Naples Florida returned back to pre-Boom level of 1999 to 2001. And that is roughly 50 cents on a dollar compared … (0 comments)

Google recently teamed up with one of the largest Australian real estate agencies to market proof their new real estate advertising platform based on Google Maps and video presentations with map pins.

I am still using a number of overseas and local portals for more aggressive lead generation, however Google Maps leads have the highest conversion ratio compared even to largest portals. So no wonder a number of real estate portals here in US … (2 comments)

I didn't have to but I tried a number of lead generation websites which charge you either per subscription, per leads or per sale just to collect data and see what's going on.

naples real estate: To Buy Or Not To Buy in 2010 - 12/22/09 08:01 AM
There is a very heated debate these days about the nearest future of real estate in US and the world. Many clients of mine are asking about the recent trends because they heard of a second real estate crisis possibly coming in 2010. So what could be happening in recent months?
1. One group of real estate investment experts argues that you shouldn't buy in 2010 at all because of several crusial investment factors. They argue that the low interest rates are the major factor. The lowest real estate prices should coinside with the highest interest reates not the lowest. If … (2 comments)

naples real estate: A Major Pitfall of Internet Real Estate Marketing - 12/19/09 04:18 PM
After working on hundreds of internet leads coming to my website monthly I have found out that the most common drawback of going through internet leads is: most of home buyer prospects surfing internet contact a substancial number of real estate agents in the area and collect information with most of them without trying to narrow down the number of agents or ideally choosing the one for quite a long time. This fact creates a lot of confusion, unanswered e-mails, phone calls and ultimately frustration and wasted mileage on a car.
Therefore the almost rhetoric question:"Do you work with any other agents in … (9 comments)
