Naples Short Sales

By
Real Estate Agent with John R. Wood Properties

There are currently 1,294 active "potential" Naples short sale listings on MLS right now.

Of those listings, 108 Naples properties are listed for over $500,000.

There are also 129 (That's 18 more since last week) Naples short sales located west of 41 (Tamiami Trail or close proximity to Naples beaches) You can see 22 of them here:

Naples short sales West of 41

Buyer Beware: Just because the property is listed as a "potential" short sale, does not mean the owner's bank has agreed to sell the property for the reduced amount.  It could be the owner and or agent has not had any communication with the bank regarding selling short.  "Bank Approved" verbiage on the listing sometimes indicates that there has already been communication with the lender and that they will be willing to negotiate a deal if for at least full price.

Short sales can take a GREAT DEAL OF TIME to close (if they ever close) be prepared for more of a hassle than a normal transaction BUT if you get it done, it might be a deal.

Of course, it's easier if you're working with a smart agent on your behalf. They have the ability to talk intelligently with the other agent and can help you through the transaction.

For the expanded lists of either Naples short sales priced $500,000 and above or Naples short sales west of 41, send me an email requesting the list you want and I'll get it to you asap.

Love the short sale bus and Bill's comment--hilarious!  

And, your disclosure is definitely right on target.  Buyers are wary because there are so many agents who don't have a clue what they're doing in the short sale department.  It's gotten to the point now that despite the fact that I tell some buyers that the listing agent is on-the-ball, they won't go for some amazing deals out there.  They're really missing out too!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend...

what a clever idea to advertise short sales listings, for a minute I thought you actually used this bus to take people around and show them the short-sales, LOL! Silly me.

Chris and Maria,  If I were to start a short sale bus in Naples, I'm pretty sure I would be stoned to death. LOL :)  Thanks for commenting :)
