So, it comes as no surprise that many Florida Gulf Coast communities, including Bradenton and the River Place subdivision, have seen many homeowners falling behind on their mortgages, and coming face-to-face with the possibility of foreclosure. Unfortunately, many homeowners don't realize that having a home foreclosed upon is completely avoidab...

This year marks the 7th year that we attended the Sarasota Jungle Gardens Holiday light display. We have been coming every year since our daughter's first Christmas.     Hand Feeding Flamingos.  When visiting Sarasota and Bradenton, a visit to Jungle Gardens is a must.   Roasting Marshmallows and making S'mores too. Over 1 million lights displayed, magic show, live music, and even food too.  Every year the Sarasota Jungle Gardens Holiday Light show gets better and better.

What do all think of Zillow.com's newest feature that allows for consumers to post reviews about real estate agents?   I have had one customer do a review on me, and it was a favorable review,  I had two other heavy zillow users try to leave a recommendation and it did not allow them to logon.   I am sure that since this is really out of an agents control, if you didn't like home buyer and sellers being able to rate you the only thing  to do is remove themselves from zillow's directory.   Personally I think that the transparency is great thing for the consumer.  I think that consumers have come to expect feedback from others to help them make a decision with regards to selecting a real estate agent.  Look at Ebay, or if you go to review sites like Cntet.com   I am sure that there are go...

A professional approach has to be undertaken when going for a Bradenton foreclosure purchase. The price of the foreclosed home may look like a bargain, but it is easy to come out on the losing end if a purchase is not carefully considered. Bankers and financial analysts call this process as doing due diligence on the property.Simply put, this process is just having and accomplishing a detailed checklist of things to do when buying a foreclosure. This procedure is necessary in order to separate the chaff from the grain, so to speak. There are just so many foreclosed properties currently on the market it can be difficult knowing where to start. Deals may even be negotiated in pre-foreclosures, otherwise known as short sales, with homeowners trying to get the most out of their property abo...

The well-advised homebuyers now prefer to look first at foreclosed properties before short sales. Discounted deals certainly can be had in this market as real estate market prices have been bouncing on the lows for nearly a year now. Supply is definitely ahead of demand. In Florida, one of the hardest hit states in the real estate crash that began with the 2006-2007 US economic downturn, state figures showed a surplus of 300,000 homes.Certainly, homebuyers will be very happy taking advantage of the decline in prices of new homes. Nevertheless, an lower home cost acquisition can be realized by the purchase of a foreclosed or short sale property. But which is better?Purchasing a foreclosure can be about 25 percent lower than the cost of a house priced at current market value, one survey s...

Foreclosed residential properties present a good opportunity to acquire a new home at a much lower cost.  Among the best of such prospects are to be found in Florida.  State estimates show that 300,000 homes are vacant following the building boom there early during the last decade.  Real property buyers were then encouraged by the relatively easy credit terms.  It also helped that the Sunshine State of Florida is a perennial favorite of home buyers because of its warm climate and beach vacation destinations.  A home anywhere in Florida can be no farther than 60 miles away from a beach.The economic crunch in more recent years, however, resulted in many home mortgages being foreclosed not only in Florida but in the rest of the US as well. Florida, however, was reportedly hit the hardest b...

Now indeed is the time to act for those who want to own a home and take advantage of the relatively low cost of purchasing a foreclosed property.  The statistics are convincing. Real estate prices continue to bounce on the lows and there are a lot of foreclosed homes available in Bradenton Florida for the taking.  For 2007 alone, there was a predicted foreclosure on more than one million homes across the US.  As to pricing, it was estimated that a foreclosed home can be purchased for up to 25 percent lower than its full market value. These Statistics are in line with what we have seen in our local Bradenton market. Nevertheless, some important considerations have to meet in order to benefit from purchasing Bradenton foreclosures.  The smart buyers usually recommend several steps to cons...

Before you hire a real estate professional for the very important job of marketing and selling or assisting you with the purchase of your most precious asset, it might be a good idea to find out how 'popular' they are! Here are some of the ways your agent's rating or popularity with other agents might affect the sale of your home: Business ratings, web access, and mobile marketing are becoming more and more important in today's 'tech driven' world. If you're selling your home, the name of the game is attracting home buyers.  Today's tech savvy buyers are starting their search for a home using tech tools (mobile apps, QR codes), the internet (agent websites/blogsites, Trulia, Realtor.com, Zillow), social media (Facebook, Twitter), and business review sites (Yelp, Homethinking, Incredible...

Freddie mac and Fannie Mae seized thousands of foreclosure files from the David Sterns office in Brward County this week.   David Sterns law practice on the east coast of Florida has been one of the biggest firms processing thousands of Florida Foreclosure cases over the past few years.  Freddie and Fannie had enough about the obvious shortcuts taken by the firm, and seized thousands of files from their office this week to review them for possible errors.   Nice to see that Fannie Mae and Fredddie Mac are stepping in to straighten out this mess!  Perhaps spreading out the case load a little might help to get these foreclosure files handled better.   In any case, this should serve to slow down the already slow pace of foreclosures in the State of Florida.  This should help to encourage F...
