In my on-going quest to become a post modern Ernest Hemingway, (or the Dos XX, most interesting man in the World), I have surveyed the Real Estate Landscape and listened to the requests of my clients and have walked the plank, umm, I mean made the jump to selling property full time in the greatest place on Earth...The Florida Keys!!

Sunday was a perfect day for simply being here in Islamorada in the Florida Keys.

Are you in the market for a single family home in the Florida Keys? Maybe a vacation home or a permanent residence. The smart buyer will consider a bank owned foreclosure as this is where the best value lies. Banks are not in the business of property management and as such do not want to hold onto their REO's, real estate owned. This is a liability to them and they will price them to sell quickly. Add to that the fact that of the 3587 active listings only 146 or .44% are foreclosures in the Florida Keys. With so few Foreclosures available and a large pool of buyers looking to acquire them it is imperative that the Florida Keys property buyer stay abreast of the inventory. Make sure you are working with an agent that knows the Florida Keys real estate Foreclosure market and will email yo... 08/23/2010
