FORECLOSURES Fort Myers & Cape Coral Florida waterfront

Waterfront properties (especially Cape Coral single family homes) are my number one priority, and account for the bulk of my business.  The time is right to target select waterfront properties, and the best ones are usually foreclosures, estate owned homes, or other distress sales.

The canal system here is quite complex though, so what may first appear to be a good deal could be in a remote waterfront location.  There is a maze of canals, locks, and bridges to account for. I am already familiar with all these, so I can of course guide you through it. I also have a section on my website describing how it works. You can view those details here.

I recommend getting a free Listingbook account here to track the waterfront activity, and to be in touch with me about the particulars of any you find interesting.

Lately many of my customers have been foreign buyers purchasing waterfront property, especially Canadians.  It appears many are purchasing based on the perceived long term stability in buying U.S. real estate and the fact that are property is currently deeply discounted- in some cases at a third or fourth of their prior values!

This combined situation makes for an ideal opportunity to grab choice U.S. holiday homes, especially the waterfront ones. We also have the international airport right here to make flights in and out as convenient as possible.

I have experience in assisting foreign buyers to make these purchases, whether or not they are here for the actual closing. The process is fairly simple, and a large number of properties here are already owned by Europeans and Canadians. Even if you buy foreclosure properties, you are still getting a title insurance policy which will guarantee the title is free of all liens and claims.

If purchasing in cash, the process is very easy. If you are obtaining financing here in the U.S., that can be accommodated too.  Expect to need to put 30-35% of the purchase price down, and finance 65-70% of it.

More details are posted on my website and can be viewed here.
