That’s exactly what my clients Tricia & Jim just did!  They are newlyweds and wanted to get out of the apartment complex they were in.  When things broke, the manager would never fix them, so Jim figured if he was fixing things anyway, it might as well be on his OWN house!

I was able to help them find a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath in a great neighborhood in Longwood.  It has a big 2-car garage, a family room, a living room, a formal dining room AND the kitchen had already been remodeled! It was bank owned and it needed a little bit of cosmetic work like some paint, carpet, and the shower redone, but overall it passed the home inspection and termite inspection with flying colors!  In the end, they should have well over $50,000 in equity!  And we even got the Seller (the bank) to pay $6,000 of their closing costs for them!

Would you like me to help YOU find a house like that in Seminole County?  I specialize in finding your next home at great discount prices.  My background in the Foreclosure industry for almost 10 years has given me great insight into how the banks think and that lets me find the best deals.

Call me today to schedule a consultation over the phone.  It will cost you nothing but could make you thousands when you buy a home (just ask Tricia and Jim and their $50,000 +++ equity!  They could actually re-sell that house right now and make money…but I don’t think they’re going to!)

Yes, it’s official, yesterday Governer Crist and other lawmakers decided to NOT let criminals with certain crimes on their records get a mortgage broker’s license. WOW! We are such a progressive state (that’s sarcasm by the way!)

Florida has always had a policy on this. Way back when I got my license (I think ‘96?) I had to go to the police station and have my fingerprints taken, supposedly for a background check. And yes, thank you, I passed! And so did my husband, Tim.

Would you, and should you, trust someone that is a former bank-robber or drug dealer with your most private information (including your social security number, bank accounts, etc.)?

Absolutely NOT. I firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with interviewing your mortgage broker or real estate agent and find out if THEY are the right ones to be working with. Go ahead. I’ve got nothing to hide!

Ready to buy a foreclosure bargain house in Seminole County? Call me today and let’s see if we will be able to work together! Yes, it’s a 2-way decision!

Now THAT’S a headline for you!

WINK News out of Fort Myers Florida obviously wants to draw your attention to the plight of the neighborhoods with abandoned houses with pools that may become breeding grounds for mosquitos.  I’m sure we may have the same concerns here in Seminole County when it comes to foreclosure houses.

Here’s the thing though, they made a big deal about it, but when the inspector actually looked, out of 100 “problem homes” there was only ONE that was a breeding ground.  Is the whole Florida Foreclosure Home Crisis getting blown out of proportion?

Yes, it’s just another sign of the times…

Here’s the link to the article if you want to see the cute fishy that eats the mosquito larvae!  http://www.winknews.com/news/local/26844234.html
