Joe Kendall, Realtor with Sandals Realty a Waterfront and Foreclosure Specialist writes, just last week I was out looking at bank owned homes in Cape Coral with clients, I was also reviewing a couple homes for out of town buyers and I just wanted to explain why you need a buyers agent when buying bank owned REO Property. Bank owned property is sold in "as is " in "where is" terms. Meaning the seller is selling it in as is condition and makes no warranty to its condition.

 Many Realtors that sell Bank Owned property have property management companies that go to the bank owned property and change the locks and take pictures for the listing. The listing agent of the bank owned property sometimes do not visit the property and lists the home off the taxes records in as is where is condition. Remember the Listing agent has a contract with the seller to work in the best interest of the seller. Now not all Realtors I know do this, but there are many companies that do.  Last week, I found these errors in the listing information sheet. 

After inspecting these homes with the home buyers here is what we found.

(1) This home was listed as having city water ( the inspection of the home showed this home was currently on well water )

(2) This home was found to be on city water with an association fee of 360.00 per year for the water service. ( This home was listed as a home with a well with future assessments coming )

(3)  This listing is a waterfront pool home on a freshwater lake. I called the listing agent and asked about a seawall? before going out to visit the property, the agent said I am not sure, I think so? We went to the property and the home was on a fresh water lake without a seawall. Not good for my homes buyers with two small dogs.

(4)  The listing agent office told this buyer the home just needed a little TLC . When we arrived at the home it had been neglected to the point of needed major remodeling. Yet in most cases, it is in the buyer eyes to TLC or what is major work. Every Home buyers eyes are different but I think everyone would of agreed on this one. 

When buying bank owned property, it is very important to review all the known facts about the property before making an offer on a property.

I look forward to hearing from you.

When your looking to buy waterfront property maybe a bank owned or a foreclosure property that is gulf access ? There are a few things you need to review at each homes location.

(1) The condition of the seawall is important to check many home buyers and agents do not check the condition of the seawall. The rain water should be flowing over top of the sea wall into the canal. Check to insure the water is not running behind the wall and underneath to the waterway. This will cause the seawall to weaken and crack. You should walk the entire edge of the sea wall where the yard meets the seawall. If there is already water running behind the wall you will notice the soil will be starting to wash away. Secondly you should look at the outside wall surface to insure there are no major cracks. Replacing a seawall can cost several thousands dollars. Repairing should be done right away after closing on the property.

(2) Condition of the dock and boat lift. l personally look at every piling to insure there are no major cracks or "Pealing of wood" Stress cracks on pilings holding the metal supports for the boat lift will be located where the lift is bolted to the piling. I would operate the lift, if it has not been oiled in a while it will make a large noise. if it shakes I would have in inspected by a Marine Contractor and the bearings could be going and in need of replacement. ( I can give you a good reference of a Marine Contractor to give you a estimate of repairing or replacing the current lift. )

(3) Boating distance to the River and the Gulf of Mexico. We have over 300 miles of Gulf Access Waterfront in Cape Coral Florida. In some areas yes we do have a lot of water but during the dry season we have some canals that are hard to get a boat out to open water. We have different bridge heights ( Boat clearance ) within the City of Cape Coral. There is a big difference in location regards to boating distance (time in boating travel) to the river and open waterway.  As a home buyer you should know how long it will take you to get out to open water and what size of boat would you be limited to buying from any homes location.

I boat and fish these local waterways. You should be working with a Realtor who will help you get your best price and terms on your next home purchase! I will insure you will enjoy your new Gulf Access Waterfront home purchase as well as your boating experiences for years to come! 

Call me today or email me for "My Best Buys" on the waterfront!  

I look forward to helping you buy your very own "Piece of Paradise"

Yesterday, I was out showing Bank owned pool homes under $100,000 in Cape Coral Florida.We looked at 12 homes yesterday. Today I have scheduled 9 more homes with the buyers, they have already picked out 2 homes that they really like. I took some pictures of our tour so I could share with all of my readers. All these homes are bank owned foreclosure's , not a short sale and we get a reply from the bank on our offers within normally 3 business days.  Bank Short sales can take up to 90 days for a reply from the bank. There are some Bank foreclosure's that I would say are distressed property and will need repairs before moving into while others are in just need or carpet and paint and decorating to taste.

I have 2 pool homes under contract now for two different Clients ! One for $110,000 was listed at $105,000 and the other for $117,000 listed at $125,000
