If you are considering Florida retirement, here’s a clever way to see potential homes in the hard hit area of Southwest Florida.
Mark Joseph, a realtor in Fort Meyers, offers FREE foreclosure bus tours in Southwest Florida for prospective home buyers. Riders get comprehensive tours of houses, condos, and property lots that are available at “fire sale” prices.
In areas like Cape Coral, Fort Meyers, and other Lee County locales, foreclosures are coming on the market at about 40 per day. That’s no surprise as recent reports indicate that region was one of the hardest hit after the boom years of 2004-2005.
Mark bought the bus from a local church, added a custom paint job, and a new service for individuals looking for FL retirement homes was born:
It’s not uncommon for Mark to take his riders to visit bank owned properties that have been discounted by more than 50%.
By offering the tours, he is doing more than growing his real estate business by earning commissions when bank owned properties are sold. As a long time resident of Fort Meyers, Mark is also helping Lee County climb out of the real estate rut.
In his words, he is helping take property off the market that is driving down the local economy, and delivering it to people ”who couldn’t afford it two and a half years ago.”
If he can keep up with the price of gas, Mark should be busy for a long time. It is estimated that there are more than 19,000 houses on the market in Lee County, and prices are still falling!
