The State of Florida Real Estate
Now is the greatest opportunity for both investors and those wishing to purchase a new home for themselves in Southwest Florida. Because of the abundance of short-sales and foreclosures, prices for all real estate are at their lowest in decades. It’s possible to find brand-new homes with vaulted ceilings, upgraded cabinets and appliances, granite counters and tile throughout for unbelievably low prices!
Though it’s a great time to buy, it is NOT the best time to sell. You’ll be competing with short-sales, bank-owned repossessions due to foreclosures, and other sales due to owner distress. If you are in a situation where you feel you need to sell, contact us first. Perhaps we can help by finding someone to rent your home instead. We can manage the property and let it generate rental income while we advise you on how to achieve the best possible sale price.
As we are experts at short-sales, and have been handling them long before the term became a household phrase. As licensed mortgage-brokers, we have been dealing with lenders at financial institutions for years regarding every possible type of sale. If a short-sale is the only option, who better to handle it then the professionals at Heape Enterprises, Inc.

Not only can we help you to turn over unwanted real estate by finding viable buyers, we can also help yo to minimize your loss by getting the highest dollar amount for the sale as possible.
