Sarasota Foreclosures

Posted by Marc Rasmussen on Sunday, February 15th, 2009 at 5:27am.

I just built some pages so it will be easier for you to search for foreclosures and short sales in Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Bird Key, Casey Key, Lido Key and Lakewood Ranch. You can view them here:

There are some misconceptions by the public. Many believe that foreclosures are the only properties selling. That is not true. In the 4th quarter of 2008 about 41% of all of the transactions were either foreclosures or short sales.

Another misconception is that all foreclosures and short sales are great deals. That is not true either. There are non foreclosure properties for sale out there that are priced very well. A short sale just means that the seller owes more than the property is worth and that the bank needs to approve the shortage before the transaction can occur. Banks do appraisals as part of their due diligence. They aren't going to give the property away.

Just a lot more BROKER BULL. Just another BROKER looking to sell Real Estate to earn a commission.

Can't you think of anything more intelligent to say Fenimore than this is BROKER BULL and just another BROKER trying to earn a commission?

Of course, I am trying to sell real estate to earn a commission. Brilliant deduction there jack ass. That is how Realtors and Brokers make money. None of us deny that. If there wasn't a need for us we wouldn't be around.
