“Foreclosure Fever” is rampant! It appears that most of our buyers have “Foreclosure Fever” and want to jump on board and find that great deal. There is only one problem — there is a foreclosure frenzy in place. In the past few weeks the flurry has increased and now properties are receiving multiple bids. Literally within a few hours of the listing being on the market, there are multiple offers. Even if you are the first to show and submit your offer there is no guarantee that your full-price offer will be received and accepted. The banks are looking for multiple offers above asking price; they want the highest and best offers. Even if a buyer has been approved for financing and has the required down payment and approval letter, the banks are looking for cash offers, rather than an offer with a financing contingency.
This is very frustrating for buyers, particularly first-time homebuyers who are trying to obtain the tax credit and make their dream of owning a home a reality. The banks are not even responding to the offers; it is often several days or weeks later that you learn that the house has gone under contract and the bank took another offer. The banks are not being forced to give a reason why your offer was rejected. If you have “foreclosure fever” let us know we can provide you with some suggestions on how you can get your offer accepted without enduring “foreclosure fever frustration”.

Selecting a Agent is easier when you feel comfortable with that Agent’s qualifications, integrity, competence and priorities. Summer understands the importance of providing the highest quality level of service to her clients. It is not only the professional service she provides “during” the transaction but also “after” the transaction that sets her apart from other agents. She remains committed to servicing her clients long after the deal has closed.
Summer is a native of Columbus, Ohio and has lived in all four time zones. After graduating from Southern Illinois University, Summer became a sales manager for a prominent retail store in Portland Oregon. A few years of drizzly, gray rain were enough to send Summer to sunny Florida, where she met her husband, Robert. Summer is now proud to call Vero Beach her home. She has two children in the public school system and is involved in planning charity events in the community. Moving through all four time zones has given Summer a thorough knowledge of the entire relocation process. Her familiarity with Vero Beach and the personal service you receive from her will make you feel right at home. Whether you are looking to rent or buy, Summer will make the process as smooth as possible.
Summer continually strives to provide that extra “attention to detail” and “exceptional personal service”. No matter what part of the county you are interested in and no matter what your price range, Summer has the knowledge and expertise you deserve.

Six Great New Listings in Vero Beach
We wanted to update you on several great new listings here in Vero Beach. Before we do, for my latest update on our market, check out my broker update here and Cheryl Goff’s buyers agent update here. Everyone expects 2010 to be a fantastic year in real estate. If you’re still on the fence, now would be a great time to get off of it.
