The bank on this deal made it one of the tougher ones to close. The slow response time from the bank killed several offers before the right buyer came along. Luckily, the successful buyer’s agent was also an experienced short sale Realtor which helps get these tricky deals closed.
The closing almost did not go through because the bank refused to payoff all of the back HOA dues. We worked hand in hand with the buyers agent, and the title company to figure out a way to get this deal done …and allow the happy buyer to move in and the seller to move on and start over.
This short sale just closed last week. There were two loans on the property and the seller was never late on either payment. The bank moved in a responsive manner to get the property sold and the seller was a pleasure to work with. When seller’s are motivated and comply with all the needed paperwork, continue to maintain the property, do not remove appliances, plus keep the utilities on, it makes short sales much easier to close. The seller was happy to get the ‘property noose’ off his neck, the buyer was happy to get a great deal on a clean property, and the bank was happy because they lost less money then a foreclosure.
This is truly a special property for a waterfront buyer. The sellers purchased it from the estate of Bing Crosby and totally remodelled the home in 2001. Right on the intracoastal, the property has outstanding views of the water and surrounding preserve. Dock your boat on the intracoastal and set sail for deep-water as there are no fixed bridges or slow canals delaying your cruise.
The home itself is a spectacular Bermuda home with an open, inviting style inside. The lots next to the property are also available, so a buyer could create a true estate home with ample water access and privacy. Currently the home is available at the special short sale price of $1,300,000.

This fixer upper deal needs some cosmetic work and a new air conditioner, but the house is in decent shape and in a great community. Where else can you live in a nice Country Club community for close to $75 per sq ft. That is a great price…and its bank approved at $135,500 so it can close fast. The community does require the buyer to join its country club at a $4300 annual membership rate, so there are a lot of annual dues to pay, but the buyer gets a home for a steal right next to outstanding golf in a guard gated community.
