Having trouble making your house payments or know someone who is?

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

YouTube Preview ImageChances are you or someone you know in Fort Myers is facing the possibility of foreclosure. But you need to understand that you are not alone.

Today, 1 out of every 10 homeowners in America is behind on mortgage payments. These are tough and frustrating times. Now more than ever, it’s important to identify your options. Foreclosure can be avoided, your credit can be saved, and your financial future can be salvaged.

Through my experience handling distressed properties at Denny Grimes & Company, Inc., I’ve found that homeowners today have more questions than answers about their circumstances. I have created this site www.freeforeclosureanswers.com to help you understand the possible solutions to foreclosure, as well as provide a detailed explanation of short sales, which may be the best course of action for some homeowners.

You may also have noticed that I’m offering you a FREE Report to explain your options and help you decide on a course of action. The idea of losing a home can be overwhelming, and I feel it is vital for you to have all the facts necessary to make an informed decision.

As an agent with the CDPE® Designation, I have a strong and unique appreciation of the factors affecting the market, and know that there are options available to you.

If you would like to know more about your options, please call me at 239.689.7699.

I am here to help you find a dignified solution to a financial crisis.

Italy Meets Fort Myers, Florida at Portofino

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Inspired by a village on the northern coast of Italy, Portofino is a unique and timeless community in Fort Myers, Florida. It is surrounded by lush preserve that is home to Florida’s well known natural wildlife and Portofino’s landscape was created so that there would be harmony between the surrounding ecosystem and the community.

The design of this community is truly imaginative. We can’t all afford to live in a 2-story, Italian inspired mansion, but what if you only owned a fourth of it? That is what Portofino has done! What looks like a gorgeous mansion that is way out of your price range is actually four attached villas each with it’s own 2 car garage and with 1,556 to 2,326 sq. ft. you will have plenty of space for your family. You will be living in Italian luxury at less than a fourth of the cost!

Portofino homes feature brick paver driveways and walkways, colonial windows, professionally designed landscaping, granite countertops, backsplash, ceramic tile, Victorian baseboards, custom wood windowsills with aprons, enamel wood trim finish, roman tub, designer chrome faucets and hardware and much more!

Find yourself transported to Italy and embraced by nature at Portofino! It really is unique living.

Portofino is located on Six Mile Cypress Pkway, one mile North of Daniels Pkway.
