Real Estate in Clearwater Florida | Buyers Get Bargain Waterfront Homes and Luxury Condos
I receive about 5-calls a day where someone is asking me if I have waterfront foreclosure properties and luxury real estate bargains on Clearwater Beach FL, Clearwater FL, Island Estates FL and Sand Key FL; as well as the surrounding areas we serve in Pinellas County.
Like everywhere in the United States, we have our share, so here is some information that I hope you find to be helpful in your search for your ultimate Tampa Bay real estate deal.
Yes, we do have waterfront, gulf front and luxury foreclosure, pre-foreclosure and bank owned properties in addition to homes in lovely Clearwater neighborhoods. So, let’s discuss these terms before I get into some more info on buying real estate in Pinellas County, Clearwater homes and condos in foreclosures:
Clearwater Real Estate Options for Buyers looking for Bargains, Deals and Steals:
– Pre-Foreclosure - The Pinellas County home / condo owner has or is about to miss some home loan payments to the bank.
– Foreclosure - The Pinellas County home / condo owner has missed mortgage payments and the bank has filed an action with the court to take control of the Pinellas property.
– REO - Real Estate Owned - means the bank owns the property (homes, condos, villas, town homes). The bank has taken the property from the home / condo owner and is now selling it.
Realize that in most cases, the bank cannot profit from a home, condo or town home until they own it. That means a pre-foreclosure or foreclosure
property is not profitable for a bank and that the bank is trying to
minimize the loss.
There can be some great Tampa Bay real estate bargains (especially if you’ve been thinking about a vacation home or beach house / condo) for those who are patient, and this home buying process can take from a few days to a few months to complete.
We have found many Clearwater home buyers give up before the real estate deal is complete. For example, I am helping one Clearwater Florida family with a pre-foreclosure home purchase and we are entering the fifth month, but they will be buying the property about 30% below the current Clearwater real estate market price when the deal is complete.
Once the bank owns the property, it becomes a REO. There are bargains
to be had with these bank owned properties because we are in a buyer’s
market.
That means there are too many houses for sale in Pinellas County Florida - remember supply and demand in economics. In a buyers market there is more housing inventory than can be purchased by the number of buyers in Clearwater Florida looking for homes, so you can pick up a good deal.
For example, I just helped a Pinellas home buyer purchase a REO condo for about 25% less than this North Pinellas property sold for just 2 years before.
Finally, it is important to have an experienced Clearwater FL Realtor represent you so that you know the price you will pay for any of the Clearwater homes or Clearwater beach condos for sale is the lowest possible price. You also want to make sure that any issues whether they be from home inspections, liens, egress, special assessments, back taxes, unknown heirs or claims, etc. are corrected, so that you will not have costs uncovered after closing that could wipe out all of the discount you thought you were getting with the purchase.
So, if you are ready to save money on a Pinellas County home or Gulf Beaches condo and have patience, then call me to get started on your Clearwater real estate purchase.

Clearwater Florida | Luxury Home Buyers Rave about Top Clearwater REALTORS
October 28th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Florida, Golf Course Homes, Golf Course Living, Homes for Sale, Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate
Top Clearwater REALTORS praised as Clearwater Real Estate Experts by Luxury Golf Home Buyers
While Halloween is just three days away we are happy to know that our most recent Clearwater luxury home buyers felt working with us was “a treat” - not a trick!
These luxury home buyers contacted us from our Clearwater Real Estate and Community blog in early September and shared their dream of wanting to purchase their vacation home in the Clearwater Florida area. They flew down from Washington DC two weeks later to spend the weekend seeing the homes and condos on in local golf course communities that met their criteria.
These Golf Course Home Buyers choose Clearwater Luxury Real Estate Experts
They relied on us to be their Tampa Bay real estate advocates locally throughout the process since they were at home and out of town during the month leading up to their vacation home closing.
When a few problems arose we let them know immediately, we believe in full disclosure always. We worked with them and their local home inspection expert to get the issues resolved to their satisfaction. We even arrange for them to get special pricing on their new neighborhood’s golf course and country club membership which they really appreciated.
6 weeks after they picked up the phone to call us and ask us to be their local Clearwater Florida real estate agent - they own their luxury Florida golf home. It was exciting to be a part of their journey and share in the culmination of it all coming true. This may not have been possible a few years ago – one of the things that made them feel comfortable working with us was that they could read out blog and hear from other Clearwater area home buyers – they felt like they already knew us before they called.
After the Clearwater real estate closing celebration we asked them to share a little about how it was to work with Jack and I as their real estate agents. They explained that it was obvious to them that we were Clearwater real estate “experts who had done this many times before” and ”that we had a rigorous process to ensure they were protected”. We are so pleased that they have actually already referred us to other friends thinking of relocating to Florida and maybe even Clearwater.
That is the greatest compliment we can receive - to have home buyer’s we’ve helped refer us not out of obligation but because they know their family and friends will truly benefit when working with us.
