Default Florida homes may be selling soon....to Canadians

One of our national Tv channels had a spot tonight where a seminar was held in Toronto to promote distressed and cheap Florida properties for sale. It was essentially a packed hall with folks ready to buy at $1.05US to the $1CAN!!

Brian where have you been? About 50% of the inspections we do are for Canadians. Mostly from the Toronto area.

The developement I live in is over 50% Canadian. I love it. Good people, love their wine, food and love to be friendly and whats more importants. ONLY 6 months MAXIMUM! I have the entire golf course to myself in the summer!

I have been getting 3 or 4 Canadian clients per week for a couple of years now. Like Russell said, they're great. They're seldom at the inspection, they only come down for a few months per year, and they spend money here then leave!

Russell Be aware those Canadians are just pulling the wool over your eyes , the plot is buy from the south up . Eventually you will be seeing Health care and speed signs change to Kilometers . And all french fries will come with vinegar. Remember they walk among you. Psst, just listen to how they say about ( giveaway) Damn Canadians lol

I love Florida and do visit often .
Our Best Friends are from NJ and now live in Coco Beach.
We go there every year and they come here every year .
What a great life we all live , Seeing what goes on in the rest of the world I am glad how we all can get along here .
The street I live on has 8 houses and two have bought places in the south.
WE made 13 trips to USA last year .
