South Florida Real Estate and...

We just closed another one of our short sale listings in the Slade Condominium in West Palm Beach with a fantastic view of the Florida Intracoastal waterways and a roof top pool!  

We listed this condo for $149,777. Just imagine these units were selling in the high $300's when they were first built! 

We sold this unit for ALL CASH for $143,000. The owner offered an incentive to buyers- he paid one year of HOA fees in full at closing for the buyer. HOA fees at the Slade are $850 per month. 

There was one loan on this Slade condo. We had a couple of buyers that walked during the short sale proces. Each time they walked the file had to be started all over again with this particular lender.  The short sale negotiations took almost four months to complete because of issues with the short sale lender, the situation of the seller and other circumstances that had to be taken care of prior to getting short sale approval. 

The owner found us searching the internet for help with doing a short sale. 

The owner was SO happy that he sent us this testimonial: 

It gives me great pleasure to introduce Nestor and Coach Katerina.

I owned a condominium in West Palm Beach, and like so many people I fell behind in payments, and Bank started foreclosure proceedings.

I live in N.J. and I did not know where to turn for help.

I started to surf the internet and was lucky enough to find Nestor and Katerina Gasset's Real Estate Team.

I did not know them at all. My goal was to avoid foreclosure and try best to do Short Sale.

From the very beginning Nestor and Coach Katerina made me feel very comfortable and helped to start the short sale process.

There are several people in this Real Estate Company that handle different aspects of the Short Sale process, and try help you, right from the start, from listing your Apartment for Sale, to filing

several documents and working closely with the Bank. This company works as a well coordinated team and they are on top of everything .

The correspondence with Bank is handled on the same day promptly.

Most of the communication is done by EMAILS and they have advanced forms of communication to make the process paperless.

Another individual who is extremely, valuable in this company,   is Tina O'dell of the Infiniti Title Company who finally pushes the application for a smooth Closing.

FINALLY I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS A HIGHLY KNOWLEDGE ABLE, COMPETENT, COMPASSIONATE, HONEST, AND VERY PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE TEAM WHO

GOT THE JOB DONE,  AND DO THE SHORT SALE FOR ME IN  TIMELY FASHION.  

S.K.

The Short Sale Closing That Was Saved In The 11th Hour!

Short Sale- West Palm Beach Condo- The Slade  

Short Sale Lender: BankUnited Florida - One Mortgage

Condo Fees- Current

Mortgage- Lis Pendens

Source Of Listing- Referral from our attorney- she does not do short sale negotiating.

• Bank approval in less than 60 days.

• Cash buyers

• Hardship- Investment underwater, business decision

• Seller had to pay for HOA fees, attorney fees and a few minor title fees. 

The first buyers were a group of investors who failed to perform on their contract at the end of the day.
We went through the whole short sale process, negotiated the short sale with the bank and the sellers.
This was an investment purchase. Our attorney who was doing the closing and the buyers' attorney went back and forth settling title issues.
The buyers then failed to wire the cash to our attorney's trust account within the time frame. We felt worst for their agent who could not even reach the buyers!

The date to close was coming up fast so we put the condo back on the market right away with the accepted price as an approved short sale.
This lender allows substitutions of buyers.


With less than a week to meet the lender's deadline for closing- we hoped for the best.

We were racing against the clock! Could we do it? It would have to be a cash buyer to close that quickly.

So to work we went and:

Within 24 hours we had another cash buyer. The buyers' agent stepped right up and their buyer did the home inspection within hours of signing the contract, wired the money into our attorney's account, Milet called the negotiator to tell her that we were sending her a new HUD for approval because we changed out the buyer and then we set the closing time!

So we closed this West Palm Beach short sale in the 11th hour, the day of the deadline to close on the approved HUD!

Then the buyer's agent called us right after closing to ask us to list the property sold in the mls straight away because his buyer was putting the condo back on the market- he is flipping the property.
Sold price $139,000. He put it back on the market for $190,000.

There are some good flipping opportunities for skilled and experienced investors in our West Palm Beach Condo Market!
