Parkland Parrot Negotiates Short Sale And Gets Sun Sentinel Notice

Parkland Parrot Real Estate Team Helps Negotiate Another Successful Short Sale In Parkland, Florida

As we enter the new year, homeowners that are upside down on their mortgages are growing at rapid pace.  But, have no fear!  The Parkland Parrot Real Estate Team is here!

We are helping dozens of distressed Parkland and South Florida homeowners successfully negotiate with banks through the short sale process.  In the beginning of 2011, our team helped Fernando Incarnacao, and his family in Parkland’s Mill Run community, negotiate a full release of debt of his mortgage with US Bank.  It only took our team 4 months from the time we met the Incarnacao family until the January 4th closing date to complete the short sale process.

The Sun-Sentinel quoted our story in Paul Owers’ article: Short sales spike across South Florida in 2010.  Mr. Incarnaco was in tears of joy after closing on his property.  Now, he and his family can move on to the next chapter in their lives with a peace of mind.  Many homeowners that have lost their jobs or that are in financial distress and cannot make their mortgage payments need to seek the assistance and advice of a real estate professional and attorney that both specialize in short sales.Let’s face it … We all know at least someone that is going through tough financial times.  It could be a neighbor, friend, family member, or even co-worker.  Our team is ready to help answer any and all of their questions and concerns at no charge.  Remember, the bank pays for all of our fees and commissions.

It is great to know that we are able to help many Parkland and South Florida residents during these difficult economic times.

We know the numbers, we analyze the market, our clients make better decisions.  If you, or someone that you know, is interested in learning about the short sale process and looking for experienced local Realtors, please do not hesitate to contact us at 954-609-0591 or send us a message here.
