Richard P. Zaretsky - Palm Beach County Real Estate Attorney- Residential and Commercial- opened up his law office in West Palm Beach Florida in 1978.
Nestor and I had lunch last week with Richard and his son Max who runs their short sale division. Richard Zaretsky is also an Active Rainer. He writes great articles on the particulars of short sales and foreclosures. Reading his blog will keep you busy and learning for hours.

We talked about the short sale business and how they run their short sale division and foreclosure defense divisions and how we run our company. It never ceases to amaze me that when we meet fellow Active Rainers it is like meeting long time friends you have not seen in a while. Of course no meeting with fellow short sale experts would be complete without exchanging war stories.
I was impressed at the level of knowledge of both Richard and Max. We feel comfortable in referring our clients who need foreclosure defense or loan modifications to Richard Zaretsky. They are professional and put their clients first.
Richard and his wife Esther who is also an attorney moved to Palm Beach County Florida in 1975. He was an assistant attorney general of Florida before he opened up his practise in 1978 and he has been in the same building ever since. He graduated Cum Luade from Deleware Law School Widener University. Mr. Zaretsky is AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, their highest rating for attorneys.
Richard Zaretsky is a member of Temple Emanuel and the Palm Beach Orthodox Synagogue. He has been a board member of the Jewish Community Day School, a past member of the Professional Advisory Committee of the Foundation of the Jewish Federation. He has participated in a lot of community service work.
His expertise in law includes all aspects of Real Estate Law including:

Richard,
Wonderful post. I was sure that your path and Katerina's would cross at some time, whether in business or in a cafe, that's another story.
I envy Katerina, I was thinking of meeting you, and I even was in your office, dropping the paperwork on my way to Miami, and then coming on my way back to sign something. I thought of asking your girls to call you, but I am a shy guy and I thought that it would not be nice.
I regret it sometimes.
Anyway, you are a terrific attorney and a terrific blogger. Not by volume, but by quality.
Now if you are in Daytona area, and if you are not as shy as me, give me a call, will you?
