Eviction Notice - Part 1, Neptune Beach, FL

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

My day started off great yesterday: good workout at the gym, wonderful breakfast.

And, then, the phone call.

My buyer/s (engaged, she's here in FL, he's in the process of moving here) bought and closed on a house in Neptune Beach, FL on 2/15/13. 

She gave birth a week ago. 

Yesterday, eviction notices were posted to her doors. She was absolutely astonished, and called me to ask for my help. 

Now, I've not encountered this exact situation previously, so my first words were "Relax. It's most likely a misunderstanding. I'll be there within the hour, and we'll figure out a course of action."

Stay tuned for more updates...

Not exactly what this gal needs in her life at point, you told her not to worry, so she is in good hands.

Make it a great weekend!

Conrad - she & her fiancee own the house; suffice to say (I've got future posts) it's an intriguing situation.....it will all work out, but I think there are some lessons for us all.

Hi Carol. What a mess, your poor buyer!  Was the house a foreclosure?  I can totally see a bank with the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing!  I'll look forward to the next installment.

Carol, now I read both series. Having a baby is a major event; buying a home (and move) is another major event. Both could put your buyer in a very stressful situation; fortunately your buyer has a great realtor to help with the home purchase and eviction notice.
