Short Sales in Port St Lucie Florida and Palm Beach county are found in abundance. The amount of listings on the market and in foreclosure in Port St Lucie is staggering. Prices are going down as well they should be. The market is correcting itself. It is a great time to buy- we are selling short sales!

 

short sale blessings in port st lucie florida

Each time our fax machine rings with an acceptance letter for one of our short sale listings we do our victory dance! We jump up and down and celebrate with a smile, a hug, a prayer of thanksgiving to God and a big sigh of relief for a fight well fought, a battle well planned and a victory foreseen!

This week we received 3 acceptance letters! While much of the market is at a standstill we are cooking those short sales.We are getting our full fee on 2 out of 3 of these acceptances.

Yesterday was a day that I will hold special in my heart for this one family that was approved for their short sale. The husband is a sheriff who works at a prison. He and his wife and their 2 children moved to Port St Lucie to build their dream home. But only two short years later the real estate bubble burst and suddenly the revenue for all the public  departments began to shrink. Due to poor planning on South Florida's politicians who went crazy spending money as if it was never going to end his overtime was gone and his salary reduced. The wife is a stay at home mother. So they had to move closer to his work. This is a very religious Jewish family that knows that God will help them through this new struggle. Their faith in Elohem or Yhwh has reminded me of who's work is at hand in our blessings. Their faith has been a strong example to me.

One of the obstacles we had was that the lender wanted to know why the wife did not work and why she JUST stayed home with the children. When I relayed this to the wife, she calmly stated, "It is no business of theirs whether I work outside the home or not. It is my duty as a mother in Elohem to raise my children to the light of Him." The faith that God would see them through this time of struggle in their life was nothing short of amazing. They have done without luxuries in order to fulfill their calling as parents. After I spoke with her; Nestor went right to management to complain about this negotiator asking the homeowner these types of questions. Suddenly, within 2 hours- we had an acceptance letter.

As I called the wife to let her know of the great news she exclaimed,"Praise be to YHWH, he sits on this thrown and blesses our lives and brought you to us as an intrument in his hands to do his work and to bless us thereby blessing you."

When Nestor and I were ready to do our dance of victory, her words rang true and caused a stupor in both of us for as we were celebrating our success, we became humbled. Chills ran up and down my spine as I contemplated the mighty hand of God in all things. We were humbled in understanding that through this family, we were brought to our knees with tears in our eyes in gratitude for all that is good in our lives and the blessing that this short sale was accepted and the Glory left us and was proclaimed to God.

What great news Katerina!  All of the hard work paid off and this family is now free from the burden of a mortgage payment they could no longer afford.  Well done!

Adriana- We do not accept NO from lenders. There is always a way to get it done IF you have qualified your homeowners for their hardship. IF that is the case, then they will close because you sink your teeth in and don't take no for an answer.

Katerina,

Great to hear that you have been able to close short sales. In Vegas many agents don't touch them because the odds of closing them are very slim, they say. Perhaps lenders are now getting better at it, at least in Florida.

Esko- No, their chances of closing are slim because agents don't know how to do short sales. We have been closing on short sales, it is not something that just happened. The first short sale we did was in 1995. It is all in 1. attitude and belief and 2. applied knowledge. Thanks for commenting.

Yvette- Of course, money is just a tool. I love money, don't get me wrong, I love all the good I can do with money and I know there is plenty of it for everyone no matter what the doom and gloom people say. We can attract whatever we want in our lives if we help enough people get what they want. Where service is rendered, payment is due, Proverbs.( forgot the chapter and verse), the means of payment may be different in different situations.

Tamara- Good for you! You need to consult with your client about how long they can take, then hope for two things, 1. that the listing agent knows how to do short sales and 2. the agent the lender orders the BPO from knows the market and does not blow your deal! That is the #1 problem we have, incompentant agents doing BPO's who have no stake in the outcome of the deal.

Castellum Realty- We won't touch rentals. Too much work for too little pay. Same with BPO's. Makes no financial sense to do either. Our niches are:short sales and luxury homes. Luxury homes still move!

Patricia Beck- Yes, they just wanted closure. They need to rent. It is just their lot for now. They may be able to change that in the future. But this is life. They are blessed in many other ways especially with their strong faith.

Katerina,

Bless you for all you are doing to help these people. I grew up in St. Lucie County, and I was very sad to see what happened there over the last 2 years. Many of my friends and acquaintences have been affected. You're awesome and I love reading your blogs !
