When we realized the scope of the housing crisis, we knew that it would take more than a traditional real estate company to deal with the complexities of the new standard of transactions.

We would like to introduce ourselves as the new Real Estate contributors to Panache Vue Magazine.

We are anxious to share our stories of what we see happening on the “front-lines” every day. The market is rapidly changing with new Government programs and restrictions popping up all the time. It’s our duty to stay on top of this and help explain all options available to our clients.

With years of real estate investing between us we began the process of educating ourselves with some of the most prestigious real estate and pre-foreclosure groups in the industry. Adding leading edge technology and a network of professionals in the legal, finance and tax industry helped to lead us to the opening of this cutting edge brokerage. Our proprietary process of handling short sales has resulted in 99% of our homeowners walking away with full satisfactions, owing nothing to the bank and is hands down, the best method for our clients and our community. This is why a large percentage of our customers are referrals from attorneys and other real estate professionals.

There are a lot of great agents out there helping clients through the “maze” of the short sale process. Unfortunately we also see industry professionals, (experts) that put their pocketbooks ahead of their client’s needs.

HomeFront Realty works to preserve the dream of home ownership for those who are looking to buy a house or experiencing the financial and emotional duress associated with an unwanted or financially unstable property. In our own way we are fighting for the American Dream by helping people find hope in a difficult time and by providing them passage to a better future.

The number of people losing their homes, something that is catastrophic financially and emotionally for individuals and their communities is alarming. Oftentimes, individuals facing the process of foreclosure or bankruptcy are confused, scared, and not well informed as to their options. Many people are unsure where to turn once the bank begins the foreclosure process. Often, they will seek the help of a bankruptcy attorney, or throw in the towel altogether. The problem is that when people make poor decisions based on misinformation, it results in ramifications that can last for years.

Mention the term short sale and most sellers’ eyes glaze over. The fact is that many sellers have no idea that a short sale is an option for distressed properties. Throughout Florida, these types of short sales are becoming common, especially for owners who bought at the height of the recent residential boom using adjustable rate mortgages. At the same time, many buyers are interested in buying homes from sellers in financial distress. However, most sellers and buyers are unfamiliar with the complex legal, financial and negotiation issues involved in short sales, which occur when an owner’s mortgage is greater than the current value of the home.

We know our business; we know what we do well, and we believe that we are the best possible solution for people caught up in circumstances beyond their control.

We created our company to address this gap of knowledge in the larger public by providing the information and resources to mitigate the damage a foreclosure will have on one’s credit and to assist those facing the loss of their home get a new start – at no cost to the homeowner. We work with a team consisting of Attorney’s, CPA’s, Professional Negotiators, Title Companies and Buyers and their agents.

A “Short Sale” may be your best option. HomeFront Realty can work with your bank to get your property sold, forgive any deficiency balance and have them pay your closing costs—depending on your situation.

Call HomeFront Realty for a confidential, no obligation consultation to see if a Short Sale could work for you.

Whether you are looking to buy a property, sell a property, or save a property, we can help.
