ORC Closes Another Orlando Short Sale

Posted on by Jenny Zamora

  ORC closes another Orlando short sale. Jenny Zamora, Listing Specialist/short sale expert known for getting her listings sold in record time for top dollar has beaten the odds once again. Now…  I don’t write about every short sale listing our company closes [or I wouldn’t have time to write about other stuff] but I felt that this one is worth sharing.

This Orlando home was originally listed by an investment group that claimed to be short sale experts and promised to get the job done fast and efficient, and of course… free of charge. In reality, they were actually wholesale flippers that ended up dragging the homeowner into deep water.

The strategy of a whole sale flipper is to submit a low offer to the bank on a distressed home in hopes that the bank will accept the offer so that they can flip the deal to another buyer without having to close on it themselves. If it works, the flippers make a few thousand bucks the seller gets rid of their problem and everyone’s happy.

However, if the bank rejects the offer the homeowner is then left holding the ball. Once the wholesale flipper realizes that they can’t make money on the deal, they will typically move on to the next potential seller [or victim] at this point leaving the homeowner in a bad situation to fend for themselves.

Getting back to our story…The lender set a foreclosure date just 30 days away and the investment group bailed on her when they couldn’t get the short sale approved. After reading our online reviews, the homeowner came to us thinking that all hope was lost and her home would surely be foreclosed on.

After consulting with distressed homeowner, we accepted the file and Jenny Zamora went to work immediately on the short sale. By using all our marketing tools as well as blasting the property details to our network of active home buyers from around the world, she quickly got the word out and managed to get serious investor interested in the property for a price that lender was happy with.

By getting all necessary documentation to the lender quickly in an organized and efficient manner, they stopped the foreclosure process allowing ample time for the new buyer to close on the property. As a result, the lender issued a new short sale approval letter that gave the buyer 30 days to close on the property even though the buyer only needed 10 days to close. 

If you’re in need of completing a short sale on your Orlando home, please, please, please beware of so-called “short sale expert investors” that promise to save you from foreclosure. Be sure to research anyone you plan on working with extensively. Many of these companies are only out for their own financial gain at the expense of the homeowner. 

It’s important to know that unlicensed investors aren’t bound by a code of ethics nor are they subject to follow the same laws that licensed realtors are. An Orlando realtor is sworn to put the best interest of the homeowner first and if they don’t, they can be prosecuted and potentially lose their license.

Alternatives To Foreclosure Exposed!

Posted on by Jenny Zamora

Foreclosure can be a devastating situation for homeowners as well as the surrounding neighborhood. Despite an improving economy in the Orlando, Florida area, it is important that distressed homeowners are fully aware of all the alternatives to foreclosure that are available to them. As a certified distressed property expert [CDPE], I try to ensure that homeowners in foreclosure have the latest most up-to-date information available so that they can make the most informed decision possible based on their situation.


Although lenders have the ability to start foreclosure proceedings after one payment is missed they will usually allow a homeowner to miss up to three mortgage payments before officially starting the foreclosure process. A short sale can substantially minimize the damage to someone’s future loan eligibility, credit rating, security clearance, and even employment with some companies.

It’s important to know that a foreclosure can stay on someone’s record for up to seven long years. Now more than ever, distressed homeowners should take every precaution available to them to try and protect their credit.

A short sale is the most popular way to avoid foreclosure and save your credit. However, there are several other alternatives available to homeowners wanting to keep their houses.

1- Deed in lieu- Basically a voluntary foreclosure where the homeowner signs the property over to the lender instead of going through the foreclosure process. However, you should be aware that a “deed in lieu” will still show up as a foreclosure on your credit report.

2- Loan modification- This is when a lender adjusts the terms of a loan making it more affordable to the homeowner so that they can remain in their home. Loan modifications can be tricky and many times even though the payment is reduced, the principal remains the same or even more. The best loan modification scenario is when the lender reduces both the principal amount of the loan as well as the interest.

3- Bankruptcy- Usually, a chapter 13 bankruptcy is the best way to save your house from foreclosure. It allows the homeowner to make up missed mortgage payments through a repayment plan and get back on track. A chapter 7 bankruptcy, while providing some temporary relief from foreclosure, usually won’t prevent the foreclosure of a home. The bad news is that having a bankruptcy on your record is just as bad as having a foreclosure.

Consult with a Certified Distressed Property Expert

A realtor with a CDPE designation has the knowledge and the tools to efficiently and ethically pursue alternatives to foreclosure, especially short sales. In addition to specialized training in dealing with distressed properties, CDPE agents are connected to an entire network of other professionals in this niche which allows them to remain up-to-date on the complex and ever-changing Orlando real estate market.
