COMMERCIAL-INVESTMENT SELLERS:
If you are an institutional or private property
owner who wants to sell confidentially without having a sign placed on your
property or dealing with multiple brokers, etc. I may have a great solution for
you. If you are willing to provide enough information to perform a financial
analysis of your property, in most instances either I will be able to produce a
ready, willing and able buyer for you within 48 hours or I may be able to
purchase your property myself if it meets my investment criteria. My current
clients are always looking for distressed properties. If you are a lender with
repossessed property, I currently have immediate buyers for specified property
types and locations around the country. Please call me, or submit my
Seller Quick Response Form.
RESIDENTIAL INVESTMENT SELLERS:
I BUY PROPERTY & NOTES/DEEDS OF TRUST ON BEHALF OF MY CLIENTS
If you are a
casualty of the US economy, I may be able to help. Just don't wait until it's
too late for me to help you. Call me today. Just give me the numbers, location and
other necessary information and I'll be able to show you the money I'm willing
to pay. In most instances I can make an offer to purchase your property which
will be assigned to one of my investor clients. You are encouraged to have your
own legal and accounting advisors review the offer(s) you will receive from me
on behalf of my clients.

Need to sell NOW?
In Foreclosure? NO EQUITY? Other people telling you they can't help you?
Properties are more over-mortgaged today than during the Great Depression in the 1930s! Statistics show that a property owner in financial difficulty may end up losing not just their property, but a good credit rating as well! Don't let it happen to you.
I have solutions to get you
out of a property that is over-encumbered, where you're behind on payments,
have no remaining equity, are facing foreclosure or bankruptcy.....don't wait
until you're unable to save your credit.....let me determine if I can help you
avoid the excessive costs of banks & lawyers (although I do advise you to have
any contracts we may agree to reviewed by your own legal counsel.) Because of
my ability to creatively solve even the most difficult real estate problems
effectively for all parties involved, I have earned the business of many
investors who trust my judgment. You receive the benefit of dealing with a
licensed Realtor® who subscribes to a code of ethics that offers you additional
protection and two different avenues of recourse available prior to taking
legal action. Don't inadvertently set yourself up in a situation that is void
or voidable as to state law, but for which you would need to expend
substantial legal fees to resolve. It's always better to make sure that you
cover these potential problems by having your own legal counsel review an
agreement you make when you are under financial duress.
A word of caution: BE VERY
CAREFUL when you are dealing with people who call themselves real estate
investors, but who do not have successful track records or any professional
affiliations -- you are probably more likely to be taken advantage of
particularly if you do not have legal counsel.
They may also be required to have
a real estate license in Arizona and Florida if they are offering to help you
sell your property or using words to that effect.
See Arizona's definition of a real estate broker
here.
Unlicensed real estate activity is a 3rd degree
felony in Florida, effective July 1, 2003. On January 17, 2004 the unlicensed
activity probable cause panel of the Florida Real Estate Commission met and
reviewed 90 cases against unlicensed individuals, resulting in 45
administrative complaints, 15 cease and desist orders, 22 dismissals and 8 nolle prosequi. The State of Florida is serious about compliance.
Florida Statutes, Chapter 475.43, states:
475.43
Presumptions.--In all
criminal cases, contempt cases, and other cases filed pursuant to this
chapter, if a party has sold, leased, or let real estate, the title to which
was not in the party when it was offered for sale, lease, or letting, or such
party has maintained an office bearing signs that real estate is for sale,
lease, or rental thereat, or has advertised real estate for sale, lease, or
rental, generally, or describing property, the title to which was not in such
party at the time, it shall be a presumption that such party was acting or
attempting to act as a real estate broker, and the burden of proof shall be
upon him or her to show that he or she was not acting or attempting to act as
a broker or sales associate. All contracts, options, or other devices not
based upon a substantial consideration, or that are otherwise employed to
permit an unlicensed person to sell, lease, or let real estate, the beneficial
title to which has not, in good faith, passed to such party for a substantial
consideration, are hereby declared void and ineffective in all cases, suits,
or proceedings had or taken under this chapter; however, this section shall
not apply to irrevocable gifts, to unconditional contracts to purchase, or to
options based upon a substantial consideration actually paid and not subject
to any agreements to return or right of return reserved.
Substantial consideration, as stated in Florida law, has been
interpreted by Florida courts to be a minimum of one percent (1%) of the
property's value.
