Tough Deal DONE in Weston, FL Bonaventure Townhome

Jason A. Kapit, Esq. — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:58:56 +0000

Successful Purchase for Juan Naranjo at Townhouse Village at Bonaventure

When Juan and his wife Rita decided to buy in Weston, they were looking for a deal! Like everyone else, they wanted to capitalize on a short sale or foreclosure and do so in a timely manner. Typically, distressed deals take an inordinate amount of time, especially short sales because of the 3d party (lender) requirements, verifications, BPOs and ultimately approval by the sellers lender that the shortfall amount will be accepted. *** this deal got done in 60 days!***

“I commend you and your team for a job well done. This was a tough deal and at the end all your efforts to close paid off . Thank you.” (comment from happy Buyer, Juan Naranjo standing next to “EWM Guys” team member James San Martin)

We have the tools, technology, law and business backgrounds and above all else, the attitude to get you the best deals out there. Call or contact us to find out what we can do for you!

Fantastic Buy In Plantation’s Westport For Zach Bird!

Jason A. Kapit, Esq. — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 22:58:04 +0000

EWM Guys Find The Best Values!

When client Zach Bird contacted us, he was looking for an aggressive Realtor who could really find a deal. Sure there are distressed properties priced painfully low. But Zach wanted that perfect home, the one he could say he “stole”. And “EWM Guy” James San Martin delivered when we closed on a pool and lakefront home in the Westport subdivision of Plantation, FL.

“Working with James San Martin and the EWM Guys has been a true privilege. No matter when I call they were there to answer my questions. This has been a unique and rewarding experience for me. I highly recommend the EWM Guys for any Real Estate transaction.”

Judge Bailey Lays Down The Gavel

Jason A. Kapit, Esq. — Tue, 25 May 2010 13:02:34 +0000

Sending A Message

Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Jennifer Bailey sent a message to every lender who presupposes that simply being owed money by a borrower is enough to circumvent laws, orders or anything else that under any other circumstances would simply not be tolerated in a court of law.

Eslava vs. HSBC

The substance of the case was this: A borrower was looking to his lender for a loan modification to make payments more affordable. Essentially unable to come to terms, the lender’s motion to foreclose was granted … but, HSBC (the lender) lost the note. Because of this, the court mandated that the lender post a bond to avoid any issues from another lender filing a claim against the borrower.

Trouble In Paradise

Long story short … HSBC never posted the bond and proceeded to foreclose, violating a specific court order. Eslava’a attorney Shaleen Khan, sought to overturn the sale based on HSBC’s violation. Outcome – let’s just say that Judge Bailey threw the book at William Huffman, who represented HSBC through Florida Default Law Group.

Ruling and What It Means Going Forward

Almost holding Huffman in contempt, not only did Judge Bailey overturn the foreclosure, she wiped out Enslava’s entire $207,000 mortgage! Bailey blasted Huffman saying in her order that she expects performance, not apologies and complained about the general “chaos and disorganization” of lenders and their lawyers.

Could Be A Landmark and Precedent Setting Ruling

What a shocker. And I thought I was the only one who thought lenders and those in the mitigation loss departments were clueless. Thank you Judge Bailey for finally sending a message. “Do your job or there will be hell to pay!
