JUST SOLD! A Nationstar Short Sale in Largo, Florida


Our most recent short sale success closed last week in Park Place Estates, Largo, Florida.  The seller’s lender was Nationstar, and our team overcame several obstacles, including negotiating counteroffers and inconsistencies with valuation from the seller’s lender.  The successful negotiations resulted in the seller being awarded a $3000 relocation incentive, and the short sale was approved with no deficiency to be pursued, and no promissory note due from the seller.  This short sale was approved by Nationstar just 67 days after the executed contract, and it closed only 9 days later.

The seller is very relieved to move on to the next chapter in life. The buyers are thrilled and looking forward to making this house a home for their family.  This was a “win-win” for all parties involved.

We pride ourselves in our persistence and negotiating skills to gain short sale approval from lenders and get our clients to the closing table!

We would love the opportunity to assist you with your potential short sale.  Please contact us for a confidential meeting to discuss your situation at 727-216-9247.

you are interested in buying or selling a home in Largo Florida, or the surrounding areas in Pinellas County, call us at 727-216-9247, or email info@DeborahWard.com.

JUST LISTED FOR SALE in Grove Lake Manor, Largo, Florida - 4 bedroom, 2 bath home

http://cometoclearwater.com - Deborah Ward & Associates, Keller Williams Realty, 727-216-9247, presents:

12764 139th Street, Largo, Florida, 33774



This is a great opportunity to buy a true 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car-garage home in desirable Grove Lake Manor. There is lots of living space in this approximately 1900 square foot home with both a formal living room and separate family room.  Built in 1958, the seller has lovingly maintained this home over the years, and the home still has many of its original "vintage" features such as terrazzo floors and pink porcelain bath fixtures.  Lush landscaping, a great layout and clean, original condition make this a super investment!  

12764 139th Street is conveniently located within minutes to shopping, restaurants and beaches.  Here's a tip - if you want to taste the best donut you've ever had, head over to St. Pete Bagel Company, just down the street on Indian Rocks Road. 

One of the most popular beach destinations in Pinellas County, Florida, is Indian Rocks Beach, which is just 2 miles from this home. Indian Rocks Beach, is a charming, artsy beach community with its own personality. You'll find beach bungalows and cottages on the side streets just off Gulf Boulevard, along with low-rise Key West style condo communities.  There are no chain restaurants here! Unique, independently-owned restaurants, cafes and bakeries offer you a taste of whatever you may be craving.
Here are some of my favorite places:
Cafe de Paris for homemade pastries and coffee - 2300 Gulf Blvd  Indian Rocks Beach, FL 33785
Guppy's on the Beach  for inventive Florida seafood dishes at great prices - 1701 Gulf Blvd, Indian Rocks Beach, FL 33785
Thai Pan Alley for "Urban Thai Cuisine" - 2300 Gulf Blvd, Indian Rocks Beach, FL 33785
