Keller Williams Realty

In early 2008, I realized I could no longer afford to keep my house. When I initially purchased my property, it seemed financially viable. But the cost of property tax, insurance, and maintenance, were items that I did not properly estimate.
Due to the falling housing market, I could not make enough selling my house to pay back the bank. I evaluated several methods of getting out of my property, including foreclosure and a short sale. With a short sale, you need to spend a lot of time negotiating with the bank and it’s a very difficult thing to accomplish. I didn’t have the time or knowledge to deal with the bank, so I tried to find a realtor who would deal with the negotiation process for me.
I spoke with several realtors. Some did not deal with short sales due to the uncertainty of making any money. Some were willing to sell a short sale property, but would not deal with the bank. And others were simply unresponsive to my calls. Fortunately I found Jerry LaRose via a Google search and he turned out to be the solution.
Jerry was very professional and friendly on the phone when I spoke to him. He was clear about the caveats of a short sale, but still agreed to try and sell my property. Fortunately he was able to meet me quickly, give me some useful tips on staging my house to give the best impression to buyers, and get the process started.
A short sale is very stressful for both the seller and the realtor. But Jerry remained optimistic throughout the whole process. He was always very communicative with me, and spent a lot of time discussing options with me in a clear manner. If I had any questions, he got back to me very quickly.
My bank turned out to be very reluctant in accepting a short sale, but Jerry and his negotiator managed to work out a deal with them. Jerry saved me from foreclosure and got me out of my property with very minimal effort on my part.
In this housing market, what Jerry accomplished with my property is astounding. With so many houses for sale in my neighborhood (most of them short sales), it is unbelievable that he both found a buyer, and worked out a deal with the bank. I have no doubt that Jerry LaRose is one of the most talented realtors in Central Florida. If you are trying to sell a house, either as a short sale or otherwise, you owe it to yourself to give him a call.
