Riverwalk Residents Confronted With Foreclosure Embrace Short Sale in Lakewood Ranch Florida

As is the case throughout Manatee County and Lakewood Ranch, Foreclosures and Short Sales have become a hot topic. That's because nearly 50% of area homeowners find themselves in the precarious situation of owing more on their homes than their properties are currently worth.

Short Sales allow homeowners to avoid the negative impact of foreclosure, almost always avoid the long-term, overhanging debt of a Deficiency Judgment, and move on with their lives without the stigma and embarresment that many facing foreclosure feel.

First, be kind to yourself if you are facing foreclosure -- millions upon millions of good americans are in the same boat. Next, be proactive and take the steps that need to be taken in order to avoid a foreclosure -- foreclosures are nearly 100% avoidable if handled by a competent and experience preForeclosure Team. Finally, do not expect the problem to go away -- action on your part is required if you are to avoid foreclosure and successfully move on with your life and rebuild your credit.

The SaraMana preForeclosure & Short Sale Assistance Team has helped many area homeowners facing Foreclosure to successfully Short Sell their property, Avoid Deficiency Judgments, and move on with their lives.

It would indeed be a delight if a Spanish fifteenth and sixteenth century explorer prominent in Florida’s history, Juan Ponce de León, would have his imprints found at the Riverwalk community at Lakewood Ranch today. Far-fetched as it may sound, this community of five neighborhoods at Manatee County, Florida, shares some of the romance that de Leon has been associated with.

De Leon, after all is the explorer who sailed to the American continent in search of the mythical fountain of youth and reached this territory that he called “Florida” or the “place of flowers” in Spanish. Riverwalk, on the other hand, is a village that is laced with miles of nature trails linking its five neighborhoods to an assortment of lakes and woodlands that might as well have been the harbor to the fabled fountain de Leon was searching for.

But this de Leon myth notwithstanding, the reality is that Riverwalk today counts among the top choices for single-family Florida homes, particularly for those home buyers with a strong inclination toward a pristine, hometown community lifestyle. This community, one of the eight at Lakewood Ranch, is the product of a real estate master plan that transformed a former pasture and timber land into the US largest green home development project.

The green philosophy in real estate development is evident in all of Riverwalk’s neighborhoods—Meadow, Oaks, Ridge, Grove, and Hammock. Their residents are afforded splendid vistas provided by the Braden River bordering the community as well as by the woodlands and lakes in its environment. Within easy reach from each neighborhood are places like the Braden Nature Trail, Lake Heron, and Lake Summerfield for outdoor adventures that the spirit of a de Leon among residents would love to pursue.

An urge to get away and be lost in the lakes, nature preserves, and woodlands of Lakewood Ranch, nonetheless, can easily shift to community interaction and socials. Community centers and family pavilions are often just some walking distance. The real estate also takes pride in having four world-class and well-designed golf courses, two polo and cricket clubs that are just as classy, modern fitness and athletic centers, swimming pools, and other sports facilities for an active lifestyle.

Moreover, the conveniences of modern living are right inside Lakewood Ranch, particularly in its Main Street and Town Center that now host about 1200 business establishments. A modern medical center is also within the Lakewood Ranch real estate developments confines. Riverwalk too has easy access to both private and public schools that certainly have more to say about Florida’s de Leon romance.

Riverwalk homes for sale range in price from $200,000 to $400,000 and floor plans vary from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet.
