DAVID SERLE EARNS PRESTIGIOUS DESIGNATION TO HELP HOMEOWNERS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE
David Serle of RE/MAX Services in Boca Raton has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by "distressed" homes in the foreclosure process.
Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.
In the Boca Raton area, more than 670 homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges. Local experts say that even high-priced homes are not immune.
"This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales," said David Serle "It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure."
Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., said that Realtors® such as David Serle with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. These experts also may better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience, he said.
The Distressed Property Institute opened in January 2008 and provides training on-site and online. The CDPE is the premier designation for Realtors helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales.
"Our goal is to educate as many people as possible so we can help as many homeowners as possible," Charfen said.

So I was reading a post by David Daniels the other day as to how you can enhance your twitter page. I called him up, and I really think he did a great job. Take a look.

Thank you David I appreciate it now he is doing my email stationery as well. It is so important to brand everything you do on the web, and so I am revamping everything I do on the web to have that same consistent theme. Check out my website as an example.
I have several reasons why we need to get away, and get away a lot.
I do make fun, but I seriously love what I do, but in order to continue to be successful especially in this market you must take vacations even if it is a day or 2. I decided to take my family on a boat on a Thursday last week because I needed to get away we boated all through Boca Raton and Jupiter. A great day, and now I am even more refreshed.
We all know that the real estate market has declined and that foreclosures and short sales are on the rise. The problem with people being in trouble is that there are always some that will pray on those same people. There are many loan modification "scam" companies that charge upfront fees of up to $4000 to do a loan modification, and don't really provide much of a service if any.
Now the Miami Heat's players Dwayne Wade, and Alonzo Mourning are taking their show on the road, and helping educate people who are facing foreclosure. Here is a link to the interesting article. Kudos to Dwayne Wade.

City of Boca Raton Area Profile
Boca Raton Map - Demographics - Strategic Plan - Future of Boca
The meaning of the name Boca Raton has always aroused curiosity. Many people wrongly assume the name is simply Rat's Mouth. The Spanish word boca (or mouth) often described an inlet, while raton (literally mouse) was used as a term for a cowardly thief. But the "Thieves Inlet," Boca Ratones, appeared on eighteenth century maps associated with an inlet in the Biscayne Bay area of Miami. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, the term was mistakenly applied to Lake Boca Raton, whose inlet was closed at the time. The "s" and later the "e" were dropped from this title by the 1920s, yet the correct pronunciation remains Rah-tone.
The earliest known inhabitants of the Boca Raton area were the Tequesta Indians, who lived in communities near the ocean as long ago as one thousand years until the eighteenth century. The construction of the Florida East Coast Canal (today's Intracoastal) and the Florida East Coast 
Railway in the 1890s made the region accessible to a group of resourceful pioneers. By the early 1900s Boca Raton was a tiny agricultural community, many of the farmers specializing in pineapple cultivation. Amongst these were a group of Japanese immigrants under the leadership of Joseph Sakai, who formed a community along today's Yamato Road in 1904.
In May of 1925, the Town of Boca Raton was incorporated at the height of the Florida land boom. The town council commissioned noted society architect Addison Mizner to plan a world-class resort community. His exclusive hotel, known as the Cloister Inn, was completed in 1926 and continues its reign as a city landmark as the Boca Raton Resort and Club. Although many of Mizner's plans for the young community were squelched by the demise of the land boom in 1926, a few survive today-and his architectural style continues to influence the city.
One of Mizner's projects was a design for a city hall for Boca Raton. Completed by Delray architect William Alsmeyer in 1927, Old Town Hall at 71 North Federal Highway still bears the original footprint of the Mizner design, and was constructed using ironwork, tile, and woodwork supplied by Mizner Industries. Today the restored Town Hall is the home of the Boca Raton Historical Society.
In the 1930s and 40s, Boca was known for its winter vegetable crop, particularly the green beans which commanded a premium in northern markets. In 1942, the Army Air Corps established its only war-time radar training school at the site of what is today F.A.U. and the Boca Raton Airport. The facility brought over 30,000 servicemen as well as families and civilian employees to the tiny community of Boca Raton, with a population of 723 in 1940.
In the 1950s, the still small town played host to a safari park called Africa USA which opened where the Camino Gardens development stands now. E. G. Barnhill offered an attraction called Ancient America on the site of prehistoric burial mounds on U.S. One in the area of today's Sanctuary neighborhood. And the Winter Bible Conference Grounds-Bibletown-was established in buildings of the former Air Field.
In the 1960s, South Florida experienced another great land boom, with developments pushing the Everglades and former farmlands increasingly westward. The population grew to almost 30,000 residents by 1970, continuing to increase well outside city limits to this day. In 1962, Boca Raton attracted the newest state university, Florida Atlantic, to the site of the old army airbase. IBM moved one of its computer facilities to Boca Raton in 1967, and in 1981, it was there the first IBM PC, or personal computer, was developed.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the city focused much of its attention on downtown redevelopment, and a number of important historical properties, such as Boca Raton's original Town Hall and F.E.C. Railway Station were restored and opened to the public. Many fine cultural facilities, such as the Boca Raton Museum of Art, have grown up to meet the needs of the growing population.
I am the Vice President and Managing Broker for RE/MAX Services.

Jose Ramos, Delray Beach, FL
Thank you so much David for helping me through the short sale process. You and your attorneys really helped myself in a very trying time. ALthough it was a lengthy process you did a wonderful job.
Chris Impelitier, Lake Worth, FL
I never knew what a short sale was until I met you, and explained it may be a better option instead of facing foreclosure. You said the process would take around 60-90 days, and we were closed in under 2 months. Thank you so much. Your attorneys were great that helped us. Thanks again.

"David Serle is not just one of the best real estate agents I have met, but he is one of the best people I have met. I have bought and sold 5 Boca Raton properties from him, and he has me as a client for life."
Samantha Kaplan, Wellington, FL
"I am on the internet constantly, and I came across David Serle through his personal website. Normally, I do not warm up to people let alone use someone who I do not know or reffered to, but he was very professional, and represented me and my families best interest in purchasing a Boca Raton Home . I have since referred him many clients and they all would recommend David for all their real estate needs and services"
"David was very professional and took the time to show us all the places in our price range. He did not push us to a higher price, and allowed us the buyers to make our own decision. We would and have recommended him to others."
Bari Smizik, Boca Raton, FL
"David has beeen a good friend and confidant for years. He has the knowledge to lead us to a good decision. We have bought several properties from him, and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a superb individual who has the knowledge and cares about your best interest then definitely interview him as you will not find a better individual. Thanks Dave for all your help"
Chad Brofermaker, Boca Raton, FL
There are a lot of real estate agents to choose from, but I chose David Serle because of his professionalism and presence on the internet. You never know when you meet someone whether or not they have your best interest at heart, but from the very get go David definitely did. We bought a great home in Boca Raton and David showed us all the homes that fit our criteria. He gave us all the information including title costs, closing costs, survey, easements, encroachments, mortgage information, payment, and more, and then let us make the decision ourselves.
Anonomyous, Boca Raton, FL
Congratulations to David Serle who is now the Vice President and Managing Broker of RE/MAX Services. He is well on his way to improving the level of service and support for its agents through recruiting, and technology. Congrats David.
Joseph Brighton, Boca Raton, FL
I want to thank David Serle for helping us sell our home. We tried 2 other real estate agents, and had it on the market for over a year before contacting David. The minute he listed the home we knew we had a better chance of selling our home in this market. He was professional, efficient, and sold our home in less than 60 days. Thank you, and I would highly recommend David!!
