Oh technology. I remember when the first cell phone came to market that looked like a shoe; big and bulky. Now, look at what cell phones are capable of...it's incredible. Whether you are tweeting or searching for help, you'll often rely on your Smart Phone to get you where you want to be.
As a Coral Springs Realtor and Short Sale Specialist, it's critical that my customers can find me when they want to find me. My Short Sale website for South Florida is available for the mobile Smart Phone user.
I have the new Palm Pre.... and I would say that "Smart" really doesn't sufficiently describe the phone. I initially purchased the phone as I was in need of a good GPS system and I thought, heck....why not get myself a new phone at the same time. I worked with my web designer to get my mobile site set up and running on my Palm Pre in order to be available for my on the go customers and it's brilliant!
If you haven't gone mobile yet, now's the time as Customers are smart and they want to find you when they want to find you; and that may be when they're on the run!
The more you know, the better prepared, the better the outcome.

A few months back I had posted on my Active Rain blog about a Buyer who became a customer of mine. She had come to me as she was searching for a Short Sale Realtor here in the Coral Springs Florida area. She had wanted to take a look at Short Sales and the Realtor she was working with at the time wouldn't show her Short Sales so she sought out someone who would and found me -
Lucky me as she's a Dream Customer! 
Read more about the post that grabbed Smart Money Magazine's attention.
I had received a call from a writer of Smart Money magazine to say that he found my post about working with Buyers who wanted to consider purchasing a Short Sale. At the time, we had put an offer in on a Short Sale property for my Buyer. She was asked to meet photographers of the magazine at the property and they took what seemed like a hundred photos she said. They selected a wonderful photo of her if you check out the August edition of Smart Money Magazine. I was mentioned in the article as the Specialist helping her...that was pretty cool too even if it only was my name!
Read the article and look under Reluctance from Brokers for mention of my Customer and me!
It's a great article on the ever present distressed properties and how they seem to encompass the market right now and how a Realtor should either get with the distressed property program or get out of the kitchen, so to speak! I will agree to that.

Since when is a contract between a Buyer and a Seller thought of as something filled with holes....loop holes, that is? I have always thought that when a Buyer signs a contract to purchase a Seller's home and deposits escrow, this is a legally binding contract...No? Why are we seeing an epidemic of Buyers canceling their Short Sale contract and thinking that they get to keep their deposit too?
Isn't the tough battle in gaining Lender approval? Not anymore,....it's in keeping buyers. Gaining Short Sale approval is the easy part. I've been faced with this recently when the Buyer just decides ....Ahh, I don't want to buy this house...forget it....just give me my deposit back and I'll be on my way. Hey, wait a minute...what about:
Who is encouraging this Buyer behavior? Real Estate transactions are a major purchase and before you sign on the line you ought to know what you're getting into. It's like we're living in the Wild Wild West.
My Short Sales are noted as pending when a Short Sale offer comes in and I do not take any other offers to afford this Buyer a fabulous opportunity to own this pre foreclosure home. Do I have to start to take multiple offers to add to the madness. It really has become a mad short sale world, don't you think?!

It has happened again. In reading the Sun Sentinel Broward County edition this morning, another story appeared where a struggling young couple was supposed to have lost their home at auction on Friday due to their home being in foreclosure. What's worse is that this is a young Marine who was stationed in Fallujah, Iraq and came back with injuries - where is his support? (That is a whole other blog post subject.) Their story clearly illustrated a hardship which would qualify them for a Short Sale.
It's just heart wrenching seeing this over and over again. So why do distressed homeowners like these who live in Sunrise Florida not seek out alternatives? These homeowners aren't alone here in Broward County like their distressed neighbors in Coral Springs, other cities and counties all over are going through the 
same thing. For that matter, nationwide, families are experiencing this.
So why can't we get the Lenders to play an important part and recommend Short Sales when loan modifications don't work out? They know that the majority of the time a Short Sale is beneficial for all parties over foreclosure. Don't they get it!
So why can't we get this information out to the public on how a Short Sale could possibly help them? We see all the devastating stories of what individuals and families are going through yet we aren't seeing the devastating stories with favorable outcomes. There are favorable outcomes and it's called a Short Sale. Are we a doom and gloom nation of news? (Another whole other blog post) Let's hear those stories so the word gets out. It could start with us here on Active Rain. We could tell more of our case studies that get approved. I just had two approved this week.
What about selling your home as a Short Sale? Here's more information on "Selling my home as a Short Sale"
So back to the homeowners struggling to make mortgage payments, don't let your home be foreclosed on. Seek out options.
The more you know, the better prepared, the better the outcome.

... as quoted by Henry David Thoreau.
We all like to think of ourselves as being wise and doing the right thing. What is it about life's desperate times that throws our wisdom out the window?
Many are experiencing very trying times as unemployment rates increase. Here in Florida they're approaching double digits. I bet the majority of us know someone affected by unemployment and being that our profession is Real Estate we all know how unemployment affects home ownership.
Many homeowners are doing all that they can to avoid foreclosure; they'll try to get their loan modified and if that fails they'll look to doing a Short Sale on their home. I've dealt with many a desperate homeowner who have reached out to me to help them in their times of trouble; they're showing the characteristic of wisdom.
Then there are others that buckle under the stress and throw it all to the wind. Such is the case, when foreclosure is threatening. How many homes go into foreclosure because a homeowner just gives up? They don't call their Lender, they don't look for options and they just do desperate things. Why do so many suffer from this condition of falling prey to desperate measures? Too bad there isn't a pill for wisdom. I imagine if there would be a pill our rates of foreclosure would be a lot less and we'd probably being seeing a lot more homes being sold as a Short Sale or loans being modified.
Why are we wiser when everything is going well for us?
If we experience enough desperate things in our lives do we eventually become wiser? Hhhmmm, is this what wisdom is all about? So when I tell my teenage son that wisdom comes with age, it really is a fact isn't it? Or does it come by the number of desperate things that one must endure?
Too bad that deperate times bring so many to do desperate things.
The more you know, the better prepared, the better the outcome.

My prior business experiences has always included sales.

Coral Springs FL Real Estate helping Sellers and Buyers with their homes. I, Lynn Pineda, lived here in Coral Springs Florida and South Florida since the early 80's. Coral Springs is an wonderful town to live in with all it has to offer. I live here with my husband and son and truly love my family. I can really appreciate what ones home means to a family. So many lasting memories occur in our homes - memories that last a lifetime. To be a part in finding someone their home to create memories in is a very satisfying job; in fact, I can't call it a job as I really love helping people to buy and sell their homes.
I work with all type of homeowner's and their Real Estate needs; home buyers, home sellers and a special focus on distressed home sellers and Short Sales. As a Realtor and Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) here in Coral Springs and surrounding cities of Coconut Creek, Parkland, Tamarac, Sunrise and Plantation, I've also chosen to actively help homeowners who are facing foreclosures in south Florida's real estate market; if this is you, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

I take pleasure in helping First Time Home Buyers find that perfect home to settle into and begin making new memories that will last a lifetime.

I think I found the best Realtor on the planet and her name is Lynn Pineda! When we decided to list our home with a Realtor, I did some serious searching for just the right person to help us. We were in a short sale situation. From the moment I first spoke with Lynn, I heard something different that I hadn't heard from other Realtors. Passion. Her passion for her job is amazing. She doesn't give up. She's persistent, compassionate, organized, conscientious, and thoughtful. If we had questions, she had the answers. She returned phone calls and responded to e-mails with lightening speed. She worked so hard for us, and kept me calm throughout the whole process. For all of you selling homes in this slow market, you know how stressful it can be. In football terms, Lynn was like a lineman to my quarterback. Linemen are the largest and strongest players on the field. (She's petite, but don't let that fool you!) She completely kept the "bad guys" away from me so I could concentrate on my job and my life outside the short sale. In closing, it is our pleasure to endorse Lynn Pineda. We are thankful for her expertise and knowledge during this difficult time of selling our home in a short sale. Regardless if you're buying or selling, we hope you'll have an opportunity to know her and find out for yourself as we have. Lynn is genuine, and she's out there to help you. Sincerely, Diana and Adam *************************************************************************************************************
If you are reading this testimonial, then you are probably considering putting your home up for a short sale, or even worse, letting it fall into foreclosure. And if you are reading this testimonial, you are probably considering whether or not to utilize Lynn Pineda as your realtor. The answer to that question should be "Absolutely!!" I had no choice but to put my home on the market in hopes of completing a short sell in January of 2009. This was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make and by far one of the most stressful ones. The real stress didn't start until the process finally began, and believe me it is a lengthy one. ***************************************************************************** Wow. I still can't believe it. You have no idea how grateful we are for your help Lynn. We are so happy we found you because now we know we could have never done this without you. Your persistence was what made this happen. Should you ever need a reference, we would be more than happy to help you with that or anything else you might need. ***************************************************************************** Hi Lynn, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the exceptional service that you provided to us on the sale of our property in Coral Springs. With the difficult economy and the numerous other obstacles we encountered, this was clearly not the typical real estate sale. Through it all you were enormously hard-working and helpful. Between locating contractors, handling repairs and dealing with a less-than-cooperative homeowners' association, you really did it all for us. We are genuinely appreciative of the significant effort that you put into selling our property. If we find ourselves with property in your area again, you are the first call that we will make! Thanks again for everything. Regards, Mike Murphy Michael R. Murphy ● Executive Vice President/COO ● Motorola Employees Credit Union *****************************************************************************
My husband and I recently worked with Lynn Pineda for the purchase of a condominium in Broward County. Our experience was great! Lynn is a friendly and competent professional. She is quite knowledgable in the area of distressed sales.
To anyone who may be thinking of using Lynn Pineda for their real estate needs please read the following testimonial
Recently I went through some tough times. I was taking care of my mother who had just undergone a cancer transplant and then had a stroke. I had also been in a financially destructive relationship which left me with nothing but foreclosures and debt. All my mortgages had fallen behind with the market changes, and all my properties were nearing foreclosure. I actually discovered Lynn Pineda through my search online for a short sales specialist. I called and left her a message, and she returned promptly and answered all my bombarding questions very kindly and professionally. I had a condo in Sunrise that was my first home I ever purchased-and I was so sad to see it go. I asked Lynn if she could manage a short sale on it even though we had already received the foreclosure papers for it. She said absolutely. All throughout the short sale process, Lynn was great about following up, answering all questions, and being professional and polite. She managed to sell my condo, and is now finishing up on a short sale for my mother as well on her condo. I could not have asked for a better person/agent to take care of my short sale than Lynn. She even recommended a good financial attorney to help me with my financial troubles as well. It's funny, but we almost consider her as family now. I would without hesitation recommend Lynn to anyone I know. Thanks so much Lynn, you rock. Sincerely, Jill H.
I couldn't have hoped for a better, more compassionate professional guiding me through this process. I know I was very difficult, demanding, and high maintenance at times. Never once did Lynn loose her patience, professionalism, and motivation to successfully complete this closing for me. In fact, the closing was delayed for several reasons, several times (which is very common) and Lynn never backed down or gave up even when I felt it was never going to happen. There are many so called "Short Sale Specialists" out there. Unfortunately, many are not and many have never even completed a short sale closing. Lynn is a competent professional and "Master of Her Craft" and truly knows how to attack these complicated closings in this most challenging of economic times.
Lynn Pineda will be at the top of my list when I finally decide to buy or sell a home again in the future, and she should be at the top of your list now.
Thank you Lynn!!
R. Eisenman
Because of you, we now feel we can move forward with our lives and start a family of our own. :)
Thank you again so very much from the bottom of our hearts!
With Warmest Regards,
Cathy & Alex
Lynn provided outstanding service. I would recommend Lynn and will definitely call her the next time we look for a property in South Florida!
Dee Mooney

Thank you, Lynn, for taking the time to let us know the end result. If only every other Realtor out here was as committed to your level of communication our business would be a hell of a lot more enjoyable. - Rick R.
*******************************************************************************************
We were very impressed with the thorough research you carried out, the excellent advertising and the hassle free manner in which the transaction was done.
Very best wishes for the future with your chosen career, which on the evidence of our experience, should indeed be very successful.
Yours sincerely,
Jack & Clodagh Kirwan
