Rich color of burnt henna
sparkle as rays of sunshine
rest upon his mane
springing forth majestic beauty
gently nudging his way
together with the rein
he knows where he is going
he leads with step ahead
he dances with the wind
and lightly touches heaven
Grand Prix of Wellington – One of the Best Places for Equestrians to Settle
Grand Prix of Wellington may actually refer to either of two equestrian neighborhoods in this corner of Florida. When you start roaming the beautiful streets of Wellington Florida, you may eventually notice that road signs are pointing to two directions when it comes to Grand Prix Farms. If, however, you are looking for a neighborhood that can offer a private, quiet, and luxurious lifestyle for you and your loved ones to enjoy then you have come to the right place to finally settle down.
The first of these two neighborhoods, Grand Prix Village, is just a stone’s throw away from Pierson Road. Grand Prix Village is every horseman’s – or horsewoman’s – dream come true because its wonderful range of amenities include features that are specifically designed to provide greater ease and comfort for those who count horseback riding as their ultimate pleasure.
The Grand Prix Village is hacking distance from the Winter Equestrian Festival’s show grounds. When the Winter Equestrian Festival begins, equestrians from all over the country – and the world even – come to Wellington in order to compete for dressage as well as hunter or jumper events.
Last but certainly not the least, professional players from all around visit one of Florida’s most beautiful areas in order to have themselves crowned as victors in polo championships - a game which most people today consider fit only for royalty and those belonging to the crème de la crème of society.
The facilities of Grand Prix Village, as mentioned earlier on, include those designed to provide comfort even for your stallions, mares, and ponies. The community currently has two well-equipped barns to provide shelter for your ride. These barns offer a total of 8 tack rooms, 64 stalls, 4 expansive paddocks, and 2 manure bins. There are also four sand rings as well as ample parking space available for homeowners who prefer the luxury of driving to the barn when checking on their horses.
If you are interested in viewing the other Grand Prix neighborhood, which is simply called the Grand Prix Farms then you should just search for Lake Worth Road and continue until you reach Via Christina, which is where this gated community is located. It also happens to be right next door to Equestrian Club, another expansive and lovely gated community in the area.
Ultimately, Grand Prix of Wellington – whichever village you do end up choosing – is the kind of place that a person will never regret living in.

Wellington Equestrian Exclusive Buyer Representation
When you are looking for a Wellington horse farm there are a lot of different locations and listings that you can view. The listing agent is of course going to put the farm's best feature front and center of their marketing. Remember that the listing agent has a relationship with the Wellington farm owner.
In Florida it is presumed by law that all Wellington Equestrian Real Estate Brokers are transaction brokers. This is not the same as fiduciary which is what you may be used where you are living now. Being that the listing agent most likely is a transaction broker may lead you to think that you may get a better deal if you work directly with the listing agent on an offer for a Wellington Equestrian property.
This is not usually the case. There is no cost for you to use the services of a Wellington Equestrian Buyer Representative. We will help you to see the different properties that are available for sale no matter who the Wellington Farm is listed with. This way you are not being pushed into buying the listing agent's listings in Wellington. You get a better feel for all the inventory on the market in Wellington and then you can see which horse farm in Wellington is going to be best for your horses and grooms.
Nestor Gasset is an Accredited Buyers Representative that works with Wellington Equestrian properties.
We just found a wonderful dressage couple from Canada a great farm that was perfect for their dressage horses. It has the right turn out and paddocks for their horses and it also is located in a farm area that fits the needs of our buyers. The sand ring has mirrors as a back drop so dressage trainers can come right to the farm and have all the correct elements.
The home is also perfect and the equestrian farm has a full time farm manager. This is very important to seasonal people who bring their horses here for the winter equestrian festivals and dressage events and training each winter and then go back up north for the summers.
We understand and know equestrian needs and we know the equestrian inventory here in Wellington Florida and Loxahatchee Florida. Now is a great time to buy your Wellington horse farm.

Wellington Short Sales- What you need to know before you sell your Wellington home.
There are many situations that you may be facing when the subject comes up in your house about whether a Wellington short sale is your best option or not. 
The most common reason that a homeowner does a short sale is because they are facing foreclosure.
Because this is the most common reason people do short sales it may seem to many people that you have to be in some stage of foreclosure in order to do a short sale. This is not the case.
If you are in foreclosure in Wellington Florida then the bank does want to try to work things out with you in regards to resolving your serious delinquency. Most of the time, when we are negotiating short sales for Wellington homeowners the banks are more agreeable in negotiating terms with you than if you are current on your mortgage.
If you are behind in your Wellington Florida house payments but not in foreclosure yet the bank also wants to give you the option of doing a short sale in most cases. This is a great time for the bank to save some money by not pursuing the foreclosure filing in the state of Florida but also a good time for you to do a short sale to be able to negotiate the best outcome.
If you are current with your mortgage payments many real estate agents, attorneys and friends will tell you that you can not do a short sale if you are current on your mortgage payments. This is not true in most circumstances. A lot of this depends on your bank and who the note owner on your mortgage is. So it depends on a lot of factors. But for the most part, most Wellington homeowners who are contemplating doing a Wellington short sale and are current on their mortgage payments may pursue a short sale.
If you are current on your mortgage but are in danger of becoming delinquent you are also a good candidate for a short sale. If you are depleting all of your savings and are laid off from work this is a good case to make to your lender that you really don't want to have a foreclosure on your credit report and you also don't want to go late on your payments. This is a good time to pursue a short sale.
If you are current on your mortgage, have tenants in your property but the rent does not cover enough to make your mortgage payments- you can do an investor short sale. We work with Wellington property owners and Wellington investors who have lost so much equity in their properties and can not get re-financed. If you are in this situation we have a lot of experience in helping investors get their Wellington short sales approved.
If you are current on your mortgage and do have enough money to keep making your mortgage payments you may be able to do a 'Strategic Short Sale'. In Wellington there are many homeowners who have lost equity in their property- some to the tune of 50% of their equity evaporated in the mortgage melt down and real estate bust in South Florida. Most of the time with strategic short sales you will get your best offer from your lender if you do go late on your payments. That is when the bank is going to make a move in looking at your short sale seriously. If you keep current on your payments your bank may require a larger cash contribution than if you are late or default. Again, it all depends on who your servicer is and who owns your note. They all have different guidelines.
The best thing to do is to call us- Nestor Gasset and Katerina Gasset at 561-753-0135 to have a confidential phone interview about your situation and we will go over your foreclosure options and Wellington Short Sale options. This way when you are having your next sit down meeting at your house you will have some actual facts to go over instead of just hear-say from good intentions of friends and family members.

Wellington Short Sale Agents!- Chase Short Sale Approval in THREE DAYS!!!
We closed within a few days of getting the acceptance letter and the buyers now have an Equestrian Center home for the Equestrian seasons here in Wellington Florida.
Hello everybody!
We wanted to take a few minutes to say goodbye!
We sold our home today to a very excited first-time homeowner. The reason we
want to say farewell is because we tried to be involved with this community
and got to know many of you as homeowners and friends.
We bought at the peak and saw the prices drop almost 50%, it was a bad
investment for us, just bad timing. We truly wanted to make of Carriage
Pointe our home for many years to come..., however we had no idea what we
were getting into (first time home owners) and although this homes are great
and we enjoyed enormously our house we did not expect to have such high
rates of tenants, then the maintenance and investment in the community were
compromised due to today's economy and just did not add-up for us, so we
have found a buyer for our home, of course we were "under-water",
fortunately the bank forgave us for the difference and we are free.
If any of you need advice, I recommend to do research and then some more
research, because every single situation is different and particular.
I truly wish all of you the best. For some the best is to find some kind of
arrangement with their banks, for some will be walking-out, short selling or
in some cases even foreclosing.
The market will pick-up, eventually, lucky those who have the time, money
and patience to wait.
To Jim, mil gracias. To all who have the best interest in CP, thank you. CP
is in good hands. It was nice to meet you all, the nice and the ugly and
even to the ugly I wish good luck...
I also wanted to recommend my realtor, she specializes in short sales, is
very professional and knows her business.
She understands the process, the way different banks work with short sales,
showcased my home very well, negotiated with my bank for them to forgive us
for the difference and I understand will be doing some seminars on short
sales soon.
Please know that I am not recommending a short sale for your property and
some loans don't qualify for this type of sale anyway.
You can visit them at: http://www.wellington-luxury-homes.com; in their
website you will find their contact information as well as some articles
about short sales.
If any of you ever need to contact me or Richard, please feel free to e-mail
or call @ (561) 503-0492. God bless you all!
Sincerely,
Margaret
Cordially yours

Nestor & Katerina,
I just wanted to thank you again for all your effort and hard work. I can truly say that I have never had a real estate agent work as diligently and persistently as you both did selling this condo. I really thought it would be impossible to sell the condo in this brutal market, but you somehow came up with multiple buyers and put a deal together. I will highly recommend you to anyone I know who is in the market to buy or sell property in the Palm Beach area.
You guys are the BEST!!!
Thanks Again!!
Sincerely,
Robert Tutunjian
Dear Nestor and Katerina,
I wanted to take a few minutes to write this short note and express my deepest thanks and gratitude for helping us with the sale of my home recently in Wellington, FL.
I was not entirely sure of how my situation with a home that was totally "upside down" was going to unfold, and I had no experience with the short sale process. There was very little information available on this subject on the internet, and the Realtors I spoke with prior to engaging you seemed to know even less than I did. You were clearly very knowledgeable about the process, and were able to describe the general flow of how things would work, and answered all my questions. You were able to put my mind at ease about the entire process, and made me feel confident that we could complete the short sale transaction. I am especially grateful for your prompt responses, and you were very easy to get in touch with whenever we needed to.
I wanted to thank you for dealing with the PMI company when they nearly derailed the whole deal. You were able to expertly guide the process past this snag and get them to accept the offer. And need I mention the last minute near disaster with the buyers on the night before closing? Yet again you intervened quickly and made sure that this transaction was completed and went through closing the next day.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone, as you carried yourself professionally at all times. You helped my family through a rough spot in our lives and helped us move on to a new and brighter future. I would be glad to speak to anyone in the future if they ever would like a reference.
Sincerely,
James Diehl
FLORIDA SHORT SALE SUCCESS REQUIRE LISTING AGENTS WITH EXPERIENCE AND DEDICATION.
A TESTIMONIAL FOR KATERINA and NESTOR GASSET of International Properties and Investments, Inc. in Wellington, Florida.
The first time I read in one of Katerina's posts wherein she stated that she and Nestor have a 100% successful track record closing their short sale listings, all I could say was WOW! To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. I know how difficult short sales can be for sellers, buyers, listing agents and buyers agents. I also know that, when compared with the complexity and degree of difficulty involved in listing short sales, a Buyers Broker's job is far easier.
Our job, as a Buyers Broker, may be complicated with new and different procedures for each listing, each approving lender(s), each property, etc. However, it's a piece of cake when compared with the complexity of the listing side of short sale transactions.
GO WITH EXPERIENCE! I am a firm believer in the value of experience, particularly for financial advice, products or services.
If a home buyer is in need of short sale real estate brokerage services, they should be seeking the services of a broker with successful short sale experience.
If a real estate agent or broker is in need of referring a home owner/seller in need of short sale services, it makes sense to make the referral to an experienced broker with successful short sale experience.
Last October 2008, I received a request for information about short sales. However, the property happened to be in Florida. So, I did what I always do when in need of help with any real estate matter in Florida, I contacted Bryant Tutas of Tutas Towne Realty, Inc. I refer all matters involving Florida real estate to Bryant Tutas. If it's a buyer, Bryant will either help the buyer himself or, if the buyer is not in his area or for some reason he can't help the buyer himself, Bryant will contact an agent who can.
When I contacted Bryant about the short sale prospect, he immediately contacted Katerina Gasset who is in the geographical area of the property. Katerina took over, listed the property, worked through a myriad of problems and finally, last week closed the sale.
I LOVE FEEDBACK. I got better and more frequent feedback from Bryant and Katerina about a referral about 1000 miles away than I often get from agents 10 miles away. I love feedback. Bryant kept me posted and Katerina would call when things looked like they might not work out.
THERE WERE A FEW PROBLEMS:
Ball 1. The property was listed for about $270,000. No problem getting a contract with the seller. The bank turned it down.
Ball 2. Cash buyer made offer of $235,000. Bank countered to $260,000. Buyer walked.
OVER THE MONTHS, THINGS BECAME A TAD TEDIOUS.
Strike 1. Tenant refused lockbox, access and made it generally difficult to show.
Strike 2. Owner tried to cancel listing and wouldn't communicate with broker.
NOT OUT YET!
The property went under contract in July and the tenant moved out in August. It appeared from the feedback that Katerina got tough with the owner who got tough with the tenant.
Over the period of the past 11 months, when the property would go under contract, Katerina or Bryant would call me with an update. Of course, they also called when a contract would fall apart.
The property finally closed for $235,000, the same price the bank rejected months ago.
I WROTE THIS RE REFERRAL OFF ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. I underestimated the tenacity of Katerina and Nester. They are a powerful, experienced, hard working team who know short sale processes as well as anyone in their market. Of course Bryant Tutas is in the same league which is why this referral had a successful outcome.
LAST WEEK, I got e-mail from Bryant that the property closed and the check was on the way.
THE MESSAGE IS, when making buyer or seller referrals, go with experience and folks who will keep you in the loop. You just might be getting a referral check in the mail.
THIS ONE IS LIKE FOUND MONEY
