I'm very passionate about being able to truly help someone get what they want in life knowing that I did my best for them never sacrificing integrity to reach a goal. I will always feel proud knowing that I did the right thing. Your real estate solution must be unquestionable knowing that your needs were foremost. Next to helping my clients achieve their goals, I hope that you are so thrilled with the service that I provided to you that you will want to recommend all your friends and family to me. When you think of a great Real Estate experience, I want you to think of me!
Passionate and dedicated in my chosen full time career in Real Estate, I will go beyond what it is that you expect from your Realtor and deliver results that will get your home sold or assist you in finding you the perfect home that you're looking for should you be interested in buying.
How can I help you?
I've 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 homesellers. As a Realtor here in Coral Springs and surrounding cities of Parkland, Tamarac, Sunrise, Plantation and Pembroke Pines, I've chosen to actively help homeowners who are facing foreclosures in south Florida's real estate market. Foreclosures have become a very troubling part of Florida's real estate market here in Coral Springs Florida and the surrounding counties of Broward, Dade and Palm Beach. We're constantly barraged with foreclosures; you hear about the rise in foreclosures on the T.V., you hear about foreclosures on the internet, you hear about foreclosures on the radio, you hear about foreclosures in the newspaper and you hear about foreclosures in conversations popping up everywhere. Yet you aren't hearing about what options that a homeowner may have. Many homeowners are facing foreclosure and they simply do not know where to turn for help in avoiding foreclosures however, one should know they do have options to foreclosure. One of the foreclosure options that I'm focusing on is helping a homeowner avoid foreclosure by seeing if they qualify for a short sale of their home. A short sale is when the lender has agreed to accept less than what is owed on their mortgage however, there is particular criteria that a homeowner must meet to qualify for a short sale. Selling a home through a short sale is a great option when a homeowner is looking to stop foreclosure. A short sale will not affect your credit as adversely as a foreclosure would. There are many stages of a foreclosure, from missing your first few payments right through to the scheduled auction date of your home that will prompt a foreclosure. Keep in mind that the foreclosure can be stopped right up to the day before the foreclosure is to be finalized at the scheduled auction date. With all this in mind, if you have questions or need help with your pending foreclosure, do not wait in finding out more about what your particular foreclosure options are and contact me via email or phone. Remember, not to let today's worries cast a shadow on tomorrows dreams and take the next step for help with your foreclosure.
If I'm able to help homeowners during this difficult time, I know I'll feel good knowing that a difference was made
It's also a very exciting time for First Time Home Buyers - the opportunities are wonderful; simply take advantage of one of the foreclosures or short sales in the market. 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.
Homes can no longer be sold by simply putting a sign in the front yard and advertising on the MLS. An aggressive marketing plan is critical in getting a home sold in today's market. I offer my Supreme Marketing Package that offers advanced internet strategies. I also understand the extreme importance of communication and keeping you informed along the way.
Also, being a part of the team at our Keller Williams Realty office, you'll have our entire staff backing your success. We feel that it must be a Win-Win or no deal.
"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."

"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"

Emma, it's so important for you to contact your Lender and discuss your situation. They may be able to modify your loan for you after loooking at your income and expenses offering you a new lower payment. They'll ask for all of your financial statements such as bank statements, pay stubs, etc.
In the event that your Lender cannot offer you a Loan modification your next option would be to sell your home as a Short Sale that will allow you to escape foreclosure. Should you desire more information on how Short Sales would work for you, please feel free to contact me as I'd be glad to discuss your options. Best of luck to you and I hope your Lender can work out a new plan for you! - Tue Sep 23 2008, 14:08
Cathy, it is true tha a Realtor representing you is critical particularly one who specializes in Short Sales. If you are in need of closing cost assistance that could definately be part of your offer as I've had Lenders who will pay closing costs. What you should offer will depend upon a number of criteria; one being as you have mentioned comparable sales but also your offer being accepted will be dependent upon what the Seller's Lender will be netting form the sale. If there are liens against the home, commissions to be paid and 1st and 2nd mortgages these will all have a bearing on what they will accpet from an offer. Get ahold of a Realtor who can guide you appropriately.
Best of luck to you. - Tue Sep 16 2008, 19:48
Mary, has your Realtor been receiving regular updates from the Sellers Agent? She or He should have. Whether or not you put an offer in on another home will all depend upon the contract, addendums and terms that you agreed upon in your short sale offer. Far too many Buyers think that they can put many offers on other homes and wait for the best to come through and will find themselves in a tough spot should a Lender approve an offer to their first offer and also have an offer on another contract. In other words, you'll want to confirm with your Realtor that you have an "out" in the purchase of the short sale. For example, contracts and addendums on my Short Sale listings obligate the Buyer to wait up to 60 days for Lender approval and if not received within 60 days either party can cancel in wriing. Many Realtors think a "verbal" cancel is okay and unfortunuately, if it's not in writing you are still bound by a legal contract. Check your contract.
But then again, if it's your DREAM home, why not wait after all, dreams don't happen overnight. Best of luck to you! - Sat Sep 13 2008, 12:33
Natalie, as the others have stated, sure the Lender sets the rules. However, there is nothing stoping you from negotiating with them to extend the time frame; I'd ask for 20 years and maybe they'll settle closer to the 20 years than the 5 years. I've had Lenders always ask for a shorter term on any deficiencies yet have always been able to negotiate for longer terms. They must think that you can afford the payment? Can you?
Good luck! - Fri Sep 12 2008, 17:41
Janice, Short Sales can really afford you a fantastic buying opportunity. When you are considering purchasing Short Sales you want to make sure that your Agent is up on Short Sales and knows the workings of them as he or she will need to know what to ask of the Seller's Agent and what to expect during the process. Without this, your transaction could possibly be more difficult than it ought to be unless you know the Seller's Agent is well versed in Short Sales.
When you're making an offer on a Short Sale your Agent will need to know the market as to what has sold in terms of the homes competition and will typically offer below the market value.
As far as time frame; this varies depending on the Lender of the Seller and the Seller's Agent. I've received approvals in less than 30 days and some have taken over 75 days; variance with me was due to the Lenders Short Sale process and their file load.
Concessions are a possibility. It will have a lot to do with how much room the Lender has to net what it is that they're looking for. If there are a lot of other costs such as unpaid HOA fees and unpaid taxes, the Lender may have less room to offer any type of concession.
As far as how successful Short Sales can be goes back to what I said before; the Sellers Agent. I've closed Short Sales and have had a great rate of success.
You wanted to know if its required that you use a particular Lender for your financing; I've seen this request with just a few Listings yet typically this isn't the norm from what I've seen. Your Agent would have to have the discussion with the Listing Agent.
I hope I've answered some of your concerns for you. You should know that Short Sales Sales really do work and all you and your husband will need is a little patience. If that's the worse that can happen for getting a great home on sale, you should be so fortunate! Best Wishes! - Tue Sep 2 2008, 11:23
I actively consult homeowners who are facing foreclosure and determine if they would qualify to sell their home as a Short Sale. Once qualified, I'll list their home for sale as a Short Sale.
