Umatilla Florida Blog

Silver Beach Realty, LLC of Umatilla, Florida is pleased to announce that on June 23, 2010, it sold its fifth Umatilla area home in less than ten months.

The property, located in Umatilla proper, was listed by June Stienstra, junestienstrarealtor@comcast.net, of Exit Realty Tri-County, and sold by Geoffrey Presson of Silver Beach Realty, LLC. The home itself features three bedrooms, an in-ground pool and a separate guest house. It is 2,006 square feet, of block construction and was built in 1969.

The time from contract to closing was a rather lengthy 64 days due to mortgage underwriting delays at Bank of America, the integration of a new processing program there and by the rush of files being pushed through the pipeline in advance of the June 30, 2010 expiration of the Home-Buyer Tax Credit. The buyers were persistent and the sellers patient. The results: a very uneventful closing on June 23 which capped over two months of hard work by all concerned.

In addition to the coordination on the buying side of this transaction by Geoffrey Presson of Silver Beach Realty, LLC, valuable assistance came from another source as well. Brokers Title of Leesburg, Florida, http://www.brokerstitle.net/leesburg.html, led by Bonnie Rackley and Barbara Bowling, stayed on top of the multiple details of this dual-mail-away sale. They stayed engaged and went "above and beyond" several times to see this file through to closing.

Geoffrey Presson, of Silver Beach Realty, LLC, remarked that it is so important to remain focused on the ultimate goal and not allow buyers or sellers to become discouraged or distracted by the many "speed bumps" which invariably appear in the course of any real estate transaction. He also praised the professionalism of June Stienstra, who kept the sellers committed to the transaction despite several disappointing delays.

On a final note, this transaction would have never made it to the closing table without the skills of two fine Realtors: Jue Stienstra and Geoffrey Presson. Anyone contemplating a real estate transaction should always avail themselves of the knowledge, experience and professionalism provided only by a Realtor.
