Florida Closing and Escrow
17070 Collins Ave APT 261, Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160
Dear John, Anthony, Paulina and Ariella
I want to express my thanks to John, Anthony, Paulina, and Ariella, for helping us from the beginning of the purchasing process to the closing. This was our first experience with a 1031 exchange with a 45-day deadline to identify properties. Initially, we searched in NYC but decided to switch to Florida a week before the deadline.
In Florida, the real craziness began. We were unfamiliar with the market, and the stress was overwhelming. Choosing a property and getting into the contract before the deadline was intense. Just five minutes before midnight on our deadline day, we were arguing over which three properties to select from the six we had seen. It was one of the craziest experiences I've ever had.
I thought I could relax once I met the deadline, but I was wrong. The home inspection reports revealed numerous issues: faulty air conditioners, no heating, non-functional plumbing, and more. Each time I panicked, I would call or email John. His friendly and reassuring tone always calmed my anxieties.
Just hours before closing, I discovered about higher association fees that were not disclosed in the Condo Rider, adding more stress.
Once again, John's calming voice brought me peace amid the chaos. You were not just my attorneys but also my "therapists" during this stressful process.
Thank you for helping us through our first 1031 exchange property. We look forward to my next deal in Brickell next week.
With appreciation,
