REO Knowledge That Makes Us Better Listing Brokers
We understand the full REO cycle — preservation, occupancy, servicer timelines, AMC documentation — because we've worked alongside it. Today we apply that knowledge exclusively to listing and disposition.
Certainly Sold is an REO listing brokerage — not a preservation company. Our principals spent years working alongside LPS and Safeguard Properties, which means we understand AMC workflows, documentation standards, occupancy issues, and servicer expectations better than most listing brokers. We apply that knowledge exclusively to pricing, marketing, negotiating, reporting, and closing REO assets throughout Central Florida.

From Assignment to Closing
Experience That Improves REO Disposition
We've operated on both sides of REO — which makes us better at the listing side.
Lead REO Sales Agent — Hanson Realty
Lead listing agent for REO sales and disposition during the Massachusetts foreclosure crisis. Thousands of distressed property listings managed from assignment through closing — pricing, marketing, offer negotiation, BPO completion, Cash for Keys, and direct asset manager communication.
Vendor-Side REO Experience — 7 Field Crews
Operated as an approved vendor to LPS and Safeguard Properties, managing 7 field crews across Massachusetts. This experience — not a current service — gives Certainly Sold unique insight into how preservation companies, servicers, and asset managers operate. We apply that knowledge to listing coordination and AMC communication on every REO file.
Repairs Plus — Kelly Nadeau
Kelly Nadeau operated Repairs Plus as a Tier 2 vendor to LPS and Safeguard Properties — experience she now brings exclusively to the listing and disposition side of REO. Her background provides firsthand knowledge of AMC documentation standards and servicer workflows that most listing brokers simply do not have.
