CertainlySold provides asset managers, servicers, and AMCs with single-point accountability on Central Florida REO assets — from first occupancy verification through closing. Our independent brokerage is built on years inside default field services, with inspection and preservation operations run to HUD guidelines.
An REO asset carries risk a conventional listing never sees: occupancy uncertainty, code-violation exposure, weather and vandalism risk, HOA liability, and a reporting clock that auditors will review. Disposition outcomes depend on the broker recognizing those exposures on day one — not discovering them at the first price reduction.
Our perspective was built inside that world. Before listing bank-owned property, Ray Nadeau operated a Massachusetts default field-services company (2008–2014): seven crews performing mortgage-late and HUD-compliant insurance-loss inspections, multiple preservation crews handling securing, board-ups, lock changes, and lawn maintenance to HUD guidelines, and repairs managed under an unrestricted Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License.
Today that experience operates on the listing side in Central Florida — where it informs valuation accuracy, preservation oversight, and the documentation standard on every assignment.
One accountable broker. Field-level oversight. Reporting your auditors will accept.
Assign the asset once. Each stage below is managed, documented, and reported within your platform and timelines.
Occupancy checks typically completed within 24–48 hours of assignment inside our coverage area.
Vendors perform; we inspect and verify. The listing brokerage and field-vendor roles remain separate on every assignment.
Field-services experience means exposure gets identified and documented early — before it becomes a code citation, an insurance issue, or a closing delay.
Violations, vacant-property registration requirements, and municipal notices identified and flagged to the client immediately, with cure coordination through independent vendors.
HOA obligations, assessments, and community standards reviewed at assignment — a frequent and avoidable source of loss on Florida REO assets.
Date-stamped photos, written condition reports, and completion verification in your required format. Documentation built to be reviewed, not just filed.
Coverage, response, and accountability never depend on a single calendar.
Over 25 years across real estate brokerage, mortgage origination, default field services, and construction. Operated a Massachusetts field-services company (2008–2014) serving the foreclosure pipeline — inspection crews, preservation operations to HUD guidelines, and repairs under an unrestricted MA Construction Supervisor License.
Co-principal and majority owner (95%) of CertainlySold under Maker Solutions Inc. Manages listing operations, marketing execution, and client reporting — ensuring every assignment maintains its documentation cadence and disposition timeline from intake through closing.
Local presence is an operational control: same-day drive-bys when conditions change, market-accurate valuations, and a principal who can physically stand at the property.
