Cortland acquires title to condos through “friendly” foreclosure

Panama City Beach, Fla.– Cortland Loan Services LLC completed the acquisition of 117 luxury residences in the Origin at Seahaven Condominium in Panama City Beach, Fla.

Cortland, which acquired title to the units via recently completed foreclosure proceedings, plans to reposition pricing to reflect the realities of the current real estate market, and offer the remaining residences for sale in a lender close-out.

The ownership transition ensures the future financial stability of the project, and allows for the orderly retail sale of the remaining residences, with new list pricing that reflects an average cumulative discount of approximately 60 percent from peak market sales prices, says the company.

Says Dawn Dunlap, who worked as an onsite broker associate for the developer, “This was a friendly foreclosure, where the developer and lender cooperated with the goal of ending any uncertainty surrounding the project, which is great news for both current and future owners. New buyers will be looking at a stabilized building with a healthy association, at deep discount prices, without the cloud of foreclosure.”
