Our real estate brokerage, Coastal Properties was established in 1991 with Joe Bettag becoming

The Company culture emphasizes taking an active role in the local and state Realtor
Associations with the former Broker/Owner, Pat Fitzgerald being a past President of the Florida
Association of Realtors and Joe Bettag taking leadership role on the Board of Directors for the

Joe Bettag has deep experience in REO management and sales starting during the S&L Crisis
along with five years as a REO Sales Manager for Ocwen. During the Mortgage Crisis starting in
2007, our office was managing and selling close to 200 REO files per year at the peak with a
large staff in place. We have a dedicated REO staff in place for accounting, inspections, BPO’s,
and property preservation and can scale up to meet any volume requirements. Our sales agents
can manage larger volumes of buyer inquiries, showings, offers, and contracts/closings. We are
experienced in completing short sales and do not outsource this process to any third parties.

our unique model used for loss mitigation.
