Founder
AA Real Estate Group
https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-aa-real-estate-group
AA Real Estate Group is a collection of efforts and amazing team players, all focused around our main 4 Core Values of Integrity, Service, Teamwork, and Impact.  

Our JUST CAUSE:
We Fight for the Right for Every Willing Human To Understand Their Path to Financial Success.

We use real estate as our vehicle to #Impact and create win-win opportunities through solving problems & seeing hidden value, while leaving neighborhoods a better place than when we arrived.

It's broken into a few different efforts:

1. AA Real Estate Home Buyers:  

We work with owners of property who are going through any number of hardships and "Reset buttons" that life throws at us.  We don't buy every property, and we couldn't even if we wanted to.  We focus on building relationships first, seeking solutions second, and buying / fixing real estate third.  In that order.

For those that have worked with us, we pride ourselves on all our testimonials around our local markets of Greater Boston and Southern NH, where we are the area's #1 Home Buyer and we continue to work on assisting as many people as we are able with our huge network of professionals.

"Even if We Can't Buy, We Still Can Help."

2.  AA Real Estate Partners:
We strive to provide the best returns for our investors on our projects, be they a single family fix & flip, or a 30 Unit Condo Development.  With our strict underwriting, access to quality professionals and ability to "Shut Up And Do It," we pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence with our investors.

2.  AA Real Estate Mentor - Turning Your Hobby into a Business
We enjoy providing value to other fix & flip investors who are looking to grow their reach nationally.  We have a set of live workshops and an online course to help them get started and operate, less the huge learning curve and mistakes.  We also share our pitfalls and huge mistakes and lessons learned to show the power of mindset and how struggles turn into wins - if you use them correctly.

Short Sale Mitigation
https://www.linkedin.com/company/short-sale-mitigation
Having worked with multiple 3rd party negotiation services for our short sales, we ran into 2 recurring problems:

1.  Lack of consistent communication & follow through with our files, and

2.  Lack of aggressive "negotiation" with the lenders' loss mitigation departments.  (Many were "Approval getters", not "Negotiators".)

We took these two complaints we had, and established our own in-house negotiation company to service both our own short sale acquisitions, as well as for other Realtors and investors.  

We NEVER charge a fee to the real estate agent or the homeowner, and value professionalism, integrity, and client relationships at all times.

We are associated with a full time legal firm to assist us in keeping in compliance with all changes to disclosures & regulations in the industry, and are a completely transparent, full-disclosure company.

Due to FTC-MARS regulations, we are no longer allowed to specify our approval success rate, but I can assure you it's exceedingly higher than many you've worked with.  We are based in New England, but are able to handle files in many states throughout the country.  If you have a submission, let us know, and we can work to ensure compliance with state laws.

If you are an investor or real estate agent looking to hire an aggressive negotiation firm to work with the lender on a short sale transaction, feel free to contact us at Info@ShortSaleMitigation.net for details on how to submit your file.  

AGENTS - special commission rates may be offered, inquire when you submit your file!!

Black Diamond Real Estate Networking
We wanted to change the traditional "REIA" meeting and subscription model on its head, and we did it.

The area's first networking group wholly focused on making deals happen, attracting both intermediate and advanced investors with high level topics, all in a relaxed, social atmosphere built on passing referrals and making deals work.  We occasionally had 200+ people at our events, and we have so many who have done more deals because of this network.  

We thank all our supporters and are so grateful to have had this experience!  

In Sept 2020 - Black Diamond Partners did end, but we continued in a similar style and tradition with REI Unleashed - check out www.REIUnleashed.com for updates and topics!

Edible Arrangements
https://www.linkedin.com/company/edible-arrangements
This company specializes in preparing and delivering beautiful fruit arrangements, designed to look like flowers, to our surrounding community.  See more at http://www.EdibleArrangements.com .

Being a numbers person, the opportunity was one where I needed to pursue it.  It has consistently been a learning experience, but has helped me in many personal and professional ways no other opportunity could.

I purchased this company to learn firsthand the ins and outs of running my own business, and to eventually systemize the processes so it could run on its own.  My mother currently runs the store in Westford, MA (she is obviously a lifesaver!), and our manager runs our other store in the downtown Lowell area.  We have plans to open up at least one more, so stay tuned.

Owner
Rapid Property Relief, LLC
https://www.linkedin.com/company/rapid-property-relief-llc
Rapid Property Relief was formed with its primary goal to assist distressed homeowners who are facing a pending foreclosure by their lending institution, with a focus in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.

Homeowners DO have options when it comes to working with their lender, and our job is to show them their options, discuss what their best route is, and should it be in their best interests to sell their home, we work with them to purchase it ourselves, and utilizing our in-house negotiation and bank contacts, work to negotiate away deficiencies, promissory notes, and keep a foreclosure off their credit report.

With a network of attorneys, accountants, real estate agents and investors, we have the team and the resources to bring them out of a stressful situation, and to start fresh.

We also form partnerships with real estate agents in the area - if YOU are an agent that has a short sale listing, and can't get it sold, keep a buyer interested, or are afraid the bank will slash your commissions...  bring your client to us.

We will treat them with the utmost professionalism, keep everyone in the loop, take over ALL negotiations and operations, AND... we guarantee the agent 8% commissions, split between our purchase and resale.

        I have been very fortunate to meet Nick at A HAFA  Real Estate Class over 3 Years ago. During this time I was developing a Short Sale Short Sale Real Estate Busines that has grown due to the dedication of Nicks Short Sale Mitigation Company. He has a wonderful staff of professionals dedicated in serving people who were in need of selling their homes in distress situation. I was looking for a Negotiation Companythat could help me develop consistancy in my Short Sale business ,could follow through ,execute muliple transactions,and deliver results while providing great sevice to our clients .Today my Short Sales business has more than tripled because of his teams attension to detail and ability to deliver desired results .Since using Short Sale Mitigation I have never had a Deficiency Judgement awarded to any of our clients. Today I have a great team a of professionals that handle all my negotiations, so I can focus on developing my Short Sale and Real estate Business. 
Thank you Nick and Team Short Sale Mitigation RICHARD DALE-MESAROS
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        This guy gets it! Nick's whole approach is around "How may I serve?" and he has the integrity and right protocol that you seldom see in business these days. Nick is forever upbeat and brimming with enthusiasm for whatever it is he's working on. His affable nature and lack of ego makes him someone I heartily suggest you do business with......
