REO Services for Asset Managers and Private Investors
Pinnacle Real Estate Group provides comprehensive REO and default servicing throughout the Treasure Coast. Michele Lee Scherger, CSSE, GRI, CDPE — a trained HUD Housing Counselor and active NRBA member — has managed distressed assets in this market since 2003. Every agent on the Pinnacle team holds the Certified Short Sale Expert designation.
We analyze properties, build preservation programs, coordinate vendor crews, and manage disposition from initial occupancy through closing — with the market knowledge and servicer relationships that come from two decades of default work on this coast.
