Twenty-five years ago today, our nation changed forever.

We remember the lives lost, and we remember something else too: the first responders and everyday people who ran toward danger instead of away from it. We've never seen a clearer example of what it means to put others first.

That value — showing up for people when it matters most — is one we carry with us every day.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

Florida just took the #1 spot in the nation for foreclosure activity. 1 in every 373 homes had a filing in the first half of 2026 — more than 27,000 total — and the growth rate is nearly double the national average (44% vs. 26%). This is no surprise as Florida held down the #2 ranking during the 2008 Great Financial Crisis (2009-2015), only second to CA.

Punta Gorda, Lakeland, and Jacksonville are seeing the sharpest spikes. If you're listing in one of these markets, a short sale can be the difference between a closed deal and a lost commission.

Foreclosure activity just hit an inflection point. National foreclosure starts rose 26% in April, referrals to attorneys jumped 39% by June, and by August, month-over-month starts spiked a staggering 150%. This isn't a blip — it's the market correcting after years of intervention.

If you're a Florida listing agent with a client facing this kind of pressure, a short sale can protect their credit, forgive the remaining debt, and still get you paid. LMS closes short sales at an 85% rate — more than double the ~36-40% national average — and we handle the entire file so you can stay focused on your client.

How many of your active listings have a seller who won't budge on price?
Before you blame it on stubbornness — run a diagnostic.
Data shows that a significant number of traditional active listings are sitting in pre-foreclosure right now. Most of those listing agents don't know it because the seller never told them.
Here's what's really happening: the seller owes more than the home is worth. Every price drop you're asking for means they'd have to bring money to the closing table they don't have. So they stall. And the listing sits.
That's not a pricing problem. That's a short sale hiding inside a traditional listing.
In a short sale the seller can drop the price below what they owe. The bank absorbs the difference. No money out of pocket for the seller. The listing sells. You save the commission you were about to lose.
Plan A stalled. This is Plan B. And it works.

The housing market isn't crashing overnight. It's cracking — slowly, quietly, and underneath the headlines.

43% spike in Florida foreclosures year-over-year. Inventory up 64% in Orlando and nearly 70% in Tampa. $347 billion in stale listings sitting without contracts. And 34.2% of sellers already cutting prices just to get a look.
The gap between what sellers owe and what buyers will pay is widening every month. That gap has a name — and it's a short sale.

Listing agents who recognize this moment and know how to serve distressed sellers are going to win while everyone else waits for the market to recover.

You don't have to navigate this alone. LMS works alongside listing agents as your expert short sale partner, handling the complexity from start to close.

What happens to a seller's credit score after a short sale?
This is the question distressed homeowners are afraid to ask — and the answer changes everything.
Foreclosure: 7 to 10 years of credit damage.
Deed in lieu: Same.
Bankruptcy: Same.
Short sale: 2 to 3 years. And with good credit repair, they can be mortgage-ready and buying again in that same window.
It's not a death sentence. It's a sting — and they save their credit in the process.
Most distressed homeowners don't know this. They assume foreclosure is their only option. The listing agent who shows up and explains the difference is the one who earns the relationship — and the listing.

Florida has more total foreclosure filings than any other state in the country. And the data makes it impossible to ignore.

44% surge in foreclosures — nearly double the national average.
Home sale activity down 30%+ from pandemic peak. Back to 2015 levels.
Distressed properties selling at 15–30% below peak value.

Florida now leads the nation in total foreclosure filings — and the data coming out of early 2026 should be on every listing agent's radar.
According to ATTOM, Florida recorded 13,683 total foreclosure filings in Q1 2026 — more than any other state in the country, ahead of California and Texas. Foreclosure activity is up 44% year-over-year, nearly double the national average of 26%. Home sale activity has plummeted more than 30% from pandemic peak levels, falling back to where it was in 2015. Distressed properties are seeing price corrections of 15–30% below peak value — significantly steeper than the broader market correction. And Florida now carries more active short sale listings than any other state, with over 1,000 on market.
For listing agents, this data points to one clear opportunity: the gap between what distressed sellers owe and what the market will bear is widening. That gap requires a specific skill set — pricing strategy calibrated for lender approval, timeline management against a foreclosure clock, and negotiation experience with loss mitigation departments.
This is exactly what LMS brings to listing agents as your dedicated short sale processing partner. You maintain the client relationship. We handle every stage of the short sale process — lender negotiation, documentation, timeline oversight — so nothing falls through the cracks.
With 750+ closed short sale files and an 85% close rate versus the 40% national average, we've built our track record in exactly this kind of market.
The agents who move now will be the ones writing the success stories when this cycle is over.

Southwest Florida listing agents — lis pendens aka ("Notice to Foreclose") filings across Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties are up over 72% year-over-year.
January jumped from 99 to 227 filings. And it stayed elevated every single month after that.
This region was already under pressure from hurricane recovery, skyrocketing insurance costs, and affordability challenges. The pre-foreclosure data reflects all of it.
These homeowners need help. Most haven't called anyone yet. The ones who do need an agent who knows exactly what to do next.
You don't have to figure this out alone. LMS works alongside listing agents as your expert short sale partner, guiding the seller through the entire process from start to close.
You bring the listing. We handle the complexity.
