From Karyl’s Case Files:

A Pesty Deal Closing:  I was able to save a client's deal at the 11th hour before the lender pulled funding due to environmental concerns with the property.

I had learned that the pesticide concentration amounts on the soil were not toxic but in fact were necessary to the type of agriculture being performed on the land. Furthermore, I was able to assure the lender that the pesticides were registered with the State of Florida and the EPA and the particular amounts fell well below their regulatory guidelines. The information was crucial in obtaining the financing for my client.

Time is the Essence:  An investor group of local and foreign individuals and corporate entities, purchasing multiple franchise operations, were faced with a tight time frame to successfully complete the closing. I was able to help them select and set up their corporate structure, secure the financing with a global lender, and conduct the closing with the national franchise operator to satisfy all of their needs prior to closing.
