Working With David Zabarte

There are 5 main reasons that people buy or sell real estate outside of investment opportunities:

  • Births

  • Deaths

  • Marriage

  • Divorce

  • Job Change

Each of these situations generally involves stress, emotions, and arguably the most expensive asset that most people deal with in their entire lives and likely only a few times if that. Part of my job is to help navigate the waters of this journey and help folks with achieving the goal of getting from point A to point B without crashing the ship, or taking an unnecessarily long voyage.

I strive to be a resource for the local community and do my best to offer up my insights in regard to how I am seeing the local real estate market reacting to global and macro economic factors.While I am not a financial advisor, and definitely not YOUR financial advisor or planner… I pride myself on providing a balanced and realistic outlook for what is happening in the realm of real estate based on independent research and keeping abreast of the opinions of numerous financial analysts that focus on the real estate sector, global macro investing, the stock market and bond market, and the Federal Open Market Committee meetings that inform and influence the commercial banking sector which ultimately prints US dollars and sets the long term interest rates that definitely affect the real estate buying and selling market place.

Probate Sales, Trust Sales, and Distressed Property Sales

There are situations where property is held in a Trust, or needs to be sold in a probate situation, and whether or not there is a court confirmation required or the Independant Administration of Estates Act is in play, the Rabbit Real Estate Group knows how to handle these situations with great skill and care. There are often delicate or contentious situations brought on by disgruntled parties that require the engagement of calm, detached professionals who can execute the business that needs to get done with exemplary bedside manner, and we’ve had many opportunities to hone our skills.

The great financial collapse that dominated the real estate market with Short Sale and bank owned (REO) sales had provided a lot of opportunity to learn about the pitfalls and hidden landmines for purchases and sales that involved 3rd parties investors. David Zabarte has maintained the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation since the GFC. These types of sales represented more than 90% of the market during the GFC and we are starting to see an uptick in the market of these types of sales since 2023.
