Chris Auletta started his career in real estate with Century 21 in upstate New York and although he had a degree in finance, he had a passion for real estate and wanted to gain a better understanding of the business; as it related to the finance world.
During the 2008 recession, Chris focused his efforts on serving the community by assisting hundreds of homeowners in avoiding foreclosure by helping them successfully navigate the loan modifications and short sale process. Once the market recovered, he realized he could continue to help homeowners facing real estate challenges by helping them avoid the hurdles associated with the traditional selling process. He partnered with a team of general contractors and began financing and renovating homes in the Charleston, SC real estate market.
However, there is no place like home. It wasn’t long before Chris and his wife, Brenda, missed their home state and decided to bring their mission to help people get through the selling process back home to the Tampa Bay area.
