TAMPA, Florida – One of Tampa Bay's top real estate law firms has joined one of Tampa Bay's top radio stations to advise commercial and residential property owners about their options in a difficult mortgage market.
"Florida remains one of the states hardest hit by foreclosures, short sales and bankruptcies, and there is a lot of misinformation out there about the right way to deal with these situations. We hope to counter the misinformation with facts," said Christopher Boss, a partner in the firm Yesner & Boss, P.L. (www.YesnerBoss.com).
Boss will take calls from listeners once a month on the "Duncan Duo Real Estate Show," which airs on Newsradio 970 WFLA-AM. The hosts, husband-wife team Andrew and Angela Duncan, are top-selling realtors with Keller Williams Realty in Tampa. WFLA is one of the most-listened-to radio stations in the area, according to Arbitron Ratings. The station reaches a potential 3.5-million listeners in the Tampa Bay-Lakeland-Sarasota region.
"Homeowners in Tampa Bay are constantly looking for local information, and the focus of our new show is to help as many people as we can get the information they need about their … real estate market," Andrew Duncan said. "Our group of experts and regular co-hosts are going to include some of the best and brightest in the real estate industry."
Yesner & Boss has offices in St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota and Boynton Beach. In addition to commercial and residential bankruptcy, foreclosurse and short sales, the firm deals with mortgage modifications, family law, personal injury and estate law.
A record 2.9-million Florida properties received foreclosure filings in 2010, according to RealtyTrac, a national clearinghouse for real estate statistics. Of those, nearly 325,000 foreclosures are currently on the books. Two of the hardest-hit areas are Tampa Bay and the southeast coast from Miami to Jupiter.
"It's important that people go into these proceedings with accurate information and advice," Boss said. "That's where the Duncans and our firm will try to help."
The "Duncan Duo Real Estate Show" airs Sunday, Feb. 27 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
