        "text": "The timeline for buying a distressed property can vary significantly compared to a traditional sale. Short sales typically take the longest, often several months, as they require lender approval for the sale price. Foreclosures and bank-owned properties may close more quickly, but still often exceed standard transaction periods due to administrative processes. Setting realistic expectations regarding closing times is a key part of the process that our team helps clients manage across the South Florida region.",
