Gantry Wilson was named #1 Individual Top Producer for the third year in a row at Star Real Estate, among stiff competition from fellow associates who are ranked at the top in Orange County real estate. He is an expert at foreclosures, short sales and bank-owned properties. Working with 13 banks, he manages inventory from Long Beach to San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, marketing bank-owned assets, as well as processing short sale transactions for his clients.  “I have new foreclosure listings weekly and have a growing list of investors interested in hot properties before they hit the market. Because of this, I am also able to help my short sale clients find a buyer quickly, reducing stress in an already difficult situation.”

 Gantry is a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), a real estate professional with specific understanding of the foreclosure avoidance options available to homeowners. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPEs provide solutions for homeowners facing hardships in today’s market.  They have the tools needed to help homeowners in distress to find the best solution for their situation. When other options have been exhausted, CDPEs help homeowners avoid foreclosure through the efficient execution of a short sale. CDPEs don’t merely assist in selling properties, they serve and help  their clients in need. Wilson says, “The high success in short sales I maintain for my clients is a result of two things: My expertise with the process, through relationships developed with banks, and my ability to negotiate on my client’s behalf. Before taking action, I sit down with my client and review all their options, such as loan modification, loan repayment, or a short sale. Short sales are preferable to foreclosures; it allows my client to do the right thing, stop foreclosure, save their credit, and allows them to buy again within 2-3 years instead of the 5-7 years in foreclosure. If a short sale is inevitable, I have a specialist on staff whose sole purpose is to negotiate the short sale with the lender.”

 Gantry has assembled and leads a specialized team that provides enhanced services. “I provide the experience and expertise necessary to quickly pinpoint, research, and expertly capture the right property for each client’s needs. I am passionate about real estate, and sold my first house over 25 years ago, while still in college. Real estate is what funded my education at USC and enabled me to travel the world for 11 months, right out of college. I still travel. My wife and I choose one country a year that we want to visit with the children. Real estate is what gives me the freedom to pursue ‘whole life’ goals with my family, and I like to help others achieve that balance in their lives as well.” Wilson works investment real estate as well as residential real estate, helping his clients make sound decisions for their homes and investment portfolios.

Continuing to expand the breadth of his expertise, Gantry has been awarded membership in the Million Dollar Guild and  as a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS). Realtors who receive the CLHMS Designation have completed advanced courses and have demonstrated professional knowledge, expertise and experience in the field of luxury real estate.  Members of the Guild are specialists who have proven success in the property market for one million dollars and above. “I want to make sure I am doing everything possible to serve each of my clients needs.

This additional certification enhances my ability to serve.”
