A Word From Cari Drolet - Our Founder
My company is Lotus Realty Group. I have been in the real
estate industry for 14 years, 4 years in which I worked as a
lender for Fieldstone mortgage and Wells Fargo. I have been
working with home owners facing foreclosure for almost 3
years. I launched Lotus Realty Group 3 years ago. My office
is located in Solana Beach, CA, 20 minutes North of San
Diego.
The Story of the Lotus Flower
The Lotus flower grows in the muddy water of still ponds and
lakes, and the plant has its roots deep in the soil under
water.
Our clients begin in the same position– deep in the mud, and
largely under water.
Gradually, through the process, just as with the Lotus
flower, we help our clients to see the light at the end of
the tunnel and gracefully blossom, one petal at a time.
Throughout history, Chinese poets have used Lotus flowers to
inspire people to continue striving through difficulties and
to show their best part to the outside world, no matter how
bad the circumstances may be.
This perfectly sums up our vision as a company – to help our
clients grow out of the murky darkness of what they're
facing, bringing beauty and light back to their lives.

Here are some helpful hints when in
the market for a short sale home:
- Check the public records
- Hire an agent with short sale experience
- Prepare the seller for lender demands
- Submit documentation and purchase offer to lender once the seller has accepted your offer
- Give the lender a deadline to speed up the process and to make sure you will be free to cancel your offer if need be
- Expect commission negotiations
- Reserve the right to conduct inspections
Here are some quick steps to
a successful short sale:
- The seller signs a listing agreement with a real estate agent subject to selling as a short sale with third-party approval
- The agent finds a buyer who makes an offer for less than the amount of the mortgage.
- Seller accepts the buyer's purchase offer.
- Seller's lender accepts the buyer's purchase offer.
- Transaction closes when the buyer delivers the funds, the lender releases the lien and the seller delivers the deed.
