PANAMA CITY, FL - January 30, 2026 - Panhandle Real Estate Investments announced the publication of a new real-life case study highlighting how the company helped a Southport, Florida family successfully close on an inherited mobile home that was occupied by squatters and facing foreclosure.
The story outlines a situation involving two heirs, ongoing occupancy issues, and a foreclosure timeline that continued moving forward while the family worked through probate-related complications. One of the heirs was incarcerated, which required the coordination of a notarized power of attorney to move the transaction forward. The home also required significant repairs, including soft spots in flooring, major kitchen work, and interior upgrades making a traditional listing unrealistic for the seller.
“Most people have no idea what to do when they inherit a property and immediately get hit with foreclosure pressure and occupancy problems,” said Peyton Saluto, founder of Panhandle Real Estate Investments. “Our goal is to handle the obstacles, simplify the process, and help families move on with a clean, respectful solution.”
According to the case study, the team worked through key challenges including:
• Coordinating documentation and signatures with an incarcerated co-heir through a notarized power of attorney
• Assisting the seller in navigating a lawful eviction process for squatters
• Communicating and coordinating around the foreclosure timeline to allow time for closing
• Completing due diligence and renovation planning so the seller could sell as-is without delays
The final outcome was a closed deal that allowed the seller to avoid repairs, reduce stress, and exit a difficult situation with clarity and peace of mind.
