Al Palewicz has lived in Miami, Fla. since 1955. After graduating from the University of Miami with a Bachelor Degree in Education, he played professional football in the N.F.L. for four years after which he taught high school English within the Dade County School System for six years. During the 1990's aftermath of the Federal government's shutdown of numerous Savings and Loan, he concentrated on the foreclosure auctions conducted by the now-defunct Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) whose purpose was to auction-off the assets of the failed Savings and Loan. While representing an out-of -state client who had made a successful bid on a bulk sale of non-performing mortgages for seven properties, he became comfortable with; the foreclosure procedures of Miami-Dade County, zoning ordinances for the city of Miami, Coral Gables and Dade County, construction objectives of local builders, collecting estimates for repairs and subsequent bids from local contractors, and the concerns of numerous neighborhood associations.
