NAPLES — It was retirement incarnate. Then, the foreclosure lawsuit came.
Warren Nyerges, 45, left his law enforcement career and moved to Golden Gate Estates late last year with his wife. He was spending his days preparing his backyard for grass, painting the interior of his home and joking about the snow he abandoned in Cleveland.
“I’ve had nothing but a ball. To come down here, it’s a life dream,” Nyerges said.
To top it all off, the couple’s single-story, 2,700-square-foot home was paid off. Nyerges said he even offered $5,000 more than Bank of America was asking, quickly sealing the deal with title insurance.
But on Feb. 18, a man came to the couple’s home with a lawsuit. Bank of America had begun foreclosing on the property, and Nyerges’ dream was temporarily put on hold.
“I wish I could have taken my blood pressure the day I got served that thing, because I was livid,” Nyerges said. “I told my wife it shortened my life by 10 years.”
