Why did I tell the world about my foreclosure?

This is a follow up to a blog that I wrote before about a Michigan foreclosure that I went through several years ago. I had a family that we're currently helping ask me this week "Why in the world would you put that out for everyone to read, it's such a personal issue?"

Great question. The answer- I want other people to know that they're not the only ones who are going through a Michigan foreclosure. As much as it is a personal matter, they don't have to go through it alone. Most importantly, as I stated in the previous blog, I want people to know THERE ARE OPTIONS!

Yes, going through a Michigan foreclosure was not one of the shining moments in my life, but, I made it through it- AND YOU WILL TOO. Don't do what I did and try to figure it out on your own. By the time I realized that I needed an expert's advice it was too late. Fortunately, now I have a vast knowledge of the foreclosure process, and I'm here to share it with you. Don't wait any longer - call or email me now.

I admire your courage and agree that more people should share these types of experiences.  If people had permission to talk about these kinds of difficult/embarrassing experiences they might prevent less desireable outcomes.

Kudos to you Emily!!!  There is such a stigma to going through something like that and many people are ashamed and don't look for options or do it so secretively they don't get the right people because of their embarrassment.  We need to understand the sensitive nature of this and let them know they are not bad people, they are just in a bad situation.  You have a great attitude, way to go!!!

Thank you so much for the encouraging words.  I'm truly grateful that I have the ability to discuss homeowner's options with them.  Hopefully it will save them from having to write a story similar to mine down the road!
