12 Comments on Real Estate Can Be a Sad Business
How true. I have left appointments pretty choked up many times in the last few years. You did a nice job putting the emotion of the blog out there.
My heart goes out to families facing foreclosure. Good families can suddenly find themselves in a situation beyond their control. A short-sale is a better alternative to the long term conseques of foreclosure. It can provide an opportunity for a better future.
This is all too often the case in short sales and REOs. The real victims are the children. We, as adults, usually but not always have options. The children, have none. Very sad to see many of the homes and wonder what has happend to create the situation.
Richard. Very compelling. Some days you come across these situations and you think to yourself...not again!
Some days can be tougher than other but that note is sad because the family has lost their home.
Bob - It's nice to know you're a man with compassion. I hear too many people joke about these houses and situations.
Laura - Some homes are destined to go to the courthouse steps -- like this one. Too much money owed and too many projects unfinished. Very sad.
Terry - I always wonder how this type of financial distressed scars a child.
Charles - I think not only "not again," but "There but for the grace of God go I."
Thanks for your post. Those of us that have worked in the foreclosure sector for many years have seen evidence of many troubled families.
Richard, it's nice to be a part of a group of professionals that are represented by people like you. I feel badly for the families...and the children most especially. I agree with what you said...we have a very clear reminder of how fortunate we are.
Richard, I hate this part of it, years ago I had to preview a foreclosed on home that was owned by one of my kids friends and there were tricycles in the backyard, it still bothers me.
I'm sorry, that's sad... It's hard to think of people suffering
Richard - that little girl's note left me choked up - so sad. right now I'm counting my blessings because this can happen to any of us.
That is extremely sad. We forget that families have lived in those homes, and children are often the "friendly fire" victims in the banksters foreclosures.
