Lewis lost his job when the Recreational Vehicle Market had the worst downturn in history in 2009. Our unemployment in Elkhart County was the highest in the whole country at just below 19%. When Lewis could no longer make his mortgage payment I educated him on the value of listing his home and selling it as a short sale, so we listed his home.
If we would not have sold the home, Lewis would have either had to file bankruptcy or go into foreclosure. Instead we got no less than 6 offers on the property and the long negotiation process caused several offers to be withdrawn. In the middle of negotiations the mortgage lender sold the loan and we had to start over. From the first offer to closing was approximately two years.
Lewis said I kept him out of bankruptcy and foreclosure because I would not give up on the process nor would I let him give up. We closed on this property just a few weeks ago and Lewis is starting over with neither a bankruptcy nor a foreclosure on his record!
Who do you know that is struggling to make their house payment? Could be a co-worker or the Son or Daughter of someone you know?
