Stop the foreclosure madness!!!.....Stanislaus/San Joaquin/Merced Counties

By
Real Estate Agent with Beautiful Homes Realty DRE Lic. #01449964

Have you ever heard people say things like "those people who knew that they couldn't qualify for a loan and got one anyway "deserve to lose their homes!!"??  I have and I happen to strongly disagree!!!  No one deserves to lose their home!!  

And based on my experience as a volunteer of the NHLB (No Homeowner Left Behind) program in the CA Central Valley, I've seen how hard people are trying to save their homes!!  EVEN when they owe more than what their home is currently worth in contrast to what they owe on it.  I know I don't need to emphasize the importance of us getting involved.  The best thing in many cases, is contacting the existing lender to try and negotiate a way to keep homes from going into foreclosure or short sale.  I am lucky to have met a great deal of wonderful people in our industry who are working together in the community by volunteering many hours in an effort to help out.

I don't see how I can attach documents here on this site regarding this matter, but if you'd like a copy, email me......and on the Subject line put "Send Stop Foreclosure Flyers" I will email you the PDF files.  No questions asked, no strings attached and no obligation what so ever. I am not making any "guarantees" of saving homes here.  I am only trying to help!

The flyers consist of 2 sets (1 English & 1 Spanish) (incl. FannieMae) on:

*Avoiding Foreclosure.....details "options" available to consumers to lenders and ask for help

*Key Mortgage Terms and Definitions

*Escrow Accounts Provide You with Peace of Mind.......many times not having an escrow account is the issue.

*Trouble with your mortgage? - List of phone #s for several lenders.  As well as the HOPE phone # for Free Credit Counseling.

Have a wonderful day! :)

Addie,

It would be wonderful if we could slow down the foreclosure madness, unfortunately however, it looks like it may be continuing for some time to come.  However, as an ASP Realtor, you may be able to assist people in preparing their homes for sale, prior to foreclosure proceedings, so that they don't end up in the situation of losing their home.  You may want to put together a mailer in your local community letting people know that your expertise is in preparing homes for sale.  You may receive quite a few leads and possible listings out of it, because as we all know their are many people in financial crisis right now.  Best wishes!

Thanks, Michelle!

That's a great idea.  I've just recently become an ASP and have not sent anything out about it.  I appreciate the suggestion and good wishes.  Thanks for taking the time to send such a great suggestion.....we can use all the advise we can get :)

Go ASPs & ASP Realtors!!!
