It Is a Shame When Foreclosure Takes a Home With Equity

Joan Cox There will always be foreclosures. Maybe not short sales, but foreclosures, yes. And the good news is in this real estate market, we can probably salvage the properties and return equity to the sellers if they would only call us (and not the "day of").

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I am aware of how they feel, but there are times I want to say, hey, why would you want to lose thousands? Just call me. I understand what you're going through. Life throws curveballs. Let me help. I'm cheaper than a psychologist and 300 sessions, and you don't pay unless you close and pocket profit.

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® Well, this particular seller had been filing lawsuits and trying to resolve this through the legal system, but she didn't think to call a Realtor to get a Plan B in motion.

Myrl Jeffcoat I suspect they just don't know what to do. They are more likely overwhelmed, feeling like they have no options and the lender has them by the throat. There is denial and anger. So I don't believe they are incapable of action, it just did not occur to them that they could sell the home.

Elva Branson-Lee Well, I would not say "nothing is sadder" because there are a lot of things sadder. Like Trump, for example, and death.
