Reports of foreclosures by the millions have been in the news so much over the past few years that to some, it might seem like the new norm.
But as a real estate professional that is in the trenches with financially stressed homeowners every day, it never for a second feels to me like business-as-usual.
The prospect of losing one’s home is right up there among the major sources of grief, and often, it goes hand in hand with other tragic setbacks such as the loss of a job, a divorce, death of a loved one, mounting medical bills or skyrocketing mortgage payments.
Unfortunately, the first stage of grief is denial, and that’s even more the case when the threat of foreclosure is looming. No one wants to talk about or admit financial troubles—even when millions of others have found themselves in a similar spot. It’s completely understandable, but for homeowners who are behind on mortgage payments, decisive action is often the most critical step toward ensuring the best possible solution.
As a real estate professional who has sought out the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, I help homeowners deal with the uncertainty that accompanies a mortgage which is no longer manageable. In the process, I help them to get on a path of financial solvency.
If you or someone you care about would like to change the course of a life that’s facing foreclosure, I get it and I can help.
