Everybody is doing something to help out these days.... Or should be!

This is a true statement. Everybody should be trying to help someone, because you just never know when it could be you that is in a situation.... A similar situation. When you walk the neighborhoods, you can see first hand - people are in a situation that is not just spinning out of control... it is out of control. And that is not being negative... that is truth. This market situation is no joke!

When I see the situation, I am constantly asking myself how can I help someone out? And yes I am an agent that needs to eat too. So I take my job serious. I will take that extra few minutes and sit down with homeowners that have been bit by this foreclosure situation and don't know what to do. They don't know who they can trust. They don't know what rights they have and they don't know where to turn. Yes, they can call the lender and yes, most have. The bank is not the only place you can answers, however, at the end of the day... I personally suggest you not ignore them - you need to contact that mortgage holder and talk to them about your situation.

The question is -- are the banks really helping or are they even trying that hard? Honestly, I don't see them working that hard at it, but either by the President's Plans and Programs or whether it be that you have a "good bank" or a "good person on the other end of the call", there is help out there for you.

The next question that I ask myself is: What am I doing to help? I will sit down and talk to the homeowner and offer my suggestions - of which my first suggestion is call your bank. I am never too busy to listen to someone and try to help. And I am honest about it, yes I need to eat too, but I am not going to sell you down the river to help benefit myself. As an agent, I make every effort to be honest and talk to my clients in a way that they understand my position. This is why I ask that when we talk you are honest about what is going on with you - be able to give the full picture.

There are more agents - other than myself - that are willing to try to help homeowners - just reach out to us.
