Facing Foreclosure in St. Michael Albertville Minnesota? Be Wise!

Several years ago, someone from the Albertville, Minnesota area called and told me that they had enlisted the assistance of one of the advertisers on television to get foreclosure assistance. (I cringed, sorry.)

Well, $4,000 later, money they could not afford to spend or they would have made the payments on their home, they were facing a sheriff's sale. We might have been able to save the home from foreclosure with a short sale. But, that money was long gone.

I cannot say that the people advertising on television that they could assist homeowners were con artists. But, I will say that other than cashing the check, they did very little to assist the homeowners who were desperate to keep their kids in this school district and to continue in their community and church.

When you or someone you knows trusts the advertisers to deliver, do you have complete confidence that even though they don't operate in your state or, even if they do, do they have your best interests at heart? Or, do you think they might want even more money?

Desperation takes many forms. And not wanting to contact someone in your community who might know you is very understandable when you financial future is at stake. Let’s talk a lot of sleepless nights worrying about how you can make the best of a really bad situation.

If you can take a step to contact someone who knows your community, that takes some intestinal fortitude. Those of us who work in your community have a far greater stake in your well-being and doing the right thing than someone out of state who cares little, if at all, about your property or you! I know that if I do the right thing by you, you will refer your relatives and friends. Being in this community means a lot to me. And, I want my friends, colleagues and relatives to know they can trust me to do the right thing. I work at it every day.

When you have a problem, right from the start, get the best advice you can whether from legal counsel, an accountant or a trusted realtor. I'm here if you just need an ear. And, I have many trusted advisors to refer you to, should you need them.
