You want to sell your home, but you aren't sure how it's going to go. Maybe you should use a realtor? It can be a great money saver. I recommend Dee Mathewson Irish Dee -- www.irishdee.com 770-696-3564

When money gets tight, and you can't make the house payment and also pay bills and buy food, what do you do? You have to make tough choices. I've been there.

Our first home in Oklahoma was given back to the bank, when we moved to Atlanta and rented it out. The renters moved out, and we couldn't manage it from this far away.
It took years to rebuild our credit and let that "foreclosure" get off our credit record.
Don't wait until you're in foreclosure to ask for help -- maybe you can find some creative ways to keep your home.
I know great real estate agents, mortgage brokers, and investors like myself who could help.
I also can recommend our church's food pantry, the Beth Day Memorial Food Pantry at Cobb Vineyard Church. 3206 Old 41 hwy., Kennesaw, GA on the first and third Saturdays of every month.

Rather get the donated food and put money towards needed medication and electricity -- but do let your church and neighbors know that you are struggling -- how can we help if we don't know?
I know it's hard, your pride takes a hit -- but there are so many struggling now just to put gas in the tank.

Losing your home is not the answer.

When should you ask for help with your house?
a. as soon as you get a pre-foreclosure letter
b. when the final letter comes and sale date is announced
c. after the house is sold on the courthouse steps

Hmmm? You would be amazed how fear makes people literally wait until it's too late.

The tide is turning, we got caught in the 1981-82 economic oil crunch... our house lost 50% in value overnight. We couldn't sell it, couldn't find a job for John except in Atlanta, so we rented our house and moved. All ok, until renters left suddenly. We couldn't manage it from this far away... did a deed in lieu, which basically is a foreclosure that you just agree to. Hard lesson learned... bought at high interest rate... can you believe 18%?? refi'ed to 12%... lost our hard earned equity... then lost the house. But God!! we moved to this area and have had work, blessings and great friends ever since. Be careful of saying "that could never happen again."

Foreclosures are up 120% in some areas. If you are facing those letters every day, let me help. I may be able to show you several different ways to get out of the situation with your credit intact. I don't take anyone's house away, I try to help them keep it if possible, and sell it if they want to, or rent it or work out a way to walk away with dignity and money in your pocket.
