A Tale To Tell

Foreclosure has become the buzzword of real estate in the last few years and according to most experts, we’re not going to see an end to it anytime soon. With foreclosure comes a lot of bad feelings – the fear, the uncertainty, the confusion, and the frustration at what is most certainly the most stressful things a home owner (or anyone) will ever face.

I should know. I recently went through a foreclosure. I don’t want to whinge and whine about how life is unfair or anything of that nature, rather, I’d like to invite you to read the post I wrote at AgentGenius about my foreclosure. I wrote it in an effort to let people know they’re not alone and although foreclosure can be daunting, it’s not the end of the line.

It wasn’t an easy post to write and most certainly isn’t a easy situation, but I’m making the best of it as much as possible. I hope my readers can gain a little insight into both myself and foreclosure from the post and gain some understanding of their friends, family, and neighbors that have been through it as well. If you’re out there facing foreclosure, be prepared – it’s not an easy road, but please don’t give in. Do what you can to save your home and if all else fails, try to find the positive in the negatives of it all. Although they don’t know it, I learned the positive aspect from one of my clients. They probably gave me more hope while I was going through it all than they could ever imagine.

I’d love to hear from some other home owners about their experiences with foreclosure and even the short sale process. These two are accounting for a lot of sales these days, in San Antonio and around the country, and I can only guess at how many of you that stop by daily have seen the effects first hand. I hope you all get through it and wind up in a better place in the near future. I know I will. Thanks.
