Sarasota foreclosures (some at least) can be avoided if more informed real estate agents would adopt the “starfish” foreclosure prevention theory!
Helping people avoid foreclosure is not a lost cause.
In this short video, you will discover just how important it is to keep fighting to avoid foreclosure.
Recently, a few realtor colleagues asked me why I bother with short sales. To them, trying to help homeowners avoid foreclosure is a waste of time…too much work for too little reward.
Too much work? YES, definitely.
Too little reward? Well, it depends on how you define reward.
For me, reward is not the banks chopping my commission or the negotiating that drags on for months. The reward is helping people avoid foreclosure and debt collectors.
Personally, I have faced foreclosure twice. At one time, both were dead files.
Short sales had been rejected…buyers had walked away. Instead of throwing in the towel, I stayed with BOTH shorts. I didn’t give up.
Finally, I found new buyers for each & got the banks to approve short sales. Now, here’s this little story about a starfish — reminding me why I stick with (trying to) help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
It goes like this: “One day a man was walking his dog along the beach after a storm. The tide had washed thousands of starfish onto the beach. They were still alive, but just barely. A woman was making her way along the shore, throwing starfish into the sea, one by one. “Hey,” the man called out, “there are thousands of starfish on the beach. You’re not going to make a blind bit of difference!” The woman stooped, picked up a starfish and threw it back into the sea. Then she smiled at the man and said, “Made a difference to that one!”
Sarasota foreclosure prevention requires (accurate) information on what’s best for YOU and prompt ACTION. Unfortunately, I’m not able to help every homeowner avoid foreclosure. However, I’m helping homeowners (and their children) one at a time, and I’m making a difference. Call me now if you want to buy or sell in or around Sarasota. I want to help you.
