We had a guest speaker at our staff meeting this morning from Trott and Trott, the legal firm that represents many of the larger lenders in our area when they foreclose on properties.  I was able to learn a great deal from the attorney they sent to speak about the foreclosure process to our staff.  This evening I received a call from someone facing a Sheriff Sale in March on their home in Oakland County.  Based on the information presented at the meeting this morning I was able to (hopefully) give this person some advice that could likely help them stop the foreclosure and stay in the home they love. Being a Realtor is not all about buying and selling real estate.  Sometimes it's about helping someone stay in their home.

If you know someone facing foreclosure or having a problem making their mortgage payments, have them call us.  We're happy to give an honest assessment of their options.
