Which is why we all need to reach out to them in whatever way, shape, or form is possible. Not just to try and buy/sell their home, or what have you, but to at least show them there are possible options.

Every case sure is unique, some are too far gone to be helped anymore (but in a way you also are helping them by giving them a time line heads up as to where they stand), and some will refuse, but the ones helped are worth it.

This is only going to get a lot worse….before it gets better.

Many people are completely ashamed that bad things happened to them. The fact is that we are a very judgmental society from how Britney looked at the MTV awards to Obama wearing “mom jeans.” I think it is perfectly understandable for sellers in distress to think that they will be judged…and harshly at that.

Feeling powerless to stop life’s circumstances as they come barreling your way is an overwhelming feeling.

Lesley,
Another great article! Many Realtors now understand this because many of us have been very close to or are now in this situation as well due to the economy and decline in home sales and resulting income.
Many a good person is experiencing foreclosures, or threats of foreclosure. Opening not just your eyes, but your hearts to support those with needs and using our knowledge to become problem solvers and negotiators, (sometimes with lenders). on behalf of homeowners is the only way we will recover. Great post!
