My New Blog

I was watching the ABC News last night when a very interesting story came on about a family who was having a difficult time providing for their home. As most of American families are in this current recession with unemployment being so high, main income providers are losing their jobs and the banks aren't even willing to assist in loan modifications.... even after they took the TARP funds that was suppose to go to troubled borrowers.

Here is the link on the interview: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/abc-world-news-homeowners-angry-expensive-fixed-place-insurance/story?id=9919670

So what does Chase Bank do.... just increase your insurance premium by doubling it and then making a profit on it by forcing their insurance policy on you when you are struggling to even put food on the table for your growing kids, if this happens to you what would you do? Yes, we should all have insurance on our property, but having one that is doubling it then on top of that knowing the family can't even make the mortgage payment, come on. How about speeding up the process on all the short sales that you (Chase) have in your loss mitigation dept. Now I am not here to just blast on Chase, but thought this was an interesting story.

I hope the Guys Frank Garay & Brian Stevens from Think Big Work Small get a hold of this because they seem to have a good following.

Ran across this article regarding homeowner's that are in a situation and they go out and hire legal counsel to help them do a loan modification or potnetial short sale.... this is from www.King5.com as we all know there are good people and bad people in every single profession no matter what is out there.

Take the time to do you research, investigate, question, dig, probe and always get recent referrals and recommendations from past clients.
