“Often I walk into properties after the sheriff has just kicked a family out, and I still see a full coffeepot and breakfast on the table. That’s how quickly they had to leave,” says real estate agent xxxxx of xxxxx

really ... come on NO one is showing up unannounced and with NO warning ...

foreclosure doesn't happen overnight

imho agents spewing this nonsense would serve the market place better if they kept their pie holes SHUT

btw: I really hope thats a misquote or taken out of context

I think we are going to see these types of stories more often again just like we did around 2008 about all the folks losing their homes. This is just a paperwork snafu that of course the politicians are going to jump on to make it look like they are doing something. Which will make it even more difficult.

A friend of mine had a friend who had a cousin who got evicted. It happened so fast she was not able to finish diapering her baby. Poor kid had to leave the house naked in the middle of the winter. So sad.

LOL

I needed a laugh!

I see people staying in there homes without paying about 1 to 2 years here. People talk about it freely as if it is part of their game plan. I don't know a home. I work 60 + hours aweek to pay rent. It doesn't seem fair.

You're right. Its not fair.

All moral hazard was removed from the mortgage industry when the Federal Gov't repealed Glass-Steagall and decided to insure very bad loans which should have never been written and the organized crooks took advantage of it all.

What you're feeling is normal and understandable - when we see others "get theirs" "where's mine?" is the next question. When we see crooks benefit and even HIGHLY PROSPER at our expense, we see the injustice - it's so OBVIOUS.

Spin-masters are spinning and throwing facts and figures at us - threatening to blow up the economy if the Big Players don't get their way aka another bailout and more consolidation and less regulation and taxes.

While our kids walk to school because they cut bus service. While Social Security doesn't get a cost of living increase but food, rent, gas, and utility prices are jumping.

Where do we go from here, now that morality is OBSOLETE?

I just handed out CFK checks to tenants in a 3 family house. The tenants got a bigger check than I will get when the property finally sells.

Where is the house? I'll move in, you get the bank to give me CFK and we can split it.

Only kidding,
Seriously

The whole thing is being overly dramatized. What about renters getting evicted for not paying rent? Are they not losing THEIR "home"?

Where's the sympathy for THEM? Thats too commonplace; no one else to blame.

wtf?? I am sorry that I have no sympathy for renters who do not pay their rent and get evicted. That's how the deal works.

I'll bet it its safe to say thats already been done

I looked up the agent interviewed. Her website doesn't mention anything about her doing REO business. I don't know about everyone else but usually I'm the only agent within a mile when the Sheriffs go in. I've never seen someone with a meal on the table and I've done hundreds of evictions. I bet she's never even done an eviction!

Ignore all previous eviction notices = get thrown out while eating lunch, bathing baby, doing laundry, whatever..
