The Long Mile Of The Mortgage Modification Business

By Adam Whazzer

Who is there to Help Those Who are Called to Provide service? I work at a Foreclosure Defense Law Firm which happens to also engage in the practice of Loan Mods. I am not an attorney nor am I here to provide or imply legal advice. The Loan Mod & Foreclosure Defense business has gotten a bad rap due to some bad apples in the bunch but there are some of us who actually care about what we do, the purpose which we serve and the commitment we make to protect Homeowners and their Families from impending Foreclosure.

It's terrible that myself and others like me are subjected to the grossly inaccurate and fictitiously skewed perspectives that is constantly broad casted by the news without conscience to the patriotic men and women who give up valuable time with their own children in an effort to restore stability to the family of another fellow American. The News as a whole has been quick to deliver stories that tell of bad lenders and what were once prominent mortgage brokers well on their way to becoming prison mates.

But what about people like myself, It is amazing to see how many of us really do have an impeccable work ethic and a true passion for whatever role we may be asked to fulfill in the name of providing support for the commonly labeled homeowner at hardship.

Not only do we deal with the misinformation of the self serving and often relentless broadcasters but many of us are faced with a tragic and sometimes devastating dilemma, the mortal fact that we are exactly that, we are only human. In my personal experience it has become difficult at times to walk away from my job at the end of the day. Every day at the Law Firm it seems there is a more horrible or unjust case than the last, but still they seem to keep coming, almost as if there were no end in sight. I am writing this to acknowledge the truth behind the old saying "Never judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes." and to add that "working a day in his suit might not be a bad idea either".

During the course of our own personal disasters, there is a lot to be said for the idea of taking a mental step back, and away from the situation or stepping outside one's self to reflect for a moment that there are many variables in every equation and sometimes all is not what it seems. This is the moral of the story, to better illustrate I will share something with those who took a moment to look a little further into this article. What most of you and many of the clients which I've made a diligent and valiant effort to assist have all most likely failed to consider, during the course of judging my intentions based on my statements is that I and the majority of our clients could actually be considered one and the same if you were to make a generalization or attempt to categorize me.

mortgage What do I mean by that? What I am making an effort to convey is that sometimes it seems like the worst enemy a homeowner can have in the courtroom is not the Lender threatening to take back the home and not even the Law Firm representing them. The worst enemy that many Homeowners face while facing a possible or impending Foreclosure is the enemy they find staring back at them in the mirror each day. That enemy is Homeowners themselves, in my experience it seems to be the most common recurrence among cases I have seen during my time working in the Foreclosure Defense industry. Homeowners and in many cases family members alike are so concerned with getting cheated that in reality they wind up cheating themselves. In conclusion I will provide you with the missing material fact which should re-calibrate even the most skeptical perspectives. In approximately 30 days from today I will be going before a judge in an effort to save my own home from a pending foreclosure which I have fought long and hard to overcome. The truth is that was my original reason for getting involved in the industry, I did it to find a solution for the Foreclosure that has been looming like a dark shadow of unknown demise over my own life. You see I too share all the same concerns and all the same fears as so many other American Homeowners do in this country today. You wouldn't believe how often people misconstrue the sincere empathy and sense of urgency which I often tend to convey. Many misunderstanding what they sense immediately defaulting to the negative which has been cultivated by our society today. This almost automatic defense system has left many Homeowners and their families almost completely defenseless and unable to protect their homes due to their inability or refusal to act. Yes I too may lose my own beautiful home, I may end up having to sacrifice my own sacred place. So in final it is with great sincerity that I offer this humble opinion. Never judge a book by it's cover because it might cost you more than you would ever consider it to be worth. - 31387
