Stop Foreclosure – Controlling the Process
If you have been reading my posts here on my Blog, you know that rather than representing yourself in the foreclosure process I recommend that you hire the best person whom you can find to represent you. That may be a lawyer or an expert in the field.
I do that for a reason. You want to guarantee the best outcome for yourself and your family that you can. If you don’t have any knowledge of foreclosure, the law and your legal rights or how modifications are done, you are not going to do a good job.
Now when I tell you to hire the best person to represent you, I am telling you to use their expertise. They are your aide. You still want to control the process. Don’t delegate it to them.
If they tell you that they are submitting your application for modification to your mortgage company, follow up with them to make sure they have submitted it.
If they tell you that they are going to call your mortgage company on a certain date in the future, call them the day before. Remind them of the call and ask them if they need any more information from you. If they don’t call you shortly afterwards to update you on the phone conversation, call them again and find out about the call.
If a court date is scheduled, call them several days before and remind them of the date. If they are going to court on their own, follow up with them and ask them about the outcome.
Always remember that the lawyer or expert you have hired has many other clients. You don’t want them to overlook anything on your case because another client called and they forgot what they were supposed to do for you.
By taking charge and controlling your case you will get a far better outcome than you would have if you let your lawyer or expert do it. They just might drop the ball. Your case may be delayed. The outcome for you may not be as favorable as it could have been.
You owe it to yourself and your family to have your lawyer or expert do the best job representing you.
Much Success,
Mark Elkins
