You Can Stop House Foreclosure
As I sit here tonight, it has finally hit me that after 5 months of fighting for my home, I have been able to stop house foreclosure. My mortgage company received the final paperwork they needed and I can breathe, at least for a moment. It has been a long battle. One with obstacles still yet to climb. But for the time being, I’m going to enjoy the moment.
When I decided to fight for my home, I knew the battle would be uphill. I doubt that my story is like many who face foreclosure now. After my husband left me, I walked away from the house in a haze of pain and grief. As I realized that the house was not going to sell, I realized that I could not just let it go and with less than 30 days to the foreclosure sale date, I decided to fight for it.
It has not been easy and I have had to make a lot of hard decisions about what is important to me in life. Getting in touch with why I was fighting for it, why I wanted to stop house foreclosure, is what kept me fighting during the worst of it. My daughter and the kind of life I want to provide for her. Being able to plant flowers in my back yard. Having a home that I can call my own.
For those of you out there fighting for your homes, I want you to know that it is possible for you to save your home. The battle may be hard and you’ll probably come away with some scars but you can do it. I believe in you.

Great article. I am a Phoenix area Realtor myself who specializes in short sales. Prices are dirt cheap down here right now and it is without a doubt more affordable to buy rather than rent in most price ranges.
