VERY good coverage of the trash-out businesses. Usually, newscasts find dirt - even make it up.
I've worked in short sales for the past few years and 99% of my clients have been wonderful Americans trying to cope with a hardship...not the bad types that the press usually finds.
Now, I am helping homeowners modify loans easily/inexpensively...themselves.
Good work.
I just saw your piece of Fox Business News (if you are the same Mike Rockwood) and would love to be able to speak with you regarding becoming a client of yours for loan renegotiations (I also have a few other clients of mine who could benefit).
You can reach me at (661) 373-2338 or bankeras@me.com.
