Critical Reviews

"...evaluate your options and make smart choices." Publishers Weekly

"Straightforward and timely." Library Journal

"Loftsgordon suggests how to think about foreclosure and provides a number of pathways and options that people facing foreclosure can choose according to their own individual circumstances and where they live. For those who want to keep their home, she says, the best option is to work something out with the mortgage lender that will satisfy both parties. For those who are ready and willing to leave their home, she explains ways to follow a path that will leave them relatively flush rather than destitute. An appendix provides information about each state.." Eithne O'Leyne, Editor Ringgold, Inc. ProtoView

Your actions are vitally important if you want to keep your home, or at least get through the process with as little anxiety as possible. This book is loaded with tips on what to do--and what not to do--if you're facing a foreclosure.
