Foreclosures With The Stars

July 29, 2008

Although it sounds like it would make for a pretty good reality television show, the problem with the premise is that it’s actually ..well…too real. Well many people have adored celebrities. People beome obsessed with celebrity and want to know what celebrities are wearing, where are they eating, what are they wearing, who are they dating, even who has been arrested.

So in an effort to have the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Blog be a little like the “Smoking Gun” crossed with TMZ, I bring you today, “Celebrity Foreclosures”.

The clubhouse of foreclosure is not an exclusive one. No all access passes needed here. Foreclosures are’nt just for middle or urban America. Foreclosures have gone Hollywood!

For instance let’s look at mega, or formerly mega, selling music artist Michael Jackson. He had an illustrious career and amassed a multimillion dollar fortunes with his videos and music. But unfortunately a lawsuit here a little boy in the closet there and a career in the toilet coupled with a lifestyle that needs to be fueled by millions of dollars and soon you have Jackson, and other stars knee deep in the same mortgage crisis that is gripping the rest of the nation.

“Celebrities just like normal American citizens can be living paycheck to paycheck too and can get in over their head,” said RealtyTrac Inc. Vice President of Marketing Rick Sharga. Read more

Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Foreclosure Expert Offers Free Consultations

July 27, 2008

I just heard about a foreclosure support group that was featured on CNN. It’s Called “Moving Forward”. Moving Forward is a non-profit peer-based support group for distressed homeowners whose goal is to goal is to help homeowners cope with the stresses created by the foreclosure process, and to educate homeowners of available options when navigating through the foreclosure process.

What is really interesting about Moving Forward is that it was created by was created by homeowners who are losing their house to foreclosure for other homeowners in very similar situations.

Each month, Moving Forward hosts meetings for the entire group wherein guest speakers, who are industry professionals, make presentations and hold prominent discussions on real estate, tax liability, short sales, personal finance, bankruptcy, and how to avoid foreclosure scams.

 

After hearing about this group I realized that it is an absolute shame that groups like these across the Country are not formed and spearheaded by real estate agents. After all, if we use the National Association of Realtors own statistics, nearly 90% of those in foreclosure had their homes sold to them by Realtors. Where are the agents who are lending a hand to help these distressed homeowners?

I am not by any means blaming ALL Realtors for the state of the housing industry but let’s be realistic. Read more
