My Job

Well I have been at my new job for over a month and it seems to be going really well. It is just full of ups and downs. For those of you who don't know, I am a foreclosure counselor. People contact me who are in financial trouble and are either already in the foreclosure process or fear that it may be approaching in the future. Even those who are current on their mortgage and think they can't make a payment in the future can call me. I work for a non profit organization so the service of completely free of charge and you don't have to qualify.

After the client contacts me, I put together a budget for them and then determine if they can continue on with the mortgage, if it's affordable if I am able to "fix" the problem. If it's affordable, I negotiate with the mortgage company and try to find a solution. I have had a couple really good outcomes and a few people that I have unfortunately have not been able to help. It's such a stressful job but can be so rewarding.
