Orlando, FL -- Foreclosures across the country are reaching record levels. In Florida alone, many counties report an increase of 75% in 2007 from 2006 levels and the trend seems to be getting worse.
The pervasive opportunites offered by easy-to-get mortages, often with interest only loans, have now taken their toll on familes unprepared and ill-equiped to step up their payments with the higher interest rates. With some predicting higher than average inflation because of higher gas prices, coupled with coming interest rate hikes, what is a family to do?
One company in Florida has stepped up to help families caught in the crosshairs of the foreclosure epidemic. Consolidated Solutions Group, LLC, through their web site http://www.helpinghomeowners.info is providing homeowners nationwide with a list of services all designed to relieve them of the foreclosure stress.
One the options involves loss mitigation services, where the company intervenes on behalf of the homeowner, very often negotiating with the lender to get the homeowner better terms and allow them to keep their homes. Other families choose not to keep their homes and they just want out of the stress of the foreclosure and the negative, long-lasting mark it can leave on a credit report. In those cases, CSG turns to its list of certified investors who make a cash offer on the home, often within a week's time.
Other services include a lease buy-back option which keeps the family in place and provides the opportunity to own the home again when the family is on its feet again.
Christopher Westfall, a representative of CSG, says that helping families is a rewarding occupation. "When you hear the sigh of relief on the other end of the telephone, knowing that you've helped let someone off the hook for their overwhelming burden - it's a great feeling!", Westfall said.
Through their website, http://www.helpinghomeowners.info and through media campaigns, CSG is trying to get the word out to the entire country that just because you've been served with a foreclosure notice, it does not mean all options are ended. CSG encourages those with questions to contact them and a counselor will walk them through all of the available options at no charge.
Consolidated Solutions Group serves clients throughout the United States.
