2 More Houses – Another $170,000 of Debt Wiped Out

Last week, we closed on two different houses and my team made $170,000 of debt disappear between both of them. How is this done? This is done with a short sale. Don’t know what a short sale is? Well you can search this blog to learn more, or just give us a call. We’re really good at them though based on all of the testimonials you’ll find here and here. And here’s two more!


“My hardship started the summer of 2008. Unfortunately I went through a divorce and lost my job. My husband had left me the house and all bills. I owed $146,000 on the house. I made payments until I couldn’t anymore. Great Lakes Home Solutions stepped in and helped me out greatly. Their staff is wonderful and they bought the house and saved me from owing my lender $117,000.”

“We were living paycheck-to-paycheck and I was working 70 hours a week. Then I took a pay-cut and lost my second job. Great Lakes negotiated a short sale and effectively wiped out $53,000 of our debt. Throughout the course of this process, everyone at Great Lakes was sensitive to our needs and supportive. The communication was clear and concise. We truly appreciate all of their efforts and recommend their services.”

Working with an impossible situation my real estate agent brought in Joel and his team. With my wife passing away I lost not only a great partner but a third of my income. My parents were living there and had no monies to help with mortgage. Joel and his main person Emily did a very professional very very good job under some extreme circumstances and sold the property. They saved me over $106,000 in debt. Working with Emily and Joel was about as easy as it could get. Always up front about everything and always very friendly. I would highly recommend them for any situation that may arise.

“We are grateful to Great Lakes Home Solutions, Inc and especially Joel Zieve for saving us from foreclosure on our home. When we had given up and had prepared ourselves for a foreclosure we received a call from Joel. Joel helped us to work out a settlement with our lender which saved us about $108,000. Joel helped us each step of the way and made the process painless. Thank you!”

Rick and Sharon, Grand Rapids, Michigan


“Started out with a two mortgage debt ($286k and $70k). Having to move out west to take new job the house had to go up for sale. Depressed economy had the appraised value of the house significantly lower – house ended up selling for $140k. GLHS got a total of $146k debt released. Business with Great Lakes Home Solutions, Inc, specifically Joel and Emily has been great – made this transaction from out of state painless. Great recommendation from Beth Foley (our Realtor).”

G.L.H.S. was able to settle my mortgage of $107,000 for $31,000 saving me $75,000. I highly recommend this company”

“After depleting our savings, and with only Social Security, we had debt of $123,000, and not being able to sell the home because of the housing market – we contracted Great Lakes Home Solutions – and they helped wipe out our debt of $54,000. They explained every step in the process; I would definitely recommend this business to anyone. They were very pleasant and very helpful.”

2 More Houses – Another $225,000 of Debt Wiped Out

Last week, we closed on two different houses and my team made $225,000 of debt disappear between both of them. How is this done? This is done with a short sale. Don’t know what a short sale is?

“When Great Lakes Home Solutions Inc. approached me, I had gone through a divorce and was left with a house that I couldn’t make payments on.  The debt load was $204,000.  As a single Mom, there was no way I could finance this amount.  I exhausted all options. When Great Lakes Home Solutions Inc. contacted me, I was at my wits end.  My house had been listed for several months and nothing was happening.  The mortgage company was getting more aggressive. I just didn’t know what to do.  I met with Great Lakes Home Solutions Inc. and we discussed my options with what they could do for me.  They approached the bank and came to an agreement of a short sale of $101,000.   The bank accepted – what a relief!! When buyers came along who were interested things came to a close quickly.  I had $103,000 of debt wiped out because of their help.  I can now breathe. I would definitely refer anyone having issues with their house payment to Great Lakes Home Solutions Inc.”

Karen, Cedar Springs

 


 

“The minute Great Lakes came on board the ball started rolling much faster than it had earlier. Within weeks of signing on my house was sold with very little work on my end. I travel a lot and at times makes it hard for me to perform a lot of the functions that go into selling a house. The staff was knowledgeable and well organized. The original debt was $260,000. Settled at $138,000, which in turn wiped out $122,000 and saved me on foreclosure.”

I had the opportunity for Great Lakes Home Solutions to help me through my difficult time of facing foreclosure on my house. They were always in constant communication with me and helped make things a bit easier to face. My original debt on the house was $128,000 and they wiped out $78,000 that was owed after settling for $50,000. I am very much impressed with this company and can’t thank them enough for all their help and support.

Since I have received a letter from Great Lakes Home Solutions, Inc., my life has changed dramatically.  My house was in foreclosure and the sale date was only a few weeks away.  After talking to a few associates from Great Lakes Home Solutions, Inc, they had not only stopped the foreclosure, but helped negotiate a short sale with the mortgage companies.  I owed over $150,000 at the time and they negotiated a sale with the mortgage companies for only $52,000, which is over $98,000 debt wiped-out.  Furthermore, their team worked with my REALTOR to find a buyer and went to the closing because I could not be there since I was over 300 miles away.  I did all the necessary paperwork by email and mail.  I will definitely recommend Great Lakes home Solutions, Inc to everyone I know.

Another $176,000 Vanishes

“After falling upon hard times such as loss of income, bankruptcy, adjustable rate mortgage and increased family size, we were unable to afford our house payment. We tried multiple times to work with our mortgage company and tried to refinance with other lenders to no avail. We were facing foreclosure. We researched our options and found Great Lakes Home Solutions Inc. online. Emily, Joel and Dan worked wonders for us. Our original mortgage was for $138K. Our mortgage company was able to settle for $45K. Our total debt wiped clean was $93K. We now have a fresh start thanks to Great Lakes Home Solutions in. Thank you so very much.”

Shannon & Nicole, Lowell, Michigan


“Great Lakes Home Solutions Inc. was very open and honest and transparent with our situation from start to finish of going through foreclosure and its proceedings.  We approached them in a time of need and they answered the call and more!  They kept the process simple, communicated what we had to do and helped us realize we were not alone and able to help make a way out of our situation with our house.  Our original debt on the house after a previous refi. was at $168,000 for our ranch 3 bedroom home.  Great Lakes Home Solutions Inc. was able to take on the mortgage company and negotiate a short sale that allowed the company to find buyers and for us to walk away from this house with $83,000 in debt wiped out and allow us a way to find a new place to live and get our credit report to a better place.  Thanks to the Great Lakes Home Solutions Team!

Houses Are Selling – Debt Is Getting Wiped Out

If you continue to pay attention to the media, you may think the world is coming to an end at times. Not from our experience. Contrary to what you may be hearing, we’re working with our Elite Realtors® (and others) and selling (and closing) on houses at a rapid pace.  Here are two more testimonials about our team from recent closings.  We have 4 more closings scheduled at the end of this month.

Shut that TV off and let us help you too! Want to read more more testimonials? You’ll find them here and here.


“Emily and Joel at Great Lakes Home Solutions and the team at Assist2Sell were great to us. They helped us get out of the foreclosure mess that we were in after my husband lost his job and we fell behind on the high mortgage payments. They were all very knowledgeable of the foreclosure process. They were able to clear $12,000 of debt and got the mortgage company to settle through a short sale. They gave us the chance to be homeowners again. We would recommend this team to anyone. Thanks guys!

David & Bobbi, Hamilton, Michigan


“My wife and I moved to the east side of Michigan from Battle Creek due to a new job. We had tried to sell our house for two years without one offer. I saw the website online and called Emily. My wife was very skeptical, but we met with Great Lakes Home Solutions and we were immediately impressed. There were very thorough with explaining the process and communicated with us often. They were able to sell our house [including the short sale] in five months and were able to wipe out $56,000 worth of debt. We were very impressed and would recommend them to anyone struggling to sell their house.”

We appreciated all the work Great Lakes Home Solutions did on our behalf. We were trying to work with our bank, but couldn’t get through all the bureaucracy of the bank. Great Lakes Home Solutions was able to keep working with the bank to find someone who could make a decision. The original loan was for $140,000 which we could never have sold the house for. Great Lakes Home Solutions and Erin Cramer (Realtor) found a buyer for our home. The bank netted $58,400. Our total debt wiped out was over $81,000. Thank you so much.”
