    • “Thank you for assisting us in preventing our home from going into foreclosure. You worked with our lender and were able to get us a loan modification that lowered our monthly mortgage payment, as well as a payment plan for money that we owed for the past, missed mortgage payments. My family and I are now living in our home and not worried about being homeless.” D.B
