Is your home at risk of becoming HAUNTED?



Over the last few months I have visited and talked to several past clients and referrals about the hardships that they are facing and the possibility of them losing their home. When the economy drops it brings other issues into peoples lives: illness, loss of jobs, separation, etc. I wish my visits were under better circumstances. I can't help much except to offer my time and support for what you are going through. And when it comes to options about your home, I can certainly offer my professional opinion.

I decided to write this after finding out from a past client that the bank foreclosed on their home. They were too embarrassed to call me to seek advice when they missed their first mortgage payment. They didn't know what options were available to them and decided to just give the house back to the bank. The sad thing is, they actually had equity in that home--About $60,000 in equity. Money that they certainly would have not all lost if they knew what steps to take to protect it.

When faced with the possibility of losing your home, please call me. There are several options to consider. Don't wait until after you have missed a payment. Call me when you think you may miss a payment. This will give you some time to consider the options and make a decision. We may not be able to save your home but we can certainly find ways to help reduce the waiting period for you to get another home in the future.

I'm here to help! (503) 310-4612

Can you help me spread the word about Olivia's Mission?


Olivia Salazar is the daughter of my clients, Alex and Mary Salazar. Olivia has volunteered to work as a teacher for one year at a Christian school for deaf children in Baja California, Mexico. Please read about her mission and pass this on to others. I know any donation amount will be much appreciated. THANK YOU!

To learn more about the school, please visit 
www.ranchosordomudo.org 
 
A note from Olivia’s mother:

“[Olivia] says she is super busy getting trained learning the spanish language along with the Mexican sign language that has to be used with the deaf Mexican children, and learning lesson plans. [...] She's told us that if it wasn't for this wonderful Christian school called Rancho Sordo Mudo, a lot of the deaf Mexican children would not get educated or learn about God. [...]

This is an awesome thing Olivia is doing because she is not getting paid. We are in awe and are very proud of her. She says she is doing this for God and for the deaf children of Mexico. She has to pay for her own apartment at the school and for personal and incidental expenses.

Olivia also mentioned that she is the only deaf volunteer and staff that is working there. Everyone else, except the kids, are hearing.

The school is owned and operated by Americans. They operate soley on volunteers and donations. Olivia's church, friends and family have donated money to her for her expenses. However, she is still short. [...] The donations to Olivia are tax deductible. [...] Olivia will be paying $250 per month for her apartment for the next twelve months, plus expenses for food, personal items and incidental expenses.”

To donate to Olivia’s Mission, please write a check to 
Olivia E. Salazar and mail it to:
Keller Williams Realty (ATTN: Elizabeth Ramos)
1915 NW Amberglen Pkwy, Suite 250, Beaverton OR 97006

 

THANK YOU!
