Exhausted. That’s how I would describe most of the San Francisco Bay Area homeowners who end up in my Alameda office. For months–sometimes years–they’ve been stressing and sweating through sleepless nights. They’ve been trying to figure out how to pay the mortgage AND the car note AND the utilties AND still be able to put food in their kids’ stomachs. Often, they’ve been buying groceries with credit cards. You do what you have to do to survive and keep a roof over your children’s heads.

They tear it off quickly and then look around, trying to guess if the neighbors saw it and if so, whether they knew what it meant.

Although it's not always a sure thing, bankruptcy can often be the alternative for dealing with a foreclosure.
