I had the pleasure of leasing to two gentlemen that are no longer able to pay their mortgage because the payments increased and are in the process of a short sale. They have been so nervous to go out looking for an apartment because they were afraid they'd be declined due to their recent late payments on their mortgage. It was such a good feeling to tell these gentlemen that McKinley cares about their situation and is willing to take a risk on them.

I had a gentlemen named Travis Perry come in over the weekend who needed an apartment right away. He told me he was going through a divorce and a foreclosure and was not sure if he would get approved. I told him that we had a foreclosure relief program and we could assist him with his new home. I told him that he could fill out a risk-free application when we got back to the office. He was so excited and thrilled that when we got back to the office, he filled out an application was pre-approved and he is moving in today. Another problem solved.

One of the most prevalent problems related to the foreclosure crisis is the number of families and individuals who are renting houses that are being lost to foreclosure. I recently helped a gentleman who called me after being referred by our county foreclosure department. He was renting a house and had no idea the homeowner was in foreclosure! We were able to move fast, moving him into a one bedroom within two days. He talked to me about how stressful it was for him, never knowing when or if he may be forcibly evicted. He told me that McKinley had made his transition easy and smooth. That was awesome for me, the epitome of what we're all about. I can't express how excited I was to hear the McKinley was once again on the front lines of helping to bring solutions to our country's foreclosure crisis, not just as an employee but as a member of this community.
