  • I never go to any houses alone, I take another agent, friend, locksmith or family member.......be careful!

    My prayers to this poor family.
  • My deepest sympathies go out to the family...

    I'll be honest with you guys, I have to go into REOs in the worst parts of Phoenix and I often wonder if there isn't some drugged up freak or killer in the home. Kind of scary for us agents these days.

    I have refused to go into 2 homes that were so full of trash and smelled so bad you could barely see into the homes.

    Be careful you guys!

    My prayers go out to the family..

    God bless, Mark
