Glad to see you are getting alot of business from the HARP program Michael. I remember a certain thread I started earlier this year (408956 to be exact) when you had a different opinion. I am not sure about the housing industry in New Jersey, but here in Minnesota we saw a record number of foreclosures, a drastic decline in home values, and many people just walking away from their homes making the housing values decline even more. It was an epidemic here. The HARP program has enabled homeowners in my area to refinance into a lower rate and it has encouraged people to stay in their homes and ride it out so to speak. I have been closing these types of loans for almost three years and they are saying that Minnesota may have finally reached it's bottom and we are slowly starting to see things get better. I hope the HARP program will do the same in other areas acros the country.....and I know that as long as these loans are going on......we are going to continue to see a lot of business.
