//5 Key Lessons

1. Always start with empathy, not an offer: When someone's in crisis, sit at the kitchen table and understand their situation before pitching a deal.
2. Scammers prey on hope: If you're sending gift cards while living without electricity, it’s time to pause and reassess.
3. Listen for what’s not being said: Embarrassment and secrecy can be bigger roadblocks than bad credit.
4. When in foreclosure talks, posture like a partner, not a predator: Offering 12 options instead of one is how you build trust and deals.
5. Your backup offer should feel like a parachute, not a trap: Leave sellers feeling like they have options—even if you’re the last one standing.
