Foreclosure Angel: Stranger Buys Foreclosed House at Auction and Gave it back to Owner!

Foreclosure Angel A woman buys a stranger's foreclosed home... and gives it back to her. If you want to know more about this angel contact her on facebook and send her a message here: www.facebook.com Marilyn Mock Says 'People Need to Help Each Other' By JONANN BRADY Tracy Pottsboro lost her job and then her home when she couldn't make mortgage payments. On Saturday, she watched as her home was auctioned off in Dallas. "The final farewell to my house," Pottsboro said. "It means so much to all of us. It's not just a house."

From July through September of this year, more than 2700 Americans lost their homes to foreclosure every day, according to The Associated Press. In Texas, almost 9200 homes entered the foreclosure process in September. On Saturday, Pottsboro took her seat among the crowd, waiting for house No. 73 to be called.

When the No. 73 came up and the auction began, Mock said she asked Pottsboro, "Is it worth it?" "She said yes. & I just kept taking her word," Mock said. Mock ended up winning the auction, with a bid of about $30000. And just like that ...
