Hello Neighbors. I have two amazing exchange students who will be attending
Cedar Ridge High School this fall who are looking for their permanent host family.
Please contact me for information.
Ammy is from Norway, and here is what her teachers say about her: Ammy is
such a sweetheart! She is so positive and cheerful, always smiling. She is very
warm, caring sweet and tolerant, a trustworthy and reliable girl. She is very family
-oriented and is close to her family .They do many activities together, one of
them is training karate. Ammy also loves sewing, being creative and dancing. She
is very excited to study a year abroad and hopes to get a good and close relationship with her host family. She will be an excellent exchange student. If youve
thought about hosting you might want to grab Ammy!
Emma is from Sweden, with wonderful recommendations from her teachers too.
Heres what she says about her dream year in the USA. I hope to get a new cultural experience and to experience the American lifestyle and the American high
school spirit. I hope to get some new perspectives of life and to give other people my perspectives of life. During my exchange
year I really hope to improve my English as well. After my exchange year I would really love to keep in touch with my host family and my new friends from the USA. I love sports and my family is a very active family that enyoy practice sports. I like to
dance a lot, and in particular zumba. I enjoy to play with my dog and to practice sports together with my friends. During my
exchange year I would love to try golf, and keep being active. I also enjoy listen to music!! I would really like to experience the
everyday American life with barbecues, Halloween, Thanksgiving etc.
Please contact me for more information about hosting one or both of these great girls. bev.thomas@efexchangeyear.org

Foreclosure Rescue
Preying on homeowners who are
behind on their mortgage payments and fearful of foreclosure,
this scammer assures you that
they can help you can avert a
foreclosure. Youre asked to pay
upfront fees and not to contact
your lender.
One scenario goes like this.
Youre asked to sign a temporary title transfer so you can stay
in your home by paying rent to
the rescue company. What often
happens is that once the company obtains the title, they pay
you an amount lower than you
could have received had you
sold the home on the market
plus, youre still on the hook for
Equity skimming
Equity skimming occurs when a
buyer convinces a seller to re-list
their home for an inflated
amount so that they (the buyer)
can obtain a larger mortgage
from their bank. What often hap-

Disorganized Cookie
Sheets
Fake Buyers
If youre attempting to sell
your home on your own
without an agent, look out
for people posing as buyers.
Heres how it can play out.
You get a call from someone claiming to live outside
the country. They tell you
they are moving to the U.S.
and want to buy your home
and will pay cash. Next,
they tell you they need your
bank information in order
to wire your bank the cash.
There is no cash. They have
no intention of buying your
home. They wanted access
to your bank information to
try to take money out of
your account, not put
money into it.

your open house and know details about your home and situation. The ruse goes like this.
This person claims to be an
agent representing an interested
buyer. They try to negotiate a
price with you. You tell them
youre interested. They then tell
you theres a commission. If you
refuse to pay the commission
they threaten to sue, claiming
theyre entitled to a finders fee,
since they introduced you to a
buyer. Why is this bogus? Sellers are under no obligation to
pay a finders fee.
Phony Agents
Dont Rush It
Open houses are great for marketing your home. But you cant
always trust people are who they
say they areeven if they attend

Ask questions when you dont
