They're not even set up to help people be able to keep their home because the bank really holds the keys, pun intended, with this entire process.” - Sebastian Rusk“So every solution is different. And I tell everybody, ‘You know, I don't have a rule book or guidelines that I have to follow. I kind of make the rules as I go.’ Because at the end of the day, this is all about helping people in certain situations.” - Cody Oakes
