Kristine Taylor - HomeSavers

I began my professional career in 1990 as a Real Estate agent and loan consultant. While working in the mortgage industry for only a short period of time, I came across several individuals and families that had fallen on hard times, either due to illness or the death of a spouse. I felt the need to focus my efforts toward helping people that were having difficulties dealing with life changing circumstances. In 2002, I raised funds and gathered a small group of committed individuals to open Homesavers, an organization specifically dedicated to helping families save their homes from foreclosure. Offering counseling, lender negotiation and making small loans to help families through difficult times, our primary focus was to provide a pathway for them to get well and back on track. Having spent 20+ years helping others fight to save their homes and set their financial path towards recovery, I found myself fighting the battle of my life with Breast Cancer. The day I received my diagnosis was the most difficult of my life and in only a few weeks my whole world was turned upside down. I was combating a multi-front war. Physically, I was being poked, probed, radiated, drugged and operated on. Mentally, I struggled trying to maintain my workload while juggling Dr. appointments and trying stay on top of my children’s schedules. Most of all, I struggled emotionally with my self-esteem and mortality. After multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation and many setbacks, I've emerged victorious. I've always been a fighter and through this period of time, I worked long and hard to keep my business running successfully. But, I would not have been able to manage without the love, support and encouragement from my family, friends and a network of great business relationships. This journey has set my resolve to help families recover and bridge-the-gap during their struggle to get healthy and back on their feet again.
