Product Description
If you think it is almost over - think again - the other shoe is about to drop. It is said that "ignorance is bliss" but WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW about this credit crisis WILL HURT YOU in more ways than you can imagine. Your financial life is at stake. Your home equity is deflated. Your investment and retirement accounts are but a pittance of what they once were. We, the American people, have been victims of a crime that has landed us in a major recession. Are we headed into a full scale depression? Do you know that our politicians, with knee-jerk reactions, are passing bills into law that are delivering death blows to the barely breathing housing market? This book will reveal insider secrets. You will discover the fallacy of the credit scoring system and why the unjust closing of our credit is going to further destroy our recovery. You will see actual rate sheets that lenders forbid brokers from showing you, and you will be outraged by the recent pricing additions imposed by our government sponsored enterprises. Is this a secret tax to pay back the billions of dollars in bailout money? We have witnessed century-old institutions come crashing down. But what was behind the crash? As we sit here Stunned in America, we are looking for answers. Who did it? How did it happen? Who is to blame? How do we fix it? The facts behind this crisis will anger you -and rightly so! Should we be planning another "tea party"? This book exposes what the media is not telling you and what the banks don't want you to know. Also included is a workbook that will allow you the opportunity to measure your own ability to get - or not get - a mortgage loan.

Tootikian gets it - the crisis, the carnage, and the hope December 12, 2009

I read lots of articles about our financial and real estate crisis. Mary Tootikian has gathered up all the relevant information, and presented it with the fierce heart of an expert who cares, who knows the impact on human life, and who wants better for the everyday homeowner. If you want more than despair in your outlook, then read this book for possibilities and hopefullness.

Stunned in America is useful to anyone or any organization that wants to borrow or lend mortgage money. It's a powerful must-read for all people engaged in the mortgage industry, especially Realtors, brokers and lenders. The book and workbook are very useful and easy-to-use for people who may want to buy a home or refinance an existing mortgage. It's obvious that the author knows her stuff! And it's gratifying that she's willing to share her expertise and sage advice. I'll make sure my kids read it before they buy their first homes.
Perfect timing January 4, 2010

Stunned in America is a compelling read and perfectly timed. Mary Tootikian uses her thirty years in the mortgage industry to hit you right between the eyes with information you MUST have to understand the subprime mortgage debacle and how it affects us: the everyday folks who are trying to stay afloat. She explains the fuel that fed the subprime meltdown- from the players to the victims. The beauty of the book is that once the problem is examined the author doesn't just leave you scratching your head. She offers up valuable suggestions plus a workbook to help you get - and stay - on the right path to planning your current and future mortgage plans. It was truly an eye-opener and I would recommend it to anyone who already has or may be considering a mortgage.
A clear explanation of the foreclosure/mortgage crisis March 7, 2010

I was extremely impressed with this book. It is very readable, even for someone such as myself who ordinarily has difficulty following economic issues. The author gives a thorough explanation of how the foreclosure/mortgage crisis happened, and gives clear, sensible suggestions as to how to effectively address the problem. Highly recommended.
Greedonomics got us where we are today! March 21, 2010

Mary Tootikian has hit the ball out of the park with her assessment of our current economic MESS! Her candor and consummate examples recreate the reason the "bubble" in the real estate industry burst. She explains how we got here and gives a specific plan of HOW TO get out of the financial situation we are in.
This book has "hooks" that make will make you laugh and remember the important points which need to be addressed in Congress. Greedonomics 101, Nightmare On Every Street, The Golden Rule, "The Secret" and How To Fix It are all examples of her humor in addressing this serious problem in America.
Mary says "If you think it is almost over, think again". I am a real estate consultant with 30 years of experience investing, selling and buying in all different markets and I firmly believe, like Mary, there is more more "mess" coming. The light at the end of the tunnel IS a freight train and it is coming to run over us.
"This book exposes what the media is not telling you and what the banks don't want you to know."
"Common people have common sense, let's use some."
READ Mary's book, THINK about the concepts and REASON on your own what needs to be done.
This book is a "Call to Action." A must read for every American!
