Helping homeowners navigate layoffs, rising debt, and housing stress through trusted education and equity-first solutions.
BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As more homeowners across Massachusetts and the U.S. face financial uncertainty due to rising costs, layoffs, and economic stress, Red Hilton and her team at AskForRed.com are providing expanded education, resources, and support to help people understand their options before foreclosure becomes inevitable.
“We’re hearing from more and more people who’ve just been laid off, seen their hours cut, or are overwhelmed by unexpected life changes,” said Hilton, founder of AskForRed.com and longtime housing educator. “What they often don’t realize is that they may still have time and options, but early action makes all the difference.”
The AskForRed.com Team, backed by more than 30 years of real estate, housing education, and foreclosure prevention experience, is focused on one mission: education before action. Through one-on-one consultations, public outreach, and free resources like ListAt1Point5.com, Hilton’s team helps homeowners explore:
Loan modifications to reduce monthly payments
Forbearance programs for temporary hardship relief
Short sales and pre-foreclosure listings
HUD-approved nonprofit counseling
Equity preservation strategies
Red has worked directly with attorneys, lenders, and housing nonprofits, and has served on the Board of Directors for several local organizations including NeighborWorks Housing Solutions. Her work has been featured in the Associated Press, and she continues to prioritize dignity, clarity, and proactive planning in every client interaction.
“We are not the court. We are not the bank. We are not here to pressure anyone into selling,” Hilton emphasized. “We are here to help people understand their rights and their options, before deadlines limit them.”
For those who do need to sell, Hilton’s innovative platform, ListAt1Point5.com, allows eligible homeowners to list at just 1.5% commission, preserving more of their equity and helping them move forward without unnecessary financial loss.
