I generally love the hot mess that is all of the “Real Housewives” shows on Bravo, though I’ve never really gotten too much into the Atlanta series. I may have to step up TV time now, though, to check out “modern Renaissance woman“ Lisa Wu-Hartwell’s newly foreclosed Duluth home.
For anyone who hasn’t watched the series (I’m sure there’s one or two of you…), you may not know that Lisa has a few businesses she’s been trying to get off the ground. In addition to a few fashion-related projects, she’s also the namesake behind the (now defunct?) Hartwell & Associates Realtors.
Sure I snark about the “stars” of these shows (see my post about Kelly Bensimon of the Real Housewives of New York), but entering foreclosure is rough, regardless of who you are. And sadly Lisa isn’t the only housewive to face this issue - Realtor and member of “Real Housewives of Orange County” Jenna Keough is facing foreclosure, too. Plus, you have to have some respect for a woman starting her own businesses!
While sad, sounds like things are going to be okay for Lisa. According to a rep, she and her ex-Oakland Raider husband are settling into a new place.

Not sure I see how this post reflects well for our current mortgage situation. This tv star is losing her home but the article say “settling into a new place”. Sometimes people walk away from their homes too easily without trying to sell or trade.

her husband got millions at (1 time ) they could have bought a $500,000 & pay cash, but NOoooooo they had to try to impress everyone,
They get to forcelose & move right in to a new place????? it is almost impossible to even rent after a foreclosure… so how do they get to do this?????
a foreclosure is worse than a bankrumpsy & ruins your credit

I think we’ve seen two of the Atlanta lot in foreclosure. Nene I thought had payment issues as well.

Easy come easy go…
The high end homes are the ones that have been hit the hardest, so this doesn’t surprise me. At least she didn’t live in Phoenix or Vegas - she would have lost it a long time ago.
