U.S. Treasury Secretary singlehandedly steps in to save Reston real estate market

Hey now, who is that slob standing in the background, staring dumbly at the camera as the dapper man speaks at the podium? Why, that's U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, listening intently as Reston resident Nicholas Tekpertey explains how the Treasury Department used some socialist magic called a "modification" to help keep him in his home instead of being foreclosed upon, which is the duty of every True Patriot.

In March, Tekpertey heard about the Home Affordable Modification from a friend, called his lender, faxed in his documents, and was qualified with relative ease. With this modification, he saves almost $600 per month and his payment is now affordable, with an annual total savings of $7,154.

“In February, I was facing foreclosure,” Tekpertey said. “Making Home Affordable changed my situation, and gave me my home back. All homeowners who are worried about their mortgage payments should do what I did. Go to the website like I did. See if you qualify. This program is real, and this program works.”

It's clear from this story that Reston is so awesome and special that the full faith of the U.S. government is now backing the value of every home in our community. So go ahead and put your place on the market back at 2006 prices and wait for the offers to come rolling in!
