Jon Maddux

Jon D. Maddux has been Acting CEO of You Walk Away, LLC since December 2007. Although there has been a bit of controversy with the company name, the entrepreneur passionately believed that homeowners across America would desperately need foreclosure advice and so he came up with the Walk Away foreclosure help website. Having over 11 years of real estate and finance experience, Maddux realized with the burgeoning credit crisis, many homeowners in adjustable rate mortgages and high LTV loans were unaware of what they were about to face. With that understanding, Maddux developed an affordable business model that allowed homeowners to know their rights and use the law to their advantage. Beyond the monthly foreclosure monitoring service and cease and desist letters, You Walk Away provides attorney consultation in each state and CPA consultations. Homeowners are armed with the knowledge and peace of mind they need to go through possibly the toughest experience of their lives.

Since January 2008, You Walk Away, LLC has helped over 4000 customers navigate through the hardship of foreclosure and / or a short sale. You Walk Away has been featured in news publications and TV news programs such as: 60 Minutes, ABC Nightline, CNN, NBC’s The Today Show, Good Morning America, Yahoo Finance, Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, front page of The New York Times, Bloomberg, Forbes, Fortune, Money Magazine, NPR, AP, NBC, CBS and Fox News among many others. Many of these publications have used quotes from Maddux about foreclosure.

At blog.youwalkaway.com, maddux writes about the foreclosure crisis from the front lines. As you can imagine, with helping thousands of customers go through this process, there is special insight and first hand knowledge that he gets and is able to share with his readers.
