Distraught Owner Gets Second Chance at Auction

A Dallas woman bought a foreclosed home at auction and returned it to the woman who lost it. Marilyn Mock was at the auction to help her son buy a house when she struck up a conversation with a distraught Tracy Orr, who was watching the proceedings and crying.Orr originally bought the house for $80,000 in 2004, but fell behind on payments. She lost her job a month after taking on the loan, and earlier this year lost the property. Mock sympathized, joined the bidding and bought the house for $30,000.Orr will now make payments to Mock, rather than a bank. . She said Mock bought her more than a home. “She gave me something inside, and that's more important than material or financial things," Orr said.
