Last month, it appeared that Lakeisha was admitting defeat by keeping the $ 736,000 home, as she had appointed a specialized foreclosure firm, Get Liquid Funding LLC, to handle the court case. The case will be heard by South Florida District Court Judge Mindy Mora on November 3 after bankruptcy trustee Robin Weiner filed a motion to dismiss the case, which will expedite the sale of the house.
