- Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) May 11, 2012 - Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston (http://www.hpw.com), a full-service real estate firm, has announced that it is celebrating a year of success for its Short Sale and Foreclosure Assistance program, known as SAFAssist. To date, the program has provided 367 participants with confidential and expert legal representation for short sales and foreclosures, placing more than 170 active homes on the market. On average, these homes remain on the market for only 45 days before being sold. A program that provides legal representation for individuals facing foreclosure or a short sale, SAFAssist services clients through lender negotiations, with no out-of-pocket expenses to property owners, as costs are paid only through sale proceeds. Enrolled clients of the SAFAssist program receive short sale attorney services, free credit counseling from Towne Mortgage of the Carolinas, and assistance in reducing long-term effects on debt liability and income tax ramifications, as well as advice on managing any threatened foreclosure to allow for a private sale.

QUOTES:
"We are glad to see this program succeed and have the opportunity to help so many individuals within the community," said Karen Ross, program director of SAFAssist. "It is an honor to know that we have been able to be a part of a program that is drastically improving people's lives during such an economically trying time. Until now, people did not know where to go when facing short sale or foreclosure, but with SAFAssist, they can get the help they need, with no costs up front. We are very eager to continue to help more Triangle residents and see these promising numbers continue to grow."
