New web site presents options for homeowners confronted with the possibility of foreclosure.
Richmond-Petersburg, VA (1888PressRelease) August 13, 2009 - Local real estate agent and community advocate, Deb Orth of Keller Williams Realty, today announced the creation of a new information Web site for Richmond-area homeowners in distress. WWW.StopVirginiaForeclosure.com contains vital facts about the options available to these homeowners, to help them make the educated decisions about their future.
“This site was developed with the Richmond community in mind,” Orth said. “When faced with the possibility of foreclosure, I’ve seen too many homeowners make poor choices, even walking away from their homes without calling their lender or a real estate agent. These people didn’t know the options available, or even how to find any information on their situation.
“I want more for the people of Richmond, and having more comes with making informed decisions.”
WWW.StopVirginiaForeclosure.com acts as a hub for information on the facts and issues for struggling homeowners, putting all the necessary information in one, easy-to-use location. The information and materials located on the site are regularly updated to reflect market changes, trends, new lender requirements, and industry updates.
Alex Charfen, co-founder and CEO of the Distressed Property Institute in Austin, Texas, said that more than 7 out of 10 homeowners in foreclosure proceed without any visible assistance.
“Agents with the Certified Distressed Property Expert® designation are helping distressed homeowners understand that there may be options available to them,” Charfen said. “Deb Orth has been trained to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, and this Web site resource to educate the community is a commendable public service.”
