Local Agent Provides Free Information Resource to Atlanta Homeowners Facing Financial Hardships

July 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA  – Local real estate agent and community advocate, Kelly Chan of Keller Williams® Realty, today announced the creation of a new information Web site for Georgia homeowners in distress. ~ http://www.GeorgiaShortSalesExpert.com ~ contains vital facts about the options available to these homeowners, to help them make the educated decisions about their future.

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 Atlanta, and more comes with making informed decisions.”

~ GeorgiaShortSalesExpert.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 seven 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. “Kelly Chan has been trained to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, and this Web site resource to educate the community is a commendable public service.”
