Marketplace Homes partners with Traton Homes to free Atlanta families from negative-equity homes

Feb. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Marketplace Homes is proud to announce that it has partnered with prominent Atlanta builder, Traton Homes, to expand housing options for Georgia residents in some of Atlanta's most sought after suburban areas.

"We are thrilled to have Traton Homes as our newest partner, offering consumers a simple way out of their current housing situation and making a new home possible," says Mike Kalis, Managing Partner of Marketplace Homes.  "Many families are growing and find themselves stuck in a starter home that does not fit but can't be sold for a fair price in today's market.  We offer a solution."

It’s a great time to buy, but a tough time to sell. With Marketplace Homes, homeowners can take advantage of today’s prices, without facing the pressure of having to sell their home in today’s housing market. If you buy a new construction home through one of Marketplace Homes’ partner builders, they will agree to a Guaranteed Lease on your existing home for up to 6 years. The lease is assured. You receive a payment every month, regardless of established tenancy. Marketplace Homes also handles all utilities, maintenance, and repairs. You don’t have to be a landlord!

In Atlanta alone, 55.7% of homeowners are currently underwater on their mortgage.   Thousands of homeowners are stuck in their homes and Marketplace Homes offers a unique solution that conventional real estate companies cannot.  These homeowners are upside-down on their mortgage, make a great income, and have excellent credit. However, due to the collapse of the housing market and circumstances by no fault of their own, they are having difficulties selling their current home.  By using the Marketplace Homes’ Guaranteed Lease Program, these homeowners are able to purchase a new construction home today, without the stress of facing foreclosure or short sale.

Marketplace Homes’ results are proven.  They acquired 12% of all new construction home sales in one of the nation’s worst housing markets, Detroit, in 2011. In addition to operations in the Detroit and Atlanta area, Marketplace Homes is partnered with builders across the country in over 30 different housing markets. “We are the only national property management company of its kind, our service is completely innovative and our results are proven", says Managing Partner, Mike Kalis.
