Local Agents Provides Free Government Program Eligibility Surveys to Ann Arbor Homeowners Facing Financial Hardships Website presents information and answers questions on homeowner eligibility with new foreclosure avoidance resource.

Ann Arbor, Michigan – 5/5/2010 – Local Certified Distressed Property Expert - designated agent and community advocate, Kathy Toth and Team of Keller Williams Realty has announced the expansion of an information website for Ann Arbor-area homeowners in distress: ~www.AnnArborShortSale.com~ Eligibility surveys for government programs offering help to distressed homeowners, including the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program, or HAFA, which increases the likelihood of a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. “These surveys will let homeowners quickly discover new options made available by the government,” Toth said. “When faced with the possibility of foreclosure, I’ve seen too many homeowners make mistakes because they hadn’t been advised by a qualified professional. These people didn’t know the options available, or even how to find any information on their situation. My website helps to solve this problem.” www.AnnArborShortSale.com acts as a hub for sellers to get information on the facts and issues for struggling homeowners. By providing these new eligibility surveys, homeowners make educated decisions about their future. “Seven out of 10 homes that have gone into foreclosure did so without even being listed on the market,” said Alex Charfen, co-founder and CEO of the Distressed Property Institute. “Agents like Kathy Toth and Team with the CDPE designation are helping distressed homeowners understand that there may be options available to avoid foreclosure.” The CDPE designation provides real estate professionals with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting the real estate industry.
