Local Santa Clarita Agents Provide Free Information Resource to Santa Clarita Homeowners Facing Financial Hardships

New Web site presents options for homeowners confronted with the possibility of foreclosure.

Santa Clarita, CA - 11/24/2009 - Local real estate agents and community advocates, Jennifer and Gary Ricco of Keller Williams VIP Properties, today announced the creation of a new information Website for Santa Clarita-area homeowners in distress. www.SantaClaritaPreForeclosureSpecialists.com  contains vital facts about the options available to these homeowners, to help them make the educated decisions about their future.

"We developed this site with my community in mind," Jennifer and Gary said. "When faced with the possibility of foreclosure, we have seen too many homeowners make poor choices, listening to bad advice,  even walking away from their homes without calling their lender or a real estate agent specializing in pre foreclosure options. These people didn't know the options available, or even how to find any information on their situation.

"We want more for the people of Santa Clarita, and more comes with making informed decisions."

www.SantaClaritaPreForeclosureSpecialists.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^Æ  designation are helping distressed homeowners understand that there may be options available to them," Charfen said. "Jennifer and Gary Ricco have been trained to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, and this Website resource to educate the community is a commendable public service."
