Local Real Estate Agent and Publisher, John Murphy, Provides Free Information Resource to Twin Cities Homeowners Facing Financial Hardships
New Web site presents options for homeowners confronted by the possibility of foreclosure.
PLYMOUTH, MN – November 19, 2009 – Local real estate agent John Murphy of RE/MAX Results and www.JohnMurphyReports.com, today announced the creation of a new information Web site for Twin Cities homeowners in distress. The new site @ www.JohnMurphyHelps.com contains vital facts about the options available to these homeowners, to help them make the educated decisions about their future.
“I developed this site out my concern for struggling homeowners,” Murphy 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. It’s estimated that 70% of people in foreclosure do not make contact with anyone who may be able to help them. I want to change that.”
Murphy further states, “homeowners in distress need to know their options to be able to make informed decisions. There are often other options besides just letting the home go to foreclosure.”
www.JohnMurphyHelps.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. “John Murphy has been trained to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, and this Web site resource to educate the community is a commendable public service.”
