Realtors unite to help homeowners facing foreclosure

Posted: Updated:

Crye-Leike, one of the largest real estate groups in the Southeast, has launched a new program aimed at encouraging realtors to identify families in the community facing foreclosure and help them find a solution.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, 50% of those who lose their homes to foreclosure have never once contacted the lender.

Jai Lipscomb has been a realtor for six years.

She said she was shocked to learn so many people facing foreclosures didn't ask for help.

"It is over whelming that people are not asking for the help when it is sitting right there," she told News 2 Monday.  "All of our agents are equipped and ready to help and resolve this situation; help them resolve it."

Collectively, Crye-Leike agents like Lipscomb feel they can make a difference, one family at a time.
