MEMPHIS, TN, - With an ever growing number of homes headed for foreclosure, Realtors feel more compelled to change their approach to business in order to meet the demands of the new ?traditional' real estate market and help struggling property owners avoid the experience of a foreclosure.
That's exactly the goal and mission for many Crye-Leike Realtors in Little Rock and Memphis who have already been helping many struggling homeowners by assisting them with a short sale.
While assistance with buying foreclosures is important to home buyers, sellers can also benefit when their listing agent understands the short sale process, foreclosure prevention methods and creative financing options to open up the market to more buyers who can qualify for the purchase.

The number of short sales nationally has been largely stagnant the last few years, making up about half of all distressed sales, but Brown believes with the right education and technical assistance, short sales could be hot for the next couple of years.
Brown says an informal polling of Crye-Leike agents found that many were turning down listings because the seller was upside down on his mortgage, that is, owed more than th...

The two Arkansas Realtors responsible for creating and maintaining the website, Ruth Adney and Sarah Metzger, hope visitors to the site will see how interactive and simple the website is to use.
