REALTORS® build communities in part by expanding homeownership opportunities and getting people into homes of their own. These are noble goals, but helping homeowners stay in their homes also is important to sustain our communities. In this marketplace of rising mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, that goal can be challenging.
The Stark County Association of REALTORS® realizes it needs to be proactive in helping our neighbors in this unfortunate foreclosure crisis.
