Crye-Leike, REALTORS is launching a grassroots effort to Stem the Flow
of Foreclosures. Harold and Dick are calling on you, our agents &
managers, to reach out personally and help a family facing foreclosure.
Please read the letter below from our Cofounders and help us "Save The Dream"
for as many homeowners as possible.
Dear Crye-Leike Family,
There are now hundreds of thousands of families all across America facing
foreclosure because they simply cannot afford their mortgage payments,
or they owe far more than their house is currently worth. To make matters
even worse, the Mortgage Bankers Association reports that approximately
50% of home owners who do lose their homes to foreclosure have never
once contacted their lender.
With this stark reality in mind, we are writing to you today to initiate
a system-wide Call-to-Action to the more the thousands of brokers,
managers and sales professionals who are affiliated with us. We are
asking each of you to help "Save the Dream" of home ownership for just
one family facing foreclosure. We believe that we have both an
opportunity and an obligation to help our neighbors and our local
communities by trying to prevent as many foreclosures from occurring as
possible.
This "Save the Dream" initiative may require several hours or even a few
days of your time, but we are confident the end result will be well worth
the effort, both personally and professionally. Specifically, we
are asking each of you to find just one family in your local community
who may be facing foreclosure and help them reach out to their lender or
a housing counseling agency so that they can begin the process of exploring
a loan workout solution and hopefully stay in their homes.
If you don't know of anyone in this unfortunate position, we're confident
that you can use your networking skills to find someone who needs this
kind of help and approach them in confidence and with great sensitivity
to the situation. Collectively, we can make a difference.
Here are direct links to two of the best resource sites available that
you can use both to educate yourselves and to share with people in need of
learning more about how they can help themselves avoid foreclosure:
One thing we have learned during our career as real estate professionals
is that we REALTORS® are very focused on community service. You spend
time every year supporting a myriad of very worthwhile causes like Habitat
for Humanity, Youth Villages, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Toys for Tots and
Make-A-Wish, to name just a few. You know firsthand that doing good deeds
is indeed good business. More than that, we know you care deeply about
your communities.
America got into this foreclosure crisis one house at a time, and we need
to resolve it one house at a time. Please help "Save the Dream" for
someone today. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Harold Crye and Dick Leike
