The Face of Foreclosure - Florida's Effort In Foreclosure Awareness

http://www.g-sig.com/

The Florida Association of Realtors (FAR) has teamed up to help Floridians across the state help raise foreclosure awareness as well as help with foreclosure prevention awareness.

What has been created is “The Face of Foreclosure” It is a website designed for people to share their stories and show the public as well as government and lenders that there is more to foreclosing on someone than a loan number.

The website was created with the help of a $97,000.00 grant from the National Association of Realtors. This will help FAR purchase statewide radio announcements as well as educate consumers about foreclosures and help them gain knowledge on how to prevent foreclosure as well as support for those being foreclosed on.

In addition to consumer stories, the Florida Association of Realtors (FAR) is using the website to conduct important research that will help the state as well as local and federal law makers make decisions about the current foreclosure crisis.
Florida is one of the most effected states in the United States of America leading the way in foreclosure filings month after month. FAR has realized this and is taking this opportunity to get answers directly from those affected, in hopes that it may not happen ever again – or at least stop the process.

The Florida Association of Realtors Vice President John Sebree explained “As part of this project, we are currently examining the past three years of Florida foreclosure data from numerous sources, which we expect will shed light on some of the reasons for disparities in foreclosure information reported in the media.”

In conjunction with data received from the research conducted on the “Face of Foreclosure” website, the goal will to be to significantly reduce foreclosures. More importantly through this project and the research conducted the hope is to create a strong resistance against foreclosures as well as build strong public policy for the state of Florida and all of its real estate facets.
