Howdy!

My goal and commitment is to keep updated with everything that is going on in the world and then to share it with you. I will do my best to sort through the pages and pages of news and only provide you with the best, most resourceful information possible.

This article that I found from the National Association of Realtors is Great News for more than just the industry but the economy as a whole.

Banks Spend Billions to Help Troubled Borrowers
JP Morgan Chase & Co. is opening 24 offices nationwide to help home owners facing foreclosure.

"The idea is to reach people who are in trouble--many who may have gone into avoidance mode," spokeswoman Nancy Norris says. "We hope this personal, face-to-face service will enable us to help more of our customers."

JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo received $25 billion in federal bailout funds. Bank of America and Citigroup each got $45 billion.

Norris says Chase expects to use this money to help about 700,000 mortgage customers – a total of $110 billion in home loans – by the middle of 2010. In total, Chase has 10.4 mortgage customers.

Some observers are dubious that even this well-funded plan will work.

"Unfortunately, we tend to be a little cynical about these efforts," says Daren Blomquist, a spokesman for RealtyTrac, a research company that tracks foreclosures. "It seems that everything thrown at the problem so far has not been too successful."
