LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Certified Program HR 3648 Representative, Jan Hickerson, has saved her real estate business by rescuing homeowners from foreclosure. Hickerson has been a real estate agent for over 34 years and has always been a top producer; however, in 2007, as the real estate market changed for the worse, she determined there had to be a better way. That is when Hickerson stumbled upon Program HR 3648. Hickerson states, "When I first logged into Program HR 3648's proprietary training modules and went through their system training, I knew I had a program that worked. I was impressed with how well organized and simple everything was. I am now busier than ever."
Program HR 3648 trains licensed real estate professionals in most markets throughout the country. These licensed agents then act as a "ground army" of volunteers, reaching out to homeowners who may need assistance. Under Program HR 3648, Certified Program HR 3648 Representatives (CPRs) offer to help homeowners, at no cost whatsoever, avoid foreclosure and take advantage of any servicer or government incentives that apply to their particular situation.
While many real estate agents were starving for business, Hickerson closed more than 25 transactions in 2009 and is poised to significantly increase that in 2010. She attributes her success to having a system in place now that enables her to focus almost all her time working to solve the potential foreclosures for her clients. Consequently, they don't have to worry about their problem. Hickerson states, "It's very satisfying doing all this work for good people who genuinely need help. It especially feels good knowing all our services are provided at no cost to the homeowner."
Lee Ann of Long Beach and Tim of Rancho Bernardo, CA are two of many homeowners Hickerson has helped avoid foreclosure. In a letter Lee Ann sent to Hickerson, she states, "I still have trouble believing you were able to save my home from foreclosure…I owe a huge debt of gratitude. I feel so blessed to have had your support during this trying time in my life." Tim writes, "Just a quick note of thanks for keeping my 83 year old mom from going to foreclosure. I didn't know what to do to help her…then, your mailer arrived. Thank you for your genuine concern for my mom and her situation."
"Jan works hard and cares about her clients," says Jeremy Bowman, co-founder of Program HR 3648. "One thing I've noticed about Jan is she stays centered on solving her clients' problem as well as she gives them emotional support and encouragement throughout the process. By the time she is done helping her clients, many of them consider her a personal friend. For example, one homeowner Jan helped avoid foreclosure referred to her as 'my Angel'."
Bowman continues, "Hundreds of real estate professionals, like Jan Hickerson, throughout the country have responded to the call and are going above and beyond to help homeowners through one of the most difficult processes of their lives. Without them, we would be severely limited in our ability to help relieve distressed homeowners of their potential foreclosure."
