Helping Homeowners Stay Put
By Stacey Moncrieff, Editor in Chief, REALTOR® Magazine
Tucson, Ariz., practitioner Frances Flynn Thorsen is fighting mad — and she’s not sparing any punches. She wants the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and state REALTOR® organizations to do more to help homeowners with underwater mortgages keep their homes.
“All the education programs and certifications that exist today are sales centric,” she says, “not a single word about loan modifications.”
Frances has taken her crusade to the airwaves with “Truth in Housing Matters,” a weekly show on Access Tucson. She’s also written an education program on home retention and has applied for CE credit through the state of Arizona.
