Athens GA Properties, Athens Georgia Homes, and Athens Real Estate

Many industries from travel to more notably the much maligned and troubled Auto industry have some sort of Job Loss Protection plan for Buyers.  An article from RISMEDIA written February 6, 2009 announced in a press release that Creative Alliances, LLC announced it had secured a preferred relationship with the Rainy Day Foundation, a non-profit, to provide the ‘HELP’ Credit Counseling and Financial Protection Package.

This program, which is available to the home buying and automotive buying marketplace, has within its’ package the “Job Loss Protection,” program which is backed by Virginia Surety Insurance Company.

Company head, Alan Pyles, stated, “We are extremely happy to have secured this program including the “Job Loss Protection” in the two industry fields that we have. Business leaders across our nation are fully aware of how critical the real estate and auto industries are to our overall economy. Our ability to provide this program through participating real estate companies and agents as well as car dealerships can go a long way toward providing the needed consumer confidence to the potential buyers.”

In relation to home buyers, the nuts and bolts of the program is that it provides buyers with two years of coverage after the purchase of their home. The buyer is eligible for up to six months of payments ($1,800 per month maximum) should they become unemployed during this period.  For more complete details go to www.AthensGaHomesForSale.com.

According to the article, “The Rainy Day Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization whose mission is to assist individuals in maintaining home and auto ownership. At the Rainy Day Foundation, we understand that even the most well intended home and auto owners can and do run into short-term financial problems. We also recognize that many first-time buyers are unable to adjust to the additional financial responsibilities associated with such a purchase commitment.

At the Rainy Day Foundation we can assist individuals through the navigation of these potentially difficult times. The assistance we provide may be financial, educational or both. Our mission is quite simple. At the Rainy Day Foundation we help by “Protecting You from the Unexpected”.

Home sellers may enroll their homes with the HELP Program at no upfront charge, which will assist in the marketing efforts of their home. When the home is sold, the program is then funded with a $500.00 settlement charge and the HELP program, including the Job Loss Protection, is extended to the home buyer.  The only stipulation in the payment of the program cost at closing is that the Buyer cannot pay the fee.  It has to be either the Seller or one of the two Realtors involved.

Automobile dealers are also afforded the chance of extending this program to their customers, using this added level of confidence to help ignite an added level of purchasing from the buying community.
