SAFAssist provides short sale and foreclosure legal representation to clients through lender negotiations, with no out-of-pocket expenses to property owners, as costs are paid only through sale proceeds. Through this exclusive partnership, Century 21 and its team hold the exclusive rights in Jacksonville and Onslow counties for working with SAFAssist and will be able to offer clients all of the expert short sale support that the program offers.

QUOTES:
"People all over the state are in need of the benefits from using our services, not just individuals in central North Carolina, and so we are excited to partner with Century 21 in Jacksonville," said Walston. "Joining with brokerage companies outside of the Triangle enables us to expand the reach of our program and provide aid for more individuals who, due to financial constraints, need to sell their homes through a short sale."

"The SAFAssist staff is knowledgeable and very customer-driven, and our office loves working with them," said Pam Furtney, owner and broker of Century 21 Champion Real Estate in Jacksonville. "The service they offer has been a valuable addition to our company and will enable us to help individuals in our area who need a short sale due to their financial circumstances."
