Press Release Summary: Foreclosure assistance services from Arizonashortsaleoffice,
homeowners facing foreclosure contact for help on avoiding foreclosure.

Press Release Body: Phoenix, Arizona- Record-high foreclosure rates in Arizona have
thousands of Phoenix homeowners reeling for options to help them avoid losing their
homes. In response to this historic level of need, Arizona Short Sale Office
recently announced its grand opening and a broad array of foreclosure assistance
services.

Arizona Short Sale Office offers services including loan modification negotiations,
loan reinstatements and alternatives to selling properties, which are all aimed at
avoiding foreclosure and keeping homeowners in their homes. "There are nearly 300
notices of default filed in Maricopa County every single day and many of them can be
avoided with our services," said Jamar James, Arizona Short Sale Office Managing
Partner.

Specializing in successfully resolving foreclosure situations through out-of-court
negotiations, Arizona Short Sale Office offers professional consulting on
foreclosure-related processes including creating hardship packages for forbearance,
restructuring, deed in lieu of foreclosure, refinancing, buy-back options and credit
repair. In addition to a resourceful website, Arizona Short Sale Office's staff
members are available 24-hours-a-day by phone for immediate assistance.

As the threat of foreclosure looms, many homeowners also find themselves short on
funds for making car payments and meeting basic needs. For these individuals,
Arizona Short Sale Office also offers part-time and commission-based income
opportunities to help homeowners recover from the financial disaster that often
accompanies foreclosure. "We are the only foreclosure assistance program in Arizona
that provides this service," said James.

According to James, a contributing factor to current sky-high foreclosure rates is
the fact that many homeowners simply do not know their options and they wait too
long to take action. "Now is the time for negotiating with lenders. New legislation
has given banks incentives for working with debtors in default and our programs are
designed to fully take advantage of these new options," said James. The Mortgage
Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, enacted by Congress in 2007, provides a 3-year window
for homeowners to refinance their mortgages without paying taxes on any debt
forgiven.

James encourages homeowners who think it is already too late to avoid foreclosure to
contact his office. "Even if you have received an auction notice there are still
alternatives available to you," he said.
