Realtor group to hold meeting about foreclosure, mortgage

A free Town Hall series sponsored by Prudential Americana Group, Realtors will be held Aug. 21 from 10 a.m. to noon at Red Rock Resort and Casino. At the meeting, the public will be able to discuss their challenges in the Las Vegas real estate market with local experts including attorneys, financial advisors and mortgage specialists. To RSVP, visit americanagroup.com or call 796-7777.

"The idea for this came from hearing so many stories of people who need to know their options, whether it is a short sale, foreclosure or other outcome," said Mark Stark, CEO of Prudential Americana Group. "This meeting will give you information to get out of your current situation. If you are underwater in your home or in some phase of the foreclosure process, you need to make some tough decisions and likely don't know what to do. At the Town Hall meeting, you'll meet experts who know exactly what you're going through and can help you move in the right direction."
