 Tips for avoiding foreclosure
Avoiding foreclosure, especially for first-time homeowners, is crucially important as foreclosure rates rise across the country.

Work on the assumption that an ounce of provention is worth a pound of cure, urged Jim Ryal, 2008 chairman of the Suburban West Realtors Association and an associate broker with the Bryn Mawr office of Prudential Fox & Roach.
