Veteran Homebuilder Rick Peters Launches Firm to Guide Banks, Trustees, Land Owners and Others Through Distressed Real

ORANGE COUNTY, CA, Nov 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Veteran homebuilder and land-development expert Rick Peters has launched
a consulting firm to help banks, trustees and other holders of distressed
property survive and thrive in today's volatile world of real estate.

R.E. Peters Company offers its clients expertise and industry connections
built over the nearly three decades Peters spent as director of
construction for Fieldstone Communities Inc.'s California division.
Peters is one of the most well-known and widely respected experts on the
state's development scene, having overseen the design, construction and
warranty of more than 12,000 homes.

"I formed R.E. Peters Company to help those associated with distressed
properties overcome obstacles, solve problems and find the most productive
and value-added path forward for troubled assets and projects," Peters
said. "I have devoted my entire professional life to California's building
industry. Now that industry and its stakeholders face challenging times.
So with three decades of industry experience, my company is prepared to
share its proven level of expertise with anyone facing critical decisions
related to troubled properties throughout the State of California."

Peters is gearing his firm to focus on problems faced by lending
institutions, land owners or court-appointed trustees after taking
possession of troubled assets. Those assets could range from large,
partially built residential communities, to scattered collections of
single-family homes in foreclosure, to incomplete commercial projects such
as shopping malls.

California's real-estate market is being flooded with such assets in the
wake of the housing industry collapse and associated credit crunch.

The Peters firm's services run the gamut from initial site-assessment and
cost-to-complete analysis to development services, entitlement and
coordination of both horizontal and vertical construction.

Peters' reputation as a people-oriented, plugged-in executive has earned
him across-the-board trust from development industry stakeholders and
employees as well as government and utility officials. See testimonials.
Rick was a board member for 10 years with the Home Builders
Council/Building Industry Association of Southern California and
co-managed one of the largest Habitat for Humanity projects to date in
Southern California. He is an industry-recognized authority on every
aspect of homebuilding, from systems management and purchasing to
contractor and customer relations.
