Freedom Financial Holdings, Inc.'s Foreclosure Resolution Initiative Meets Strong Acceptance in Initial Markets

Fri Aug 1, 2008 10:28am EDT
  WAYNE, IN, Aug 01 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Freedom Financial Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FDMF) CEO Brian Kistler
announced today that the Company has launched Freedom Mortgage
Resolutions, Inc., over 100 mortgage professionals in sixteen states.

    Brian Kistler, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "I am very excited to see this division of Freedom unfold. The
foreclosure issue is one of the largest challenges the United States
banking industry has ever faced. The magnitude of foreclosure is
overwhelming and many lenders do not have the time or ability to work with
individuals. However, foreclosures are not a good alternative for anyone.
Banks receive pennies on the dollar and, most importantly, families are
left devastated.

    "Our Mortgage Resolutions division was created to alleviate this gap and
it has been well received by mortgage professionals at all levels. We have
been able to attract the highest quality of talent in Ohio, Indiana,
Alabama, Minnesota, Illinois, Georgia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Florida, Nevada, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota and North
Carolina. We continue to look for displaced mortgage/sales professionals
willing to roll up their sleeves and help do something good for at risk
home owners."

    Robert Ruckstuhl, Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Mortgage Resolutions,
went on to comment, "When a home owner is at the point of foreclosure
proceedings, they are typically frightened and don't know where to turn.
Our professionals are trained to apply the experience they have garnered
within their local market to work with all parties to navigate a favorable
outcome. FMR has successfully negotiated approximately 60% of our cases to
settlement."

    While settlement is not always a viable outcome, FMR works closely with
its customers to find the best possible solution for their particular
situation. Services the company provides include:


--  Negotiate re-writing note terms
--  Negotiate note modification
--  Negotiate a forbearance agreement
--  Negotiate a short payoff
--  Negotiate a transfer of deed in lieu of
--  Negotiate and access to legal counsel
--  Keys for Cash
