Eric Rice, founder and CEO of Dyer Beech, a company which educates homeowners on the foreclosure process and connects them to real estate and finance professionals, announced yesterday that the company will be launching a new online tool entitled H.E.L.P Now. “Knowledge is power,” Rice said. “With H.E.L.P Now, homeowners will finally have the knowledge and support that they need to make correct decisions in the short and long term.”

This support will come from using online social networking to connect the client with homeowners facing similar problems, as well as connecting them with free loss mitigation services including education seminars, tax and credit relief specialists, legal and CPA consultations, financial planning, and grief consultation.

“We were running into the same scenario,” Rice said, when discussing the reasons for the new system. “The less informed the homeowners were, the more problems they had with their lender. People can't learn this in school. That's what we do here. I want to make sure people have some assurance in an industry that can't normally provide them.” Rachel Daniels
