We're invited to a recession, but choose not to attend...

With unemployment over 15 percent and many families struggling financially, a local real estate agency has announced its desire to help the people they work with, and love, in the Van Wert County area. 

For the remainder of 2009, CENTURY 21 Sharron Realty Associates, Inc., is offering reduced commission rates under 7 percent to give all homeowners some breathing room to get their properties sold. 

“We’re all in this together”, stated co-owner Chris Henkaline. “Our approach has always been that our business is bigger than just real estate. It’s about helping the people we know and have come to love in this community. I’ve seen countless families struggling to sell their homes do to fallen home values below what they actually owe.

"My parents taught me, that when times get tough, you stick together as family," Henkaline added. "And that’s just what we intend to do; we consider the people of Van Wert family and we recognize that we’re better together as a community than going it alone.” 

Henkaline also challenged other businesses in the area to be proactive and reach out to their community as well.

“I believe we are at a crossroads," Henkaline said. "This is an opportunity to come together and discover resilience as a community. If other business leaders in Van Wert would step up to the plate to help in their line of trade, imagine the impact we could have not only on each other, but as a community modeling this approach to the nation around us. That’s powerful. We’re better together.” 

Henkaline ended by encouraging struggling families that are in danger of losing their homes to contact CENTURY 21 Sharron Realty Associates, Inc., to schedule a financial counseling session to help them. 

CENTURY 21 Sharron Realty Associates, Inc has been in business in Van Wert County since 1978 and offers full cooperation with all area real estate companies as well.
