Ralph Roberts, Thankful for his Good Fortune, will Waive Listing Commission for Homeowners Hurt by Layoffs and Plant Closings

DETROIT, Nov. 23, 2005 -- Ralph Roberts will waive the listing commission for the first ten families in each of three counties -- Wayne, Oakland and Macomb -- who contact him between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day who have been laid off or lost overtime and can no longer afford their homes as a result of layoffs and plant closings faced by employees of GM, Ford, Delphi, Daimler-Chrysler and other automotive related companies.

"The families of metro Detroit and Michigan are facing a terrible situation, with these recently announced massive plant closings and layoffs, the likes of which we have not seen in many years," said Ralph. "I feel very strongly that those of us in real estate who have been fortunate and enjoyed success have a responsibility to extend ourselves to individuals and families who are facing some very hard choices."

Ralph's goal is to connect families who need to downsize and get into a smaller house that they can better handle financially with families who are interested in selling their homes.

As an example, on the sale of a $200,000 house, the listing commission of usually 3%, or $6,000, will not be charged to the selling homeowner. Interested property owners should contact Ralph Roberts or his three listing partners Paul Corona, Jenny Kelly, Joy Santiago or Sarah Hodges at 586-751-0000 or email to RalphRoberts@RalphRoberts.com.
