TUCSON, AZ, June 26, 2009 – The flavor of real estate foreclosure web sites changes dramatically with the launch of WhyteSmoke.com  by veteran REALTORS Kate Ryan and Nicole Brule-Fisher of Realty Executives of Southern Arizona.

“WhyteSmoke.com signals the beginning of many changes in our world, our nation and especially our community,” said Ryan. Both Ryan and Brule-Fisher are accomplished REALTORS in Tucson’s Real Estate Community and they pledge to blend their experience and proven talents to breathe new life, a higher level of professionalism and renewed compassion into an industry itself in the midst of sweeping changes. It is no coincidence that we launch this site in June, when we celebrate National Homeownership Month.

“As REALTORS, we see the sweeping impact of the housing market and it’s translation of pain in a down market to members of our community. We are here to move in a new, healthier and meaningful direction. We wish to revive and renew our community. Our mission is to help homebuyers and sellers understand what it is they can do to green those properties. This will be a new and fresh look at restoring our community and our homes, our dwelling. This is a bright new look at what we can all do, collectively, to reduce our impact on our environment AND live more comfortably, more simply along the way,” they said. 

“Further, as a significant commitment to our community, we wish to SHARE the needed help and attention with those homeowners that wish to remain in their homes by supplying information and support and guidance to those entities who can truly help.

“Alternatively, we are also equipped to help those homeowners choosing not to stay in their homes,” they continued.

“WhyteSmoke.com is here to assist owners of property, including lenders and their facilitators, (i.e. asset managers, etc.) in creating expedited sales of their properties while assuring the buying public professional and authoritative care,” said Brule-Fisher. “WhyteSmoke promotes our intention to share ideas in Greening up our homes and communities to insure a safe and caring environment for all.”

“WhyteSmoke.com is built on a platform for change. We invite the public and guest bloggers to share their gifts. We will offer time sensitive resources to consumers from those ‘in the know.’ Watch for the continued signals of change!”
