Howard Porter and Dori CarsonHOWARD AND DORI ARE FIGHTING THE FORECLOSURE CRISIS, ONE PROPERTY AT A TIME.

Howard Porter and Dori Carson, of Kennett Square Partnership, LLP, are dedicated to keeping families from foreclosure.  Says Howard, “We’re here for the non-traditional situations.  We help distressed sellers make their property more marketable and even help them catch up on payments, collecting a fee for services at settlement.”  Howard and Dori also relieve tired property managers who want to get out of the business by purchasing rental properties.

Every property that Howard and Dori purchase requires renovation.  The company has created eight jobs in the area by employing three construction crews.  Yet these partners understand that there are some properties they won’t purchase, because they require such extensive work.  “Knowing your limitations is just as important as knowing your capabilities,” says Dori.

Before placing a property on the market for resell or rental, Howard and Dori always ask themselves, “Would we be happy to live here?”  Howard and Dori understand the power of the ripple effect.  Dori notes, “We are in this both to do business and to help people.  We bring our clients through difficult situations and in the end, everyone wins.”
