Saratoga Springs, NY, May 18, 2009—Special Asset Management (SAM), a Saratoga Springs, NY-based company that provides real estate-related services to the financial industry, today announced a new partnership with CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company, one of the Dallas/Fort Worth region's oldest and most respected real estate firms, to market and sell distressed residential properties throughout the United States. 
 
SAM has created a unique on-line auction system that will be the backbone of its property sales process. Local realtors, trained in the auction process, are necessary to provide services such as buyer inquiry response, conducting open houses, and placing property listings. CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company will supervise the nationwide management and sale process for SAM with thousands of other CENTURY 21 franchisees, as well as affiliated brokers of the Cartus Network. 
 
CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company and affiliated CENTURY 21 and Cartus brokers have also been chosen by SAM to participate in special initiatives to work directly with homeowners and lenders to avoid foreclosures. “Our network of brokers and agents will be working on finding the best solutions in all cases”, said Michael Dean, CEO of SAM. “The best situation for everyone is to avoid the pain and cost of foreclosure in the first place.”
 
Jim Fite, President of CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company, said that his firm’s selection as a key player in the SAMprogram is a result of its well-earned reputation in the real estate industry. “CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company was selected for this revolutionary process because of its history of service and leadership in both the foreclosure and traditional real estate markets,” Fite noted. 
 
SAM‘s web site for property auctions, www.SAMOnlineAuctions.com , is currently undergoing its final technology testing in preparation for the formal beginning of bidding later this month. Listed homes on the auction site are provided to SAMby various financial institutions. Individual properties will normally be listed for auction over a 30-day period.
 
The SAM –CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company partnership is being lauded by financial institutions as a meaningful step in alleviating the national home foreclosure crisis. “Our lender-clients have been consulted each step of the way as the SAM property-sale process was designed and refined”, SAM
