Florida Foreclosures, South Florida Real Estate

Governor Crist Seeking Deal to Curb Florida Foreclosures

Gov. Charlie Crist met Tuesday with a top banking official and said afterward he wants to secure an agreement from lenders for a voluntary moratorium on foreclosures at least through the holidays.

Crist said he hoped he could announce something next week. His meeting with Florida Bankers Association president Alex Sanchez came a day after Crist disclosed he was considering such a moratorium. Florida had the third highest foreclosure rate in the nation last month.
