Richard Surber, CEO of Nexia Holdings, commented, "The team that Nexia is assembling will be key to our future success as a real estate holdings company. These professionals will take Nexia in a new direction. I have a high level of confidence in all three new officers of Wasatch Capital Corporation." The appointments are as follows: Casey J. Coleman as President, Corey Vandenberg as Vice President, and William Pettet as Secretary/Treasurer. All of these appointments are effective immediately. Casey J. Coleman, the new President, has been heavily involved in the real estate market for more the 15 years.

For almost five years Casey was owner and CEO of Rental Finders, one of the largest property management companies in Salt Lake City. Mr. Coleman has recent experience managing a real estate portfolio in excess of $10 million and he will use his expertise to effectively manage Nexia's growing real estate holdings. Corey Vandenberg, the new Vice President, has been involved in real estate investing and consulting since 1998. As a consultant with Foreclosure Rescue Services, he has helped thousands of homeowners avoid foreclosure, save their personal residences, and preserve their equity and credit rating. Corey founded Utah Foreclosure Advocates in 2002, offering a free service to homeowners that sought to obtain favorable work out conditions to avoid the loss of a home to foreclosure. These activities have created a substantial network in the industry that includes loss mitigation companies, bankruptcy trustees, and legal counsel; all helpful in avoiding the pitfalls of foreclosure.

Wasatch is also talking with numerous individual investors who purchased real estate during the recent market boom. Generally these investors have homes in the Salt Lake City Utah market that ranges from 5 homes to 100+ homes. With the changing real estate market, many of these investors see Nexia as a strong exit strategy to liquidate their portfolios. About Nexia Holdings, Inc.

Nexia Acquires Two Additional Residential Properties(return to top)

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/10/08 -- Nexia Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: NXHD) announced the execution of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with Casey J. Coleman to acquire two residential properties, both located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The total value is estimated to be $465,000 which will be paid with the issuance of 93,000 shares of restricted Series C Preferred Stock of Nexia. The properties are both single-family dwellings that are currently fully occupied. The purchase of these properties will serve as an example to other potential sellers and may add further credibility to the soundness of Nexia's Real Estate Acquisition Strategy. Richard Surber, CEO of Nexia Holdings, stated, "The acquisition of these homes is merely the tip of the iceberg. These two properties coupled with the recent acquisition of a triplex should add nearly $1M to Nexia's balance sheet and the Nexia real estate team has barely begun its acquisition efforts." Mr. Surber further commented, "I anticipate by the end of December Nexia may be able to acquire another 10 to 20 properties which could add as much as $2.5M to Nexia's balance sheet. Everything that I am seeing tells me that it is very possible that Nexia could acquire vast amounts of residential properties with no cash. Furthermore, Nexia could end up owning the properties free and clear of all debt within 24 months of acquiring the properties based upon its strategy." Casey J. Coleman, the seller, commented, "This was a perfect opportunity to sell my real estate. I was able to get a fair market value when most other real estate is selling at steep discounts. I am very satisfied with the structure of the transaction and have a great deal of confidence that Nexia's real estate strategy and other operations will be reflected in the value of Nexia. I am bullish on Nexia based upon my due diligence of their plans to create value."
