I have been investing in foreclosed properties for years. I worked solely with bank owned REO properties but lately, all I've found are houses at or near market value and little room for negotiation with the banks. We spoke at the Learning Annex Expo and you told me about the virtues of Pre-Foreclosures and Short Sales. I started working with the listings on www.nylispendens.com and now Pre-Foreclosures are a major part of my investment business.

Thanks,

Dear Sirs,

You have made my life a lot easier. I'm an attorney, and I used to have to pay someone to go to the courts every day to retrieve Lis Penden information. This is a blessing. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

Dear Craig,

I met you when I stopped at your booth at the Triple Play Convention in Atlantic City. I have been a Real Estate Agent for twenty years and I thought I had a pretty good idea of what goes on in my town…you know, who has to sell their home; who's moving in.

I became a member of www.NYLisPendens.com just to see what's happening in other towns in the area. Last month I noticed a home in Pre-Foreclosure right down the street from my office. I walked over, rang the bell, and the homeowner told me he needed to sell pretty quickly. I guess I wasn't expecting much because I didn't even have my listing book with me! I had to race back to the office and get it but we signed the agreement that day. I had it under contract before the end of the week, and right now, we're waiting for the closing. I definitely got the listing because of your service. The owner was ready to call an agent in another office but I was in the right place at the right time and had the advantage.

Thanks,

I am a Loan Officer Brooklyn. We do mostly sub-prime lending and foreclosure bailouts. Your website www.nylispendens.com is an endless lead source and very cost-effective.

Mitch,

Thanks for being there.

I got involved with the short sale of a multi-family that I thought would be a great deal. I wanted that property so bad! Not only was it a multi-family, but it was dual zoned commercial and residential. The bank's loss mitigation department wouldn't budge on the price and I was considering walking away from it. You and I talked on the phone for over an hour and I followed your advice.

Well, now I have a tenant upstairs and a Physicians group downstairs. The property is worth 75% more than what I purchased it for, but I am going to hang on to it since it has a very positive cash flow.

Thank You!

Dear NYLisPendens.com,

I am in the mortgage industry and have used your website for seven years. I've bought leads from various companies that charge outrageous money. You should be selling your Pre-foreclosure records on a per lead basis, but please don't!

Dear Craig,

Mitch made an appointment with me and explained all about Lis Pendens and how it could increase our listing base. We were getting a little desperate as we watched the market slow down. I didn't want to lose any of my agents so I took a chance and ordered NYLispendens.com for all the agents in my office. I have them all on the website at least once a day. They each have their own territories so it keeps them from tripping over one another. Well, I wanted you to know that they ALL have gotten at least one listing and some have gotten more than that. We've only been members since February.

I will be honest; the way the market flattened out made me worry. We're not where we were when the market was hot, but we are holding our own. A large part of the credit goes to your service.

Tell Mitch I really appreciate his encouragement.

Thanks and have a Blessed Day.

Gentlemen,

I am a newly licensed Real Estate Agent and I just relocated to Long Island. I knew it would be tough to get listings here and I was sure I'd have to supplement with another part-time job. I talked to one of you (Mitch, I think), at the Long Island Real Estate Expo. He showed me your www.nylispendens.com web site and said it was a great source for listing leads. For $29.95 a month, I gave it a try. Well, I just wanted you to know that I've only been a member of your service for six weeks and I just got my third listing from your site.

Thanks!

Congratulations, Mitch!

I am writing this because I lost the bet with you. I told you I did not want to get involved with Lis Pendens because my niche in the business is working with higher-end properties, not lower-end homes in questionable neighborhoods.

I took the membership because listings were drying up and I thought I might be able to help my daughter who is just starting out in the business.

Of course, you know the rest…Pre-Foreclosure for a 1.2 million-dollar home and I got the listing.

OK, now we're even.

Seriously, thanks to you and your company and keep up the good work!

Hi Craig,

Thanks again. I learned enough from the "How to Buy & Sell Foreclosures" Guide to get started with the pre-foreclosures. I've invested in a few "systems" and attended a few "boot camps" that didn't teach me anything I couldn't have learned from you for a whopping $29.00. I feel encouraged about the Pre-Foreclosures because I'm seeing so many new records pop up every day. There's much more inventory than there was a year ago, so I'm going to take my time and be selective. I'll let you know how it goes.
