<p>More good news coming from the Foreclosure.com Community Expert Program (CEP).</p>
<p>We’ve already detailed several testimonials from busy, profit-earning CEP agents <a href="http://blog.foreclosure.com/2009/05/real-estate-agent-marketing-tools-and-tips-that-work/" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://blog.foreclosure.com/2009/05/foreclosurecom-community-experts-find-buyers-for-real-estate/" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://blog.foreclosure.com/2009/07/real-estate-buyer-leads-for-realtors-keep-pouring-in/#more-1239" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://blog.foreclosure.com/2009/07/real-estate-foreclosure-agentscommunity-expert-network-and-their-buyers-thrive/" target="_blank">here</a>. Today we have more positive experiences to share below from satisfied members of our nationwide network.</p>
<p>Our formula for success is as simple as 1, 2, 3:</p>
<ol>
<li>Get noticed &#8212; Thousands of buyers search for properties in your area and recognize YOU as their go-to person.</li>
<li>Get connected &#8212; Buyers connect with YOU as a real estate expert. Calls and emails start pouring in.</li>
<li>Close deals &#8212; Build relationships today and close the deals tomorrow. Earn more money.</li>
</ol>
<p>CEP is straightforward and effective. No nonsense, just solid leads from motivated buyers.</p>
<p>On the flip side, buyers benefit from knowledgeable and helpful real estate professionals who all go the extra mile to ensure total client satisfaction.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the perfect real estate tool.</p>
<p>But enough of that, let&#8217;s hear what the latest batch of agents have to say about our CEP:</p>
<p><span id="more-2461"></span></p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Clark Cook<br />
Cumberland County, NC<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2464" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:220px;" title="Clark Cook" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/clarkcook.jpg" alt="clark-cook" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;I just wanted to share with all who might be considering membership with foreclosure.com that it has more than paid off for me. I&#8217;ve only been a member for a few months and picked up my first investor client. We have closed on one property already and he&#8217;s ready to list it with me now. It&#8217;s too soon to know just how much that  one client is worth, but I keep getting inquiries from new prospects each and every month. Yes, I&#8217;ve gotten some tire kickers and lookie-loo&#8217;s but that&#8217;s part of the numbers game. I am happy to say my decision to use the service has been a smart use of my advertising dollar, and I would encourage my fellow REALTORS to see for themselves if this will work for them.</em><em>&#8220;</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Eddie Edwards<br />
Cherokee County, GA<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2463" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:40px;" title="Eddie Edwards" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Eddie-Edwards.jpg" alt="Eddie-Edwards" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;I see the value in the program. I have received couple calls and I am currently working with two active buyers. I think this will be money worth spending. I also just earn my designation with you, which will assist in my closing ratios.</em><em>&#8220;</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Gary Franks<br />
Okaloosa County, FL<br />
Seven CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1346" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:170px; *margin-bottom:150px; _margin-bottom:160px;" title="Gary Franks" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gary-franks.jpg" alt="Gary Franks" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;</em>I have been VERY HAPPY with my decision to be part of Foreclosure.com  I believe its the BEST dollar spent on my marketing. I have generated LOTS serious buyers for foreclosures and have made several sales that have generated me around $25k net commissions. That is serious NOI on my membership fee. I have even referred friends that are Realtors to join (not in my area of course) and they have made sales too! I also wanted to say &#8216;Thank You&#8217; to Sharon at Foreclosure.com &#8212; she has been helpful and is very friendly. You guys should give her a raise! Seriously!<em>&#8220;</em></p></blockquote>

It&#8217;s starting to sound like a broken record; however, the Foreclosure.com Community Expert Program (CEP) and its nationwide network of agents is still going strong.</p>
<p>We’ve already detailed several testimonials from busy, profit-earning CEP agents <a href="http://blog.foreclosure.com/2009/05/real-estate-agent-marketing-tools-and-tips-that-work/" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://blog.foreclosure.com/2009/05/foreclosurecom-community-experts-find-buyers-for-real-estate/" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://blog.foreclosure.com/2009/07/real-estate-buyer-leads-for-realtors-keep-pouring-in/#more-1239" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Naturally, we continue to receive positive feedback from our agents and brokers who are beating back buyers/investors who are looking to cash-in on the unbelievable real estate opportunities currently available.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a huge buyer pool &#8212; nearly half of all transactions today involve some type of distressed real estate. CEP agents are strategically positioned on the frontlines of this all-out market assault thanks to the unrivaled Web power and reach of Foreclosure.com and its affiliate partners.</p>
<p>In fact, our online traffic has never been better, reaching all-time records month-over-month since the start of 2009.</p>
<p>Literally millions of buyers search our industry-leading database of nearly two million listings each month. And  CEP agents, as well as their multiple buyers, are among the many who are riding this big wave of success right to the closing table.</p>
<p>Hear what just a handful of them have to say this time around:</p>
<p><span id="more-1241"></span></p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Bill Saedlo<br />
Miami-Dade, Florida<br />
Seven CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1299" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:40px;" title="Bill Saedlo" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bill-saedlo.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;Foreclosure.com has helped me to find qualified buyers easily. I was not expecting the quantity of leads that are coming in. I am receiving new leads usually on a daily basics. Most of my closed deals have been with cash buyers, which is a big benefit when dealing with REO properties.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Gary Franks<br />
San Bernardino County, California<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1346" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:280px;" title="Gary Franks" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gary-franks.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;As an 18-year real estate veteran, business has been like a roller coaster; I’ve had some good years and not so good. By the grace of God, I found Foreclosure.com. Trust me, I was skeptical at first, you see, there are charlatans lurking around each corner of the real estate business, anyway, for an unknown reason, I felt compelled to give this web-site a try. The first month was a flop, and my theory about these companies was confirmed, thus, it was a scam, so I withdrew my membership. A couple of months later, I thought I would give it one more shot, and thank God I did, within a couple of weeks, the leads began to rush in; and with my first closing, with a lead that came from Foreclosure.com, I made a commission of $24,000 and soon after, a commission of $9,000. Lets be realistic, not every lead will be a pay check, but at least there coming in.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Sally May<br />
South/North Carolina<br />
Six CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1315" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:20px;" title="Sally May" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sally_may.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;I am so excited, I just can&#8217;t believe it. I just signed up two weeks ago and I have already had three calls from my Foreclosure.com registration. If I had only known how effective this would be, I would have signed up a long time ago!!!!!&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Nicholas Tukmanian<br />
Rumson, New Jersey<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1300" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:60px;" title="Nicholas Tukmanian" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/nicholas-tukmanian.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;In just a short period of time since I signed up to Foreclosure.com, I have been pleased with all aspects of the website. From customer support to detailed information on properties, I believe that Foreclosure.com is a definitive source for foreclosure information. More importantly, from a business perspective, I&#8217;m pleased with the quality of leads Foreclosure.com generates for me.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Richard Kim<br />
Fairfield County, Connecticut<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1329" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:20px;" title="Richard Kim" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/richard-kim.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;I have been member of Foreclosure.com for two months. There are many leads who will be buyers in the future. If you can make one closing, your fee for year membership will be paid. This is a good investment!&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Today, it&#8217;s more of the same: CEP agents on Foreclosure.com are receiving hot inbound leads from countless potential buyers in their local areas for less than the cost of one open house ad.</p>
<p>Foreclosures are hot and getting hotter. It&#8217;s that simple.</p>
<p>Buyers &#8212; more than 6.5 million of them each month &#8212; are scouring our Web site around the clock, looking for the best deals in real estate. And the community experts featured on our distressed listings &#8212; nearly two million of them throughout the United States &#8212; are servicing all these leads.</p>
<p>In short, CEP agents are closing deals and earning commissions even though the current market is often referred to as soft. Need more convincing? No problem &#8212; just check out our latest testimonials from more satisfied agents after the jump &#8230; and there&#8217;s more on the way:</p>
<p><span id="more-1239"></span></p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Frank Nelson<br />
Fulton, Georgia<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1339" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:15px;" title="Frank Nelson" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/frank-nelson.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;Foreclosure.com is one of my best lead sources. The leads are generally &#8216;real&#8217; buyers. My conversion rate is much better than other lead sources I have used.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Linda Joyner-Jones<br />
Asotin, Washington<br />
Two CEP zip codes</em></p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1285" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:170px;" title="Linda Joyner-Jones" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/linda-joyner-jones.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;Foreclosure.com has given me the information to obtain listings. I am able to show prospective buyers the list and the we go after the preforeclosures they would like to see. At first, I did not really work the program correctly, but after having the membership for awhile I figured out what is best for our area here. I believe it will put me in an excellent position to obtain foreclosed listing properties by being able to contact the correct person. All in all, if you work the program it will work for you. I have been happy with my results for the price.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Gail Clements<br />
Wake, North Carolina<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1320" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:210px;" title="Gail Clements" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/gail-clements.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;So I actually closed one of my first deals with a Foreclosoure.com member just months in the business. That would be back in May 2007. Since then I&#8217;ve had many leads. I just met this week with another customer from the site. We will be putting an offer in on Thursday. Now that I&#8217;m more confident, I can get clients to meet with me and get to closing. Right now, I am actively working with about five other customers from the site. I don&#8217;t have any complaints about my getting leads. Thanks to Foreclosure.com, I now have them in my database for follow-up. Maybe they are ready to get off the fence!&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Yvette Wilkinson<br />
Will County, Illinois<br />
Five CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1290" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:420px;" title="Yvette Wilkinson" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/yvette-wilkinson.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;The Foreclosure.com Web site is a very useful tool. I have received about 20 leads in the past six months from my coverage area.  I have successfully had 4/20 leads to put contracts on properties and I am currently waiting for two of them to close within the next 30 days.  I am currently working with four active qualified buyers at this time.  Although not the highest bidder, I registered one buyer for the Williams and Williams Auction and accompanied her there.  As a result, I was able to market myself to other real estate investors that I would have never met.  I give them free access to an online property management module and  refer them to Foreclosure.com for the free 7-day trial.  I get contacted before the listing agent is actually contacted, simply because I am identified as a Community Expert.  When I receive a call from a prospect they say that I am all over the Foreclosure.com site and someone they felt they should contact for their home buying process.  Although this is still a soft market right now and buyers are not immediately decisive, my pipeline is getting pretty full with future prospects.  Thanks Foreclosure.com!&#8221;<br />

<p><strong>Community Expert</strong>:<br />
Genise Washington<br />
Dekalb, Georgia<br />
Nine CEP zip codes</p>
<blockquote><p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1326" style="margin-right:15px; margin-bottom:220px;" title="Genise Washington" src="http://blog.foreclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/genise-washington.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="99" />&#8220;This letter is written with true appreciation and satisfaction for the team at Foreclosure.com. I’ve been a member since December 2008 and have had such a great experience. My great experience started with my representative Sharon Johnson. Sharon thoroughly informed me of the program and what it had to offer me being a newly licensed real estate agent. Her profes</em><em>sionalism and customer service easily persuaded me that this was the right choice for my business growth. I initially started by purchasing five zip codes and quickly increased my account to 10 zip codes. Recently, I’ve upgraded to the foreclosure network and am awaiting the rewards from this awesome program. To date, my service has been rewarding and I’</em><em>m very satisfied.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>

<p>The Foreclosure.com Community Expert Program (CEP) continues to roll, connecting real estate agents with 1,000&#8217;s of potential buyers in their local areas for less than the cost of one open house ad.</p>
<p>Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, the good news is that it is indeed a fact.</p>
<p>Community experts appear directly on the property details pages for all the listings that we have in our massive nationwide database (more than two million and counting) in their designated communities. It&#8217;s the best and most cost effective online marketing program available anywhere.</p>
<p>Especially when you consider that Foreclosure.com is getting crushed around the clock and setting new traffic records month-over-month because of the interest in distressed real estate.</p>
<p>In fact, Foreclosure.com &#8212; already America’s largest and most trusted source for distressed real estate information &#8212; is among the top 20 online real estate destinations on the Web, placing twelfth for visits on a recent report from HitWise.com &#8212; the leading online competitive intelligence service &#8212; for the week ending on Feb. 28.</p>
<p>This business has always been about &#8220;Location, Location and Location.&#8221; And it doesn&#8217;t get any better for real estate agents right now than marketing their services on the hottest Web address on the Internet to find buyers, Foreclosure.com.</p>
<p>We can tell you about how successful Community Expert Program agents are until we&#8217;re blue in the face, but it might be better if we let you hear it straight from them. Check out our latest testimonials after the jump, as well as instructions on how to get in on all the scorching action.</p>

<p>&#8220;I would caution anyone considering sponsoring zip codes. If you hate it when the phone rings-ALOT, this program is definitely not for you! Since we have been on we have connected with several serious investors and many, many serious RTG qualified buyers. We are currently in contract on several properties and have closed several others from leads we received from Foreclosure.com&#8221;</p></div>

We joined their buyer lead program recently and currently are working 61 prospective buyers from their buyer lead system.  So far, I&#8217;m thrilled over the results and keep begging for more exclusive zip codes in my area. Thanks for the excellent venue to attract buyers and help us sell our bank owned listings.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>

I get calls constantly from people trying to get the best deals that are out there and they see this on foreclosure.com they call me and next thing you know I am out there showing them property. For the amount of money I spend now its really worth it to be part of foreclosure.com. Love it, Love It!&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>

Within 2 days, I began receiving phone calls and emails from prospective buyers. I started working with my first buyer on April 13th.
