Often homeowners need to sell their properties fast, whether it’s because of default situations, job relocations or some other unexpected life-changing events.

Under these conditions and time constraints selling homes can be stressful and seemingly impossible. That is of course unless there is a strong demand for homes in certain areas.

For those homeowners who need extra assistance Foreclosure.com now offers the services of knowledgeable and professional buyers in local areas across the nation who can help. For more information and assistance click here.

In addition, we have been showcasing several of the homes on our real estate forum. Of course, all of this marketing and exposure is FREE of charge. Our goal is simply to provide a space in which motivated buyers and sellers can connect and discuss all things real estate.

For example, Foreclosure.com recently received a submission from a seller about a beautiful home in Bradenton, Fla. It’s a two story Gothic Victorian in an historic neighborhood with a woodburning fireplace, updated kitchen, granite countertops, silgranite sink, formal living room, formal dining room, sun room, screened in front porch and more.

At Foreclosure.com, we’re all about connecting investors with the hottest real estate bargains on the market.

And even though our bread and butter involves distressed real estate such as foreclosures, there are other lucrative options on the market such as For Sale by Owner (FSBO) homes that we feature on our Web site.

FSBOs are great because the homeowner already feels that he or she is saving money off the net profit because an agent or broker is not involved. Therefore, it’s often possible to factor that in to the negotiating process.

There are other subtle advantages, too, which come along with buying FSBOs that can really make a financial difference if the right situation emerges.

Consider this from a recent article in the Orlando Sentinel:

“Real estate agents will not show a FSBO because they are afraid of not getting paid and of losing the buyer who might want to do the deal without them.”

Indeed, sellers often face a uphill battles when it comes to unloading their own homes — especially if it is new to them.

Case in point: A FSBO seller is at the mercy of everyone who calls or knocks on the door. There is often no way to “qualify” buyers prior to negotiation when it comes to FSBOs, which means the sellers can waste tons of time on deals that will never come to fruition.

In addition, buyers sometimes shy away from FSBO homes because of fear legal problems and intricate paperwork will be too hard to resolve without the help of an experienced professional.

We tend to agree on the last point.

If interested in a FSBO home, it is highly recommended that a lawyer or some other experienced individual is involved in the process to ensure that the deal is done right.

Short of that, the possibilities are endless when it comes to purchasing a FSBO. With patience and the proper negotiating skills, it’s possible to land a really beautiful home for less than current market value.

Remember: Leverage the information we briefly mentioned above to secure the deal that is right for you …. this is your time to shine.

There are numerous foreclosure Web sites out on the Web. None of them, however, have a reputation for excellence and reporting responsible national foreclosure statistics like Foreclosure.com.

That’s because we’ve been at this since 1999. And even before we set up shop on the Internet, our executives such as President and CEO, Brad Geisen, had been successful in the foreclosure market for decades.

For today’s post, we want to pass along a little history on our company and related Web sites.

ForeclosureFreeSearch (www.ForeclosureFreeSearch.com) is the site that launched our successful business online back in 1999. In fact, this was among the first sites on the Web to provide online listings of foreclosures for sale.

Our founder, Brad Geisen — an accomplished real estate broker/investor — understood the value of putting foreclosure listings online for people to search for free. Brokers in turn would pay for the sellers leads.

ForeclosureFreeSearch.com quickly became a popular Web site. However, we did not see any significant returns as for one reason or another on the business side of things. Perhaps, the connect between site visitors and the brokers lost us in the mix.

As a result, we decided to switch to a monthly subscription model and continued on that path.

Over time, we started up the Web site Foreclosure.com because the foreclosure free search model wasn’t really where we knew it needed to be.

ForeclosureFreeSearch.com still exists and is an integral part of our business, but now Foreclosure.com is our main flagship and we try to provide all of the most up to date products on the Web site. This includes even more accurate foreclosure listings.

Today, our business has grown in to tax liens (www.taxliens.com), preforeclosures (www.preforeclosure.com) and FSBO Homes (www.forsaleownerhomes.com).

Together, all of these sites provide the best distressed real estate opportunities on the Web and represent tremendous investment opportunities.
