More good news coming from the Foreclosure.com Community Expert Program (CEP).

We’ve already detailed several testimonials from busy, profit-earning CEP agents here, here, here and here. Today we have more positive experiences to share below from satisfied members of our nationwide network.

Our formula for success is as simple as 1, 2, 3:

1. Get noticed — Thousands of buyers search for properties in your area and recognize YOU as their go-to person.
2. Get connected — Buyers connect with YOU as a real estate expert. Calls and emails start pouring in.
3. Close deals — Build relationships today and close the deals tomorrow. Earn more money.

CEP is straightforward and effective. No nonsense, just solid leads from motivated buyers.

On the flip side, buyers benefit from knowledgeable and helpful real estate professionals who all go the extra mile to ensure total client satisfaction.

It’s the perfect real estate tool.

But enough of that, let’s hear what the latest batch of agents have to say about our CEP:

“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’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’s ready to list it with me now. It’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’ve gotten some tire kickers and lookie-loo’s but that’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.“

“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 ‘Thank You’ to Sharon at Foreclosure.com — she has been helpful and is very friendly. You guys should give her a raise! Seriously!“

Several of Century 21’s top real estate agents from throughout the nation recently descended on the Westin Diplomat in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to participate in a training retreat.

Century 21 — the world’s largest residential real estate sales organization — recently selected Foreclosure.com Agent University to put a select group of industry professionals through its Certified Foreclosure Agent training program.

This is a career-building certification course designed specifically for individuals who are interested in foreclosures and expanding their business to include sales of Real Estate Owed (REO) properties, short sales and other distressed real estate.

All of the Century 21 agents who participated in the comprehensive learning experience were required to complete and pass an exam for each of the three topics presented receive their Certified Foreclosure Agent “Specialist” designation. For more background on the “Specialist” designation click here.

We had such a great group — many of agents flew in a day early and left a day late because of opportunity to travel to South Florida and, in the process, take home skills that will grow their businesses.

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.

It’s a huge buyer pool — 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.

In fact, our online traffic has never been better, reaching all-time records month-over-month since the start of 2009.

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.

Hear what just a handful of them have to say this time around:

“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.”

“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.”

The success continues for real estate agents nationwide who are taking advantage of the Foreclosure.com Community Expert Program (CEP).

We’ve already detailed several testimonials from busy, profit-earning CEP agents here and here.

Today, it’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.

Foreclosures are hot and getting hotter. It’s that simple.

Buyers — more than 6.5 million of them each month — 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 — nearly two million of them throughout the United States — are servicing all these leads.

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 — just check out our latest testimonials from more satisfied agents after the jump … and there’s more on the way:

“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.”

“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’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’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’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!”

“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!”

“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 professionalism 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’m very satisfied.”

This is a “SMART” car for more than one reason.

It was spotted in a Home Depot parking lot over the weekend near our corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. As you can see, the energy-conscious vehicle stands apart from the endless sea of cars in the crowded parking lot.

And not just because of it’s unique compact design.

Leveraging a small space, this real estate agent tandem took an opportunity to promote their services within the community by wrapping the car with a clever marketing message. Without the message it’s just another SMART car driving around town.

In this tough economic climate, successful agents are going above and beyond the ordinary methods of building their businesses. What worked five years ago doesn’t necessarily cut it anymore. And since more than 70 percent of homebuyers start their real estate searches online, expensive traditional print ads just don’t have the same impact … or return on investment.

Indeed, homebuyers today are savvy — they understand what’s going on around them and are looking to save big money on home purchases. This reality is underscored with preforeclosures and foreclosures selling at a rate of 2-1 over non-distressed real estate.

So bargain shoppers are out on the Internet in full force. It’s no coincidence, therefore, that most of them end up on Foreclosure.com — the name says it all.

Many of the folks who search Foreclosure.com do not currently have agent representation. It’s the reason we launched our Community Expert Program, which provides exactly what it says — a community agent expert to help homebuyers achieve their goals of homeownership.

Many of our agents have had overwhelming success with this program. It accomplishes two things:

1. Assists homebuyers with finding incredible deals
2. Directs homebuyers to the “cream-of-the crop” agents in their communities

Homebuyers can find community experts on each property details page just under the listing address. An agents name, photo and complete contact info are displayed. So just do a quick home search on Foreclosure.com and you will be on your way toward connecting with the community expert in your area.

If you are an agent who would like to be considered as a community expert click here.

The Foreclosure.com Community Expert Program (CEP) continues to roll, connecting real estate agents with 1,000’s of potential buyers in their local areas for less than the cost of one open house ad.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, the good news is that it is indeed a fact.

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’s the best and most cost effective online marketing program available anywhere.

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.

In fact, Foreclosure.com — already America’s largest and most trusted source for distressed real estate information — is among the top 20 online real estate destinations on the Web, placing twelfth for visits on a recent report from HitWise.com — the leading online competitive intelligence service — for the week ending on Feb. 28.

This business has always been about “Location, Location and Location.” And it doesn’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.

We can tell you about how successful Community Expert Program agents are until we’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.

Someone might want to tell the members of the Foreclosure.com Community Expert Program (CEP) that the national housing market is struggling. That’s because they won’t be able to tell based on their booming businesses.

It doesn’t get much better than that.

We market individual agent services to literally millions of potential buyers as their local real estate expert on our Web site for less than the cost of one open house ad.

It’s an industry niche that is thriving as traditional sales continue to lag across the board. In fact, reports indicate that more than 45 percent of real estate transactions today involve some sort of distressed or foreclosure property.

“Foreclosures are red hot right now,” said Foreclosure.com General Sales Manager, Anthony Segrich. “Smart buyers are aware of what’s going on — inventory is increasing around them, home prices are falling and government incentives are now temporarily available for first-time homebuyers. It’s the perfect time to achieve the American Dream and more than likely save big while doing it.”

Foreclosure.com, which maintains the most comprehensive and reliable database of more than 1.8 million distressed real estate listings nationwide, facilitates the sale of homes in several ways, working hand-in-hand with the three main groups that are involved in the process: Lenders, agents and buyers.

According to Segrich, Foreclosure.com has forged powerful partnerships with several of the top lending institutions in the United States to help them market their listings on Foreclosure.com, which attracts millions of curious buyers from around the world each month.

Foreclosure.com features these lender-owned listings on its Web site, as well as the contact information of the appropriate agents/brokers. And if the lender does not have an agent or broker, Foreclosure.com will provide a qualified professional from its Broker Network — the number one directory of its kind in the foreclosure industry.

Most of the real estate professionals in the Foreclosure.com Broker Network have received top-notch training on all aspects of the foreclosure process through the Certified Foreclosure Agent program. Offered through Foreclosure.com Agent University, Certified Foreclosure Agent courses are delivered in a candidate-friendly format that comprises live and pre-recorded online sessions that agents/brokers participate in from the convenience of their homes and offices.

“Our Broker Network and Certified Foreclosure Agent program are invaluable resources in today’s market,” said Segrich. “Knowledgeable foreclosure agents are in high demand right now. Agents and brokers everywhere have noticed this trend and are making the wise choice to swim with the tide. We simply facilitate the entire process and make it easier for them to participate in it.”

The opportunities for agents and brokers at Foreclosure.com don’t stop there.

Foreclosure.com has also enhanced a groundbreaking marketing program that helps real estate professionals close more buyer transactions through greater exposure and increased market awareness. Its Community Expert Program markets individual agent services to 1,000’s of potential buyers as their local real estate expert for less than the cost of one open house ad.

Foreclosure.com community experts appear directly on the property details pages for all records the company has on its Web site in their designated communities.

“I realized that in today’s real estate market I had to do something different to increase my client pool,” said Jordon Wheeler, a Realtor® in Stone Mountain, Ga., who is also a Community Expert. “As soon as I became a community expert I started to receive three to four referrals per week from Foreclosure.com. The advice I offer to other agents is to think differently … it works!”

Foreclosure.com is confident that opportunities for agents and brokers will continue to increase with the surge in Web site traffic and increased interest from buyers to capitalize on foreclosure deals. And that’s just fine by Segrich and the dynamic network of real estate professionals who are working alongside Foreclosure.com to keep the market moving as fast as possible.

“Foreclosure.com is putting all the pieces of this puzzle in place to ensure the success of our current and future partners,” he said. “Our network of real estate professionals is enjoying success thanks to the unique programs we currently offer. We look forward to continued growth in 2009, 2010 and beyond.”
