Only Paying $299 Per Month - June 2011
"With the help of Tru Pro and CRN I now own my own home. The Realtor was wonderful and we are still in touch. The bank helped me to get a loan when other banks couldn't.

Saved Over $50,000 on Home - March 2009
"My name is Trina and after calling and requesting a foreclosure list from CRN I found a home that I had already looked at under foreclosure. The asking cost at the time was over $200,000. I got the house for less than $150,000 with 3 beds, 2 1/2 baths, and over 3.4 acres of land and a load of opportunities. I am very pleased with the program. Thanks so much."

Immediately Fell in Love with Home - February 2009
"Our Story! On November 16, 2008, I called the 1-800 number provided by a radio advertisement regarding foreclosed homes. After receiving the paper copy of listings in my area in the mail I began looking at the homes. My fiancè and I visited one that we both immediately fell in love with. It had some flaws, but overall the house was perfect for what we were looking for and it had a huge fenced back yard for our Cocker Spaniel. Although the price was already close to $12,000 under the county assessment, we put in an offer for even less and got the property for a bargain! The closing went smoothly and we’re happy to say that as of our closing date, February 6, 2009, we’re now proud homeowners with the help of Consumer Resource Network’s foreclosed home listings!"

The House was a "Steal" - October 2008
"My name is Molly and I was skeptical about trying CRN at first. But I gave it a shot anyway and I can proudly say I am finally a home owner. It only took me 3 months to find a property I liked from the listings. The house was a steal. It listed for $92,000 and I purchased it for $70,500. My family and I could not be happier. Thank you very much for offering this listing. Without it I probably would still be searching for a home."
- Molly H.

Bought for $7,000 Less Than List Price - September 2008
"My name is Tim and I called for a CRN foreclosure list. After looking it over I found a place that I wanted to look at and contacted a buddy of mine who was a realtor. After that we submitted an offer and I ended up buying the place for $7,000 less than it was listed. The seller also fixed the water and AC unit for me. And now, I’m getting my first month’s mortgage paid for thanks to CRN."

Will remain CRN member after finding home in less than 2 weeks - April 2008
"I joined the program on line February 7, 2008. I did not wait to receive the packet, I went to the web site and printed out possibilities for our new home. We looked at several properties. In less than two weeks we found what would become our new home. The foreclosed property was already scheduled to go up for bid over the internet. We had to obtain financing and obtain a letter of guaranty and submit an offer to the seller. We offered $131,000.00 and the seller paid 4% of the closing cost. Our new home required some cosmetic work to be done before we could move in. We moved into our new home May 2, 2008 and are very happy with our find. We intend to remain members of Consumer Resource Network for possible investment properties. THANK YOU CONSUMER RESOURCE NETWORK FOR OUR NEW HOME!"
- Steve and Carolyn M.

Found Dream Home for a Great Price - March 2008
"I first subscribed to Consumer Resource Network in January and while there were several listings on the internet right away, it paid off to keep the service for a while so that I could take advantage of viewing new listings as they became available. By the end of March I had found my dream home and closed on it at a really great price. And when I say it paid off, I really mean it. I was successful in taking advantage of Consumer Resource Network offer to send me $1,000 towards my mortgage, and it arrived as promised."
- Rosa E.

Saved $16,000 - February 2008
"My name is Tommy and I called CRN for a foreclosure list. The very first one I check out I nailed and thank god I even got $16,000 less than the price they were asking. I will just go ahead and tell you they wanted $39,999. I gave them $23,500 and it even had 2 acres of land with it. There is about $3,000 worth of renovation or remodeling to do but that is it. It has a big front porch and a 2-car garage built on to it and the living room has a beautiful fireplace with custom fitted cabinets on both sides. I will be an old man in a rocking chair overlooking my land sitting on the porch of my house on the hill with a peaceful mind and a settled heart. Thank god for CRN."
