Q. How does PropertyHookup.com calculate the property's COMPARABLE VALUE?
|
|
|
|
A. That's our secret recipe and will not be given away easily. Our COMPARABLE VALUE Calculation Engine is exclusively our own and produces value estimates that no other source available on the web can compete with. NONE OF THE COMPETITORS: Zillow.com, HouseValues.com or Yahoo! HomeValues come near the accuracy we provide. This allows us to accurately value properties and identify properties available 10% OR MORE BELOW VALUE. Top >>>

Q. What is a Foreclosure?
|
|
|
A. A Foreclosure occurs when a homeowner misses his or her payments and defaults on the mortgage. Property in foreclosure is often referred to as "distressed" because the owner is in financial distress and is behind on his or her payments. The owner's financial distress can be caused by a variety of unfortunate circumstances. This often results in a bargain buying opportunity for a well-informed homebuyer or investor, who can end up helping the homeowner avoid serious credit problems. Top >>>
|
|
|
Q. What is a Pre-Foreclosure?
|
|
|
A. Pre-foreclosure represents the first stage in the foreclosure process. In this phase, the homeowner has missed at least one payment and is now considered delinquent on the loan. Buying a property in pre-foreclosure involves approaching the owner in default with an opportunity for the owner to escape the burdens of foreclosure. Your goal is to help the homeowner navigate through this challenging situation, relieve them of the growing mortgage debt and ultimately to avoid foreclosure. For the buyer, pre-foreclosures offer potential discounts of 20% to 40% below market value, while helping out someone in distress (the owner).

|
|
|
Q. What happens if I signup but do not use the website?
|
|
|
A. Since you are paying for access to the website (as opposed to actually using the website), you will still be charged. The only way to ensure you do not get charged the monthly fees is to cancel before your Trial or term expires. While some customers may disagree with this policy, we ask that you think of a newspaper subscription. You are paying for having access to that newspaper, not for actually having read the newspaper. You will still pay their subscription fees even if you never read their content. The analogy holds true for cable TV, phone bills, gym memberships, etc. You pay their fees regardless of actual usage, and our subscription operates in the same manner. We have found it's the only way to provide this valuable service for such a low monthly fee, as it would cost you thousands of dollars and countless hours to find and access this information yourself. Remember that you can also SAVE thousands of dollars using PropertyHookup.com, which is huge compared to the small monthly fee you pay to access PropertyHookup.com.

|
Q. Can I save a lot of money buying foreclosures?
|
|
|
A. YES, you can! There are many people buying foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, and fixer uppers -- and saving an enormous amount of money doing it. This is because a foreclosed property is considered "distressed" by the seller, who wants to sell the property quickly. When a seller is motivated to sell quickly, it can result in prices substantially below market value. This means a great opportunity for you!
Top >>>
|
|
|
Q. Are there a lot of listings available?
|
|
|
A. Yes, this is perhaps the best time in decades to buy discounted real estate. The historic housing boom of the last 10 years led to predatory and allegedly unethical lending by aggressive lenders and banks. This led to homeowners being approved for loans that they could not afford, especially when the adjustable interest rates increased and the payments skyrocketed. Combine these higher payments with a flat housing market, and you end up with many homeowners simply giving up on their home or leaving it for the bank to repossess.

|
|
Q. Where does PropertyHookup.com get its information?
|
|
|
A. Our COMPARABLE VALUE Calculating Engine is exclusively our own and produces value estimates that no other source available on the web can compete with. This allows us to accurately value and identify properties available under value. As for our listings, PropertyHookup.com uses various sources for property listings. Because we market foreclosures, Repos, Pre-foreclosures, Short sales, Fixer Uppers and FSBO's, we have active contracts with numerous data providers that provide us with property listings, updated daily. We also comb through public information sources to ensure you have the most accurate, comprehensive listings available. This information and technology costs THOUSANDS of dollars each month, but we are able to amortize those costs across all our customers, allowing us to charge a nominal monthly fee.

|
|
|
Advertising - Any HTML links within the listings will automatically remove your property from the search results. (IE. click here for more info http://yoursite.com). Web links CAN be put in your My Info area. We will include your website on certain pages relative to your property. |
|
|
ALL CAPS TO GAIN MORE ATTENTION TO YOUR PROPERTY LISTING!! SEEMS LIKE WE ARE YELLING AT YOU, RIGHT? Our customers do not like to see all caps in property listings. |
|
|
Incorrect Address - If you aren't including the correct property address, it means we can't plot the property on our map. Make sure you spell out your addresses (ie Main Street instead of Main St.) |

|
|
|
Q. My Property Listing was showing up "first" on your list yesterday, but now it's lower on the list. What happened?
|
|
|
A. We "rank" each property based on price, discount and how much content you provide in the property's listing. For instance, if you ONLY provide a title, and basic information about the property, it will generally appear lower in our rankings, than if you went over and above and provided as much information as you know about the property. We update our listings daily, so you have the opportunity of editing your listing to provide more information to receive a higher "ranking".
Top >>>
|
|
|
Q. Will my property achieve a higher ranking if I provide photos??
|
|
|
A. Photos will help boost your property's exposure, but our ranking system isn't solely dependent on how many Photos you attach to the property. Also, provide as much information about your property as you can. Make sure you describe your property in the Titles, and use up the description fields as much as possible.
