I was able to find a home with the help of Dan from the Member Services Dept...

"...at Bargain Network. It is a 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, den and dining room for $49,000.

Buying this property I knew I had a lot of work to do, painting, new carpet, re-build the kitchen entirely. The den had to be completely redone and the shower was filthy. The outside was almost as bad, there was trees everywhere with leaves and broken branches on a lot 170' x 70'.

I've spent a lot of money renovating this house, the bathrooms and den had to be fixed, but it's all very nice now. Thanks to Dan, he's a doll.

It was a real joyful experience working with Bargain Network I'd do it again if we needed to.

"I took a list of homes from bargain.com HOMES section, the house that caught my eye was probably 3rd or 4th on the list of homes I copied down.

We loved it. It was a double but we can turn it into a single. It is in need of some T.L.C., we're going to do it ourselves, it'll be fun. Some of the homes we got off the realtors website were sold, as far as we know the homes we found on Bargain Network weren't sold.

It was a real joyful experience working with Bargain Network I'd do it again if we needed to.

Thanks - Bargain Network.

I'm glad I called Bargain Network that day.

"It was for sale by owner - I found it through Bargain Network.

It was priced a little below market value, not a huge savings, 3 bedroom for $187,000 but better than a Realtor's price.

I'm glad I called Bargain Network that day.

Thank you all for your help and guidance.

This is just what I was looking for, a duplex. I've got a cheap mortgage my tenant will pay, so I can put money back into the house as it will need some tender loving care.

The house has a new roof, siding and heat, with upgraded electricity throughout. One duplex is 5 bedrooms, 1 ½ bath. I got an FHA conventional loan for the $72,000 purchase price.

Thank you all for your help and guidance.

That's when I just knew it was a dream come true.

It was a God-sent blessing. The first day I signed up I looked at some information on line. I was a bit skeptical at first, because it sounded too good to be true. Then I saw the house. That's when I just knew it was a dream come true.

I closed in three weeks. Thank you Bargain Network. I have my house and I no longer pay rent to others.

I was a member of Bargain Network for just a little over a month when I found the exact home I was looking for.

At first I had my doubts. I didn't think there would be much to choose from in my area and price range.

I received a prompt update of local listings and in two months there it was, a 2-bedroom 1-bath bungalow for $17,100. I am now a homeowner.

Thanks,

This does work. If everybody knew how well, Bargain Network could be helping a lot more people.

I found and bought my new home in just two months with help from Bargain Network.

I phoned you one night, and someone did a home search for me. I was the first to see the house and couldn't believe my eyes. The house was on more than two acres of land, with 4 bedrooms and 1½ baths, for just $47,500.

This does work. If everybody knew how well, Bargain Network could be helping a lot more people. With the house payment as low as a car payment, this is a great deal.

Thank you all again!

I'm now getting an income on my rental and enjoying my new living quarters.

I contacted a realtor that was listed by Bargain Network. The realtor showed me an abundance of properties. I found what I was looking for, at the price I wanted to pay.

My fiancé and I couldn't be happier.

The place is great. They are apartments being turned into condos. Everything is being done throughout the building. The price, $165,000, and location, "Elmdale Condos," are wonderful.

My fiancé and I couldn't be happier. This is a great deal and a wonderful opportunity for us. We couldn't have found this without Bargain Network.

Thanks,

It satisfied my criteria for a good home.

I was enthralled to find that there was a condominium for sale not far from where I work. I contacted a real estate agent and went to see the property. It satisfied my criteria for a good home.

I only paid $14,000 for it.

The house I bought was built in 1880. It is newly sided, with a mudroom, and a wrought iron storm door. It has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a large kitchen, laundry room, and a formal dining room. It needed some cosmetic work like minor roof replacing and a new furnace. I only paid $14,000 for it. Mom & dad loaned me the money (I'll pay them back).

If it weren't for Bargain Network I would never have looked at the house, even though it was only one mile from where I lived.

Thank You,

I bought a 2,900 square foot house with 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths at an unbelievable price of $260,000.

Bargain Network is the right place to find your dream home. Thank you so much, I couldn't have done it without you!

I went back on June 19th and made a slightly higher offer of $32,000, which they accepted.

I received a Bargain Network property listing on June 9th, 2000, and called a Real Estate office to look at a place. Shortly after I made my first offer, which was turned down on June 16th . I went back on June 19th and made a slightly higher offer of $32,000, which they accepted.

I should have the place fixed up and back on the market by the first of August.

I'm happy to say I'm purchasing my very first home which I found through Bargain Network.

I saw an ad in the newspaper for "Real Estate in your area," called the number and signed up with Bargain Network.

It was very helpful to view only the homes in specific areas I was interested in purchasing. I looked for about two weeks and began to drive by the homes to check them out.

I'm happy to say I'm purchasing my very first home which I found through Bargain Network. My husband, two daughters and I will be in the new house in two weeks.

Thank you Bargain Network.

This home was a foreclosure, brick, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a porch in a country setting.

I found a 1921 beautiful, rustic style home with wooden floors, two fireplaces, sitting on an acre of land.

This home was a foreclosure, brick, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a porch in a country setting. We had a lot of inspectors checking out everything. It needed a lot of work, but it was well worth it.

Thanks folks!

Without Bargain Network's guidance this home would never have been ours.

We were able to purchase a home right around the corner from our current home. We got a 2500 sq.ft. home along with 2.25 acres for $ 25,000. Naturally, it needs renovating but the land alone was worth $28,000.

Without Bargain Network's guidance this home would never have been ours. I was on the telephone to the Member Services Department daily, asking questions and having them do foreclosure searches for me on their website.

With your service, us small players have a fighting chance.

I've only been a member with your service for about a month. I placed a bid on one of the houses you listed and I'm pleased to tell you I won the bid. Just yesterday I signed the papers and we'll settle December 5th. I purchased the house for $50,000. The house is appraised for $130,000.

I just want to THANK YOU for this service. I would have never been able to make a deal like this one without it.

The big players acquire these types of deals before they hit the market. With your service, us small players have a fighting chance.

Thank you again,

Your service was essential in finding the right places.

Used your excellent service to look for low priced, needs work foreclosure. I went to sites and looked at 5 before finding this one. A foreclosure in need of repairs, $32,000, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, on 1.4 acres.

Your service was essential in finding the right places. It's also important to do something quickly.

Thank You,
