Do YOU Live Next To a NEGLECTED Foreclosed Home?
Are Foreclosed Homes In Your Neighborhood Driving Down Property Values?
What can you do about it?
A Murrieta homeowner Mark McKinzie was fed up with the the flood of neglected foreclosures in Southern California. He lived next door to a foreclosed lawn that had a black lawn that had been that way since April 2007. So, he launched his own watchdog web site to hold lenders accountable.
Just go to 
www.lenderoffender.com
There you can post a picture of the offending property along with information about which bank owns the property. The website then ranks the worst lender offenders, with Fannie Mae topping the list so far. Mark says it's working. "I am putting these lenders on the spot in hopes that they will actually take notice of these properties."
Just days after launching www.lenderoffender.com, Wells Fargo contacted mark about this
property and suddenly
landscapers showed up to plant a new lawn.
Nothing Beats A Failure (But A Try).
Have A Great Day and
Make This YOUR Best Year Ever

Leander, that is awesome! Nothing like some public pressure for individuals and companies to perform
Love it

Morning Leander,
Thanks for sharing this information. We have a couple of properties locally that would benefit.
BTW, like the new picture.
What a great idea, thanks for the link and information about this site. There are several in my area that should be added. Don't know which banks own them, but no one is taking care of them and with spring around the corner, the yards are just going to be more of a mess.
Leander,
Great blog. Everyone is responsible for the upkeep of their neighborhood. Especially the banks!
Great ost, Leander. Nice to hold people accountable. I know that my husband and I saw five vacant properties on one street on a nice weekend drive a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing how quickly things can get out of hand and make a neighborhood look dowdy.
