Welcome to Real Property Defense Research!

We are real people, like you; and we’ve been through foreclosure – like what it appears that you are going through – and we have shaped more positive outcomes.

Quick Update

Our focus has primarily been outreach to post-foreclosure people regarding our research to maximize time in homes and/or real cash-for-keys rather than just hand the keys to the banks/investors (and leave tens of thousands of dollars in value on the table); however, we have learned of a new opportunity to extend the trustee’s sale date out 45 – 90 days when timely acted on. At the urging of several of our post-sale people, we are now making outreach e-mails, calls, and texts to people with as much lead time prior to the trustee’s sale date as we can since, in order to leverage this opportunity, the foreclosure trustee must receive certain information by mail by 5:00 PM five business days prior to the trustee’s sale date.

A quick note about our outreach

We do use a combination of e-mail, telephone calls, and text with intent to leave one e-mail, make one call (and if possible leave one text message) to each email address and phone number that we believe is associated with the foreclosed property.

Unfortunately, we sometimes call (text) outdated phone numbers. If you are the recipient of such call (or if you are uninterested), please accept our apology and please know that we only make the one outreach call/text prior to the trustee’s sale and one after the trustee’s sale. We appreciate your understanding.

For pre and post-sale people who find the information here helpful; unfortunately, we will not be making a second call to you. Please do contact us back at your earliest convenience. We are easy to talk to; we care; and we want to share information that we believe can be helpful.

About us…

Our research team-members each have direct personal experience with navigating our own foreclosure and post-foreclosure situations. Each of us could have given up pre-foreclosure or abandoned our homes or accepted breadcrumbs-for-keys from the winning bidder banks or investors post-foreclosure; however, we decided to take the road less-traveled; and, by doing so, we have each shaped a more positive outcome for ourselves. Each of us is passionate about advancing our core research focused and achieving optimal outcomes for people going through the foreclosure process or the post-foreclosure eviction process.

If your home recently went to auction, we invite you to browse these pages, listen to audio testimonials, consider the 2018-present results (allow time to load), and take some comfort in knowing that good people who have been through what you are going through want to share our research so that you can shape an optimal outcome for yourself as well.  

We run experiments that focus on maximizing time and/or money for people in or after foreclosure such as:

  1. Slowing down the foreclosure process so that homeowners have time to catch up, sell, and or pursue other alternatives;
  2. Slowing down the post-foreclosure eviction process;
  3. Challenging the foreclosure sale (for those with passion and the resources to do so);
  4. Claiming surplus sale proceeds for those who may be entitled to them.

And the good news is that those who leverage our research and participate in our experiments; whether their properties are valued $200,000, $2,000,000, or $20,000,000; are generally able to shape a more positive outcome when they take the right actions (i.e. actions that are different than what the mainstream guides us to take).

How does the mainstream guide us?

The mainstream offers much guidance that we view as counterproductive to optimal outcomes.

Those who leverage our research stay in their homes, and most only use an attorney for important hearings – usually less than four appearances per year.
