American Foreclosures
was founded in 1992 as a monthly listing service; a resource for
home buyers and real estate investors, providing pre-foreclosure and
bank foreclosure listings of distressed properties in New York & New
Jersey.

The monthly magazine American Foreclosures & Auctions
developed from that in 1993 and included bank & government
foreclosure listings in the states of Connecticut, Florida &
Pennsylvania. It quickly became the source of exceptional values in
the New York and New Jersey area. Banks and government agencies with
REOs to sell came to rely upon American Foreclosures & Auctions as a
responsible means of directly disseminating information in regards
to pre-foreclosure and foreclosure listings to interested parties.
Since our readers were also interested in other types of "good
deals," we began including auction information about cars, boats,
jewelry, art and other merchandise. Expanding coverage of more
counties, more states and more banks helped the magazine progress to
its current status. Along with the increased editorial content came
growth in circulation and distribution. American Foreclosures &
Auctions can now be purchased in over 4,000 locations throughout New
York and New Jersey including Barnes & Noble Bookstores, Borders
Books & Music, Quick Chek shops, many 7-11 convenience stores,
newsstands and other locations.It wasn't long before our readers
demanded more! And more good deals were on the way. We introduced
the Business Opportunities section and later, our popular Handyman
Specials section, complete with photos.
Currently, each month we include informative, instructional
articles about buying, fixing & selling properties including
distressed properties. Many articles are contributed by experts in
the fields of financing, renovation, and legal issues.
Known as the "Bible of the Industry," American Foreclosures &
Auctions magazine was once described as "Legal Insider Information"
by Allan Dalton, Vice President of the former Murphy Realty/Better
Homes & Gardens.

Craig Laube, the publisher of American Foreclosures & Auctions
became a weekly guest on the popular radio show "Foreclosure Forum"
which aired on WEVD 1050 AM in New York. The host, Joyce Aponte, is
a well known and respected real estate broker who specializes in
selling foreclosure properties in New Jersey. Craig and Joyce were
asked to appear at numerous home buyer fairs and financial expos
throughout the tri-state area. Their one hour "How To" seminar
became so popular at these events that they eventually scheduled
full day seminars to accommodate the demand. These thorough,
classroom style workshops were hosted by a distinguished panel of
experts including representatives from the Veteran's Association
(VA), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as well as financial
experts, lawyers, home inspectors, credit specialists and Realtors.
Unable to meet the demand for these workshops, Craig and Joyce
collaborated on the all inclusive: "How To Buy & Sell Foreclosures"
guide. This instructional book which illustrates everything you'll
want to know about buying, fixing and selling foreclosure
properties, is available now at major bookstores or you can purchase
a copy here for $29.00.
In response to the growing excitement about pre-foreclosure and
foreclosure properties, we've created this web site. It accommodates
the interests of everyone; from first-time home buyers to seasoned
investors! Best of all, it is updated multiple times every day.
Another program, currently expanding, is the American
Foreclosures Network. We will be working in cooperation with
realtors nationwide to serve our customers even better. Look for
updates on this site as the network grows! |
