Success Stories
Real estate challenges rarely come with a simple instruction manual. Whether you are facing an urgent timeline, dealing with complex estate paperwork, or trying to figure out how to access your equity without leaving money on the table, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Explore our success stories below to see how our unique approach as a licensed Pennsylvania broker and creative investment specialist helps property owners turn difficult situations into fair, successful outcomes.
Case Study 1: The “Double Equity” Save
The Problem: A homeowner received a “Quick Cash” offer from an unlicensed investor for $110,000. The homeowner felt pressured and unsure if they were leaving money on the table.
The Cribs Solution (A): As a licensed Broker, Dan performed a professional equity audit. He determined that with a strategic “as-is” MLS listing, the home could fetch significantly more.
The Result (A): Cribs listed the property and secured a buyer at $165,000. After commissions, the client walked away with $45,000 more than the original “investor” Offer.
The Cribs Solution (B): As a former licensed appraiser, Dan performed a professional equity audit and determined that Cribs LLC as the buyer could offer the homeowner $125,000 for their home and make an acceptable return on its sale after renovation.
The Result (B): Cribs LLC, purchased the property in “as is” condition in 15 days netting the seller $15,000.00 more than the “Quick Cash” offer under more stable & secured circumstances.
The mission and purpose is that all parties “win” in a real estate transaction.
Case Study 2: The Foreclosure “Front Line” Rescue
The Problem: A family was facing a Writ of Possession and an imminent eviction due to a complex mortgage dispute.
The Cribs Solution: Drawing on 30+ years of experience as a Foreclosure Broker for the VA and HUD, Dan stepped in to negotiate directly with the lender’s special asset department utilizing a “Authorized Third Party addendum”.
The Result: We successfully paused the eviction, cleared the title hurdles, and sold the property in time for the owners to save their credit and walk away with a check for their remaining equity.
Case Study 3: The “Inherited Headache” (Estate/Tax Lien)
The Problem: Heirs inherited a property burdened with years of unpaid property taxes. They had no cash to fix the property and no idea how to clear the debt.
The Cribs Solution: Cribs LLC acted as a Creative Investment Specialist. We navigated the taxing authorities to settle the liens and purchased the home directly, handling 100% of the legal paperwork and clean-out.
The Result: The heirs were relieved of the legal burden within 14 days and received a fair payout without ever having to step foot in the property.
Case Study 4: “I have significant equity in my home but have been denied for ‘cash out’ refinance and home equity loans due to credit & income issues”
The Problem: Homeowners have over 100% equity in their home. They want access to some of the equity to do “whatever they want”. But they have been turned down by conventional banks and lenders due to credit, income and/or asset issues.
The Solution: Cribs LLC connected the homeowners with its Trusted Subprime Lending Partner. Founder Dan McIntosh has personally used all of the selected Partners for both his personal and business needs.
The Result: The home owners obtained the “cash-out” refi they needed.
