Why Choose RETRAN?

Unlike other providers that either buy their data from a national provider or resell outdated foreclosure information, RETRAN is a "foreclosure abstractor" that collects its data directly from the County Recorder everyday and makes it available to you immediately. Also, since we specialize in collecting foreclosure information in these specific areas, we can ensure that we provide the most complete and accurate information to you. Lastly, it's simple to get started and easy-to-use software features allow you to manage your leads more efficiently, saving you countless hours and giving you a complete profile of the properties you are working on.

What specifically sets us apart from our competitors?
  • Detailed Foreclosure Information: Each record in our system includes all of the foreclosure information directly from the document itself. This includes, but is not limited to, the actual default date, first missed payment date, estimated monthly payment amount, defaulted amounts (arrears), estimated payoff, and principal loan amounts. We pull this all from the document so that you don't have to.


  • **Exclusive**Phone Numbers: We provide up to 5 verified homeowner phone numbers for each record at no additional cost. We have access to over 100,000,000 non directory assistance numbers - compare this to any other provider and you will start to see what separates RETRAN from the competition.


  • Property Profile Information: Included with each record is the complete property profile from the tax assessors office, including the property type, size, bedrooms, baths, lot size, tax amounts, and much more.


  • Property Values: Through our integration with ©Zillow, we are able to provide you with Market Value of each property (Zestimates). This comprehensive property information gives you the basis to begin your due diligence. We calculate the Market Value, Loan to Value, and Equity for you, so you can quickly pull out the properties that meet your criteria.


  • Comparables: Up-to-Date Comparables with access to sales history, tax information and more. Our comparables are extremely accurate and will save you hours of research. Gone are the days when you need multiple windows open going back and forth between multiple programs.


  • Abridged Title Chain*: Up to 10 Open Trust Deeds, Loans, and other Liens on the property included with each record. That's right, we provide "all" of the liens that are attached to the properties so that you don't get surprised by what is owed on the property. Compare this to the other services that only offer you information on the mortgages, or worse only the defaulted mortgage, and you will see why RETRAN is by far your best choice.


  • Comprehensive Search: Over 30 search criteria available to narrow the thousands of opportunities to the ones you want to find. Additionally, you can save and edit your searches. This feature is a time saver, and will keep you working the leads, instead of filling out search forms as you attempt to narrow your leads.


  • Document Images: View the actual recording document days before the homeowner even receives it in the mail. These documents are included FREE of charge for all records. Compare this to the other services that don't offer these documents, or that charge you $5 or $10 per document.


  • Favorites: Save your Favorite Leads in our system for easy lookups. Eliminate printing all those records and keep everything in one safe location.


  • **Exclusive**Auction Tracking: We call the Trustee and update the Auction information for you the day before, and the day after the auction. RETRAN has been providing this service for over 10 years. Other companies that sell you data, neglect to inform you that 95% of homes that are scheduled for auction get postponed or cancelled. This means that you might spend hours researching properties, only to show up at the auction to make a bid, to find out it was delayed. Since RETRAN verifies the auction status of each property daily, you will know of any delays, as well as the reason for those delays. We even tell you the next date that the auction is scheduled and track it for you inside the system. Using the complete due diligence tools provided in the system will know when it is time to go make your winning bid.


  • Many More to Come: Although the list of features above already puts us leaps and bounds in front of the competition, RETRAN continues to develop and improve our software. Additionally, we are always looking to the industry and to operations to find out how we can provide more information and get it faster. In the coming months you will continue to see improvements to the software and our data services.
Why choose a " Foreclosure Abstractor" ?

A "foreclosures abstractor" is any company that processes the foreclosure recordings themselves. This is a time consuming and extremely expensive process that only RETRAN has been able to master. Rather than purchasing older and incomplete data from he national title companies that place little or no urgency on foreclosures, we have gone the road less traveled. We do the work ourselves, and get it to you faster than anyone else.

We start by collecting 100% of the foreclosures filed at the county recorders offices each day. In almost all cases we have these recordings back to our offices that very same day. We then immediately put all of the document images through our proprietary data abstraction process which includes many safeguards to ensure that you receive the most timely, accurate, and complete data available on the market today. This process is so complex that it takes 2-days to complete, and when done you will have "all" of the available information aggregated and appended to each record from every source necessary to contact the owners, and make offers on properties. In short, we ensure that you have 100% of the due-diligence information necessary when working foreclosures. We leave nothing out!!!

Compare this to the other services that buy older and incomplete data from these national title companies and you will be amazed.

How long have you been around?

We have provided the best foreclosure data since 1984. We were the first to start providing our data through an electronic format, the first to provide a web site for delivering records through the internet, and now we have once again revolutionized the industry by providing the first all-in-one foreclosure lead management system. While the competition is trying to catch up to us, we continue to innovate and pull farther away from them. If you use another "LIST-ONLY" provider, you will have to compete with our clients and our services that have created more millionaires than any other service.

Do I have to install any software or backup my computer?

With our 100% web-based system, you will never have to perform any updates, download or back-up any data files, or install any software! Just log on to the system and immediately start finding the data you need to succeed.

Where do you get the phone numbers?

The numbers that we provide to you at no additional cost come from the industry leader. We have a protected, confidential, and proprietary process that retrieves high quality and accurate phone numbers. We have access to over 50,000,000 un-published records! This saves you hours of time and the cost ($100's of dollars every month) looking up phone numbers yourself. Compare the numbers that RETRAN provides to Accurint, Merlin or w3Data. Although we cannot tell you any more, let's just say that you won't need to pay for any of these expensive services anymore!

Do you provide mailing addresses in addition to phone numbers?

We provide property addresses (Situs) as well as the owners mailing address for each property. You can print the mailing addresses directly from the system to your Avery 5160 mailing labels! RETRAN is the only service that provides this easy and simple tool. You do not have to download or export any data! Just print and send your mailing campaign out!

Where do we get our foreclosure data?

Since 1984, all of our foreclosure information is collected directly from the County Recorder. We do not purchase the data and then resell it to you like many other companies. Once this foreclosure data has been collected from each county, it is verified through our proprietary process and added to our database. After this process is finished, it is made available to our subscribers immediately. This truly makes RETRAN the best foreclosure listings you can find!

What about long-term contracts?

The RETRAN service is a month-to-month subscription that you can cancel at any time. We do accept advanced payments for 3 months, 6 months or 1 year subscriptions. Please contact sales for further information: (323) 290-7132

Do you offer any kind of free access?

No, we do not offer a free previews to our service. Our subscribers pay a premium for our service, and by allowing others to access the foreclosure information for free, our current subscribers would have to directly compete with those who requested free access. We are confident that you will be completely satisfied with our service! However, our contracts are month to month and, if you cancel anytime before the next billing cycle, you will not be charged again.

* Abridged Title Chain currently only available for Los Angeles County. More counties coming March 2008.
