When Art Fried originally contacted us, we were at our wits’ end and about to make a horrible decision—one that we felt we were forced to make. It was June, and we had already moved out of our house in Phoenix, and were relocating our family to Texas. We thought the bank foreclosing already owned the house. We were heavy in debt since my computer business failed. Everyone I owed money to attached liens to our home, so even if someone wanted to buy it, there was no way they could. Or, so we thought at the time. Art stepped in and told us what really was going on. He alleviated our fears regarding the liens, and said he could probably fix that, if we let him. “Well, we’d be stupid if we didn’t,” I thought. So, we gave him the permission to act on our behalf to take care of the liens. We were floored at the results and what he was able to accomplish! He negotiated down our major lien to a fraction of the original amount. The agreement reduced a $40,000+ liability to under $10,000! Remarkably, he also was able to close out our second trust deed for a lot less than the amount owed. We were astonished—it truly was a miracle! We had no idea that something like this could be done. Next, Art bought the house and his work crew came in with new carpet, paint, landscaping and appliances. They even addressed such details as the out-of-date kitchen cupboards, which they refinished. And finally, they ripped out the old dining room linoleum and replaced it with carpet. As a finishing touch, Art sold the house to a new family. From the profits he made on the deal, we were able to get a nice check that we weren’t expecting. Art said that this was the equity split we talked about earlier. This equity was something that I thought I’d never see and was lost forever. Well, we didn’t lose it, and we were so excited because we desperately needed that money. Please, if you are in a distressed situation with your home, call Art! He truly is a miracle worker, and generous to a fault. You’ll be happy you got in touch with him. Bruce & Colleen W.
