"I first subscribed to Consumer Resource Network in January and while there were several listings on the internet right away, it paid off to keep the service for a while so that I could take advantage of viewing new listings as they became available. By the end of March I had found my dream home and closed on it at a really great price. And when I say it paid off, I really mean it. I was successful in taking advantage of Consumer Resource Network offer to send me $1,000 towards my mortgage, and it arrived as promised."
