RELEASE – March 13, 2006
Celebration, Florida
On Saturday, March 11, 2006, USALANDSALE.COM, LLC wrapped up its
most recent National Land Sale Auction at the Marriott Greenpoint
Hotel in Houston, Texas. A cautious, savvy crowd watched, bid, and
bought building lots and land from Florida, Arizona, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas.
The bidders in attendance competed with over 130 registered on
line bidders who bid from home or work during the simulcast auction
via the internet on eBay “Live Auction.” The internet
allowed bidders to participate in the auction, and bid they did.
USALANDSALE.COM received bids from as far away as Japan, Hong Kong,
Canada and South America. One bidder, Chris Calderbank from Mount
Laurel, NJ successfully bid on a small Texas Ranch and two building
lots in Central Florida. “I had the opportunity to participate
in the USALANDSALE auction in Tampa in person, but could not make
it this past weekend to Houston. So, I registered on eBay last
week, did my research and bid from home. Luckily I got some pretty
good deals”, said Calderbank.
Lauren Saadi of Medford, NJ, also bid on line and although she
did not win any parcels, she said that she intended to participate
either over the internet or in person at the next USALANDSALE auction
in Florida or Georgia. “They had some really good properties
for sale, especially the land in the Southeastern United States.
I should have bid higher, but got cold feet. Now I realize I have
to be a little more aggressive at the next auction” says
Saadi.
James Paul of Weston, Pa flew to Houston to visit friends, and registered ½ hour
before the start of the auction, and walked home with the first purchase of
the day, a ¼ acre lot on the Gulf of Mexico in Texas. Says Paul, “I
came to Houston to see some friends, and made quite a few new ones with the
staff of USALANDSALE.COM. I had no intention of buying land, but the deals
were just too good to pass. The knowledgeable staff explained to me everything
I needed to know about bidding and buying. The paperwork was easy to sign.
From the time I bid, I paid for and closed my parcel in twenty minutes. What
a great souvenir I get to bring back home from my weekend in Houston!”
USALANDSALE.COM is a Celebration, Florida based National Real Estate
Bank that acquires building lots and land from across the United
States at wholesale prices. The privately held company with their
large buying power owns over 1000 real estate parcels at any given
time and sells their assets monthly at various locations across the
USA at absolute auction. Last year USALANDSALE.COM sold over 1800
parcels of land. They expect to sell 4000 properties in 2006. The
next auction will be on “April 23, 2006” at the Orlando
World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida. In May USALANDSALE.COM
will host an auction in Atlanta Georgia.
Depending on location, the company tries to sell approximately 40%
of the auction properties in areas within 150 miles from the auction
location. Says Company President Mark Goitein, “We try to have
most of the properties at auction located regionally to the auction
site. For our Houston auction, most of our properties were from Texas,
Arizona, and the Midwest and southeast. Our Miami auction had 80%
of our assets from Florida, and the southern states. We try to sell
what the local buyers want, land close to home. But, as many of our
buyers follow us across the USA, we always have assets from distant
locations to satisfy the palate of all bidders in attendance.” Company
executive Taylor Hall, Director of Land Acquisitions states that
the company always looks to acquire land in the fastest growing areas
of the country. Says Hall, “New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Florida,
and most southern states are where we see most of the interest from
our customers. We try to buy 80% of our inventory from these states.
We buy land in all 50 states, and listen to our customers and try
to find land where they want it. We have a buyer who only buys land
in North Dakota. She has bought 20 parcels of land from us over the
past two years.”
David Waronker, Vice President and Founder of USALANDSALE.COM states “People
who never thought they could ever afford to buy real estate are our
most favorite customers. It is so rewarding to see people who never
bought real estate come to our auctions, bid on land, if needed take
our guaranteed on the spot financing, and instantly become land owners.
The excitement on the buyer’s faces is beyond description.
We start them off on their path to financial success. We make believers
out of everyone who buys at our auctions.” Jackie Wilson attended
her first USALANDSALE.COM auction two years ago. The Arizona resident
bought a building lot in Florida for $500. In three months she resold
that same lot for $14,500. She used most of her profits to put a
down payment on a home in Davenport, Polk County, Florida. She reinvested
the balance of her profits in seven more properties. Last month she
bought a luxury condo in Scottsdale, Arizona, and attends every one
of USALANDSALE’S auction events. “Before I bought my
first property I had large credit card bills, a home in New Jersey
worth less than the mortgage balance, and I worked days cleaning
houses and nights for UPS. Today I work when I want to work, and
invest my money in buying and selling land. There is no gimmick.
Anyone can buy from USALANDSALE.COM. I know what people think, “this
never would happen to me”, but it does and it is so easy it
is scary”, says Wilson. She and her husband, Murph, plan to
quit their jobs and become full time real estate investors and speculators.

estate opportunities and can obtain information on all future USALANDSALE.COM
