Stockton, California: Epicenter for Foreclosure Start-Ups
There’s a been a media feeding-frenzy over foreclosure bus tours of late. Started by Stockton real estate agent, Cesar Dias, foreclosure bus tours have spread across the country….including the Dallas-Fort Worth area which, to my knowledge, doesn’t have a high foreclosure rate but whatever brings in clients, right?
Now, the Sac Bee is reporting on Stockton’s next foreclosure start-up, the Greener Grass Co:
Owner Nick Terlouw, who formerly had a window-cleaning business, sprays dead brown lawns with a “deep green water-based dye that makes that turf look good enough for a golf course or a professional football stadium.”
Clients include real estate agents selling foreclosures. The cost is $175 to $225 to do a yard.

Here is another for your list… ForeclosureRadar.com. After having bought 150+ foreclosures in Stockton and the Central Valley I started ForeclosureRadar in 2006 as the coming wave of foreclosures became evident to me. Having been at the epicenter it helped give me a significant head start on building tools for Realtors to deal with this crisis.
