We asked subscribers what they liked best about BankProspector, here’s some of what they said:

“Simple to navigate.”

“Lets me know in an instant if the bank has any troubled assets.”

“Can get a fairly quick sense of the scale of real estate issues with specific banks.”

“Ability to find contacts in banks”

“Finding banks that fit our requirements”

“(see which) Banks likely to sell or not sell. What is most on their books, and if there selling right now.”

“Contacts via linkedIn and Jigsaw and what is exactly available from the banks so that you can narrow the searches.”

“The best tool I’ve seen for targeting regional and smaller banks with bad paper-I just purchased Lane 2 weeks ago and i bought yours any way”

If I can use it anybody can use it. Tech is not my strong suit. I called [obscured] Bank and they told me they'd have something in 3-4 weeks. I also called [obscured] Cooperative based on what I found in BankProspector and I made a great connection. I've been using it for 3 days.

avatarDistressed Pro has been an intuitive and invaluable analysis tool that allows us to quickly access and produce detailed reports on all of the FDIC bank related data and contacts at those institutions. The technology of DistressedPro allows our acquisition team to group by specific property types in a specific region of the country and drill down to a very detailed level of information to identify potential acquisition opportunities in our sweet spot, New England. We have been using DistressedPro for over a year now and find that the time savings more than pays for the already low subscription fees.
