Website Spotlight : LenderOffender.com

With the flood of home foreclosures -- especially here in California -- many bank-owned homes are going not only unsold but also apparently unmaintained. Dried up grasses, nasty weeds, unsighty trash, and even holiday lights on foreclosed properties are tarnishing beautiful neighborhoods and home-owner mantra and perhaps property values.

To the rescue: LenderOffender.com. This website allows other home owners to report neglected, orphaned bank-owned properties in your area with the goal of not only calling attention to orphaned homes but also to get banks to wake up and do something about them. It's quite a user-friendly website, with easy-to-find items and intuitive icons. The website even ranks the worst offenders (including Fannie Mae).

It's good to see useful websites like the above being put to good use to induce a public "call to action" on things they may not know about in their own cities and neighborhoods. If you have an idea for improving your community and want to use the web to get out the word, my San Jose website design firm can help put your idea into action. Don't neglect your own innovative idea today!
