I would recommend Mr. Denigan’s services for “lease option” properties. In 2011, I could not sell my house after it was on the market for 5 months. I could no longer afford the payment as a single parent. Therefore, I was looking for an alternative way to keep my good credit ratings, but sell my home. Mr. Denigan offered a program to me. He would locate a potential buyer that would move into my house. The buyer would pay my monthly mortgage; with intend to buy the house, (lease to buy). Mr. Denigan took care of the communications between the renters and paying the mortgage. After 2.5 years, the house was sold to the family that rented the property. Mr. Denigan was able to locate the right people to move there and eventually purchase my house at full market price. I was pleased to have the house sold and out of my name. Thanks Mike for your services!

I am writing to you today to offer my support and recommendation to any prospective investor that seeks to talk personally to me in regards to the home that we purchased from you, and the additional service that you provided to us over the past several years. To start, we purchased our investment property located in Burlington, KY. On February 26th, 2007. Happy anniversary. The 4 bedroom 3 full bath, two story, 1602 sq. ft. home was the only property we purchased from you. You are the only property management that we have had for this investment. I do not recall any vacancy or major maintenance issues with this investment. You have had tenants interviewed, screened, and waiting for this home. Rents have always exceeded the target rent, and you have never had an issue with late rent payments. You have addressed all of the necessary maintenance and upkeep for this home, because you built it. Your attention to service, and address our needs for this investment have given me the most relief of any of the 8 investment properties that we have had. Your service, care, and concern for the investor is reassuring, and I wish I had all of my properties with you. If you have any investor request information and they want to talk to me about your real estate services, please feel free to send them this letter with my contact information, and I would be more than happy to take the time to answer any questions they may have about my experiences with your company. Again, Thank You Mike, and your family. And thanks to your real estate staff and organization. It has been a real pleasure dealing with an honest Christian Man that makes his word his bond.

My wife and I use Landlord Liberator™ to manage our rental property. The Denigan’s system works great: we captured market rate for rent, extended lease terms to reduce turnover, found qualified tenants quickly and reduced our paperwork to almost nothing. The relationship really paid off for us when we were on vacation and an issue arose. We were alerted immediately and presented with solution options. We picked the one we thought best, and Landlord Liberator™ had a well-qualified and fair-priced contractor on the job within days.
