My Life In Brooklyn

I was in Queens last week, on Jamaica Avenue, and saw a bright yellow and red   billboard for “We Buy Ugly Houses.Com” — the link forwards to homevestors.com, with links for buying and selling.  The page orginally served up a “why sell” link — and it states:

“HomeVestors franchisees buy houses at a discount. But when they buy your house, they will: Pay cash; Pay most normal closing costs; Buy “as is”; Typically close fast.”

They seem to have a few things for sale on Staten Island, Westchester and surrounding areas. 

Seems poised to cash in on the mortgage crisis.  It may have been present in this area for a long time, but I had not seen any major advertising from this company before.

And they are using a caveman, à la Geico.
