Testimonials

"I would like to take this opportunity to give my personal recommendation for Rod and Susie Gaston.  I worked with them for over 8 years during the time they sold primarily HUD REO properties in Arizona.  In my over 20 years of lending, I've never worked with a team of more efficient and hard working Realtors, strong ethics and extremely high level of customer service. During the busier months, it was not uncommon for them to close an average of 25 to 30 transactions per month and I can remember our record breaking month of 40 closings!  They treated every client with great respect no matter their background.  To this day, I attribute my success in this business to the strong foundation I received during the time we worked together.  I feel honored to have worked with them and know that they would be highly successful in any endeavor they choose to undertake."

I work with 15 REO companies....BLB Resources, Inc. outperforms every other company.

Because of BLB Resources, Inc., my staff has increased from 2 to 8 and my buyer/brokers have grown to 9.  I was able to purchase the brokerage I work for and grow in substantial leaps.  I closed the most transactions in the country for RE/MAX in 2007 and 2008 and was also a winner of the Diamond Award."

"Our company has recently been awarded a contract with the Department of Housing and urban Development to provide closing services for properties sold by HUD throughout the State of Michigan. In connection with these closings, we are required to assure that any necessary point of sale inspections requested by the multitude of municipalities have been completed prior to closing sales. We have had the pleasure of working BLB Resources, Inc., since the inception of our contract. BLB provides all the necessary inspections to us as they receive them and keep us up-to-date on the status of necessity of the various inspections. BLB has an excellent system for managing all the details regarding these inspections. We have found that Rod Gaston and all of his staff are very knowledgeable, detail oriented and friendly to work with. BLB is very much a "go to" company when information is needed. "
