David -
I know that you're not asking for feedback, but I had to leave some regardless. Please note that this is not meant to be an attack, but I see this from many investors and it is deeply troubling to me.

When someone sees a claim like:

We buy houses is North America's largest home selling solutions service. Our professional, experienced home buyers have processed more than $100 billion in property since 2002 and in 2011 we're off to a great start helping home sellers just like yourself.

(which I found on the homepage of your website)...and note that your website is not that of a company that they have ever heard of, they may think you are trying to scam them.

I recommend you look closely at the claims that you make on your site and ensure they are truthful.

If the above claim is correct, I believe we'd all know who you and your business are, and would be reading about you in magazines like Forbes.

Further, your profile here on BP says:

my only investing experience is books I have read. My brother also advises me on real estate whenever i need his counsel he is a commercial real estate agent.

Perhaps you could clarify the first statement for us?

If you haven't done over $100 billion in property deals (which I suspect to be the case), there's no reason to make such claims. It can't help and can only hurt your credibility.

I hope that helps.

I'd start with getting rid of the text in question. Then I'd go and check out the signatures of your peers here on BP. You'll find links to their websites and can get a lot of ideas that way.

At no point did I tell you to copy someone's website. I told you to check out other investor websites so you can get ideas.

Good luck going forward. I think others would be better off providing you feedback from here on.

p.s. josh taking ideas from someones websites would still technically be copyright infringement. in other words you can't just reword someone elses text. Trust me I have experience with copyright issues I hope there was no offense taken, I know you where just trying to help, Thanks!

I'd love to read in copyright law, where getting ideas and inspiration from looking at other websites, is written. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's no law against it. Originally posted by David Rey

I never told you to reword the text of others.

BTW - It appears that the quote that I mentioned in my first response came directly from another website:

Check the first listing on this Google Search

It seems that would be a Copyright issue to me, no?
