Genesee County Land Bank Auth

These people are working with the people of Flint, throughout the Pandemic and they are true to their word about not taking your home. If you communicate and keep in touch, they will take care to try to wait until you can get your funds together, as long as you communicate.

Every single one of the ladies I have spoken with this far have been phenomenal! I am uber excited to work with this organization to find a new home!

I just bidded on the first house which I love and got the bid I had to wait almost 3 weeks and my bid was accepted. Wendy responded fast to my emails now I'm waiting to go get the keys. ❤

These people are fantastic .
They give you a great deal on homes with very low payments.
I can not say enough good things about them.
Duane has helped me so much and I am profoundly thankful

Thank you.

Well the two start are for the one lady I first talked to now shewas good but I've been waiting foe months my mom is trying to buy me the house across from you she's live in the house for over 40 years and owns her house and we have been waiting and waiting to hear from them and nothing my wife and son would really like to live there and we are still waiting and still want the house

After several weeks, I was able to get through to the receptionist. She was not able to help me or give me any information, but states that by keeping the Land Bank closed to the public is keeping the people that work there safe. I inquired as to when they will not be in "Covid" mode and she said if it takes to 2027, then it takes wil 2027. Personal opinion is that they are not keeping people safe, but keeping a "lean" employment roster and no one really has to deal with the public unless they make an appointment, but when no one can get an answer via the phone because no one is answering or if you leave a message and can't get someone to respond to that call, they don't have to do any work. Personally, I would like to see more people working there so as a community, we can get more work done instead of leaving the residents, such as myself, living in "ghetto" conditions with homes all around me burnt out, having squatters and such. Some of the homes they have on their demo list do have "fire funds" attached to them, but no one wants to do their due diligence to demo those first. We need residents to help them and give exact addresses so that we can work together as a community to get Flint back on track.

Instead of you blocking me on Facebook- can you provide the CITY OF FLINT wards and zip codes of the 419 houses which were demolished? Or would I need to submit a FOIA for that info?

I just asked the same question on Facebook, but you blocked me!

Stop blocking people because they don’t agree with your business practices! It’s NOT a good look- as it makes it seem as though you’re attempting to hide something! What are you hiding??

Very disappointed in the land bank we went to a house showing and were there for a good 20 minutes doing a walkthrough the gentleman who was in a white truck told us to write our name and phone number down when we signed in. I put together all of the documents needed drop them off a few days later. After 3 weeks of not hearing anything I called to find out exactly what was going on I had to leave a message and Wendy did call me back to let me know that she could not find my sign in sheet and asked if I attended the open house I told her I did and explain to her that the gentleman told me to just put my phone number and my name down and she told me that that wasn't right and that I had needed to put my address down as well I told her that there was a gentleman also there from the Flint City department taking photos of the home and explained to her that we did a 20 minute walk through so we definitely went she said that she would let them know and they were getting the bids together that day. later in the week I tried to call to find out if a decision was made and the woman at the desk told me that it can take up to 3 weeks if I haven't heard anything I should expect an email stating that they had chosen somebody else I told her that I did not hear anything so she forwarded me over to Wendy I left a message with no return phone call again. I had my fiance call a few days later and left a message asking if they had found my sign in sheet or made a decision on the house they still did not return my call it is now been over 4 weeks I have not received a call or an email stating if they had made a decision on the house and nobody will return my phone calls so be aware that they will lose your sign in sheet the gentleman who does show the houses is very rude and Wendy will not return your phone call so you can even know what is going on
