It's only taken 45 days, but we were finally able to track down the elusive iPod Touch winner from our January give-away. Thanks to Clancy for the pictures...we wanted everyone to know that Legacy Lending really does give FREE items away!!

This economy is SMOKING...so LUNCH IS ON US!! 

Here's a fact...You're probably not going to hear that jargon in the news any time soon. But you have to know it's not all in a Doom and Gloom right now. As a Payment Reduction Specialist, I see and hear bad news every day. People are losing jobs, homes are being repossessed and people filing for bankruptcy. Even an upbeat guy like me can catch the bad mood bug.

But just yesterday, 2 separate individuals came in and had upbeat stories. Hearing those separate stories back to back kicked me in gear and I ended out the day strong accomplishing more then I had in previous days.

Being around happy people is like fuel to a fire. I'm ready to kick Negativity to the curb!!  I'm going to Kung-foo-Panda negativity stuff. Although I try to surround myself with positive people it doesn't always happen. So I'm going to make sure it happens this week and next week and in months to come.

Legacy Lending Group is offering a FREE LUNCH to a good upbeat story posted on our blog. What more can you ask for?!?!  They say you can't get a FREE MEAL? We'll prove them wrong. Our company is going to take a random happy story posted on our blog and take them out to lunch next Wednesday.  If you're out of town...we'll take care of you too!  We just want the goods on our site.

In order to promote more people posting, if you Email this Information to your friends and they get randomly drawn, we will take them out and you out as well. They just have to tell us you referred them, it's that simple !! So it's really a WIN/WIN, and that's what we're all about. ANYONE CAN WIN!! The more you email this out the more chances you have for a free lunch. (But truthfully, I know it's us you really want to have lunch with whether it's free or not, don't lie now..... *smile*)

I believe we need to hear what's going on good in society right now, not just the downer info. So Kick it in gear and tell me something that is happy or good in your life !!!!

So post a story right now and then forward this site to all your friends and have them post a story on our blog as well.

The only catch is the winner has to be signed up on our weekly Emails because the person that wins has to be signed up before I send out my next Tuesday,s Weekly Email.  So if you're not signed up then go to the home page and do so now!

Free lunch???  HECK YES!  I love this site...we're always giving away free stuff.  NO STRINGS ATTACHED - Just ask Clancy...winner of January's iPod Give A Way!

Well, it's officially in the books!  The very first (of more to come) free Legacy Lending Group marketing give-away has been completed!  Today at 3:00pm MST we drew the winner of the 8GB iPod touch!  The winner will be announced tomorow morning around 9:00am in our weekly Rates Report.  If you're not a subscriber then make sure to take two seconds and register on our home page.

Thank you to everyone that registered and particpated!  We had a ball meeting/talking with all of the new people and friends we met.  This is something that we'll do again very soon...if not every month, we'll be doing it every other month.  So, make sure you bookmark our page and check back often.  

In our weekly Rates Report we give you useful information that will help you make educated financial decisions, keep you plugged into the most current rate trends, and announce new promotions or or give-aways.  We welcome comments on the site!  Keep dialed into Legacy Lending Group!

Our drawing for the completely FREE, absolutely NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED 8GB iPod Touch will be held on Monday, January 12 at an undisclosed location at 1759 S. Millennium Way, Suite 100, Meridian, Idaho under armed guard's surveillance!

We've had quite a few questions about the contest.  Here are some with the answers:

1. What strings are attached to win the iPod?  Honestly, there are no strings attached.  We're wanting to meet some new people, get our name out, and see how well the Social Marketing really works.  It has been a BLAST to see how the Facebook wildfire spreads.  This will not be the last time we try something like this.

2.  Do we have to write a loan with LLG in order to win?  NO!  Although you'd be much cooler if you did!  The iPod is going to have a stink bomb secretely included into the casing.  The stink bomb will know if you do a loan with LLG and will not detonate.  So, strictly in the interest of safety, you'd probably better take advantage of the historical low interest rates and let LLG.  Nobody likes a Stinky Pete.

3.  When will the drawing be held?  The drawing will be held at lunch time on January 12th (Monday).

4.  When and how will the winner be notified?  I'll call my wife and tell her to come to the office to pick up her winnings!    Actually, we're going to announce the winner in our FREE weekly email Rates Report.  If you're not currently signed up for the rates report go to out home page and sign up immediately!  You don't want to miss out!  Once the winner is announced via our Rates Report they'll have 24 hours to contact us.  If the winner doesn't contact us we'll put the iPod back into the pool and draw a new winner.  I know, doesn't seem fair, but we have to put at least one shameless plug in here!!

5.  Rates?  Yeah, they're still awesome.  If you haven't contacted your Legacy Lending Group loan advisor you really need to do it now.  Here are a couple of the loans we've locked just yesterday and today:

         $301,000 loan amount on a 15 year mortgage - 4.5%

         $298,000 loan amount in Nampa on 30 year mortgage - 4.875%

         $149,000 loan amount in Boise on a 30 year FHA mortgage - 4.75%

You can't afford to miss this boat!!

Good luck on the drawing!
