I’ve been fighting for consumers for 10 years. I started out behind the scenes, and have worked my way in front of the camera. My stories have exposed fraud, shut down businesses, sent people to jail, led to class action lawsuits, and legal action from Attorneys General.
My efforts have saved South Bend and Kansas City, MO hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I’ve won an Emmy, and three regional Edward R. Murrow awards for my investigations. I’ve also received several Emmy nominations and won several state broadcasting awards.
I like to fight for what’s right in the community and support organizations. I’ve been a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters for over six years. I also work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Let me know how I can help you be a smarter consumer, and send me your consumer tips.

Jenn:
We read your blog and I wanted to offer to have the President of BuildFax speak with you about your experience and their free report offering.
When there is a lack of permit data on a BuildFax Report, is should be noted that this, too, is indeed valuable information. BuildFax obtains all of their data from the local building department’s electronic records. Therefore you’ll see what is actually on record for your property. It also reveals to the homeowner what permits were put on record and that maybe some of the work wasn’t properly recorded. Just like a credit report — if you’re mortgage wasn’t on there, wouldn’t you want to know why? We believe BuildFax is a starting point, a conversation opener, between the homeowner and homebuyer. We’d love to speak with you further and perhaps cover a few of the points you mentioned.
We’d love to speak with you as we have with many reporters who are look at the reports and realizing some big things about their property based on the data provided and the data that’s not provided. Holly is an expert in this business and would be someone I know you’d really enjoy speak with.
