Lis-Pendins, Pre-Foreclosure and True REO bank owned Foreclosure lists are all wonderful tools if you are in the gathering information stage. These lists will give you a general sense of the market and asking prices in a particular neighborhood or zip code. As a serious buyer, however, you cannot depend on any foreclosure list for accurate and up-to-date information.

The most desirable properties will receive multiple offers within days or even hours of hitting the market. By the time you preview that incredible bargain online there is a very good chance that your dream home has already been sold. If you’re relying on a foreclosure list for your REO properties, basically you’re getting the leftovers. If you’re counting on a listing agent to contact you first, good luck! Some banks see that as a conflict of interest and the rest of the time they are just too busy. Listing agents are buried in work and their listings sell quickly either way. If you’re a buyer, you need a buyer’s agent who specializes in foreclosures.

My clients get up-to-the-minute accuracy on REO listings, REO properties back on the market and price reductions of homes we may have already considered. When I am working for a pre-qualified client who is ready to buy, I am physically in the house for a preview on the day a new listing comes on the market. As photos are unreliable and often not provided, previewing the home the day it comes on the market is the only way to achieve the results my clients desire. Providing this type of service requires daily searches, labor intensive previews of hundreds of properties, focusing on one market and having the knowledge and the contacts to get the job done.

My services are free to you, the buyer.  My commission is paid by the bank..
