Foreclosure Central

You will find a number of excellent resources on this page. Few Agents in South Florida are as well versed in Distressed Property on the East Side of Broward County. Updating my Free Foreclosure Lists (below) I go through these every week, pick out a few which look especially good. Featured Listings with the picture ads are hand-picked. And they SELL. You see them on this page they represent good value. Check back often.
     Foreclosure Inventory has been declining steadily. Some think it's because banks now have to go through the Foreclosure process legally, which might motivate them to be more amenable to selling Distressed Properties as Short Sales. Others say there is a new wave of Foreclosures looming on the horizon. At the moment, though, good Foreclosure deals on nice properties are getting harder and harder to find as our market improves.

APPROVED SHORTS

Short Sales are generally excruciating. If there's one thing we've learned it's the Banks aren't much smarter at digging themselves out of this mess they created than they were digging themselves into it. However as this "Wild West" of a Real Estate Market continues to mutate we have seen the emergence of a new class of properties  – the "Approved" Short Sale. Somebody made an offer on these places, but walked while the Bank dithered. Now the Lender has approved a price these deals could go quick. Approved Shorts bear watching. People making offers on these properties are usually low-balling. Lenders might've countered, but there's a good chance these represent some pretty good deals.

FORECLOSURE SURVIVAL GUIDE


How To Buy Foreclosures

12 Things You've Got To Know

A lot of attention, in many cases too much attention, in today's market is focused upon Foreclosures, also known as REOs (Real Estate Owned). Many people believe in the old adage: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." There are, however, several other old sayings you would be wise to live by. "When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is." The other is: "Buyer beware."

True, you can find some good deals in REOs, and they might make more sense for certain investors, however we would not limit yourself to shopping Foreclosures. Buyers should not overlook regular old-fashioned sales. If a homeowner needs to sell his house they cannot List it appreciably higher than the Foreclosure or Short Sale next door, on his block, in his neighborhood.

To compete successfully in the Foreclosure market you must understand the way things work, follow methods which are at this point established. Here's a few things you should know, be prepared for:

1.) Remember Foreclosures by definition represent a home someone has walked away from. This is not an overnight process. It took months, probably over a year to get these people out. They...  (continued)

FORECLOSURE WEBSITES

Below are Links to web pages where Banks and Lenders List their REO Properties. You may see Real Estate Agents Listed for Contact Information. These are not "Listing Agents" in the traditional sense. They receive a small Commission from the Bank for filling out paperwork, putting a Lock Box on the property. They do not show the property. In some cases they don't even negotiate Offers, which are submitted over the Internet. As a result, these Agents often care little about individual deals, seldom return messages, are non-responsive to a Buyer's questions and concerns. If you are interested in Foreclosures you might be well-advised to find a Real Estate Agent who will represent your interests in these transactions. Me, for instance.
