Foreclosures

Many home buyers are interested in & excited to explore available foreclosed properties in their desired area. Often times foreclosed properties can be purchased at a great price. There are MANY different types of foreclosure properties including, but not limited to, HUD homes, Fannie Mea homes, & Freddie Mac homes. The process of buying a foreclosed home is very complex & varies widely from one type of foreclosure to another. As a home buyer, it is essential that you have a Realtor who is experienced in listing & selling foreclosed ( also known as REO) properties. Each type has a very unique bidding process and without an experienced real estate agent you could miss out on an excellent opportunity. When shopping for foreclosed properties it is also vital that you have access to up to the minute market updates on new listings as many of these properties sell very quickly, and often end up in a multiple offer situation.
