Where can I find out about properties that have been foreclosed on in my area without paying for the service?

Question

Where do lenders list the properties they're re-selling? Is there a notice in the papers when a foreclosure is happening? Are there legitimate auctions out there done by banks and not those scam companies that are only selling lists? Thanks.

Answer 1

I believe two places to start would be your County Clerk's office or Tax Collector's office for Lien sales. You could also contact Banks to find out what properties they have foreclosure sales going forward on.

Answer 2

Some widely used resources for checking companies are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center (www.fraud.org).

These days, you can easily find out more about a company using the Internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can get details about its ownership, how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers.

You can find more detailed information about a company and check whether its a scam or not, at
