Sorry to those above, but it is the law in every state that, when asked, a real estate agent must reveal the identity of their client. This is true of active and expired listings.

The listing real estate agent need not tell you which bank owns the REO property, but it's public record, and easy for you to ascertain on your own. Simply check by whom title is held at the local land office in the area.
If you're thinking of contacting the lender directly, don't bother. Those folks have little to no interest in dealing with the general public. You will be referred back to a listing real estate firm.

Yes. It is public knowledge. You don't even have to ask the agent. Just go to the GIS (Geographic Information Systems) site for your county and look it up. You can find it by simply searching Yahoo for the county name and GIS (sample county GIS) and you should find a link to it.
