Owned Properties

Bank owned properties are also known as (REO) Properties (Real Estate Owned)


About (REO's)

Bank owned properties (REO's) are properties that were not sold durning a foreclosure sale. Buying bank owned property can take A LOT longer than a normal sale. These properties  sell at a discounted price, much lower than current home prices, as buyers are wary of the costs of potential repairs that might be needed. Y

Types of properties

Pre- Foreclosure

Pre- Foreclosure

Pre- Foreclosure

When a homeowner has missed a few  mortgage payments, Lenders  may have a certain grace period, for example, for missed payments before the property is transferred into foreclosure. The missed payment schedule can vary among lenders. Pre-foreclosure doesn’t necessarily mean that the homeowner is underwater, and it doesn’t guarantee that the home will be foreclosed on.  Homeowners facing pre-foreclosure contact their bank, they have a chance of saving their home.

Foreclosure

Pre- Foreclosure

Pre- Foreclosure

If a the homeowner cannot make any payments or sell their house to pay off their mortgage, the property will be taken back by the bank, then get auctioned off in a foreclosure sale.  Most of these homes will be sold "AS IS" “if you buy, you assume all liens, IRS liens, and other mortgages possibly tied to the property,”

Short Sale

Pre- Foreclosure

Short Sale

A short sale is when a mortgage borrower owes more than the market value of the property. The borrower is asking the bank to accept a short payoff of the loan.

Short sales are not short and can take up to 6 - 12 months. Even more frustratingly, a seller can accept an offer on a short sale, but that doesn’t guarantee that the deal is going to close.
