Working with a San Bernardino Realtor

Working with a San Bernardino Realtor is recommended to help you sift through the mounds of paperwork to find the right foreclosed home. The Realtor can help you narrow down the home, price and neighborhood and other criteria saving you time in your bargain hunting. Also, you can drive around the area and let your Realtor know about homes you are interested in that have short sale and bank foreclosure signs so the Realtor can research the home and set up an appointment for you. When it comes time to make an offer, the Realtor can provide you with a comparative market analysis so you know what price to offer the bank.

Auctions

San Bernardino auctions are another place to find foreclosed houses. Auctions allow you to purchase homes at deep discounted prices. They do require cash. Make sure you do your due diligence ahead of time. Inspection dates are announced on line at the auction company website so you can plan accordingly. You will not be able to purchase title insurance for the auction property. The properties are sold as is, and you have to pay off any liens and evict any former tenants or owners. Be careful not to get carried away during the bidding process and overbid. Check home prices in advance with a local Realtor so you know where to stop bidding, and allow for repairs. Most foreclosure auction properties need repairs. Some need major repairs.  They are usually in bad condition and have not been maintained for awhile and their angry former owners have stripped them of appliances, cabinets, countertops, toilets, sinks and lighting fixtures.
