When you are searching for homes in Maryland, you will want to use Homes Prospector at www.roykelley.com This is a service of MRIS, the regional multiple listing service, and you will find the most accurate up to date information on properties that are available for purchase. Foreclosures will be included in the results of your searches.

Most of the homes that are sold at trustee sale auctions at the court house entrance are purchased by the secured mortgage lenders. The lenders then offer the homes for sale when they become part of the REO inventory. All of the lender owned homes are listed with area agents and are available on MRIS.

Why are buyers focusing on the REO inventory? The simple reason is that is where the purchase bargains are being found. Lenders are highly motivated sellers and they reduce the prices until the properties are under contract.

What about the bargains in the inventory of short sale listings? These transactions take longer since they require third party approval. The secured lenders must agree to the contract terms since the proceeds will not fully cover the mortgage balances. More frustrations are to be expected since many of the lenders fail to approve the sales. These properties are sometimes described as pre-foreclosures.

121 active short sale listings are available in Washington County.

WASHINGTON COUNTY MD TRUSTEE SALES - THE FISHER LAW GROUP

The Fisher Law Group is advertising trustee sales in the county. Visit their website for details and the full auction schedule: http://www.first-legal.com/salelist/sales.html

Trustee sales are open to the public and all qualified bidders. These are auctions that are ordered by the secured lenders when borrowers default on their mortgage obligations. Buyers should carefully read the newspaper advertisements that appear for three weeks before the sale date. The indicated deposits must be in the form of cash or certified funds. Most of the bidders obtain cashier's checks that are payable to themselves. Always check for cancellations before attending trustee sales. Seek professional advice if you do not have full knowledge of the risks. Since these transactions are not conditioned on the availability of mortgage financing, buyers should always have written pre-approval for financing with disclosure to the lender that the property is being purchased in 'as-is" condition. Generally, trustee sale properties are not offered for inspection.

The secured lenders are buying in most of the properties that are sold at the court house auctions. The lenders then offer the homes for sale to the public when they become part of the REO inventory.
