Providence Rhode Island Foreclosed and Bank Owned Real Estate
In Rhode Island, lenders may foreclose on deeds of trusts or mortgages in default: 1) by using the judicial foreclosure process; 2) by filing a lawsuit seeking eviction; 3) by taking possession of the house; 4) by the borrower voluntarily giving up possession; or 5) by using the non-judicial foreclosure process.
In most cases, when a homeowner defaults on his/her mortgage in Rhode Island, the lender will start the process of obtaining the right to sell that property at auction in order to satisfy the debt (balance owed on the mortgage).
Purchasing a home at a foreclosure auction has many risks to a potential buyer (especially a first-time home buyer). There is commonly no opportunity to view the interior of the property, conduct proper inspections and in some cases, there are individuals still occupying the premises. Because of these risks, homes in Providence, RI are not always sold at auction and the bank will instead take possession of the property. The property is then referred to as bank-owned, REO (real estate owned) or foreclosed property.
There are cases where a homeowner will attempt to sell their home before the bank starts the foreclosure process. The home owner is either already behind on their mortgage payments or will not be able to sell for a price that would cover the balance owed on their mortgage. This is referred to as a short-sale and requires the lender's approval. Obtaining approval can be a long and difficult process. Additionally, there is no assurance that the lender will accept an offer at or above the listed price.
Bank-owned (REO)and short sale listings Providence, Rhode Island are in all price ranges and often marketed with a real estate agent and placed in the Rhode Island Multiple Listing Service (to ensure full market exposure). As a service to you we will provide:

Buying a home may be the most important investment an individual or family makes in their lifetime. It is important to understand the process and to be informed of the industry professionals who can assist you.
The two primary advisers will be Realtors and mortgage lenders. You must understand how much you can afford and what your budget will allow. If you are a first-time home buyer, you may qualify for a tax credit ($8000 in 2009) and could be eligible for special financing programs.
Mortgage Financing
Most home buyers borrow the money to purchase property by obtaining a mortgage through a lender. The lender may be a bank, mortgage banker, credit union or a private investor. The most common types of loans are conventional and government insured (FHA and VA). It is advisable to obtain a "credit approval" from a lender prior to actively looking at property so that you understand the price range you can afford.
The Real Estate Agent's Role in the Process
As a consumer in the Rhode Island home buying process, you have options for representation. As a Rhode Island home buyer, you may hire a buyer's agent or work through a facilitator. A buyer agent is a licensee who acts on behalf of a buyer or tenant in the purchase, exchange, rental, or lease of real estate. A facilitator is an individual licensee who assists one or more parties during all or a portion of a real estate transaction without being an agent or advocate for the interests of any party to such transaction.

A home inspection gives the buyer more detailed information about the overall condition of the home prior to purchase. In a home inspection, a qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potential new home to advise you on the condition and necessary repairs.
Legal - Obtaining Title and Possession
As a buyer obtaining a mortgage, the lender will utilize a title attorney for the closing process. They will research the title, prepare the settlement statement, schedule the closing, record the documents and distribute the funds. Once the paperwork is signed and the seller receives his funds, they will give you the keys to your new home.
