Foreclosure listings

Are sites like foreclosurefox.com worth the free trial? I figured if i sign in use it for a week i could get all the info i need and then back out.Can anyone tell me if this would work or do they just give free trials because you need to do loads of research?
TIA
Dan

It works. 7 days with a lots of info and then you cancel, you're good.
Or, even better because free forever, ask a local Realtor...

I would say to forget about any websites and contact a Realtor. The website are only interested in getting money from you and use outdated information. If it is a good deal, do you think it will be on the market long enough for this website to get it posted? No, the good deals go under contract quickly.

Without an agent working for you as a buyers agent, you are wasting your time. A serious buyer will work with a real estate professional, a time and money waster will look online, buy the real estate course they saw on some late night infomercial and never get a great deal.

Get in touch with a Realtor today if you are serious about buying. A seasones investor might be able to do it on their own, but considering all the money involved and the many different things that can go wrong, you need professional help.

Of course we do. We get a commission from the bank when we close with our buyers...

I just checked watchforeclosure.com, and for my county, it's about 2-3 months late. All foreclosure on the homepage have been sold since 2-3 months already. All of them...

You want to get the best deals with foreclosure the you MUST work with a REALTOR. This morning a foreclosure hit the MLS. It is now 340pm my time, another agent in my office just left to get offer signed, it will be the 3rd offer submitted so far, already over asking price.

If you were wanting a great deal like this one, you would find out about it after someone else has already bought it, rehabbed and either relisted to retail it or rented it or they are living in it. Yes, REALTORS make money from listing/selling REOs or by being paid by the bank to bring the buyer to the closing table. You pay nothing. Get a great deal by choosing to have an agent work for you as a Buyer's Agent or keep missing the great deals.

Sounds harsh but that is the way it works. You pay the agent nothing, they work for you but are paid by out of the commission the bank has agreed to pay the listing company. Finding an agent that is motivated to sniff out the great deals for the small commissions that REOs sometimes pay may be hard. But I look at it this way: I get you a good deal today, you will keep coming back for more good deals. Repeat business rules.
