Cleaning Out Foreclosed Homes
Question: Does it seem like Foreclosed Homes are not in the forefront promoted by the Real Estate Industry?
The county I live in has over 6,000 foreclosed homes, yet they seem to try to fetch within 10% of homes for sales by owners (non-distress) and new home communities. Most foreclosed homes I've seen were torn up, ignored, out of date, and simply set aside and not promoted by agents who showed us properties.
Is this a trend?
Attitude being conveyed to members of the RE Industry? Banks not pressured for cleaning their books (or disinterested in having the homes in good repair & not truly discounting the Buyer because of the inconvenience?)
What is your spin on this?
Foreclosed homes use to be *desired* by Investors & general Home Buyers alike...

Answer: Foreclosures get a really bad reputation due to the fact that they are foreclosures. Not all of them are torn up and a lot of them are, in fact, listed with an agent. I'm an agent in TN and I have been working with a buyer looking at foreclosures. We found a great one, which was listed with another agent and was on the MLS (BTW, we found it on RealtyTrac) and we closed on it last Friday. I don't try to push one property over another because it's not about me. I'm not going to be living there, my client is, and it's my job to advise and negotiate, not to see how much I can pad my pockets. However, there are a lot of foreclosures out there where the previous owners did a number on the home before vacating it, or the home was vandalized by people who saw the house was vacant. But there really are a lot of nice foreclosures out there and if you have a good RE agent negotiating on your behalf, you could come out way ahead of the bank. I actually got the bank to pay my buyers closing costs on top of getting a repair allowance and new appliances. Talk to a reputable RE agent. A good agent ALWAYS puts their clients best interests above their own everyday of the week.
