Bank Owned (REO):

A property becomes a full-fledged foreclosure — sometimes referred to as a Real Estate Owned (REO) property — when it is repossessed by the foreclosing lender. The lender can take possession either through a deed-in-lieu-of foreclosure agreement with the owner during the pre-foreclosure period or through a winning bid at the public foreclosure auction. Foreclosing lenders are often motivated to sell these properties quickly because they are non-performing assets for their bottom line. Of the three stages of foreclosure, REOs are most likely to also be listed for sale with a real estate agent on the MLS, but not all REOs are listed yet — meaning buyers may have to contact the lender or servicer directly to make an offer.
