Tricia,

If you wish you can go to my website http://www.alaronowhomes.com and click on "Search for Foreclosed Properties". If the property is currently in the foreclosure process, you should be able to find out when the auction will be. The information is through Realty Trac. If you have any further questions, please let me know. Sometimes the properties are listed for sale prior to going to auction and foreclosure. If so, I can help you with it or any other properties.

Thank you,

Tirica - if there is no sign on the property then my first step would be the county court house or check with the sheriff's office.
