Is it worth paying an online company to get a list of foreclosure properties?

When looking for a great deal, is it worth paying a company for the list of foreclosures they offer? I wouldn't want to waste time and money paying for those listings if there aren't realistic deals to search for.

GREAT QUESTION: you can register with any online company however many dont have accurate or updated information on their sites. FREE working with a realtor place you on MLS alert email moment a home posted in MLS match your specifications and lender approval. MLS governed by professional boards agents must post correct info.

No,No and No! Please contac t a local agent who can get you this info for free. These online sites just post notices of foreclosures they pull from public records & try to charge you for info that is available for free.DO NOT PAYThese propertes are not even on the market!This info is just bogus.

No, I'm my opinion it is not. There are several sites that you can go to to find foreclosures. Many of them are bank websites and it's free. Such Wells Fargo, Ocwen, Countrywide. I'd be happy to give you some websites. Not sure if I can post them though. Are you currently working with an Agent? He or she should have access to at least the MLS foreclosures.
