If no one else bids on the property at the courthouse auction, then the foreclosing bank becomes the owner of the home. The new owner/bank will begin the eviction process, but based on the number of files they have the timeframe can vary significantly.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

That is the secret only the bank knows when they are going to evict the last owner.
I wish I had better news for you.

FIRST ANSWER

Eventually the new owner/bank will proceed with standard eviction processes. Typically they will try all normal means to get a hold of the tenant. If they fail, they will have a constable put a 3 day notice on the door and after three days everything will be moved out.

The thing is every bank moves at different paces, I have heard from most of them that once they get the house back this process can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months.

hope this helps
