you just need an agent that is on the ball and call the bank almost every day to get an answer.
we do bank and shortsales and always answer our phone up until 9 PM

We are finding that a lot of agents are advertising property for sale that are not ready to go on the market. What happens is these agents know that they are getting the listing and start advertising it before the bank sets the price. The bank won't set the price until they have three seperate sources for the value and this takes some time. Do, you end up knowing about the property but you can't do anything about it but wait. If I can be of any help in the future, please let me know.

The agent you talked to should not be giving you a lock box code and not offering to show you the property themselves. It sounds like the property is in the pre-listing stage. The agent knows he is getting the listing but doesn't know the price yet. If it was already listed, you should have no trouble finding out what the price is.

Banks are motivated to sell their properties but there is a process to listing a foreclosed property. The agent knows they are getting the listing days before they know what the price is going to be.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
