Hi again 1st time,
All the property that is for sale in my area is on my website and can be viewed for free and with no obligation. Look for a good agent in San Jose that gives their clients access to your local MLS and you will be able to see everything there too.
It would be nice and appropriate for you to use that agent as your buyer agent when you want to purchase though.

You can view them for free. Just go to my web site and log on ( see below ) you can put in a free REO search that is more accurate than some of these web sites that give you mis-leading information about pre-forclosure properties and are not updated on the status of availability on forclosed properties.
Just log on and put in your criteria and away you go, if you have any problems or questions I can help you with your search.

Regards,
Allyson

Aggregating all that information regularly takes time... That's why there is a subscription fee.

Any transaction that is recorded with the county is public information. You do not have to pay a fee to view it, you just have to visit the county clerks office. Below is for Santa Clara County. As with what Bill said, bring your own recording material, last I remember, copies cost a fee.

... and if you are wondering why the site does not have the information online, go read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) part of the site.




Why can't I see the document contents on your web site like I can see at your office?

We are prohibited from posting document contents on the Internet due to Government Code Section 6254.21.

This State law prohibits state and local agencies from posting documents with addresses of government officials on the Internet without the official's express written permission. Some of our documents have addresses of government officials. There is no feasible way of determining which documents have those addresses and /or of getting permission to post them. If you wish this law to be changed, please contact your state legislators.

You will want to look at active listings on the MLS. Other websites showing NOT's and NOD's are confusing and don't really help you find the home that is FOR SALE.

If you have public access to your local register of deeds, city or county as is the norm in your market, that's it. Otherwise... don't subscribe to any of those paid sites; they all almosts always are out of date and hence, useless. Or hook up with a realtor who knows how to stay up on foreclosures.

Have your real estate agent set you up on an automatic email subscription.

As with most things in life you get what you pay for. If you are prepared to go down to the County Records Office you can freely use their data bases to get a complete list of all properties actually in the foreclosure process. You should take your own pencil and paper or laptop so you can copy the information over. Understand that it is somewhat equivalent to painting the Golden State Bridge. By the time you have finished a good proportion will have changed status and are no longer relevant and another bunch will have been added.
On the other hand you can pay for this task to be perfomed by a 3rd party company using their sophisticated on-line systems (not free) and get a pretty accurate list at a given point in time.
If you are a serious buyer you will only be interested in properties actualy on the market. You Realtor can give you this information in real time.
If on the other hand you are an investor hoping to make a deal with the owner before the actual foreclosure completes, then you need to get some serious legal advice about such transactions. The penalties for getting this process wrong include going to jail.

Waste of time.

If you give your Credit Card Number to them, you WILL be charged and you will have a hassle trying to get it to stop.


In almost every county and parish in America, yes it is PUBLIC INFORMATION.
Many Clerks of Court and other Officials post it on the Internet.

Visit the Clerk of Court in your area and ask them where that information is posted.
