You cannot typically contact banks Directly. Most hire Realtors to handle REO sales since Banks have no one Licensed to sell the home, show the home, or list the home. Exception: Some Banks have REO properties listed online, find the home here http://www.BrevardAccess.com or contact me with the homes address.
I will then check the online links and auction sites I have on file for Deutsche Bank National . You will still need a realtor to tour the home.

The banks are very difficult to get in touch with and they do seem to always want an agent doing the negotiating. Realtors now work for these banks and speaking from experience as a listing agent, the banks are trying to get as much done with as little of their time as needed. They have out sourced everything to companies and agents. The properties get listed and sold very quickly so if there is a particular home you are interested in, you have to keep a very close eye. Now the laws in Florida state that a previous owner has up to 6 month after foreclosure to come up with the money owed and repay the bank on the loan. At that time they would get their home back. Therefore properties can not actually be sold until 6 months after the official foreclosure date.

Denise,

Unfortunately, banks do not deal with individual buyers for property they have acquired. They will place it in the hands of a real estate professional for disposal.

Our recommendation is to be in touch with a local agent and request information of the property as soon as it it posted on the MLS.

Good luck
