There are lots of web sites that sell or post foreclosure listings - the main problem with that is they don't keep them up to date - you may call about a home that sold months ago. I agree with Dale that the best place to find foreclosures is through the Realtor's MLS web site, as we are fined if we don't keep things uyp to date. Working with a Realtor is your best bet as we know what words to look for if they don't come right out and say this is a foreclosure. Then you also have the benefit of the Realtor's Buyer's Agent experience in negotiations, and the fact that they are working for you as the seller's agent already has a fidicuary responsibility to the seller and has to protect their interests. All commissions are paid by the seller so the added bonus is that it is FREE. You can also search directly on my web site for foreclosures under special descriptions in the advanced criteria section. I would be happy to run a search for you in the area and price range you are looking for and set up the appointments for you to see what interests you. Just email me the info through my web site.

The other answers did a great job of answering where you can locate foreclosures.

I also wanted to let you know there's a program offered through MHDC that allows buyers who purchase a foreclosure a credit of 20% of the sale price, up to $14,999. You can get information on the credit at my website http://letsgetitsold.com/Showcase14.Htm

Jason,

The Banks and the Government have created sites to give the public access to their properties for sale and these sites also contain much other information like the bid/purchase process each of them uses.
Sites like these... https://www.bidselect.com/servlet/RouterServlet?p_build_page…

http://www.countrywide.com/purchase/f_reo.asp ... http://www.homepath.com/

http://www.pasreo.com/pasreo/public/propertySearch.do

You can find the links to these sites and much more here... http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/wiki/REO_Database_List.asp .... http://www.biggerpockets.com/bank-reo.html

If you feel like browsing give them a look..
Good luck, Dunes

Once a home is processed by the bank, it is listed with a Realtor and posted on the Multilist Service (MLS) for its local area so it gets the maximum exposure and potential buyers can see it. The banks, VA, HUD, Fannie May, Freddie Mac, etc will typically also have other websites that the homes are posted on, BUT, they will be posted on the local MARIS/MLS service and will be picked up through the IDX exchange service by any realtor or service that has full access to repost the MLS listings, such as Realtor.com, ColdwellBanker.com, CBGundaker.com, and ALL the local Real Estate companies and individual realtors who have their own websites. ALL members of the local Real Estate Boards, for example, who are also members of the local MLS have the right to repost the MLS listings on their website. You can look on my website, or on Pete's or on any number of Realtor websites.

There is no individual website, regardless of what they try to tell you or sell you, that will list all the foreclosures other than the MLS, unless it pulls the data from the MLS. The VA has it's own site, HUD uses First Preston and they have 3 or 4 sites that they list on because the company that they pay to do it, runs the sites. And that company also does some bank foreclosures, but other banks use other websites. Freddie Mac uses a different website than Fannie May, etc., that's why we typically use the MLS, since once the home is listed there, it's really on the market and available. Sometimes when it's listed on the other sites, it's still coming soon and that could be months away and the bank won't talk to you about it until they are ready to release it.

NOW, most people get tired of trying to find them on their own, so they set up with a Realtor to email them the info on homes that match what they are looking for as they come on the market. ,
