go tohttp:// www.socorealestate.com I have all the properties listed as soon as the notice of default is posted. ( This is 4-6 months before they become REO properties). There you can track the properties as they go from Preforeclosure to Auction and then REO. - Sat Aug 2 2008, 13:28

Hi Robert,

My first thought reading your question was " Does your agent have you set up to automatically receive NEW listings by email and then follow up with a phone call to make sure you received them? It sounds like you are always coming late to the table, either because you or your agent is not finding out about these properties early enough.

You mentioned you would offer all cash, are you buying as an investor? I have a service I offer that allows investors to track preforeclosure homes 4-6 months before they are listed with a REALTOR. This gives a competitive advantage to my Cash Offer Investor clients who are able to analyze these properties BEFORE the MLS listing goes live and is also a predictor of neighborhood values over the next 6 months. Please see my website for more information.

Angie, you can search all the preforeclosures for the entire state of California on my website either at the link below or www.goodbuyhomes.com - Sun Jul 13 2008, 12:53

Hi Heather,

I would agree that your concern on response time is valid, did the listing agent not respond at all or just not within 48 hours? Did your buying agent follow up with a call or just email? Your agent should have had the listing agent's cell phone number and be able to get a timely response. Just out of curiosity were you making an offer on a Bank owned home? I know one agent that handles a ton of the REO properties and his notes to the buyers agent is pretty clear that if you haven't heard from him its because their is no news to share about your offer. That being said you should at least be acknowledged that your offer was received. - Wed Jun 25 2008, 18:14

have you been inside the house yet or are you making this offer based on the asking price and drive by? I see there are only 2 houses in 95403 that are listed at $299 and both are short sales. Are you looking at the one with the 4bedroom or the one with 3bedrooms? Contact me off list if its the 4bedroom because I have some information that could be of value to your decision making on this purchase.
