Today I’ll also be answering a common question about foreclosures.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the term “foreclosure” before, but do you know what they are? Essentially, a foreclosure is a bank-owned property and involves a lengthy process for homeowners to go through.

When an owner is behind on their payments by too much, the bank will take possession of the home. Many buyers assume that banks are quick to get rid of these properties and that they’ll get a great deal on them. That’s not always the case.

The key is to be cautious and careful.

In fact, we’ve seen a lot of foreclosure situations where a homebuyer ends up paying full price. However, there are cases where you can find really good deals. The key is being cautious and careful, because most foreclosures are sold as-is without warranties. The seller won’t come back in and improve the property if you find something wrong, so be cautious and be careful.

The best way to do that is to ensure that you’re working with a rock star real estate agent like the ones here at Burch & Company.
