How do you find foreclosure properties to buy in Brandon Florida?  Well, the easy answer is call me!  Seriously, finding foreclosed properties is easy for realtors because we have instant access to all properties that are listed on MLS.  Plus, to make it easier, we have access to a system that searches and delivers tax records for bank owned properties. 

But, if you are a brave soul and want to go it alone, here are some tips to finding foreclosures. 

Fee based foreclosure service companies:  These companies will provide a list of foreclosures in your area for a fee.  RealtyTrac is one and try www.foreclosure.com.

Auction Houses:  There are many auction houses both nationally, regionally, and locally.  To start your search, Google "Real estate auctions" for local auctioneers or look up these national companies:   United Country Auction Services, Williams and Williams and Real Estate Disposition Company.

Asset Managers:  Check with the banks in your area, but most major banks have asset managers that deal with REO's (bank owned properties).  Check the bank websites for more information or call a branch and ask to speak with an Asset Manager.  You can also goocheck with Keystone Asset Management (www.keystonebest.com).

Real Estate Signs:  Drive neighborhoods in your area and pay attention to the real estate signs.  Many properites that are bank owned, short sales or in foreclosure will have a rider on the sign that indicates that status.  Call the agent on the sign and find out more details.

Unless you are a professional investor and have the time to do all of these things on your own, it is really probably worth it to just let a real estate agent work for you.  They can quickly navigate the large amount of information out there and find you a great opportunity!

If you have any other questions about real estate in Brandon, Florida, foreclosure properties, short sales, or bank owned (REO's), please call or email me and let me help you. Randy@TampaHouseMan.com or (813) 846-9190.
