FORECLOSED BANK OWNED HOMES IN MARYLAND ARE A GOOD BUY.
We often hear agents say that they don't sell foreclosures (bank owned properties). We sell foreclosures and our home buyer clients are glad we do. On each home tour our experienced Buyers' Agentsinclude foreclosures, REO, bank owned, short sales are included in our home tours. 
Bank owned and short sale listings may not be the best selection for home owners who need quick occupancy. However, when a buyer realizes that they will probably be saving many $Thousands of Dollars through the purchase of a foreclosed property, even renting for a short while can often make the foreclosure or short sale property a good selection.
We have had buyers wait patiently as long as 7 months to close a short sale. We have had buyers wait patiently for up to 4 months to close on a bank owned property. Each one believed that it was worth the wait. The key is to prepare the buyer with the necessity of being prepared to wait with housing available while the transaction is making it's way through the process. It also helps to show buyers the market information that lets them know that they will be rewarded for waiting.
