A Glance At Arizona Trustee Sales And Foreclosures - Want A Professional Bid Service?

By Marjorie J. Holcomb


Overview of Arizona Trustee Sales

For people searching for excellent Arizona properties at bargain prices, a trustee sale might be the way to go. When homes or other types of property go into foreclosure, and house owners sadly are unable to produce the essential funds to stop the process, a trustee may take charge of the house on behalf of the mortgage holder. A lot of lenders choose an attorney to act as their official adviser as trustee. The trustee is then in charge of searching for a new buyer for the foreclosed home, someone who is willing to pay for the privilege of taking new property ownership which the former owner was unable to pay for.

Trustee sales, found in Arizona as in other states, are performed by public auction. While the theory of 'top bidder wins' is always observed, trustees will establish minimum bid specifications to make sure that the home is sold for a good value. Notice of upcoming foreclosure sales, with reserved dates, times, and also public auction areas, as well as the address and description of the property or home to be sold, would be made publicly known a minimum of three months prior to the auction date. This time and date is at the discretion of the lender or beneficiary.

When buying a house at auction - it's the 1st Deed of Trust you are wanting to buy. You need to make sure that the Deed of Trust (DOT) is within 1st Title Position and not a 2nd Deed of Trust or third Deed of Trust. There are times that it makes sense to purchase a 2nd Deed of Trust when the value of the 1st DOT and purchase price of the 2nd DOT are under the Fair Market Price. This is an unusual event but does take place from time to time. While evaluating the Title there are several other items that also need reviewed that may pass thru to the successful auction bidder. Most essentially are Property Taxes that may be in the arrears and also any City Liens. City Liens can be put on a property for some reasons but mostly pertain to Vacant Properties which have been vandalized where windows have been broken, grafitti is present, weeds-trash and debris are apparent, and swimming pools have green/stagnant water. Many of the Title Platforms don't display this activity and can be important. During our due dilegence on properties, we've found City Liens from less than $200 up to $35,000. The pros at AZ Foreclosure Bid Service LLC work diligently with title professionals to screen possible properties which clients may be interested in obtaining.

Do You Want to Do it Yourself?

The old fashioned means of finding suitable properties to bid on at trustee sales involves a lot of legwork. First, a visit to the state recorder's office will be needed in order to examine all the available properties in the area which might be of interest. Next, possible buyers will want to drive out and go to these properties themselves, just to make sure that what's mentioned in the trustee sales announcements is correct and that the property is indeed in acceptable condition. Going to the local courthouse on the day of the auction to bid is the last step, but of course it is not suitable to come empty handed. Anybody hoping to bid on property at a trustee sale should have a cashier's check of $10,000 for the proper trustee. When a last bid has been accepted, the buyer must be ready to pay full price by 5pm the following business day, or else the auctioneer could put the property or home back up for public auction and you risk giving up your $10,000 and being sued for the remainder amount of bid.

Need to Try the Easy Way?

Obviously, the above mentioned technique to buy Phoenix Foreclosures and other properties demands a substantial investment of time and energy - most of it spent out and about in the sometimes sizzling Arizona sun. Although the do-it-yourself method can be a genuine and helpful way to acquire a good house or other form of property, the whole thing can also be performed online, with the assistance of a pro bidding service which will manage all of the details for a flat rate. At the time of the sale, people using such a service can follow the activity live from anywhere in the world, and make their offers in real time as the auction continues. Foreclosure properties slated for trustee sales are detailed on the internet by these trustee services, so any research that must be done by the buyer before settling on a property to buy can be performed by the pros at AZ Foreclosure Bid Service LLC for you.

Remember that Arizona Foreclosure Properties Must Get Good Care

Regardless of whether a prospective property buyer relishes the task of performing all the work on their own, or would prefer to find the best property quickly and conveniently with AZ Foreclosure Bid Service LLC, trustee sales are one of the best ways available to get either bulk, or individual, excellent real estate on good terms. It's of course terrible when someone is forced to leave their home for monetary reasons, but it will be an even bigger shame if excellent properties were just forgotten and left to fall into ruin, and the true value of a trustee sale is that it prevents this from happening while having opportunity to turn a possible revenue.
