Real Estate Owned (REO) properties are homes owned by lenders, such as banks or government loan insurers, after a foreclosure auction. Foreclosure happens when a homeowner cannot meet loan payments, and the property is auctioned with an opening bid. If the bid is not met, the property becomes an REO. A key advantage of REO properties is that they often have a clean title.
Managing REO properties involves multiple steps to ensure they are ready for sale. This includes completing Broker Price Opinions (BPOs), overseeing necessary repairs, and utilities and property upkeep. Pre-marketing tasks such as eviction processes and preparing the property for sale are handled carefully to protect the asset.
Once listed, REO properties are actively marketed, and all requirements set by lenders and the Department of Real Estate are followed. Regular updates, including reports and photos, keep all parties informed until the escrow process is complete.
