What is a REO property? Real Estate Owned by a
bank. This is real property that a bank owns from the result
of a Foreclosure. The banks cannot own the property and
must sell it. Every month that they own it they carry it as a
liability on the books, which represents less money they are
allowed to loan to new borrowers. There is also the real
costs to own, such as insurance, taxes, maintenance, and
repair costs.
How is the asking price set? After the foreclosure,
the bank orders several BPO's or Broker Price Opinions
from local real estate agents and/or appraisers. They try to
set the price low enough to sell quickly. However the market
will determine the final selling price as the bank is a very
motivated seller. (see "What is a REO property?")
How is the asking price set on a short sale? After assembling the "short Sale Package" a price is set to
secure a quick offer. Then the offer is sent to the bank along with the short sale package. The bank will order a BPO
and make a decision to agree to a short sale.

bid according to the terms of each auction you can bid on the property. Some Auctions are live with a Auctioneer calling
the bids, others are online only. Each auction can be different see the terms to determine the type of auction. A
Absolute Auction means the property will be sold to the highest bidder with no reserve or minimum price set. A seller
reserve means the seller has the right to accept or reject the highest bid. A minimum bid Auction means that the
property will be sold to the highest bid above the minimum price.

Where is this list of properties compiled from? All of the properties above are currently listed with
West Coast Realty Group, or one of several companies that have allowed West Coast Realty Group to list their
properties on this site. Each one has a Motivated Seller. Some of the properties are REO owned properties that the
banks have not put on the Market yet. The bank has to make a decision to sell the property as is or in other cases to
have repairs done. They contract with West Coast Realty Group to arrange for the repairs and cleaning. This is how
you can find out about many bank owned properties before they are listed on the MLS.
