Williams and Williams real estate auctions booming

Foreclosure Auction

Foreclosures are mounting, forcing major lenders and other financial institutions to call in reinforcements to help them move their real estate inventory as quickly as possible.

Williams & Williams — among the top auctioneers of real estate in the world — is on speed dial. The Oklahoma-based operation is working overtime with industry powerhouses such as Fannie Mae to market and sell Real Estate Owned (REO) homes nationwide.

In fact, Bloomberg.com today has an extensive feature on the involvement of Williams & Williams and its critical roll in getting the housing market moving again. In fact, according to the article, the company intends to “triple its peak sales to 10,000 houses a month this year.”

That’s great news for bargain shoppers in all corners of the United States — foreclosures are hot and getting hotter.

Here is a snip from Williams & Williams Chairman and CEO, Dean Williams, on the value of buying distressed real estate:

“We’re creating values beyond just short-term profit. Those values, we feel, are efficiency, transparency, competition, stewardship…. Our focus is much longer than prices going up or down, even in a crisis of this magnitude.”

Williams & Williams should sound familiar to our readers. That’s because we have worked hand-in-hand with them to coordinate educational presentations in the past, showing interested investors and others how to navigate the foreclosure process in their areas.

We both believe that knowledge is power and the key to success in this business, which is the reason we have teamed up to deliver free online training seminars. And we’re set to do it again on Feb. 26 at 9 p.m. ET, with Outsmart Experts at Foreclosure Auctions and Win!

This is a LIVE 60-minute Webinar training that will show you step-by-step how to navigate and profit from the foreclosure process right in your backyard. To participate in — and register for — the FREE online instructional session CLICK HERE.

Real estate deals like these will not last … learn how to make the most with them before someone else does! Outsmart Experts at Foreclosure Auctions and Win! is a free training opportunity.

Bank foreclosures homes no longer hidden

The surge in mortgage defaults and consequent spike in foreclosures nationwide has forced major lending institutions to rethink the way in which they handle marketing and liquidating their inventories, according to a recent article in Daily Business Review (log-in required).

“Lenders have been more proactive,” said Anthony Segrich, Foreclosure.com REO manager, in the article. “The truth is out there, and the stigma is less than it used to be so now they are working toward solving the problem.”

Historically, lending institutions have been reluctant to promote their real estate portfolios. That’s because touting Real Estate Owned (REO) homes — an industry term coined to refer to foreclosures — is, in a sense, admitting that they issued bad loans. Not to mention banks are in the business of lending money … not marketing and selling real estate.

That’s the reason Web sites like Foreclosure.com are so valuable. We have direct relationships with with many of the top lending institutions, as well as best data sources, in the nation. And now that several banks appear to be more willing to share more of their foreclosure listings it can only mean one thing:

Better real estate deals.

Indeed, there is a huge supply of foreclosures currently on the market and not an equal amount of interested buyers. What does that all mean for you? In short, cheaper prices and more choices.

But you need to act fast because the amazing deals that are out there — up to 50 percent or more off true market value — are moving fast. Look no further than the recent report we passed along last week, which indicates that foreclosures sales are skyrocketing while traditional sales are lagging.

In short, foreclosures are hot and getting hotter. And Foreclosure.com is working with lenders and banks every day to pass along all these great saving opportunities to you. Check out what’s available in your area today right here. It’s FREE to search your neighborhood (With FREE 7-Day Trial).

Home foreclosure sales on the rise nationwide

While traditional real estate transactions continue to plunge virtually across the board, foreclosure sales are actually surging throughout the United States, according to the latest housing report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

In fact, NAR — America’s largest trade association, representing 1.2 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries — estimates (via the Atlantic Journal Constitution) that foreclosures and other distressed properties now account for a whopping 45 percent of existing home sales.

That’s significant and quite remarkable, considering that home sales throughout the nation dipped to the lowest level on record in November 2008, falling 4 percent to 82.3 from from 85.7 in October.

The simple fact is that “mounting job losses and very weak consumer confidence” have taken such a serious toll on prospective buyers. Additionally, with more and more existing homeowners finding themselves in foreclosure situations, smart buyers realize that lenders are more willing to part with bank-owned real estate faster and for far less money.

Especially today, which is considered a buyer’s market where great options are plentiful.

Foreclosure Internet searches soar; Foreclosure.com emerges as top destination

Foreclosure filings are surging nationwide, creating a massive pool of unbelievable real estate deals that have not been seen in a very long time if at all.

It’s an unfortunate trend that has opportunistic buyers and investors taking to the Information Super Highway in search of potential steals in their local areas.

And, according to an Associated Press report that was released over the weekend, Web surfers are riding their cyber waves right to the Foreclosure.com funnel of nearly 2 million distressed real estate listings located throughout the nation.

Here’s a snip:

“If popularity is any indicator, Foreclosure.com … in the four weeks ended Dec. 13 received 26.5 percent of all online traffic visits after users searched Web sites for the word ‘foreclosure.’”

That’s a healthy chunk of a very big pie, considering there are sites that crop up everyday that claim to have the best data and foreclosure information. It’s therefore become increasingly hard for foreclosure hunters to distinguish friend from foe.

Have confidence in knowing that the Foreclosure.com family of companies has been around since 1999 — we were among the first to offer distressed real estate listings and have been the best ever since. We’ve worked hard to provide our site visitors with the very best property data since Day One, which is more than likely the reason behind our popularity and longevity.

We also offer first-time customers a FREE 7-Day Trial to let them test drive and experience the Foreclosure.com difference. Several find deals right away and unsubscribe without ever paying a single penny. Most, however, stick around for a very long time after finding their first investment home or foreclosure bargain.

That fact is what speaks to the true value that Foreclosure.com and the unrivaled services that we provide investors and buyers everywhere.
