This information is sold all over the Internet on Realty sites, but we've giving you a back door to this (originally) free information. Real estate owned or REO is a class of property owned by a lender, typically a bank, after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. A bank will typically set the opening bid at a foreclosure auction for at least the outstanding loan amount. If there are no bidders that are interested, then the bank will legally repossess the property. This is usually the case as the amount owed on the home is probably higher than the value of this foreclosure property. As soon as the bank repossess the property it is listed on their books as REO and categorized as an asset (non-performing).

Most bank REO properties on the open market should be listed in MLS by the broker who performed the BPO. A common problem in many areas involves the listing broker "pocket listing" the transaction and not putting it out on the open market. Those who do put the listing on the MLS will sometimes not field legitimate offers in the hopes of selling it themselves, quite often contrary to the banks' wishes. As a result, a new industry has been created wherein bank REO exchanges have been developed to overcome this problem. Buying Bank Owned Properties Tips And Warnings
