Buying or Selling a Home/Tax sales

Question
How do I fiud out about tax sales (real estate) in any state?
Who do I call or look up on the internet. How do these people buying them do it?

Answer
Hi Deb;
There are services that have lists they sell.  You can subscribe to these services or spend a great deal of time digging for the information.  The sales are government or bank sales and so you can start there by calling the banks or the tax offices.  

I have never done much in the way of searches for these websites but any sales are on the courthouse steps and therefore you can call the county court to ask about tax sales coming up.

Best wishes,

Experience

Anyone who is in this business and who dedicates oneself to professionalism has continued to take classes and along with it,additional credentials, awards and honors. I can list a host of them, but my greatest accomplishments happen to be those of getting first time buyers (who didn't think they could afford to buy a home)into a home of their dreams. The look on their faces when I hand over the keys is worth all of the hard work.
