So we have all heard of foreclosures and maybe even pre-foreclosures, but did you know there is such thing as a post foreclosure? A popular term used in the real estate business for a post foreclosure is an REO, and it's not the band. An REO stands for banks real estate owned. These are sometimes defined as post foreclosures. If a foreclosed property does not sell while at the court house period of time, it reverts back to the lender. It will then end up into the banks REO inventory and will be listed with a local real estate agent in that area. Banks list it with these agents because they are the ones who understand the market and can get the most amount of money for the property. This process is almost always a local realtor working for the bank. How many local realtors do you know? You may want to take them out to lunch tomorrow.
