Hi Jessica!

It is almost November and it I looks as though your parents have been searching for some time.
Have they had success yet?
If they are still in need of a property, feel free to give me a call at (845) 255-2724.

A phone conversation is a really good way for them to communicate their ideal house.
I have been practising Real Estate in this area for almost two decades now and will be able to give them a good sense of what is available, location-wise, price-wise and foreclosure-wise.
After that, their explorations of MLS will have more meaning; added to which, I would be able to send them customised selections.

Hi Jessica,

Just wondering if your parents have found a place yet? My boyfriend is going to put his house close to town, but just outside the village on the market soon. It is a 1400 square foot cape on a great lot - about 1/2 an acre. It needs a small amount of updating, but it is a fabulous location, privacy, walk to village etc. (He is not going to list it with a Realtor - I will be his consultant and he doesn't want to pay any commission. Guess he thinks I ate my commission in candlelit dinners :-). Anyway, e-mail me at janineb200@gmail.com if you think they might have interest. Thanks.

Hi Jessica,
Any reputable realtor can help you find a good deal in today's market. Most of the foreclosures are listed with realtors on the Multiple Listing Service. You can see ALL the listings (except those that are for sale by owner) on my website through the direct access to the Ulster County MLS I provide. go to http://www.RealtorKenW.com/MLS.htm and enjoy looking.

Why are your parents just looking at foreclosures? If they think that they can find a super deal on a foreclosure that may not be the case. If your parents are looking for a deal they may just find one that is ready to move into without going to a foreclosed home, which is usually in a sad and fix up condition.

I have many to look at and you can visit both my websites to find one you may want to look at. You may just want to look at Gardiner, Highland or Esopus which borders New Paltz.. You need to speak with a real estate broker, like me, who has lived in the area for twenty two years and could tell you who planted what crop last year.Yes I'd say I'm the local expert.

Hi Jessica,

Some great answers here! As a local realtor, we can do a search for corporate owned properties for you and have automatic emails sent to you as new ones come on the market...this is a free service. Additionally, we are HUD brokers and can send you information on new properties that come up every friday.

Another option for you might be the Ulster County Tax auction. This happens every spring for properties that are 3 years behind in taxes. I can email you more info about that if you are interested.

Feel free to drop us a line or give us a ring!

Have a great day!

Jessica,

Contact a local real estate professional for thei support. they will have access to the information you are looking for and the ability to waly you through the process step-by-step.

Good luck

The quickest way to find where foreclosures are is through a service such as realty trac. However, there is a charge for every service, around $50 a month. But after you have the informaiton you need to understand there are different types of foreclosues, REO -Realestate owned/bank owned, pre foreclosure and foreclose sale. Each one has differnt risk. The best thing to do is get a realtor that is a buyers agent and who know and understands foreclosures. Not all realtors understand foreclosures. The realty trac site is http://www.realtytrac.com.

Hi Jessica,
You can always contact your local lenders servicing department and ask them to connect you with their REO agents.
