- If I wish to bid on a property at a foreclosure
sale, how much is the required deposit and what
form of funds are accepted at sale?
Unless otherwise stated in the Notice of Sale
published in the newspaper, please bring 10% of
either the original note amount or the maximum amount
you are willing to bid on the property, whichever
is less, in either cash, money order, certified
or cashier’s check.
-Can I obtain the
opening bid amount prior to sale?
No, the lender’s opening bid will not
be disclosed prior to sale. The Trustee will announce
the opening bid at the foreclosure sale.
-Can I find out if
there are other liens or outstanding taxes on the
property, including delinquent Homeowners Association
dues?
SBAL will not disclose this information. It is the
bidder’s responsibility to obtain such information
through the public records prior to the sale date.
-Will I be able to inspect
the interior condition of the property prior to
the foreclosure sale or can the Trustee disclosed
the occupancy status of the property?
No, the defaulting borrower is the owner of
the property until after the foreclosure sale is
held, thus SBAL cannot grant any prospective bidders
access to the subject properties. Additionally,
our offices do not inspect the property nor do we
have information as to the occupancy status. All
properties are sold in “AS IS”
condition. The successful bidder bears the responsibility
of any eviction proceedings after sale should that
be necessary.
-If I am the successful
bidder at the foreclosure sale, how long do I have
to settle on the property and what if I am unable
to settle within this timeframe?
Generally, unless otherwise stated in the Notice
of Sale, settlement must occur within twenty (20)
days from the date of the foreclosure sale. Neither
the Trustee nor the mortgage lender/servicer has
the obligation to extend the time for settlement
to occur. In the event you are unable to settle
within the time restrictions provided in the Notice
to Sale and/or the Memorandum of Sale, you will
be deemed to be in default and your deposit may
be retained and property resold at your expense.
