Foreclosure Lists: be careful where you get your data

Foreclosure list providers are often the best way to get your data if you're marketing to preforeclosure properties. These list providers are very much smaller operations. They focus on select counties in a small geographic area, so they can provide their clients with the best, most recent data.

While there are many national list providers, unfortunately, large portions of their data can be old, and out of date. This article discusses many of the problems that national foreclosure list providers face: many times they list foreclosure properties for sale, when they have, in fact, already been sold.

Our recommendation when selecting a list provider is to go with a smaller, local company, that is sending people down to the courthouse on a daily basis. For a list of local data providers, check the toolbar on the left, or visit www.SaveMeFromForeclosure.com
