I have been searching online but I can't find a lising of foreclosed homes. I need to get a list of the ones in NC. Can anyone help? My sister is looking to buy a house soon!

First of all, are you sure she wants a foreclosed home? Often they are not looked after and require major repairs..unless she is handy or has a handy man and wants a fixer upper, I really wouldnt go this route...A lot of people who dont pay their mortgages, also dont look after the house as they cant afford repairs either. You can find lists on the internet but more often than not, they require payment for a list. Real estate agents have foreclosures but by the time they get them, their fees are added to the price. Another route you can take is to actually contact different financial institutions, finance companies etc, in the area where she wants to live, and ask if they have any...If they have some they would be more than willing to tell you so they can retrieve money on it before it goes to a realtor

Can't you walk through the home like any other home? I think she is just looking for the best deal possible with the economy. She was pre-approved yesterday so I have contacted some realtors to see what listings they have and what we can start looking at.
