justsold — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:24:16 -0500

Hudson & Marshall has auctioned more than 8,000 foreclosures on a national basis during a two year time period. They are qualified to conduct auctions in every state in the nation and have done so in most. Their client list is quite impressive; it includes Bank of America, Bank of New York, Chase Bank, Freddie Mac, Wells Fargo Bank, CitiFinancial and so many more. Since they are the premiere auction house, below we have detailed the steps in bidding and buying at a Hudson & Marshall Auction.

I would strongly suggest that you hire an agent who is an expert in the auction process before you start. The banks pay the agent's commissions and it literally costs you nothing, but could save you thousands. As well as helping you research the properties, the agent can help you determine a maximum bid price for each property you are interested in and make sure you don't get caught up in the buyer's frenzy!
