Sarasota Foreclosures Frequently Asked Questions

Sarasota Foreclosures Real Estate


What is a Foreclosure?

A foreclosure happens when a borrower stops paying the mortgage and the lender takes back the property. You can buy it through auction or after the bank puts it on the market.

How do I find foreclosures?

You can search MLS listings labeled as bank owned or REO. You can ask your buyer’s agent to set alerts for new distressed listings, and you can also monitor county auction sites.

Are foreclosures sold As-Is?

Most are. Banks do not make repairs. You can still do inspections. You can cancel during the inspection period if the issues are too costly. Common issues include missing appliances, damaged drywall, and old roofs. Set aside a repair budget before you submit an offer.

What extra costs should I expect when buying a foreclosure?

You may face higher repair costs, title issues, or unpaid liens. Title insurance protects you. A full inspection helps you estimate repairs.

How often do Sarasota Foreclosures come available?

It will be rare for a property to go into foreclosure in Sarasota.

How do I know when a Sarasota Foreclosure is available?

Timing is everything. The best way to know is to be working with a dedicated Buyer’s Agent.

Will I get clean title when buying a foreclosure?

There are no guarantees your title would be clean at the beginning. It is imperative to have a full title search and exam completed to be sure there are no outstanding 2nd liens or title issues for the property.

Do I get a better deal buying a foreclosure property?

Maybe, but not always. There is a lot of potential risk and there is a lot of buyer competition. Many times, foreclosures end up not being the deal buyers anticipated. Other times, a strong buy can be acquired.

Can I get a mortgage for a foreclosure?

Yes, its possible, but the lender may require repairs for safety issues before closing. Homes with major damage may need a renovation loan. Also, there are a lot of cash buyers in the Sarasota market, so there will most likely be cash-buyer competition.
