Finding Foreclosure listings on the Internet is not an easy task. Even as a Realtor, it is often difficult to sort the Foreclosures from the short sales from the regular sales.
I was so excited this morning when I noticed that a company called RealtyTrac, (a Pay-for service) was advertising their very extensive list of foreclosure properties on Trulia.com. When I looked at these listings I noticed that the listings of course does not list the 'Full Address'. Of course RealtyTrac wants you to pay for their service before they will disclose the details of the property. All the Trulia listing gives is the City or Neighborhood, Zip code, Street and Price. But where on that street is the house????
No problem for me I thought. I can easily search for every home for sale, under contract or sold; simply by knowing the street and zip code. And knowing the price makes it even easier!
Then the problem became apparent: I could not find any of these listings. Now granted I only tried the first 9 or 10. RealtyTrac has hundreds listed on Trulia - I am sure some of these I could find. Maybe? Perhaps the list prices are incorrect to prevent someone like me from NOT PAYING for their service and using the List Price and Street Name to find the property.
Either way - I bring into question why Trulia.com allows this company to post (seemingly) inaccurate information on their site?
Well back to the drawing board to finding a good, reliable and easy way to find only foreclosure properties.
