Many people in the market today are looking for foreclosure homes, or just Great Buys. But I have heard some ask,"Where do we find these homes?".

The best place to start is your local Real Estate Agent. They have access primarily to the local Multiple Listing Service, which brings together all the listings through Real Estate Professionals in the local area. The agents also have other sources for homes, such as market websites, and through business contacts. Right now, bank owned and government owned properties are showing up on local multiple listing services right away, so you can usually find that special place you are looking for through a local agent.

But if you do not feel comfortable with another person involved in your search just yet, you can always peruse the web. A good place to start there is Realtor.com. It is fairly accurate, and usually has most of the property inventory in a certain area.
You should also check out government websites for government homes for sale. Some websites charge for this information, but if you know where to look, you can get the information on the homes for free.
Our website, FeatherRiverProperties.net, includes government owned home websites, a list of our own listings, and a way to peruse our local Multiple Listing Service for properties for sale.

There are also printed publications that can be used, but a good listing that is priced well may be sold before it can come out in print.

And again, you can always call or email me, Brad White at Feather River Properties. Our number is 530-533-2141, or you can call me direct at 530-533-5125.
