This is a highly ranked AVM, but like all AVM's it is only as good as the public record data available and does not take into account property condition and other factors which may affect the value. An AVM is no substitute for a professional opinion of value, based on knowledge of the local market and condition of the property, which is best provided by a Realtor(R) or appraiser.</p> </div> <p> </p> <div> <a href="http://www.foreclosureradar.com/faq/how-reliable-your-data">How reliable is your data?</a></div> <!-- Close div: faq-question faq-dt-hide-answer --> <div> <p>We try really hard to ensure our data is accurate, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our data as we gather it from a variety of sources.<br /> Before purchasing a property, you should verify all details; and if possible, purchase title insurance. If you think you've found an error in our data, please contact us to report it. Also, please keep the following in mind:</p> <ol> <li>Property information (beds, baths, sq ft, etc.) comes from the county assessor's office, and only reflects the original details of the property when it was built, and work completed under permit. You should verify these details by physically inspecting the property prior to purchase. </li> <li>Title information shows that there may be other items owed on the property including loans, past due property taxes, IRS liens and other encumbrances. Depending on whether the property is purchased before the auction from the owner, at auction, or from the bank after the auction, the purchaser may be responsible for paying some or all of these items. A title insurance policy should identify all of these items and provide insurance in the event it does not. Be careful of lien and loan reports offered by other services - we are not aware of any service other than an insured title policy that reliably provides complete lien and loan information. Even then keep in mind that title companies offer insurance for a reason - they make mistakes too.</li> <li>Estimated Equity and Loan Positions are determined using computer models and have not been manually reviewed. As such they should be used with caution and we strongly recommend you do your own due diligence, and when applicable get title insurance. </li> </ol> <p> </p> <div> <a href="http://www.foreclosureradar.com/faq/why-does-your-site-indicate-there-are-less-opportunities-other-sites">Why does your site indicate that there are less opportunities than other sites?</a></div> <!-- Close div: faq-question faq-dt-hide-answer --> <div> <p>We believe we have the most accurate count of real foreclosure opportunities in the business. We only include Notices of Default (as Preforeclosure opportunities) for 120 days after they are issued, or until a Notice of Sale is filed, whichever occurs first. If a Notice of Sale has not been filed within 120 days the owner has likely resolved the problem. Similarly, we only include Bank Owned opportunities for 120 days after the auction, as the bank will have likely listed the property in the MLS by that point. If you want to lookup properties over 120 days, you can still search our historical data. </p> <p>The most significant difference between ForeclosureRadar™ and other sites is regarding active auction opportunities. We include auction opportunities from the date the Notice of Sale is filed until the foreclosure is actually sold, or the foreclosure is cancelled. As the only site that actively tracks every auction in California, we are the only company who can actively remove Auction opportunities as soon as they are resolved.</p> <p>Bottom line…by only including active opportunities, we show fewer opportunities than our competitors, but save you from wasting time on dead deals.</p> </div> <p> </p> <div> <a href="http://www.foreclosureradar.com/faq/what-difference-between-opening-bid-and-published-bid">What is the difference between an Opening Bid and the Published Bid?</a></div> <!-- Close div: faq-question faq-dt-hide-answer --> <div> <p>The Published Bid is the estimated opening bid published in the Notice of Trustee Sale, where as the Opening Bid is the actual amount at which the lender plans to, or did, start the bidding at auction.</p> </div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <h2> </h2> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></div> </div> <!--footer --> <div id="footer"> <div class="footer"> <div class="footer_left"> <div class="footer_right"> <ul class="menu"> <li class="first"><a href="http://www.slocountyhomes.com/index.html" class="active">Home</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.slocountyhomes.com/search_mls_page.htm">Property Search</a></li> <li><a href="http://blog.slocountyhomes.com/">BLOG</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.slocountyhomes.com/newlistex.php">New Listings</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.slocountyhomes.com/the_keith_byrd_team.html">About Us</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.slocountyhomes.com/contact.htm">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> <p><span>Keith Byrd</span> © 2011. cssmenu</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!--footer end--> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.now(); </script> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
