Regularly, a small amount of bidders may materialize on the day of a property foreclosure auction, so there may be little or no contest for a particular property. Countless people are unaware that property can be purchased this way, or are intimidated by the procedure. This means that vacant land, condos, and single family homes are sold for a reduced amount of market value, sometimes considerably less. Most investors that buy at a foreclosure auction look for properties to be 25% to 30% less than retail value. But if you have patience and the right resources often enough you can purchase properties at a 50% or more of a discount. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commission or No Commission?:&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because you are purchasing directly at the auction this does not mean you that you will not pay a commission. Paying a foreclosure group a % fee for their services can be the difference between buying a great deal and losing a great amount of money. The foreclosure group or real estate pro that helps you with your auction purchase, will do most of the homework that is required, this includes funds for purchase, market valuation, lien, title information and much more. Remember buying a foreclosure can be easy but making a profit requires experience and experience is what a foreclosure expert can help you with. If you have purchased properties at auction and you feel that you know what your are doing all on your own, then you pay no commissions when are purchasing at auction &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ownership:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Typically quick possession if you are the successful bidder, you are entitled to possession of the property as soon as you receive the Trustee&amp;rsquo;s Deed.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accessibility: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Best of all, &lt;u&gt;anyone&lt;/u&gt; can purchase a property at auction. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.seattleforeclosuregroups.com/"&gt;www.seattleforeclosuregroups.com&lt;/a&gt; or call 425-216-3838&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="position:absolute;width:63px;height:19px;top:397px;left:168px;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="position:absolute;width:211px;height:19px;top:397px;left:240px;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="position:absolute;width:63px;height:19px;top:419px;left:168px;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="position:absolute;width:211px;height:19px;top:419px;left:240px;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.sorinrealty.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=565785" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>591897</name><uri>http://www.sorinrealty.com/members/591897.aspx</uri></author><category term="seattle foreclosure groups" scheme="http://www.sorinrealty.com/blogs/kingcountyforeclosures/archive/tags/seattle+foreclosure+groups/default.aspx" /><category term="how to buy foreclosures in Seattle" scheme="http://www.sorinrealty.com/blogs/kingcountyforeclosures/archive/tags/how+to+buy+foreclosures+in+Seattle/default.aspx" /><category term="king county foreclosures" scheme="http://www.sorinrealty.com/blogs/kingcountyforeclosures/archive/tags/king+county+foreclosures/default.aspx" /></entry></feed>
