Foreclosures, bank-owned properties, and short sales

Within the Washington metro area, a large percentage of availiable homes are foreclosures and short sales. Our team at Corus has broad expertise in both foreclosures and short sales, as well as many other types of distressed real estate sales. We've conducted hundreds of such transactions over the past 24 months alone. If you're contemplating shopping for distressed residential real estate, consider the following:

Our agents are expert at navigating the complicated short sale / foreclosure process. Purchasing a distressed real estate asset can be a long, frustrating process. Mortgage companies and other lenders that own homes can often be bureaucratic, difficult to deal with, and slow to make decisions. Our specialists know how to navigate the process and get a short sale or foreclosure contract to settlement. They know the common pitfalls and roadblocks in the process, and their efforts can greatly streamline the process for their buyer clients.

We know where the deals are. The current high volume of foreclosures provides homebuyers with the opportunity to purchase quality homes at excellent prices. However, not all foreclosures are good values. Some neighborhoods are experiencing a downward spiral of value erosion and are best avoided. But other neighborhoods have the potential to quickly rebound as our volume of foreclosures diminishes. Our professionals can help to identify great foreclosure deals.

We're already helping many sophisticated real estate investors. Local real estate investors have hired Corus to source portfolios of residential real estate. These are sophisticated individuals who seek value in residential real estate assets and know the appreciation potential of fundamentally solid real estate holdings. If you're thinking about purchasing residential real estate as an investment, talk to us -- we're already in this business, and we know it well. Let us help you find great deals.

Large financial institutions turn to Corus to sell their foreclosure assets. Corus' REO department represents many of America's largest financial institutions, helping them to sell their distressed assets.
