Comprehensive REO Services

At Stern & Eisenberg, our Real Estate Owned (REO) services are designed to support lenders and financial institutions in managing and disposing of foreclosed properties efficiently and cost-effectively. Our experienced team streamlines the process, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and providing seamless management from foreclosure completion to asset disposition.

Real Estate Owned (REO) refers to properties that a lender, typically a bank or financial institution, acquires after an unsuccessful foreclosure auction. These properties are returned to the lender because they were not sold during the auction, often due to a lack of bids that meet the minimum price or cover the outstanding loan balance.

Once a property becomes REO, the lender assumes ownership and is responsible for its management, maintenance, and eventual sale. The ultimate goal is to sell the property to recoup losses from the defaulted loan.

Stern & Eisenberg REO Services Include:

Title and Ownership Transfer: Handling all aspects of title clearing and ensuring proper transfer of ownership.
Evictions: Managing post-foreclosure evictions in compliance with applicable laws to secure the property.
Contract Review and Negotiation: Preparing, reviewing, and negotiating purchase agreements for property sales.
Asset Disposition: Coordinating property sales to maximize recovery, whether through private sales or auctions.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring all transactions adhere to state and federal regulations, minimizing risks for our clients.

Our hands-on approach, coupled with advanced technology, ensures smooth file management and efficient resolution of REO matters. We understand the nuances of property management, compliance, and asset recovery, allowing us to deliver tailored solutions that meet each client’s unique needs. Partner with Stern & Eisenberg to streamline your REO process and maximize the value of your assets.

Whether you’re closing on a residential property or managing the complexities of a commercial transaction, Stern & Eisenberg provides the expertise and attention to detail needed for a successful outcome.
