I am writing my second review about Auction.com because people are confusing the process!
Auction.com is the MIDDLE man. They want to be paid their commission! There is a process you do sign up and put money up to bid for property listed on line.
You need to read how the process works! They do tell you to check with the country recorder to see if their are any liens on property and common sense will tell you to drive by the property to see if people occupy it. They attach files there for you to do your research!
They money that you need to wire to them for escrow is legit. You will get your money back if something beyond your control happens and you need to back out.
NOW! Nationstar has people there who lie, are unethical and will find every reason to not let you close the deal! Yes, NationStar I am talking about you!
If you are dealing with a property that Nation Star owns, I will pray for you! Hang tight thought, if you have an amazing real estate agent like the one I had (see my other review). You will need to contact the VP of NationStar and make sure you are replying ALL with all email correspondence. Try to have as little as possible phone contact because they are liars. And, don't let them raise their voice to you and try to attack you. Simply hang up and write them an email telling them that you did not like them screaming at you on the phone call at (state the time because all calls are recorded). I'M SAYING, STAND YOUR GROUND WITH NATIONSTAR!
