How to Buy Foreclosures in Pleasanton

Foreclosures in Pleasanton represent about 1/2 percent of all available homes in Pleasanton. Today there are 273 homes in Pleasanton for sale and 12 of them are foreclosures. So how do you as a home buyer secure one of these Pleasanton foreclosures? Well first, hire a Realtor, I know obvious first step coming from a Realtor. The foreclosure market is sweeping the nation (if you watch national news) but not so much in Pleasanton, CA.

If you want to get a deal, you need to follow these steps on scoring big and making your friends jealous.

How to make Foreclosures in Pleasanton a ‘DEAL’ and a ‘STEAL’

1. Get a list of Foreclosures in Pleasanton – email us and we will get you Foreclosures in Pleasanton
2. Research the Pleasanton neighborhood – Ironwood Pleasanton (no Foreclosures here). We recently started doing Pleasanton Neighborhood Spotlights so check back often. Also, drive around the neighborhood at off times like night and weekdays.
3. Have your ducks in a row. Approved loan, budget in mind, narrowed down neighborhoods, property type focused on… You must be ready to JUMP when the right foreclosure comes up. Remember, Pleasanton dosen’t have a lot of foreclosures, so when a deal presents itself you better be ready.
4. Remember that foreclosures are the hot buzz right now and a lot of people with a lot of cash are buying them, so have solid financing in place and your action plan set.
5. Look for bargains on fixing up the home. Find a homeowner doing a kitchen remodel and buy their cabinets, buy appliances off craigslist, flooring can also be purchased cheaply from retailers closing up shop. Not all homes need thousands upon thousands poured into them. Get a deal on the house and a deal on what you put in the house too.
6. Hire a Realtor who has sold foreclosures in Pleasanton. Nothing is worse than losing out because your agent didn’t know how to follow the banks guidelines.
7. Get inspections! Foreclosures many times are sold as-is so don’t get too far ahead of yourself with repairs and upgrades. Just because it’s sold as-is dosen’t mean you cant investigate the potential issues.
8. Ask a neighbor. See what they like about the neighborhood, or don’t like.
9. Act like a boy scout, always be prepared. Meaning do your homework and know what your getting into.
10. Call the Moxley Team! After 4 Generations of selling real estate, we can set an action plan up for you.
