How to find who purchased home at courthouse steps

[Kevin Polite]

We were under contract on a short sale tha fell through. It was purchased at the courthouse steps by someone else. The selling agent told me the guy bought to wholesale and all he has is his first name. Any suggestions on how to find him? I know in this county it takes sometimes weeks to months to record.

Good job on finding the new owner. I want to suggest that you watch that property and see what happens to it and what the owner is able to sell it for, what terms, who the buyer is and who the lender is. When someone in my market is asking too much they are probably dreaming and won't be able to sell it and will change their price....eventually. But when they sell for their asking price, I sometimes learn something new about my market....who's buying what and for how much.
