Newb help with contacting bank or realtor to bid on a property

April Oswalt
Posted

I have found a local property that I want to purchase. I have done research and found out that the property was abandoned when the owner passed away. The bank currently owns the property. I am in PA, the bank is in CA.  It has been listed over the past 2 yrs by multiple realtors. I have contacted several of the realtors and am being told that the property was "taken from us" (I assume from the bank who then tried another Realtor) or that they do not know who currently lists it. Nobody really seems all that interested in connecting me with somebody who can actually take my bid on this place, which is understandable as it has been sitting here since 2018 with no offers and none of them really seem to want to put any effort into this place, as it is not worth much. None of the realtors can give me any info on how to actually buy this place. I researched the title etc and contacted the bank that owns it. It is not on the county auction site I look at.  I am waiting to hear from pretty much anyone connected to this property to return a call so I can figure out how to buy it. Any suggestions of what to do next would be greatly appreciated.
