Foreclosures listed on county website

[Jake Ridley]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a house in the next 6-9 months.  I am interested in purchasing a foreclosure to live in and need some help.  I have access to the foreclosure filings from our county's website.  I'm not real sure what to do next though!  I do know there are many more listings here than any other public forum.  It does seem though, many of these are in the pre-foreclosure phase.  

Are there any agencies that are willing to do the dirty work and find out which filings are legit foreclosures and contact the owner?  I don't exactly have the time right now but do think I can find a better deal looking for foreclosures than trying to find a home the typical route.  I'm just not sure how to go about this.    

I know this is a pretty vague description but I would love some guidance and direction in terms of next steps to take. 

Thanks!
