Experience Purchasing from Select Portfolio Services?

[Brittany Lischinsky]

Hi, there is a long time abandoned house I am interested in purchasing. The title to the house appears with the town tax office to still be in the original homeowners' names, but the taxes are being paid by Select Portfolio Servicing.  The home is an eyesore in a nice neighborhood and would make a great flip.  Select has been paying the taxes for almost 20 years so I understand the town can't do anything to force a sale of the home. I've tried calling SPS to speak to them about purchasing the home but I can't get through to an actual person to speak to. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get in touch with a person at SPS? Also, does anyone know what the legal status of this house might be (title still in the homeowners' names but the taxes being paid by SPS)? Thank you!

@Brittany Lischinsky SPS doesn’t own the house, so they can’t sell it…..you’d have to find the owner of record.
