@Marci Stein Is this the actual foreclosure auction….or an REO auction? Auction.com does both and the potential risks are different. Generally, the REO auctions are done with clear title delivered, along with title insurance. I have seen though where a couple wer being sold subject to county code enforcement liens though. If it's an REO auction, do Not use their title company, despite the supposed savings. They are sloppy, charge a bunch of extra fees and do a bare bones title search/commitment (which excludes unrecorded but active code enforcement/utlity liens).
