Thoughts on PropertyOnion.com

[Gregory Owen]

I received an email today suggesting some 'Osceola County Foreclosure & Tax Deed Auctions Coming up This Week' and encouraging me to request a title report for each. As an experienced broker of over 20 years with over 200 transactions of either bank owned or short sales completed I was a little surprised I was not aware of a couple of properties close to me. So I looked them up.  One borrower only purchased the property in July 2023. A public records search revealed Property Taxes paid up to date and no Foreclosure case in either County or Circuit Courts for the current new owner. An old case for the former owner was discovered and cancelled back in April. I could easily have paid for a pointless report on this and other properties. When you Google Property Onion reviews the first review page was their own site. All reviews are positive so there was the first red flag. Any other unsuspecting clients duped by this crowd?
