Bank Changed Locks - Now What?

[Dave Savage]

Got a call from a motivated seller today. He claims he got a notice that the Bank has started foreclosure on his vacant property, but never a final notice from the bank or a court hearing, etc. When I asked to see the property he stated that the bank (or someone) had changed the locks on the property and he no longer has access.

Has the bank already taken this property back? I am going to search county records to try and track it down but thought I would get some input on my next steps from the forum.
