The last trustee's sale that I had performed for me (I'm a lender in TX) cost me about $1200 or so, plus my lost interest, late charges and my fix-up and reselling costs (another $12K).My attorney cuts me a pretty tight fee for handling these for me, more than I could do it myself for, less than the bank's attorney (generally a brother in law deal) charges them.

They have painted, used power tools, measured and cut siding, placed trim, dug ditches, cut sheetrock, pulled carpet, filled dumpsters, swept roofs, raked yards, cleaned driveways and gutters, built walls, hung new cabinets, hung notices, sat in court, and so much more; if they knew it or not learned more hands-on Real Estate than any book could teach them.All that said, my 23 year old daughter wants to get into the business.
