Red Deer Foreclosures and Court Sales
Court or judicial sales, Red Deer foreclosures are properties the Court of King’s Bench has ordered to be listed for sale. Only offers without conditions will be considered, and the judge will make the final decision on the sale. A property in foreclosure is more involved than the average sale, and it is recommended to always work with a real estate agent who is familiar with the process. Some of the things to consider when buying a foreclosure in Red Deer Alberta.
- The judge will determine when the possession day is, it typically is a month after the court date, but is subject to vary.
- An offer must be left open long enough for the court time to be scheduled, if the offer is even acceptable. This can take weeks or even months depending on how busy the courthouse is.
- An offer is not negotiated typically, the plaintiffs’ lawyers will just decide if it is worthwhile taking the offer to court.
- No Real Property Report (RPR) or land survey will be provided.
- It is possible sometimes the person being foreclosed on is still living in the property adding additional risk for the buyer, as the property is to be purchased as is condition.
- Items not attached to the property may not come with the property, and will not be written into the offer.
