Foreclosure Transactions & Foreclosure Law
 |
Foreclosure transactions are ruled by a body of federal and state laws as well as common law. The requirements differ significantly from state to state.
Foreclosure brokers are agents of the seller that can obtain a buyer for their property. The contract between the broker and seller is named a listing agreement. This listing agreement may be an open agreement whereby the broker gets a commission only if he or she is able to find a buyer. It doesn't matter if you are in New York, New Jersey, California or Arizona; you should talk to a foreclosure lawyer for you peace of mind.
A listing is exclusive only if the broker is the one entitled to a commission for finding a buyer. Under an exclusive arrangement a foreclosure broker may be entitled to a commission even if the seller finds a buyer without the brokers aid. Foreclosure brokers are licensed and regulated by local state laws. To know these laws you may contact a foreclosure lawyer here at the Foreclosure Law Offices.
The agreement between the buyer and the seller is governed by the general principles of foreclosure contract law. It is normally required in foreclosure contracts that the title to the property sold be marketable. This requires that the seller have proof of title to all the property he or she is selling and that third parties not have undisclosed interests in the title.

A title insurance company or an attorney is often employed by the buyer to investigate whether the title is, indeed, marketable. Title insurance companies also insure the buyer against losses caused by the title being invalid. In order to pass title, a deed with a proper description of the land must be executed and delivered. Some states require that the deed be officially recorded to establish ownership of the property and/or provide notice of its transfer to subsequent purchasers.
The most common method of financing foreclosure transactions is through a mortgage.
