WOW! Everyone is missing the mark! Upon transfer of title at a foreclosure/trustee sale....all junior liens are wiped out! All you need to know is if the value of the home matches what you wish to pay for it.

Just with common sense, you can do it yourself, remember that if you hire a realtor in this case, you will be the only one to pay the realtor's dues, so if you hire one, make it on a flat fee basis for that job, not for a full commission, since there are no negotiations involved.

Agree with Michael on this one. I would also add that a IRS tax lien cannot easily be traced with a preliminary title report. Tread carefully

Title companies can be very helpful. You'll also want to go to the county recorder's office.

Just call a title representative and they'll be glad to help. They'll run a preliminary title report on the property. If you dont have one in mind try Wes Stoner Laywers Title 714 588-2982. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me.

A title company would be able to tell you whether or not there are outstanding liens against the property.
If you want, you can hire a Realtor to handle your end of the transaction, but the work of researching the title and any liens will fall to the title company.
