Does the Public Trustee have information about other possible liens on the foreclosed property?
- No. Our office only has information concerning the lien being foreclosed.
What happens if no one shows up to the sale?
- All properties are struck off to the Lender placing the beginning bid.
How do I know what is going to sale?
- A “Pre-Sale List” is posted on the Public Trustee home page every week. This list is generally available by 5:00 p.m. Monday for the current week’s sale.
Can I see the property up for sale?
- No. Foreclosure sales are buyer beware and the Public Trustee does not know any information about a property – there is no express or implied warranty/guarantee.
