Default contacting seller directly before a house goes to auction.

Hello everyone, I finally found the house I would like to buy, and now it now appears that I may be to late. The house is an estate, and has been on the market for aprox. 5 months. As I was looking into mortgage options, the Realtor removed the listing from their web site. The Agent that was handling the property indicated that the executor of the estate is planning to auction the property, and is not taking any additional offers. I really like the property an am reluctant to let it go with out a fight. How could I try to get in contact with person, or persons in control of the estate? I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.

Shen

Default Re: contacting seller directly before a house goes to auction.

Obtaining this information was fairly easy. A quick call to the county Register/Recorder office gave me the name, and address of the executor. Whitepages.com was able to find the telephone number. The GIS data on the assessors web site, also had some very useful information about the property.

The realtor was being completely honest, and the executor is planning to sell the house at auction. Does any know how the realestate auction process works in PA? How much time do you have to obtain a loan after the sale? Does the buyer pay all of the fees?

Thanks again for all of your help!
