12 Canova Court

Fairborn, OH 45324, Greene County

Ohio offers two types of foreclosure sales:

1. The sheriff runs in-person foreclosure sales, also known as a sheriff sale. These take place at the courthouse.
2. A court-appointed private selling officer (PSO) conducts foreclosure sales.

The properties sold at these two types of auctions are all in the same stage of the foreclosure process. At both sales, a third-party bidder buys the property or it reverts to the lender. When it reverts, it becomes a real estate owned (REO) or bank-owned property. Auction.com lists properties for auction at either of these sales.

Registration is required for each property you wish to bid on in an Auction.com online foreclosure sale. This simple process only requires a free Auction.com account and a credit or debit card to place a bid deposit hold (usually $100). This hold is required to verify your identity and maintain the integrity of the auction. Your card will not be charged. The hold will be released after the auction is completed.

Once these steps are taken, you will be authorized to bid and may place a bid once the auction is opened. This hold is required to verify your identity and maintain the integrity of the auction. Your card will not be charged. The hold will be released after the auction is completed.

Interior access is not available for any property sold at a foreclosure auction. All foreclosed properties are sold as is, where is.

You'll need to estimate any repair or upgrade costs from a distance. Even if you think the home is vacant, treat it as occupied. These homes have not transferred ownership yet. So, walking on or entering the property is trespassing and a crime.
