April 8, 2010 - PRLog -- However, without the right research and information it can be overwhelming to try to figure out which of these services to actually use. Read on for some suggestions on what to look for when evaluating a websites that lists foreclosed properties.

Hector Milla Editor of the "Free Home Foreclosure Listings" website -- http://www.FreeHomeForeclosureListings.net -- pointed out;


Find Free Trials

“…One of the most important way a site can show the value of it's service is through offering a free trial. Frequently a good trial service can save the searcher money, since the week of free time that is usually offered is often enough to find some great deals. Even if someone finds they need to subscribe, the cost is usually nominal compared to the savings of buying a foreclosed home versus a regular listing…”

Another benefit to a free trial offer is the confidence the website owners have in their product. By offering a functional trial period, a website knows it will only make money if the person looking for homes likes their service enough to continue being a member. This indicates a site that has confidence in the quality of the service they offer, which is always a good sign.

Do Good Research

A home is a major purchase, so always research any site that offers free listings. Start by checking with the Better Business Bureau to make sure a company has a solid business reputation from people who purchased continued service. It also may be of benefit to search online for the experiences of other customers who found a home through a certain list service.

“…When a home seems particularly interesting, it can be of benefit to do research on the home as well. Typing the home's address into an internet search engine may be all that is necessary to give someone an idea of how long the property was on the market before it became a foreclosure and what it cost. Checking similar neighborhood property listings may also be of benefit. A simple search for the site of the county the home is located in plus an address is frequently all that is necessary to see if back taxes are owed as well. With the right search, finding a good foreclosure listings website can be a great way to start searching for a new house…” added H. Milla.
