It probably is a glitch, but I have noticed that many homes that are going to auction have no notice on the property that would indicate this. Check out REDC’s website as they look to be one of the biggest real estate auctioneers in SoCal. Also check Bruce Norris’s web site as he is focused very sharply on the REO market and updates pretty regularly on the various shinanigans that lenders, real estate brokers and auctioneers are pulling. This is new ground for just about everyone and it’s showing.
