Trustee sale was last week, where do I go NOW?????!!!!!!

[Jeff P]

Hello Everyone!!!

Here's what's going on... My wife and I are in love with the house down the street from where we live(rent). It happens to be in foreclosure and we want it! I just attended the Los Angeles area Trustee's Sale/Auction at the court house steps and no one bid on it - or the other 200 that were going for bid that day. Anyhow, I have an agent that says she's experienced with REO's and what I want her (or preferably me) do is to find out how, where and when I can submit an offer to the beneficiary (Countrywide Financial) directly in hope of buying the home before it makes it to a broker or the MLS. Nothing against the home being listed or agents, we just want a good deal and make sure it doesn't get out to the public. She said shes working on it and it could take some time...

So what can I or should I do? Can I place an offer into Countrywide - and if so, how do I do that? I've gone so far as to call the MERS and find out that Countrywide IS the owner if this home now.

PLEASE HELP!
