How Can I Find Who's Bought At Auction?

Question

Hi all,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. Does anyone know if either auction sites or individual counties keep a log of the homes that were bought? I am looking for buyer information in order to reach out to auction buyers in my area.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Nick

Auction sites don't typically post the log of the homes that sold, at least in my 3 year experience. You'd have to be at the auction to get that information. But Ujwal is right! The county will keep records. The counties I work with in Texas keep them electronically so you'd have to see if that applies for your county!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated, I will look into it for my farm's counties.

Ujwal, nice to hear from a fellow Michigan man! I'm originally from Grand Rapids.

Your county will keep the records, and most should be online. You can ask your local treasurer's office, or simply google for land record information for your county. It will show most of the foreclosure auction properties, and everything else that was actually recorded through the county. Sometimes I see that counties do a poor job of recording/uploading the data electronically though.
