Foreclosures

Previous Owners Never Left After Foreclosure

Hello BP,
I am looking at purchasing a property that was foreclosed on five months ago. The property has been listed on the MLS as currently occupied. When I questioned the seller's agent, he said the owners never left after the bank foreclosed on them. What is the best course of action to take in this situation?
