RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosure properties, has formed a new partnership with Bid4Homes, an online auction site specializing in distressed property from banks, government agencies and private parties. The partnership enables RealtyTrac users to research and bid on a wide selection of online real estate auctions nationwide. According to the companies, the Bid4Homes proprietary Web-based applications and patented deposit system make it easy for real estate brokers, agents, asset managers and private sellers to list homes for auction on RealtyTrac.
In addition to bank-owned properties and properties from private sellers, Bid4Homes offers forfeited properties from the U.S. Marshals Service, seized properties from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and tax-foreclosed properties from more than 50 counties nationwide.
