It can easily take more than six months before a property is sold on the court room steps at auction.
If the owner hires an attorney, it may drag out in the courts for 1 - 2 years. With all the foreclosure problems the banks are having these days, it may take even longer.You may, in the meantime, want to write the seller and ask them if they would be interested in doing a short sale during the foreclosure process. If you have a Realtor ask them to write the letter.
If you can call the owner that may be better, but you must make sure that the owner is not on the do-not-call list. There are some providers of do-not-call lists, but it may cost you some money to get one. I think that if you know to ask for them, you can get 2 or 3 zip codes for free. Your Realtor, too, may have a list available.
